For my project I made a little book to hold inspirational quotes. As a general rule I try not to work on finishing details of a project when I"m tired but it's been a crazy week so I quickly sat down to finish up my project late last night. This is supposed to be an inspirational book so why I made a sad little girl on the cover I'm not sure, I guess she was reflecting my mood at the moment. The little girl from Scraptastical Kreations she's in a set called Apple Blossoms. I ran out of room for her hat and replaced the apple with a pink cancer ribbon. 

Thank you for joining us for our hop, the next stop is Robin.

Cut it up challenge #26

I'm home schooling my 2 boys so I created a form to organize our lesson plans. When I saw the challenge over at Cut it up Challenges I knew it was time to stop procrastinating and finally create a cute cover for my lesson plan book.  

I used files from Scraptastical Kreations to create my cover. I love mixing files and this project is no different as I used 4 different files. The yellow "sun" came from Sophisticated Scallops , the dino is from Dino-mite Birthday , the books are from I heart reading and the apple is from Apple Blossoms

For my project I made a layout for the pictures I took at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. You can purchase lettuce and feed the giraffe herd, it's so fun to watch their long tongues reaching towards your lettuce filled hand.
I found the paper at a local scrapbook store, the giraffe head came from a pattern called A Day at hte Zoo from Scraptastical Kreations. I really struggled with the giraffe herd at the bottom of the page but I love how it turned out.

I had the hardest time trying to figure out what to make for this hop, but as I was digging through my stash I found numerous projects that I had started but never finished, I'm pretty sure all the projects were started 2 duty stations ago (shh don't tell my husband that we've moved them twice and they STILL aren't finished) . I love making word books and I found at least 6 wordbooks I haven't finished so I sat down and finished this one.
All of the paper is from The Angel Company that I've had it at least 7 years. The stamps are also from The Angel Company they are at least 5 years old

My boys are constantly bringing me bugs they have found so for my project I made a digital layout using files from Scrappy Dew.

Father's Day blog hop

Welcome to the "Father's Day" Blog Hop!  

We're so happy you could join us today to honor Fathers, Brothers, Sons, Uncles or any other man who has been a great influence in our lives!

We don't want you to miss any of the fun! 


In addition to seeing a lot of awesome projects, there is some blog candy available too.  Miranda will be giving away a Michael’s or JoAnn's gift card (winner's choice).  To be eligible for the blog candy, you are required to visit each stop in the hop and leave a comment!  
The winner will be announced Wednesday, June 19th on Miranda's blog! 

For my project I made a keepsake layout with a spot for a picture and the handprints of our children.  I found the poem on the internet, it says 

Daddy

I'm glad that you're my daddy

Though I am little, I understand

All the love you give to me

That it's you who takes my hand

To show me the wonders of life

To teach me the things I need to know

Your loving way will guide me

Through each year as I grow

I know right now I'm little

But when my growing is done

I dream I'll be like you, daddy

A caring and loving person! 

Next on the hop is Lisa !!!
