What's the Movie Theme at Red Carpet Studios?

Well it's:

Bicentennial Man, of course!

ehem....have to admit....I've never seen this movie. So, I'm glad that we just have to use metal on our creations! :) That's what I love about RCS challenges, you don't have to know the movie to play along with the challenges!!!!

Our sponsor for this challenge is:

and this is what I made:

This is the "sister" page to the layout I posted on Oct. 10th.

I used a sketch from PageMaps.

I'm loving this paper, Vintage Bliss.

The metal I used is a butterfly clip from Mayo Road.

I hope you have a chance to play along with our challenge at Red Carpet Studios!

Thanks for checking out my blog.

Until next time...

Little Sweet P!

Hello!

Here's a little double page layout....it's simple...but I think really cute! :)

It involves one of my cutest subjects also....my niece Presley.

I love lining up pics like this to scrap. It's super easy!

The circles and title are cut with my Cricut.

Have a great day!

Until next time...

Doe a Deer.....

I've got one cute little niece!

Lookie, lookie....

Yes this is the niece that is almost 4 years old!!! Yikes, I'm behind on my Scrapping.

I am making an 8x8 album of her birth up to 1 year. This is her first Christmas, she was a little over 2 weeks old. That outfit was adorable and you cannot imagine how many pictures I got of her in it! It's shameful!!! :)

Oh well!

The background paper is from SU! and the scalloped border is cut with my Cricut from the Art Philosophy cart.

Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time...

This Halloween!

I made Bethany's cat ears and painted her face. She thought that was the grandest thing. When our niece came by, she wanted her face painted and cat ears too! My sister said she's just gonna have to start checking with me each Halloween to see what Bethany's going as and let Presley go as the same thing! hahaha I went ahead and did it for her. She left with a cat head and giraffe bottom! *giggle*

Happy Halloween!
Oh and enjoy the candy but don't get a tummy ache! :~)

They Say It's Very Rare....

....to have a white Christmas in Alabama....but we got it this year!
We woke up Christmas morning to this...


and as I type this, the day after Christmas, it is still snowing! Two days of snow is really unheard of around here. Right now we have about 6 inches! That is also a rarity and by the way it's snowing right now we're looking at an inch or 2 more. Wow! I love it. It's beautiful. The only down side is that church was called off today and we really can't go anywhere. It's 29 degrees so the roads are covered over and icy and there are no salt trucks in site. Oh well, we have great indoor plans. Bethany and I are going to make cookies in a little while and both the kids get lots of time to play with their great Christmas gifts. Oh yeah, we got a WII gaming system "for the kids" that is keeping Brandon and I busy! We love it! Hummmm, I think stew or chili will be in the plans today too. Yummy.

Here's our little crafty snowman. He has button eyes, a sewn scarf and a ribbon mouth. :-)
Ain't he cute?!

Speakin' of cute, here's my niece, Presley (my sister's daughter)...

Is she not the most adorable child?! She just had her 2nd birthday and she is so sweet. When she sees you come in the door she runs to you for a hug saying "HI!" at the top of her lungs and then there's the sweetest little "I uv you" while she's hugging. Another cute thing she does is saying "I sorry" when she bumps into you.

Oh and of course out of all the great things she got for Christmas, at Nana's house she decided the box was the best of all!

I know you have a pic of your kids or grandkids like this. The box is always the greatest!

I hope you all had a great Christmas.
Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time...
