Anything Goes

The theme this week for House of Paper is anything goes. I just received this new Echo Park Country Drive paper, so I decided to use it on both of my layouts.

This first layout is about one of my son's best friends. Today would be his 17th birthday. We sure do miss you Devin and think of you often. When Devin passed away it affected a lot of people. Lots of kids were texting to do this or that in honor of Devin. Several kids wore best dress to school to honor him. His closest friends made T-Shirts and wrote their memories with Devin on them. They put his last name and his football number on the back. He was such a good kid and is greatly missed.

This next layout is my youngest son and some of his friends at the World's Fair at his school. I wish I could have made it around to get more pictures, but its so packed in the school on this night. Each 6th grader chooses a country to learn about and they work on it for over 4 months, then they put on this big World's Fair and tell everyone about what they learned. It is a big production and a lot of work.

Father's Day Gift idea

I've been looking for Father's Day gift ideas. I've seen other boxes similar to this on Split Coast Stampers, and I decided that I could figure it out and make one myself. This would hold a tie, or other small gift. I'm going to fill it with candy. I am pleased with how it turned out! What do you think?

Scrapbook Stuff

So here are a few of the things I have been working on recently

I found the pattern for these watering cans and thought they would make cute gifts.

This is my oldest son when he played on the High School baseball team

This is one of my twins. He was chosen as an All-Star for his basketball team.

I have made some other things, they are uploaded in my gallery at House of Paper if you want to see what else I have been up to.

Fun projects

Here are some recent projects I made.

I've seen a similar idea, and I thought it would be cut to hold post it notes!

I used black Bazzill and Echo Park for the record paper.

Here is a better view of the flower

and this is what it looks like open.

Another project I made are these cute carrots.

I got the bucket in the dollar spot at Target.

I cut pieces of paper (I used Echo Park Springtime) it was easier to put around the bucket. The green stems are excelsior.

Cute huh?

Valentines Day layout

I made this layout for Roomie Week on the HOP blog. I don't get to use pink very often, so Valentines is a great time. I just love everything that Echo Park puts out, and this is their valentines line called Be Mine.

Thanks for stopping by! Check out the HOP blog this week to see what I'm posting there.

New Layouts

This week our assignment at House of Paper was to scrap about Rebirth and/or Blessed

Whenever I think of rebirth, I think of Spring or Easter. I chose to scrap some old Easter pics using Echo Park Springtime.

For my blessed layout I chose a recent family pic. I used Echo Park for the record paper.
