1st Tractor Ride

Good Morning and I hope you are all having a fine day today, I wanted to get this post done before I really dive into the paper work for my tax appointment later today.

The layout is about Zachys first tractor ride on the big gold tractors :) Our Minneapolis-Moline tractors is always a favorite with the grand kids and the kids in general big or small, but this was Zachy's 1st time for a ride and smiles galore from all the adults but shoot I don't think we got any from Zach other than a half smile.
The layout came from my Counterfeit kit from Jan or maybe it was Nov, but either way it's a done deal.

The left side of the layout was all about Dad and Son on the Tractor. The tractor is Gold and Red so I kept my color scheme the same. I used stickers from the Simple Stories Harvest Lane sticker sheet at various spots on the layout.

The right side holds pictures of Zachy with Pappy and Grammy :) Pappy was well pleased to take the grandson for a ride and I was having fun holding him up on my tractor for a photo op, he was enjoying the steering wheel and playing with it saying brrmm brrmmm. More of the stickers scattered around

the die cuts on both of these pictures were from the Country Life cricut cartridge with shadow. I fussy cut the girl off the tractor. I'm seeing I did forget to add the red stickles for the center of the wheel rims yet.






the photo mat for the photo of me with Zach was from a sheet of a variety of different images to cut out and this was a post card style cut thought it was a cute vintage style mat

The title was created with the letters from the sticker sheet that I added to a piece of Creative Memories cardstock I had in my stash and I cut it to give it a pennant look.

this will be for the journaling I have to do yet, need to look it up in my journal to get the right feeling into it and the date.

the photo mat for the top photo was a sheet of a variety of different images to cut out and this was a Polaroid style cut.
So I have one more layout to do for this album WOW I can't believe I'm nearly done with this project working on it now 2 years and I think. With all the Big Picture Classes (Starting a new one today Before You Story more to come on that) and The Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog that I have to thank them for helping me through this project. Plus I want to do the 10 min card challenge yet and then I can say I killed the kit :)
Thanks a bunch for stopping by my little corner of the world today and I hope you have a fantastic day :)

I have included this in the following Challenges:

1st Workspace Wednesday

Good Morning all,
Well we got another snow storm over night, guess the groundhog was right we've been having winter since his prediction :)

This is what I woke up to. About 6.5" of snow at 6:15 AM.

So you ask what's this Workspace Wednesday? It's a new inclusion on my blog, got this idea from Mrs. Crafty Adams she did it last week and it look like a great idea for a day, you can see her's from last week here.
So this is what my workspace looks like this morning:

I'm working on a 2-page layout of Zach's 1st tractor ride oh what a cool day that was. I love to scrap especially older photos (I know 3 years isn't that old, but...) all the memories from that day flood back and you get to relive it.

The paper and Alpha is from the Counterfeit Kit Challenge-Nov Kit for the layout

The die cuts are from :

Country Life cartridge I chose HeeHaw cut at 3.5", I cut a few so I had more on hand. I will cut off the girl (but I have one saved back with her on it for another layout). The girl just wasn't working for this particular  layout.
So that is what I'm working on and with being snowed in I should get it finished up today, but the hubby is expecting a cake tonight since I'm home so that will be done first :)

What's on your desk?

Have a fabulous day

Happy Mother's Day

This was a fun card to make (repost for Mother's Day) and I would have been proud to give it to my mother for Mother's Day.

The recipe for this A2 card is:

Dry emboss: Cuttlebug Victoria folder, Scallop cut came from Accent Essentials MoM cut came from Jasmine, Picher of flowers came from Country Life. Paper and Cardstock came from The Paper Company: Natural Fashion Colors and My Minds Eye Bella Bella collection and various scraps I had. Glitters is from stickles in yellow and gold.

I wish all the Moms out there in blog land a Happy Mother's Day, hope you all have a great day.

A Spring Time Card

I finished up all my swaps for the month of March this past monday night. The last 2 cards I did was sympathy card and my choice just as long as a cricut was used in the process (6 of each). Since I've been waiting for spring to arrive in Pennsylvania I decided a spring card would encourage the mood a bit.

This card was alot of fun to do once I got it planned out. Recipe is: 4.25" X 5.5" (A2) size salmon color cardstock. The butterfly, pup and bone (under scallop oval sentiment) was cut from Paper Pups cart, the shovel and dirt pile were cut from Freshly Picked cart, and the banner spring letters and pendants were cut from Country Life cart. Can You Dig It was used from a computer font and cut with an oval punch from Stampin Up.
I will also be putting this card into my first challenge: Fantabulous Cricut Challenge for their "Looks Like Spring" challenge. Can't wait for what will be next.
