Give a Scrap About Autism

Very old baby picture of Evan...  I love my blue
cookie monster - made from a scallop punch and some
circle punches.  Also crazy about the silver rub on
from Jenni Bowlin.

This last weekend we had a fundraising scrap for autism.  It was totally awesome!  I can't remember when I had so much fun :)

I didn't really have any specific project to work on, so I just took a bunch of kits and some random photos.  These were the pages I ended up with...

This was made from my most FAVORITE kit - For the Record
by Echo Park.  Cute pictures of the boys... You can dress
them up, but you can't take them out...

And finally some older Christmas pictures.  Had a hard time with these because of all the bright blue.
Ended up avoiding it altogether.  Like how they turned out :)

Mom's Birthday Card - Sixty!?!

Sixty years has my mother passed upon this earth... amazing!  In honour of this occasion, I created this beauty!  It has a bit of this and a bit of that to create the whole :)  The green paper is from the Jackson Garden collection, the brown flocked paper and the brown floral paper are from the Little Boy Blue collection, the cream embossed paper is from the Graceful collection, the kraft doilie is from the Double Dutch collection, the buttons are from the This & That collection and the flower is from the Portobello Rd collection.  The final touch was the some green sticker numbers that I shined up with a VersaMarker and some glossy enamel embossing powder.  I inked the embossed paper and zigzag stitched around it.  I love how this turned out.  This is one of my favourite colour combos too :)

Card I made for Mom's 60th Birthday...

And for the Record...

So, this kit from Echo Park ticks almost every favourite button I have!  I LOVE the colours, LOVE the style, can't seem to stop using this one!!  It has that awesome combination of vintage and office supply, mixed with fresh exciting colours that makes me love it oh, so much.

My favourite part of this first layout is the little shipping tags I cut from the border paper.  Also kinda crazy about the rainbow effect of the background paper while still maintaining the "white-ness".  On the second layout, totally love the vintage camera, the chipboard flower, the ledger background paper and the little alphabet strips.  So happy, me!

Grandma made him... such a naughty boy!

Some old pics... Brody's diaper station was still in the corner
of the living room!

And last but not least, the video production of these beauties :)
