Timberline: Picture Perfect Day

Hello there!!  I am finally popping in today with something to post!  I often go through spurts of posting.  I really don't mean to go so long between posts, but sometimes I just don't get around to making some artwork.  I wish I could hang out in my craft room all the time, but it just ain't possible.  Darn it, anyway! ;)

My dear friend and fellow scrapbooker is having a birthday this week.  I thought instead of running out and buying something, I would make her a fun layout to use.  She is really ambitious and does two of the same layout for each of her boys' albums.  So...I made two of this very boy layout for her.  I have already given her the layouts, so now I can post it here without spoiling the surprise. ;)

Skylark: On This Day Layout

Hello all!!  I know, I know...I have been MIA lately.  I have been busy with this and that and just haven't spent a lot of time in my craft room.  I actually made this layout several weeks ago and thought I should post SOMETHING!!  I really love this layout.  It is simple and I used more cardstock than I did B&T paper.  I am hoping to get back into the swing of things and get more crafting done.  I will be going to a retreat in a couple of weeks, so I should have some fun stuff to post when I am done with that. :)  Thanks for stopping by!  See you next time.
