i know … original title there! lol! promised i’d share a few layouts … so i’m here to do that.

this is a 9×9 layout. i’ve had this older picture of ariana laying around with these papers for months …  all matched up and ready to go. finally did something with them. my minds eye papers, overlay (on the picture) and tag and some american craft felt flowers … love those things. and funny story on that stitching … it’s a rubon of course … why take out the sewing machine when i can rub my stitches on. lol! but i originally had some other rubons out … and one of the sheets had come off the protective backing and was stuck on the other rubons. so i try and salvage them and next thing you know … i had a ton of rubon stitches stuck nicely down my arm. lol! let me tell you … rubons are a pain in the tush to get off your skin! lol!

this is a 12×12 layout that i started ages ago. if i had these pictures out these days … i probably would have done something entirely different. but they were already on the paper … so i really just wanted to finish it up. my minds eye pattern paper, lil davis rubons and chipboard flowers. and check out the inking i did on that layout. for someone that was known big-time for my inking (in all my classes i taught) … i NEVER ink anymore. lol!

Alyssa_grown

and another 12×12 layout that i had started ages ago … like about 3 months ago. i had wanted to use those circle stickers and wasn’t sure what to do with them … so i cut them up and added them. basic grey pattern paper and lil davis chipboard letters and hearts.

so … those are a few. nothing jaw dropping … but they’re done and off my desk. lol! gotta run here … i’ve got 4 girls running around the house being very noisy. lol! and we have a light drizzle of rain going on … so the girls are already hopeing that softball is canceled for the day (sarah has practice and ashlen has a game). i think there has been a total of about 26 raindrops … but around here that’s huge! lol!

edited to add: ok, it’s really raining here! those 26 raindrops turned into a dreary, dark, and rainy afternoon. lol! i don’t think it’s rained in over 2 months here. so needless to say … no softball tonight!
