Blog Candy Alert! from Kerry at Three Clovers Designs

Go check out the yummy blog candy being offered by Kerry at Three Clovers Designs here. And those sugar cookies she has pictured look so good too! Think I might have to do some baking this week and not the chocolate chip cookie dough that I made and put in the fridge a couple of days ago.

Fishin' on the pond

Grandma and Grandpa Roe have a pond behind their house in Kansas. The kids love to fish and take the canoe out when we go and visit. It always seems like there is an overabundance of sunfish out there. The boys have also been known to catch a bass or two and even a catfish or turtle. These pictures were taken when we visited this last September. Poor Jül, Aunt Ai and Uncle Greg's puggle, wanted to go swimming in the pond so badly, but instead she got tied to the fence so she wouldn't get grandma's house all muddy.

This layout is a 2 page layout class I will teach at a local crop in February. It uses Close To My Heart's new Emporium papers from the Spring 2009 Idea Book.

Another Christmas card

I know Christmas is now past, I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. Here is another Christmas card that I made for 2008. For this card, I used my cuttlebug to make the swirl background. The ornament I traced from the negative image of my Paper Salon Chipboard dies. The "Merry Christmas" sentiment is from Inkadinkadoo stamped in CTMH Twilight ink. I used Stickles for the top of the ornament and some silver cording for the hanger. Note: I did tweak the image in HP Image zone so you could see the cuttlebug background better.

I planned to add more images but the computer has decided not to cooperate. Will share them later.
