Gail - 1954

Here I am as a baby. 

I used the SSZ Summer kit plus added some of the trim I've been hoarding. This is sketch 9 from BPC 28 Days of Sketches.

Elephant or Moose? - 2012

Day 17 from BPC 28 Days of Sketches.  Paper from my scrap bin and I used some microbeads (that I got at Xmas) on a chipboard heart . 

These photos are of a birthday gift I received from a friend. She collects moose and I collect elephants. She thought this animal looked like a combo of the two.  Is it an elemoose or a moosephant?

The journaling reads:

This is Dad's version of the story: "The owner of this camel was not too happy when he turned around and saw me take this picture. With the poor little boy hanging on for dear life, the Arab and the camel chased me down the beach. He kept hollering for money while the boy's parents were fit to be tied watching their poor son bouncing along trying to hang on."

Ben & Jerry's - 2011

Day 2 Sketch from BPC - 28 Days of Sketches.

Our tour of the Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream factory in Vermont. 

I used the SSZ Summer 2011 kit plus some ribbon and buttons from my stash.  I made my own diecut ice cream cone with the Fiskars pennant and cloud punches.  The ice cream photo is downloaded from the internet (we weren't allowed to take photos in the factory itself where we ate the sample). 

Christmas Ornaments - 2010

I've started at an on-line class at Big Picture Classes called 28 Days of Sketches, Round 2. Like the title suggests, you get a new sketch to use each day for 28 days.

This layout is based on Day 1 and is of some of my Xmas ornaments and the new tree topper for 2010. I used old Basic Grey and BoBunny Xmas papers from my stash. I punched out some snowflakes to give some added dimension.
