Caution!

*** warning, toddler nudity! ***

Again, photos of Hannah from 2004: here she is doing her two favorite things: Being naked, and colouring on the wall. She had her own wall space, and was allowed to colour only there, which worked out well. I have since painted over the site, and I kind of wish that I didn't! Now, at seven years old, she is an exceptional illustrator.... maybe from starting so young?









Supplies:

Paper is unknown -- it came from a big Costco box of paper for my classroom, but fit this LO so well!
Download the "Caution" sign for SCAL2, or make one with GrilledCheese BTN and a rounded square
Cuttlebug Spots and Dots embossing folder
Autumn Leaves Scribbles Alphabet
Memento Rhubarb ink pad
Stickopotamus vellum sticker tags

Most of my files are svgs, but this one is not. It was created in SCAL2.

Little Mommy

Continuing the Mother's day theme, I made this LO of Hannah in 2004. She's being mommy's helper and taking care of her baby and the house. Who knows where she learnt to vacuum, that's not in imitation of me!!







Paper is K&Co Addison Blue Gingham
Fonts: "little"Aharoni and "mommy"4 my Lover
Red Stickles
Hello Kitty Greeting cricut cartridge

New carts -- but not announced yet!

I have the scoop! Well, not really. Custom Crops has on preorder four new carts, but they haven't been announced yet. In case they get pulled, I've saved the images! So for your viewing pleasure, here they are!

Mother's Day LO

Well, it's not an actual Mother's Day LO, but it is my mother, and it is a LO! :-) Here's my mum, in a series of pictures, of her doing her favorite activity, sailing! She was an avid enthusiast, and came to it later in life when my dad was approaching retirement. This is for my own personal scrapbook, "All About Me" -- which has very few pages! Isn't it hard to scrap yourself??

Mommy Dog

Another of my dog's pages: These pictures are taken about six years apart. That dog was so kind and patient with her girls; she often acted like a doggie "mommy" to them. It's also interesting to see the difference a camera will make: the left photo is of my older daughter, taken in 2003 with a cheapy point-and-shoot film camera. On the right is my littlest girl, taken 2009 with my DSLR.

Brads
K&Co Gather Together paper

A Matchbox!

I love cute litte boxes. This is my first box svg I've made, and it's for a mother's day present. You can also see it on My Sheri Crafts Callenge week 3. I cut it on a 12x12 sheet for the example, but the svg is made for 8.5x11" paper. If you do resize, make sure you keep the proportions! This box won't work if you skew it!
