Hi Y'all! Happy Tuesday to you! I hope you are having a grand week so far! The hubby and I decided on a whim to come down to see our families in Alabama for a bit, so I am at home visiting. But it's all good because my Mom is a scrapper too. I brought a few of my own supplies and she let's me have access to her scrappy stash as well, so it is so much fun! We scrapped together for several hours last night and had a ball! We hope to ask my grandmother to come and scrap with us one day while I'm home. The three of us haven't scrapped in a long time and I thought it would be a blast to get together. So I am very excited about that!
Last night, I was able to finish 1 layout and 2 cards. Then I woke up bright and early this morning and got to work again. Sadly, Mom had to work. She teaches 5th grade and I know she is counting down the days 'til summer. But it was nice to scrap in her room. She has such a nice space. So I wanted to share all that I finished with you today. Here is what I accomplished...
First up, another layout for the album I'm working on for Mrs. Kiel. I created the following layouts focusing on Audrey's first bath at home. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, she is just such a cutie! I love how she even has a pink bow in her hair while she gets her first bath! So sweet!! As you can see in the pix, Mom gets help from big sister too!

These 2 little circles are where Mrs. Kiel can journal her thoughts.
I added some pearls/rhinestones to the centers of the flowers on this border strip.
As you can see, I have a new toy!!! Tee Hee! I purchased one of the Martha Stewart Large "Punch Around The Page" sets. I was quite shocked when I received this punch set in the mail. They are huge! And although I love them and would recommend them, if you have trouble applying pressure to punch down, these might not be for you. I had a little trouble applying pressure to punch with these and I was using medium weight paper. I told Mom that I thought some people might have trouble with these, especially if they have arthritis or other hand/wrist problems. Mom said I should work as a tester for Martha Stewart...I said 'sign me up!' LOL
HERE is a link if you'd like to see this punch set. I purchased mine on Ebay for about $20.

These little heart die cuts are where Mrs. Kiel can journal her thoughts.
I cut these butterflies out from the patterned paper and used them as embellishments.

Next, I have a couple cards to share with you. Mom said she needs lots of birthday cards for her card box, so I tried to create a few for her. These are super simple and I had them both done in under 30 minutes. I hope she'll like them.
