A Happy Wednesday

Last week I think I was too ambitious to think I would be able to blog a week about Savannah. It was just another crazy week! DH's job has been keeping him busier than usual even though we are leaving soon for California. I am still busy with all of my commitments and of course being mom! I will post again about my trip to Savannah and my favorite part of all....the shopping! 

Scrapdoodles hosted a class with Claudine Hellmuth last Saturday and let me just say.....she rocks! Her paints and products rock! I learned so many new techniques and I am so excited to start incorporating them into my crafting! Thank you Scrapdoodles for having her!

I am so glad that I signed up for the Sketchbook class by Kelly Purkey because it gave me so much needed inspiration for my scrapping. Here is a layout I did using Nicole Samuel's take of Day 2 sketch:

I love how the banners weave around the photo. I would never have thought of doing that! I also had fun added cellophane to the back of those super cute K& Company photo frames and using it for my title block. I can't wait to go back upstairs and do more!

As I mentioned in my last post I got a really boost from poking my nose in the ShopSCAD store and I saw an idea that I wanted to incorporate for home decor in my own house. Here's what I made:

This just makes me smile so much. I want to do more of these in different styles and give them to friends before we move. I intentionally put three eggs in my bird's nest because we are playing around with when to try for our third chick-a-dee. I hope soon because the baby is almost out of diapers. Don't want to get too spoiled do I????

I also saw on SC's blog the challenge for the home decor. So while I was at the thrift store I saw this super ugly Christmas corkboard that was just screaming, "Make me over please!" It was only a dollar so I grabbed it and went to work on it. 

 

 I am so happy with the colors. I think that blue is personally my favorite. I also got a chance to dip into my stash and use those Sassafrass flowers from last year. I loved that line and I swore I would use those flowers right away but never did! I also got to use the Prima centers from this month's kit the big flower. I hung it in my 2nd floor hallway and it makes me smile when I pass it. I don't usually like the stuff I make but this time I am satisfied! DH liked it too!

Well, that's all for now!

Happy Humpday!
