Brailee's Black Eye

Well it's been one week since Brailee ran into my leg and crashed to the floor - catching herself with her face :-( She's looking much better now but still has quite the shiner!

Here she is about 10 minutes after the crash - it sure swelled up fast...

Here she is that night...

And it just kept getting worse - here it is on Saturday...

Looking better yesterday...

Any scrapbook page or title ideas ;-)

Inspiration Challenge

For the last two months, I have been posting 'Inspiration Challenges' on the CTMH bulletin boards - it's been fun to see everyone's take on the inspiration that I post.

Here's how it works - every Wednesday I post a picture of something and you use it to inspire you to create anything! You can use the colors, theme, layout, whatever you pull from the picture to inspire you! Does that make sense? Please leave me a link to your creations so I can post them here so we can all see how you were inspired.



This was last week's Inspiration Challenge - this is some of my favorite wrapping paper I've had for quite a while - my girls had to wrap a present for a friend's birthday last week (hence the wrinkled paper) and so I was inspired!

And here is what it inspired - I've had this picture sitting on my desk for the last month just waiting for inspiration and this was perfect. I didn't like my page at first, but after I came back to it 2 hours later, it started to grow on me. After not scrapping for so long, I'm going through withdrawals and not quite getting back into the groove. Hopefully that will change!

All products used are CTMH, except I used my girl's Cuttlekids for the title. I used Reflections: Main Frame - Four Square, black bitty brads for the bunny's eyes, a bigger brad for the nose, two paper flower petals for the ears, chalk for color and depth, Clover Meadow, White Daisy, Sunny Yellow, and Hydrangea CS, Dimensional Element letter H, HodgePodge Alphabet, and Extreme Caps for the date. I used my stylus to freehand the wavy lines on the back of my paper and then I sanded the front to bring out the pattern.

New to the blogging world!

I finally jumped on the blogging bandwagon - welcome to my blog - stay tuned for more!
