Dusty having so much fun outside today we were in the high 50's and it felt warm in the sun
It is so nice to be outside

Dusty swinging and having a blast
off goes the boots he did not like that



We were outside for awhile today Dusty had boots on and they fell off while swinging
the socks were left at the trampoline....like always

He didn't like the boots off but still managed to stick his toes in the cold mud

YUK!
Straight to the bath!

Yep...off goes the boots
and he had to test the mud
"cold"
he said




Hello all,

          It has been a week for me with the class, I had guest over three times this week. I cooked full meals well that is nothing new but ...it does take up lots of time. While my guest were here we decided to play all day...had a super fun time and I made the tag and a few other goodies I hope to take pics of soon. I even painted outside today in between swinging, taking pics, and cooking in the pizza oven. I made some awesome bread in the pizza oven today....oh my goodness.....I must share it. It was amazing yummy!!
Anyway.....the lo is a pic of me and my wonderful hubby Bruce. We took this pic last year in May 2010 right after we left Inspired and stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge for the boys. I really don't have many pics of myself and of us together....but I do like this one. This lo took only like 20 mins. total so it is a quick and easy one! My hubby always says, "I love those kind" you finish so quick...he just doesn't understand does he??? LOL!!!! I also wanted to share some of the pics of the day. Hope you are doing awesome and thanks for stopping by!! Huge Cyber Hugs, Dawn Gallop

Hello again,
Last night I couldn't sleep, so I decided I would scrap a page. Checked out Scrapbook.com for a challenge,
I had checked this one out when she posted it and thought, this is a awesome one.
I started with a pic of Amanda, and edited it to look scary.
The challenge states,
So therein lays the challenge: Create layouts that are out of your comfort zones. Come on over to the dark side!

This month’s challenge topic will be Blood and Roses. There was an old vampire movie called this and I thought it sounded like it could be an interesting theme. Feel free to interpret the title any way you wish to.

Let your imagination and your dark side loose! Have fun! I can’t wait to see what you all will come up with!

Perfect! Amanda's favorite colors are black and red and her room is solid red and she has zebra sheets.
This page is perfect for her.
Within minutes I found the perfect paper from Creative Imaginations.
They came from past Swirlydoos kits.
I created the title using the Gypsy and Happy Hauntings Cart. from Cricut

The lollipop flower I made, the flowers are Petaloo, and Prima.
The paint is red and black acrylic paint watered up and dripped from the top.
The gate is cut from the October 31st Cricut Cart.
I didn't feel so peppy this morning but hey I got a scrapbook page done.
Have a wonderful week!!
Cyber Hugs,
Dawn Gallop

Snow Princess

You can click on the picture to view closer, if needed.

Good Morning everyone. I did this lo lastnight using my SwirlyDoo's kit, I already have my Febuary one but wanted to play with my January one before the month was up. I was so inspired by Sheila's Gypsy cut http://shesasassylady.blogspot.com/ that I made one similar of course mine is no where as fancy and pretty. What I did was while I was at the bus stop waiting to pick the boys up using the Gypsy was use George and Home Accents and welded the circle and the swirl. Then I cut one out with the whole circle in the center, then the top one with the circle cut out. Sheila was using a sketch by Liz Qualman. Sheilas lo is gorgeous, check it out.

The title was from Hello Kitty and the snowflake is from Accents Essentials all welded together. Princess is cut from Gypsy Font, welded. I layered the snowflake four times using thin popdots. The purple paper is some more of the handmade paper me and the boys made from scraps. The pp is Bo Bunny Snowy Serenade....love it!!! The file tab is also Bo Bunny. The while cardstock is Bazzill Basics. The turquoise cardstock is SU.

The white flower from the SwirlyDoos kit is from Prima, which I sprayed with Haunted Shadow Tattered Angels Glimmer mist. The put the stamens in and some ice stickles and Diamond Glaze. The flowers are Bo Bunny and Prima. The snowflake chipboard is also in the kit. I painted it white and then sprinkled on MS ultrafine glitter while wet. The rub on in the pic is KaiserCraft white flourish corner. The snow word was stamped using Autumn leaves swirls using white pigmant ink and crystal sparkle embossing powder, then stamped using SU lavender lace. The screen was from Tattered Angels Vintage Ice. The pic is of my dear granddaughter Abigail, pic taken Dec. 17, 2009 while she was looking at the Christmas Tree, she is wearing this cute little dress I bought from Target after Halloween, that is called Snow Princess costume...Abigail loves it!! She would say Grandma I put my dress on again....too cute!! TFL!! Have a WONDERFUL Day. Dawn :o)
