April DT Projects

Altered Things For Mother's Day.

So we had a very lovely day today. We made dinner for our family and had such a good time visiting and had lots of laughs. I made an altered canvas' for Linda (my mother-in-law) and one for my Mom as their gifts for Mother's Day. It was so cute when I gave Linda hers, she started crying (a good cry). The picture I chose for it is of her cute Jack Russell Terrier named Woody. He is one the sweetest dogs I have ever met and he's been through a lot the last few months. We found out he has cancer and recently finished his last chemo treatment and thank God right now he is in remission but it may not last so I thought what a better gift for her than to have a piece of him forever to hang on her wall. Little did I know that the picture I got my sister-in-law Shana is Linda' favorite one of Woody.



Here's the card I made for her.



My Mom, was late getting home from my Grandma's house and she didn't make it over to see us but I have a lovely altered canvas and a card waiting for her. This a picture of Brian and I at our friend's wedding last year. Maybe I can sneak over to her house sometime this week to give it to her. I can't share her card until next month because I used my DT kit to make it. So I'll post it then.

Here's the canvas that I will be giving to my Mom.

Update...

So I didn't make the DT for Sketch-abilities but some fabulous ladies did and I hope you all go and play because I'm sure they will give you some great inspiration.

I have been working on my May kit for AW&CT and I can't wait to share May's projects with you, Lee gave us some awesome, REMINISCE...Genuine Girl papers. They have been super fun to work with. Alas, you will have to wait until next month to see.

I will be posting a few things I have done recently including my April DT projects in a few days.

Weekend Scrapping

I actually started working on this LO and card during the week, but I did it slowly and they are finally done. These are for some challenges over at Simply Obsessed for their April Spring Cleaning challenges. These were a lot of fun to do. Plus I finally tried stitching on a LO. Those cross-stitching talents came in handy, I did the back stitch all the way around the picture. I really like how this turned out, it is a very simple LO.





Plus I am not so patiently waiting for the May Kit at SO It has Crate Paper patterned papers in it and that is one of my favorite manufacturers. Check out this kit it is amazing.



I realized that I never shared the LO I did with the March monthly challenge kit for Scrapbook Goddess Sonja, aka the Goddess, gave so much good stuff and I still have stuff to use from it.



I also did this LO with the April monthly challenge kit over at Scrapbook Goddess I still have a lot of papers to use from this kit and I intend to. It was fun. If you're looking for a new place to hang out you should come on over and check this website out it's a lot of fun. Oh, this was a total scraplift from my friend Robin. Here's her LO so you can see my inspiration for this LO.



Here's mine



Tune in next week because I will be able to do two things, one post my April DT creations from AW&CT and I will finally find out if I made the DT for Sketch-abilities. There were quite a few applicants over there so keep your fingers crossed for me.

Some LO's to share

In other news I came across this sketch blog called Sketch-abilities through Pub Calls and they are doing at DT call. I decided to give it a try. I love using sketches so I thought I'd give it a shot. All I had to do was to use this sketch for my submission



So here's what I came up with:




I have been scrapping it's just I have not had the time to share them here on my blog. So here are a few things I have done recently

I'm A Bad Bad Blogger

So I promised to draw a name and I totally forgot about until my lovely friend and fellow DT member reminded me that I hadn't updated my blog. While life has been a little busy lately and I just haven't had the time I need to do all the online things I want. I want to apologize for all of you who left comments. I will get the drawing in a moment. I need to put everyone's name in a hat and have Brian draw a name so bear with me.


So the winner is.....

Robin!!!!!!


I really want to thank all of you for taking time to come visit my blog and leaving me some blog love. I do appreciate it.

So I will update my blog again this weekend because I have some LO's I'd like to share with everyone.
