friday

And I'm back . . .


I promised to share my layout that I was working on earlier this week - I played with the Noel Mignon Cabin Fever kit & this is what I came up with . . .





I could just eat this kid up!!!  I mentioned yesterday I was struggling with the title, I did snag a few alphas that were in my stash & decided to mix up a bit of Studio Calico Fab Rips & some patterned paper to create a circle, then added my alphas . . .





I vowed to work on journaling this year, as typically I just have a hard time putting things into words.  The truth is I hand wrote it underneath those tags & made such a mess of the page I had to do some quick, creative thinking to fix, hence the tags :)  The tags looked so plain just kraft so I broke out my stamps people!!!  I used a Jillibean Soup stamp from the Sweet & Sour/Unity collection and used a Ranger Watermark Resist ink pad and stamped away.  I love how the watermark resist ink gives this tone on tone look - definitely worth trying if you haven't already :)  Oh also - the number strip - stamped!!!  Another from the Jillibean Soup Sweet & Sour/Unity collection :)




Tonight I am thinking about this little one.  





I am not one to share tons about my "furry" children but I love them dearly (all 3) & they mean the world to me - even though they are often the troublemakers of the house :)  Today Bitsy was diagnosed with diabetes.  We became concerned when she started drinking excessive amounts of water & was having accidents all of the place.  I thought maybe is was just a UTI, but turns out this little bug was way sicker than that :(  So beginning next week, she will be on insulin twice a day.  I am going into the vet's to learn how to administer the shots - little nervous about that . . . anyone have a pet with diabetes???  I'd be interesting in chatting with you, shoot me an email at dailyscrap@gmail.com
