Clique Kits October Kit

Hey there.  It's been a little crazy around here.  I did want to show you a little peek at the October Clique Kits "Masquerade Ball" Kit.  I'll try to catch up on all of my sneaks for next week's Blog Hop, Project Life Layouts and such this weekend.  So here you go.  I can't wait to get started with projects and show the full reveal later this next week.

Happy Friday!

Project Life Week 26

Finally, I'm posting Week 26.  This was the week of my friend Jeff's memorial.  Everyone came from all over the country to celebrate his life.  Over 500 people attended the memorial.

I couldn't find the photos of this layout on my computer, and I was incredibly busy with a wedding I had to help photograph.  Inadvertently, I found the photos on a flash drive and didn't have to retake them.  I was pleased with that.  So here you go.  I used the June Clique Kits Kit for this week.

Entire layout:  I loved the handwriting stickers from the kit.

Below is the left side.

Right Side Below:  We actually had an earthquake in TorC.  

So there you have it!  Enjoy your Sunday.

Hunting Pictures

Here are just a few pictures of our hunting trip.  Unfortunately, we didn't get an elk.  Unless you're an elk...Then, it's fortunate.  Really, I'm just happy to spend time with the boys.  I am also glad to help them learn to appreciate our world.

Wild Thing (12x12 Layout and a Free Cut File)

Hello there everyone!  I hope you've had a fabulous week.  Today, I wanted to share with you a 12x12 layout I made.  When I saw the background paper, it instantly reminded me of the book, Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak.  It is one of my favorite childhood books of all time.  Strangely, my children don't actually like it that much.  To each his own, I guess.  Anyhow, here is the layout.

That is my "Wild Thing" JoJo.  He went through a stage of being a werewolf, and that was him making his werewolf sound when I snapped the photo.  I just changed the quote from the book...to mom not Max saying "Be Still"  I included the anchor as a little symbol from the book as Max sails off on his private boat.  To add some definition to the clouds, I rubbed some Distress Ink on them.  I also popped a few of them up of the page with paper rolled into a ball and stuck down with adhesive. At the time, I didn't think I had any foam stickers...I learned that I, in fact did, when last weekend we had a small hazmat situation on our hands in the laundry room.  I digress.  That's a story for another day.  Let's just say, there is nothing Mod Podge can't do.  I also wanted to share the .PNG files and the cut files with you for "Wild Thing"  They actually say Wild Things, but I cut the "S" off.  If you choose to use them, link them back to my blog.  I would love to see what you do with them.  Here is the .PNG.  Here is the Silhouette Cut File.

If you have any issues, let me know.  I've changed my downloads from Google Drive to Dropbox!  

Project Life Week 25

Hello there Everyone!!  Here is my Project Life Week 25 Layout. 

 Here is the whole spread.  For this week, I used my Clique Kits July Kit.  There are just a few of these July Kits left for sale at a discounted price so make sure you visit the Clique Kits Store if you wish to purchase it.

 Right Side:  Yes, that is Wolfie and Erik fixing the toilet.  The kids flushed a banana peel down the toilet.  Why?  I have no clue why my kids do half of the things they do.

Right Side:  That's our tarantula eating a cricket.

And a closeup of the journaling this week, not that there was a lot.  

There you have it.  Week 25!  Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

Exciting News!!!! I'm a Clique Kits Design Team Member (Bringing my A-Game)
