Last couple NSD creations

Hi there. Hope you all had a fantastic weekend. it was rainy, cold, and windy here in Michigan. yuk!!! i only left the house long enough to do a little scrappy shopping at A Cherry On Top's local warehouse sale on Saturday morning. it was a worthwhile trip.. got lots of little goodies cheap, but scored the best item of all... a new Silhouette SD for $50.. yes, $50..it works and all the items are with it. I know, I do NOT need another toy, but I've been on the fence since I sold my baby Cricut. I didn't know if I wanted an Expression or something different.. hanging out at the Studio Calico message boards got me all intrigued with this machine.. well, I took a gamble and hopefully it gets more use than my Cricut did. I have my mom's Cricut Create on loan so I still have that capability if I want. best of both worlds I guess...

Ok. on to my last two NSD layouts.

This is a picture of my dad back in I'd say the late 60's, maybe 70's. I miss him so... I only had twenty three short years with him... I made the picture into a polaroid with my software. This is Pink Paislee's Daily Junque paper and stamp.. I added some maya sheers, and K and Company little vintage ephemera.

and lastly, this is my brother. he was getting ready for a Shriner's event. I don't usually do many 4th of July layouts, but his shirt screamed using some themed paper.. and I stumbled upon this WeR paper at the LSS. I had fun with the theme, used some star punches too. Sketch was from Sassy Lil Sketches #48.


I sure hope the weather gets better. Spring has been really dreary here, lots of rain and little sun. at least it's not snowing.. gotta be thankful for that.. =)

Don't forget to stop by Scrapbookers Anonymous for this months challenge. The DT has some cards posted based on the challenge. Come play with us... =)

Toodles...
