Happy Sunday!

Happy Sunday!  How is everyone doing??  I have been having a great time hanging out with my bff, Denise and her family.  They have been here all weekend staying with us and I have been loving it!!  The weekend has just rushed by so fast and I am sad to say they are going back home tomorrow. Boo!

Yesterday Denise and I were lucky and got to spend most of the day scrapping in my office.  I finished a layout and 3 cards!  2 are for DT projects and one of them didn't get photographed in good light yet.  So I will be showing one good photo and one not so good photo of one to you today. lol

I made an easel card using the awesome sketch from Sketch Saturday.  I colored a Lili of the Valley image that I got for free with a magazine I bought and added it to the front.  I used some papers from Basic Grey Kissing Booth.  Can I just say...Yum!  I inked up a heart shaped doily and added some ribbon from my stash.  The chipboard is from Crate Paper.  I like how it turned out all girlie and pretty.  I plan to also enter it in the With all my heart Challenge at Fussy and Fancy Friday challenge and the Flower challenge at Cute Card Thursday.  I am also entering it over at My Craft Spot in their Girlie Girl challenge.  I think this one qualifies, don't you?! lol  And how about some more...Dorcerela Creations - Valentines theme challenge  and Stamps R Us Anything Goes Challenge.  Here are a few more challenges:

Scrappers Delights paper crafts - Love

The Artistic Stamper - hearts

Lollipop Crafts Challenge - Anything goes

Today Denise and I had a "girls day out".  We went to a movie and saw Underworld Awakening.  We loved it. We are all about strong women kicking butt!!  lol   Then we went to Michaels and then to my LSS to look around and buy some fun stuff.  After buying goodies we went out to eat Mexican food.  And now we are back home and STUFFED!! lol  But it was worth it the misery. 

Now, Denise is back to scrapping and I am writing to you. 

Here is a photo of my son, Riley.  He went outside with me when I went out to go take photos of my projects.  He is holding up the layout that I made of him using a totally cool sketch from Colorful Creations that I haven't really taken a good photo of.  It was almost dark when I went out to take the photos and the yellow Glimmer Mist just looks muddy to me.  But he looks so cute in the photo I can't wait to share...

Isn't it cute!! (The photo of him I mean!! lol)  I am going to show you one of the photos I took of the layout.  I think it doesn't make the layout look very good...what do you think? 

I used papers from Echo Park -Style Essentials.  I pulled a ton of bling from my stash and spritzed the heck out of it with Sun Sisters - Glimmer Mist.  I hate that it buckles the paper.  Maybe if I had more patience and waited for it to dry it wouldn't do that but I don't and it does.
