one of my first layouts ever. i started this layout knowing i wanted to do some "weaving" of those ribbons... i loved the color combination with the flowers behind the photo. i remember picking up the ribbons at target and the flowers might be making memories, but aside from that, i don't know what i used;) i am going to have to start recording this stuff;))))

this is my first all digital scrapbooking layout. i really like the idea of digital scrapbooking, but would probably add some "real" embellishments to add depth and dimension if i were to put this in one of my scrapbooks.
the kit used is called "sun porch" by designer amy teets. you can find that kit here for free.

i just finished this card/book for my johnny. i initially wanted it to be done for valentine's day, but after finding out we are expecting and dealing with the nausea that comes along with that, i didn't get to finish it in time for heart day. i did however get it done in time for our 1 year anniversary which is coming in three days. check out my flickr account for more pics of the book.

this is my first attempt at a knit animal. i found a pattern online for an octopus and realized later that it was for crochet. at the time, i didn't really know enough crochet so i knitted one (basically bastardizing the pattern). haha. his name is ottie and he is still waiting for 4 more legs.
oops;)
