I found the "Go Green" challenge for March over on Art with Heart.
Here is what I came up with.
So, the first thing I thought of was a frog for green. I checked out the cards I needed to work on for Card Lifters. After seeing this one below; which as for week 8. This card was found at http://www.leiphartonart.blogspot.com/. My son popped into my head. And it is totally something I wouldn't be surprised to find in his pockets!!!!
Scrapbooking SOS - is all about why I scrapbook. I scrap for me, my sanity and
for my creativity. Of course, my family benefits from it too.

August XOXO DT Page - Bucket Boy
I loved this sketch....I started out searching for a different set of photos I had in mind!
I found instead three pictures waiting to be scrapped of my busy little man! So, when I find what I did with the others I will have to lift the lift!
I ended up going with the two photos just like the sketch, since one was a little blurry! Had some fun papers added to the photos that reminded me of a old time gas attendant!
I titled the page "Bucket Boy" since at the time that was a daily event. My son would explore behind our house see what he can collect to pretend he is on some type of job using his new finds. My Brother-in-Law drives big rigs and there is a number tractor trailers, parts, supplies and etc. behind his house which is next door to us.
Added the old time gas pump sticker and arrow.

A Birthday Boy's Handmade Cards
Our family had a Swimming Birthday Party to attend a few weekends ago. My 7 year old daughter just got 2 boxes of stuff from one of Scrappy friend's purge and that made my daughter some excited! I will post her creations from her 2 day long personal crop she had later this week!
Here is the card she made for the Birthday Boy's swimming party and included a plane since the new movie is out:
She very proud after learning to write her own sentences while including scrapbooking items!

XOXO DT page for June
This month's page was a blessing in disguise...it got me to finally scrap some photos I had carried with me to two retreats.
I finally got the inspiration to scrap them using Joanne's page to lift.
It made me pulled out the heat gun and embossing powders! Something I haven't done in a while.
Lastly, it gave me the 1st page done for my son's 4th birthday photo shoot. There are a few more photos...so a 2nd page will be coming!
So here is the page that gave me the inspiration!
AND there is still time to play along over at XOXO Scrapbooking. Maybe you will get the chance to be our next guest designer!

Retreat: Getting caught up with the Kids.
My daughter's 1st Birthday Photo Shoot Pic
Layering Stickers into a cluster. Also used the leftovers from the scallop cut border with the sticker set. It is the pink placed on the lighter pink polka dot paper. Might add a few buttons to the centers. When I went to place this page in her album. I noticed the joining page had some.
A little strip left from that scallop border.
On to Baby Boy Pages
Baby Boy arrives- Using up those older supplies in my stash.
Using those old stickers by placing them on same color cardstock, circle punched, and layered with another color in this case it was the kraft cardstock. Title I used rub-ons.
Baby Boy getting weighed
Used a quote from those old vellum Quote Books/Stacks. This one happened to be in a spinal binding. So, I punched some kraft cardstock with notebook border punch. Using Sew Easy zig-zag pierced stitch lines and hand-stitched in light blue making my own embellishment.
Inked the edges of Cricut cut letters. "Here I Am!" fit so well with his little stretch pic. Funny 4 years later it is the same way he wakes up. A little stretch and "Morning" or "Come on the Sun's up"
Didn't know how to title this one. We were in recovery waiting for a room. So, I just used the vellum saying.
Using the same idea as before: sticker layered cardstock with some ribbon and a button/brad cluster.
Visitor's
Altered the saying for my title and staggered the tile cardstock letters to cover the vellum edge and adhere it the the page. Ric-rac on kraft cardstock hides the top edge of vellum and hides the glue so it stays on the page.
Added some ric-rac to the kraft cardstock to break up the patterns.
Baby Lo-Jack - We joked about this. When my daughter was born 2 1/2 years earlier we never saw one of these. Not sure how the term/title came out. Not sure if the term is universal. But in the USA when they started putting car alarm systems in one was called, LO-JACK. LO-JACK would track your car if stolen. So, in this case it was coined Baby Lo-Jack. Since the picture didn't fit the frame I added the jail bars using Cricut - CTMH Artbooking cartridge.
My 1st cut for the jail bars didn't fit like I wanted them so I found a way to used them and adhere my vellum saying down. Fits because the picture above is my daughter counting his toes.
A play on LO-JACK using a rub-on tricycle.
The full page:
Our 1st Anniversary - dressed up and heading to dinner. Used Webster's Pages Products and A LOT of Fussy Cutting. Placed the picture on top of a overlay/transparency. Positioned fussy cut flowers to cover the space that my photo wouldn't cover.
More Fussy Cutting & overlapped the frame sticker.
Edge distressed tickets and layered with lace.
Vellum journaling ticket and chipboard button layered.
The completed page.
Until next time!

The Cape Crusader left to save the city. The class picture found it's way to finally be scrapped.
Becky's Nickname since she was a Baby. When she was Student of the Week in Kindergarten. I had to write a letter about her to share with the class. The class enjoyed the story about her nickname.

Meanwhile Back at the Farm there's hay to be cut and dried.

Still on the farm. On to turning the hay.
Got to put my newest purchase to use. Close To My Heart Stitching Guide.
