100%

So tonight I am thinking school layouts. My first grader Makaela brought home her first spelling test. I did't even know she had taken a spelling test last Friday but she passed it with flying colors... 100%. We also got word today that she won the coloring contest at our local Office Max. Yippy! Now I have some insiration for the layouts for the Thursday Night Therapy Classes (basics and intermediate scrapbooking) for next week.

I am off to sleep now. Thought I broke my hand today (I was attacked by the killer vacuum) and typing is not helping it to feel better. I think ice and sleep are required.

Miracle - Jumping Frog

I just completed my layout titled "Miracle" which includes the latest and greatest version of my jumping frog. I am so pleased with how this layout worked out. Notice the patterned paper used for the title circle next to my jumping frog... it says Miracle. This layout was created for my nephew who truly is a little miracle from God. He went through so much the first few weeks of life and even after a blood transfusion things were touch and go for a while. This one is for you Jonny!!!
If you would like to know how to make this jumping frog and the accompanying layout please consider signing up for the Intermediate Level Scrapbooking class I teach on Thursday nights which has been affectionatley named "Thursday Night Therapy" by my students. For more information on my Intermediate or Basics Classes please contact me today. If you are not available Thursday evenings or live out of town the directions for this layout can be purchased seperately. My contact information for either is below:

Jumping Frog - Preliminary Photo

I began work on my jumping frog page tonight. With a few twists on a moveable frog made from punches that I have seen made by several talented scrappers/stampers I am happy with what I came up with. The photo is  a close-up of the first attempt at making my froggy. The layout and some of the mechanics are still a work in progress... plus I have to get the froggy paper I need!
I hope you enjoy. If you try one of your own please e-mail me a picture to share with everyone.

Jumping Frogs in My Head

Today was a long day of grocery shopping and running errands and I am looking forward to some creative time tonight after the kiddos are snuggled up in bed. I have been working on the idea in my head all day about how to make the "jumping frog" scrapbook layout that I want to make. I think I've got it figured out so we shall see how it translates onto paper. I can't wait to try it because I think it will be super cute. I will see if I can figure out how to upload it as a photo on here... that may take me longer than making the layout! I can't play too late tonight because we need to be to church early tomorrow to set-up and I am volunteering in the nursery. I hope everyone has had a fabulous weekend so far...
