I'm a Ruby Club Member

     As you know, I love to do all of the Mid-Week Mojo sketches that www.scrapbooksteals.com challenges us with each Wednesday.  After ten weeks of sketches, we enter into a new "club".  The last ten sketches entered me into the "Ruby Club"!  Although the photo quality is better in some more than others and the quality of the pages vary, here they are....

MWM#21: Santa

 MWM#22: 100% Princess

  MWM#23: Downtown Disney

  MWM#24: One Minute Till Midnight

  MWM#25: Start here to make sweet memories

  MWM#26: Love

  MWM#27: Bee Mine

  MWM#Christmas Time

  MWM#29: (Flower Girl)

  MWM#30: Fresh from the hands of God
I am looking forward to the next set of ten.  I can't believe that I have finished thirty layouts that are organized in one place!  I have created many more too.  Gosh, I love this hobby!

Baby Girls

     I am very excited to say that I have been blessed with becoming an auntie again!  This time, to two sweet little babies born to my baby sister and her husband.  They are not even a week old yet but already hold such a special place in my heart.  They are tiny but doing well.  They will continue to grow and thrive and hopefully be home in the arms of their mommy & daddy soon!
     It goes without saying that I needed to scrap their sweet little selves.  I absolutely love little baby bits.  Those tiny fingers and toes, the ears, the cheeks...*sigh*...so much to love about newborn babies.  Especially when they are so teeny tiny like these little angels are.  Here they are---

And this was the sketch I worked from---
     The sketch is one from www.scrapbooksteals.com and it is the 30th sketch that I have completed through them!  I always look forward to Wednesdays when Kristy gives us the sketch for the week.  I used Basic Grey "Olivia & Oliver" for the background matting around the pictures and the kraft cardstock is My Mind's Eye.  The upper right hand corner is for the babies birth stats (time, date, etc.) I had fun distressing the edges using my Tim Holtz distressing tool.  I love that thing!  Though, I really would love to try the new d-stress tool from Imaginisce someday!  That tool looks like so much fun and it looks super easy to use.  
     Have a wonderful weekend!  I will be posting more soon so check back again!  I see that the followers number is on the rise as well!  Yay!  I love to see that!  Thanks for stopping by!
