Triple Threat Blog Hop!

Image
Welcome to the DCWV / May Arts / Tombow Triple Threat Blog Hop! All this week, designers from these three great companies are sharing projects they created by teaming up some fun paper from DCWV’s Honey Chic stack, with a variety of adhesives from Tombow and some beautiful ribbon from May Arts. If you have come here from Rita's Blog then you're on track! If not, the hop list is at the very bottom of this post!  I decided to make a mini album that I've loved for a long time but was never sure what to make with it. It's a Maya Road chipboard mini in the shape of a beehive. So cute!  I thought it would be perfect for my baby girl's pictures once she arrives in September.    I'm anticipating not having as much crafting time as before so I thought I would get something ready ahead of time.    The patterned paper pieces are photo mats. Once she arrives, all I have to do is print the photos, glue them on, write some journaling in the cards

Love Mini with Midnight Berry

Image
My sister and her husband celebrated their 7 year anniversary in January....My husband did a photo shoot for them at the local botanical gardens. I love the pictures he got, so I printed them small and made a mini with my favorites.  Just a couple pages:    I used Midnight Berry. Love the purples and golds with the nature in the background and their neutral outfits.  Don't forget to stop by Friday for my blog hop post.  Here's a sneak peek:   

At the zoo

Does it count as your first trip to the zoo if you technically couldn't see anything yet?  I went with my students on a field trip, and was very glad every child had a parent or family member to accompany them because I got to take it slow. It was a hot day in June and I rested and snacked as much as possible which is not as easy to do if you have students without parents to chaperon.  I was 6 months pregnant at the time and it was a long, tiring day.  Technically it was my baby girl's first time at the zoo, but probably not officially since she didn't get to see anything LOL   I included the map as part of the page and it will be fun to see how much the zoo changes in the coming years.  Hope your weekend was great!  Don't forget to check out the DCWV / MayArts / Tombow blog hop starting tomorrow!

All about Jacob

For this month's DCWV challenge we get to play with this fun sketch:  It made me think of a pie chart and I was pretty torn about which subject to scrap...my dogs, my relationship with my husband or my friends, travel...until I saw this photo.  I just knew I had to scrap this guy. Each of our 3 dogs is very unique. This is Jacob:   The card sketch:    Hope you get some time to play with us :)
