<br />
Not sure if anyone will be reading this post as I have not posted on my blog since October! Bad Amy!! <br />
<br />
Life was..and is..quite chaotic. It seems to be a never ending battle to keep up with things and my blogging slipped. Ooops. Sometimes other things in life take priority, right?<br />
<br />
So...here are a few layouts that I have recently created. I followed the same sketch that I drew up for four of them. Was interesting to see how the were the same and different at the same time. If you want the sketch, let me know or simply lift! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-484dztdPArA/Tywo_aSl4YI/AAAAAAAABTk/fzdY7btF_LU/s1600/P1020839_edited.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-484dztdPArA/Tywo_aSl4YI/AAAAAAAABTk/fzdY7btF_LU/s320/P1020839_edited.JPG" width="318" /></a></div><br />

I just love the Cosmo Cricket papers, chipboard, and bling! I then Glimmer Misted the background with my beloved Tattered Angels paints. Pink Paislee and American Crafts created my title. Had to include a couple peacock feathers too! <br />
<br />
Hope you have a great day!<br />

I finally broke out some Webster's Pages and created a tribute of sorts to my late Meiko. <br />
<br />

Not to be left out, I had to scrap Oliver as well. He was quite helpful in posing for the picture. <br />
<br />

Original, I know..<br />
<br />
Have a great day!<br />

Coffee and Cheshire Cats!! :)<br />
I have a small collection of Cheshire Cat mugs and had to document them.<br />

NO cardstock.<br />
Fabric.<br />
and Ephemera.<br />
<br />
Ok...I can do this! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iV9amcT3wEM/Tiha_Uy_SWI/AAAAAAAABNM/_yDUO976dN8/s1600/P1020206_edited.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="371" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iV9amcT3wEM/Tiha_Uy_SWI/AAAAAAAABNM/_yDUO976dN8/s400/P1020206_edited.JPG" width="400" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I used Basic Grey, Crate Paper, and Graphic 45 for my papers. My flowers were created with Basic Grey and Ranger Crackle Accents. The tattered rose and trim are from crepe-back satin (the same I used for the flower I made on my dress!) There's an American Crafts Rosette in there as well. Title is a Studio Calico font. All the buttons are vintage and from my Nan and Nanna's sewing cabinet I inherited. Tickets are recycled from a raffle I went to! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This was a fun challenge to be a part of! Can't wait for another challenge to crop up!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div>Stay cool!<br />

It's a fun game and what you do is to use the layout of the person before you as inspiration. Also a twist was added...a challenge created by the person ahead of you! Some of the challenges that are occurring are doozies!! <br />

She reminds me of myself when I was her age. Totally in love with my Softy and he was happy enough..or was that dumb enough..to put up with my antics. Cleo, Elizabeth's cat, is much more intelligent that my Softy was. She's quick, cunning, but a devoted Mommy Cat to her kitten, Elizabeth. <br />

I love my "job" and we are introducing a new series of Paper-Ed classes right now! They are GREAT! <br />
<br />
My first Paper-ed class is called "Texture WOW!" and will be on Wednesday, July 6th from 6:30 to 8:30 at the Brookfield, CT Michael's. Here's the class example that I created! I love it! :)<br />

Such FUN!<br />
<br />
If you are local to me, I'd love to have you in class! If you're not, check out your local store for further details. :)<br />
<br />
All my best,<br />

<br />
This afternoon I was asked to be a Guest Blogger for <a href="http://blog.makingmemories.com/">Making Memories</a>! Having free reign to create with <a href="http://blog.makingmemories.com/">Making Memories</a> products, I just knew I had to make something with my Slice. Here is the card that I created:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XF9rGBb9ZMQ/Te-7Xlr9XWI/AAAAAAAABI4/lvbDp_lY0L0/s1600/MMCardFront.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="230" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XF9rGBb9ZMQ/Te-7Xlr9XWI/AAAAAAAABI4/lvbDp_lY0L0/s320/MMCardFront.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
I have some simple directions on the <a href="http://blog.makingmemories.com/">Making Memories Blog</a> as to how to make you own Vintage Daisy. You can check that out<a href="http://blog.makingmemories.com/2011/06/guest-designer-amy-bender-.html"> here</a>! <br />
