Re-homing Hector

The story

We found this beautiful beastie walking down the sidewalk on our street, far from any water. So we scooped him up and gave him a ride out to Brushy Creek. We named him Hector and wished him a happy, healthy life before Matt turned toward the water and tossed him in. I was shocked that he didn’t just put Hector near the water and let him decide whether to go in, and I said so. Matt blanched when he realized that he had just assumed that Hector swam. We quickly researched what kind of turtle he was and were greatly relieved to learn that he was a red-eared slider. Thank goodness, they’re strong swimmers!

Product/technique notes

The patterned papers are from the Pebbles Lakeside 6×6 paper pad. I cut out the title on my Silhouette, and I hand stitched the zigzag stitch down the center.

The story

Isn’t this a darling picture of my brother and me? We are posing in our back yard after coming home from Sunday morning Mass in May 1974. Just so sweet.

Product/technique notes

The papers are from the Dear Lizzy Lovely Day collection. The tag is from We R Memory Keepers. And I created the string art heart with the help of my Silhouette to cut out the tiny stitching circles.

Sweet summer fun

Stuck?! Sketches March 15 2017

The story

Mom, Phil, and I loved driving out to the Patterson Fruit Farm in Chesterland, Ohio, to pick strawberries. We would head out early on a summer morning and pick way too many, then take them home and turn most of them into freezer jam to enjoy for the rest of the year. We also piled them on cereal and shortcake and anything else we could think of. It was such a sweet way to spend a summer day.

Product/technique notes

The background paper I used is from an old My Mind’s Eye collection called Good Day Sunshine. The rest of the patterns are from the Mulberry American Crafts 6×6 paper pad. The chipboard embellishments are from the same collection. I cut the title on my Silhouette Cameo.

The story

Our sweet little Lucy has the most amazing bright green eyes. When I snapped this March 2016 photo, I immediately knew I would scrap it.

We love you so, Lucy Lou.

Product/technique notes

All the patterned papers I used were from the Crate Paper Bloom collection. The title is a Silhouette cut file that I modified. The brads are by BasicGrey, the puffy hearts are by Pebbles, and the sequins are by Darice.

Stuck?! Sketches January 15 201

The story

I was barely three when my bro turned two, so I was obviously as excited as (or more than) he was about the blowing out of the candles! Today is Phil’s 49th birthday, so happy birthday, Philly. I love you to a trillion skies and wish I could be there to help you with the candles this year.

Product/technique notes

I used products from an older Jillibean Soup birthday collection called Spotted Owl Soup. I created the title and the calendar header with my Silhouette.
