Nicholas has been chatting up a storm and there are some words and phrases he says that are just so sweet. I may be biased but I think he has the sweetest voice ever. So to make sure I remember these things I made this layout based on a Pagemaps sketch using mostly BG Offbeat with some American Crafts thickers.
I have been having so much fun scrapping with the May Color Me Daisy Happiness kit. I have been using it up finishing my Layout of the Day challenges. I have made 10 layouts, 3 cards and 2 gift bags from this kit, and I still have stuff left for a banner and card or two. Here are a few layouts I did with this kit in the past 2 weeks:
I hunted around tonight for the pictures for Mara's challenge today over at the Be Happy Online Crop at Color Me Daisy. I knew which pictures I wanted, but I couldn't find one of them. I ended up cropping a 5x7 down to fit in with the other 2 pictures. So here is my LOAD - Grandmothers. I used some Basic Grey Urban Prairie papers and buttons I have been dying to use.
I have been busy lately. Working a lot, busy with Color Me Daisy, keeping up with the boys and all that fun stuff. I have been doing LOAD (Layout a Day) with Lain Ehmann over at Scraphappy. Basically you do a layout everyday in the month of May. I have kept up so far, so as of tonight I have 12 layouts done in May. It has forced me to be focused and not get too caught up in a layout. It's great to spend an hour or so each night doing something just for me. So here are a few of the layouts I have done over the past couple of weeks. Most of them are using May Color Me Daisy kits:
Our 'Lil Piggy - Happiness May Main Kit and Websters Pages Alpha Add On
Be Still My Heart - Pink Paislee Captivating Mini Kit using Got Sketch sketch #82
She's So Tweet - Happiness Main Kit and Webster's Pages Alpha Add On
Say Cheese - May Pink Paislee Fetching Mini Kit
"Hat" - My new favorite line from Basic Grey is now out Lime Rickey. I just got a nice big box of happy mail yesterday with a whole bunch of this line. I think it is going to be great for boy, summer, park and kid pages. I love these birds, they are so stinkin' cute.
Nicholas won't wear hats, but after a walk one day he took Mike's hat from him and started putting it on his head and shouting "hat". I bought him a new hat today and he seems to like it. So hopefully we can get him to wear one outside now, since it is getting hot again.
I have been having so much fun with the Color Me Daisy kits this month. Since I am doing the LOAD (Layout of the Day) challenge in May I have been scrapping at least a page a day since Friday. I have been keeping them simple, and loving having all these kits to work with. I finally broke out the Captivating kit tonight and made this LO from Easter with my Mom and Nicholas.
I have lots more to share just need a few more minutes to do it.

Wow it has been a busy couple of weeks. And this old blog here is in need of a remodel. I will get to catching up this weekend. Tonight, I must unpack scrappy goodness all in the boxes delivered yesterday and today for upcoming Color Me Daisy kits! Lots to share soon on my thoughts on CKC Mesa and the projects I am finishing up from the 7 classes I took.
I also am super excited about what we have in store for May at Color Me Daisy.
I came across a sketch last week at Becky Fleck's Pagemaps Blog. I loved the sketch and I immediately thought of the die cut Lily Bee Frame from the April Color Me Daisy kit. The sketch was perfect for what I wanted to do and the whole thing came together so quickly. The sketch was part of a MME contest with the theme "What's on My Mind". So I used the title "I'm Thinking" to note a few things that are on my mind about Nicholas lately. If I did this in a few weeks I might have had a few MME papers from CMD's May's kit to work with. Oops, was that just a hint! ;)
