It's time for Sunday Scrappin' again! I was reminded this morning that we've got one month of summer vacation done. Here that means halfway, wow! It goes too quickly. So far most of our summer activity has included the pool in the backyard, sunscreen and shade. Much of my time has been spent cleaning, decorating and preparing for baby's arrival. As usual I have plenty more on my lists and a couple projects in limbo - almost done but not quite. I'll share those next week.
Ta-da!:
And I think my collage is finally done. I moved the ballet slippers, not sure if I'll move them again. I still need eggs for the nest {painted that purple so it pops more than the yellow} but I'm really happy with it. I finally got to the butterfly project I was waiting to do using an empty frame I wasn't using in the living room, painted it and put a piece of cardboard with a textured pattern paper and butterfly printouts that I cut. I love how it turned out but can't take credit, totally copied the idea from something I saw on Etsy but mine is slightly different. One sleepless night I found a cute bird image, printed it & mounted on a 'quilted' background {cut squares of two papers and arranged like a patchwork quilt} and painted the empty frame. Lastly I added a little canvas I found at Hobby Lobby for $1.50 - score on the clearance shelf! You can click the first picture to enlarge & see it - it's orange with a bird cage and says "live laugh love", just ignore that the lettering is completely crooked.
This project isn't exactly scrap but reminds me of a scrappy layout. Before my grandparents visited {a couple weeks ago} I finally got another project finished. I've had these boards painted for a while, they would move from the table to my bed between meals and laundry time. One night Shawn hung them and the next day I arranged frames & stuff on them. The idea is to have pictures of all of our immediate family members in these frames, some as you can see are still empty and others need to be updated. I'm happy with how it looks {minus the crookedness of the black frame, it refuses to stay straight} and like the pop of color in our mostly neutral living room.
To-do:
- Hang project in waiting & hope it doesn't fall apart.
- Order photos to finish Lydia's album.
- Finish Lydia's album {though with delivery of pictures that may not happen until after the baby comes}
- Journal family pages
- Organize scrappy stuff
- Work on baby bedding - finish baby's quilt!
- One more decorative project for baby.
- Go shopping for still needed baby supplies....oops!
- Clean & organize house 10 times - that just seems to be the way around here nowadays lol.
- Have baby - sooner than later so I can sleep again and be rid of heartburn. :)

LOL, I love how "have baby" is on the to-do list ;-) I hope it's sooner than later for you too hon. I love the collage in the living room, that is one of my FAVORITE sayings I think :) and it is a nice color pop. The girls room is coming together so beautifully! I just love all the things you done and can't wait to see more! Great job this week :) Good luck with the rest of that list!
Oh my! That butterfly collage is amazing! You should post a pic of it and link it up to all the creative link parties. It looks so cool!
