I have three children, eight, three and one. They keep me extremely busy, that I only get to craft at night. The big trouble maker is my one year old daughter - she loves throwing anything and everything into toilets (the other day she threw her toothbrush and brother's sippy cup in there!), she loves to hide (inside the cabinets, in the dark room, and loves to displace items from room to room. My middle one is toilet training, so I always have to be on my toes. He loves to pick a fight with the younger or the older sibling. My oldest, now on summer vacation, wants to spend every free moment with me - and loves to educate me on the most "interesting" topics, such as Pokemon and Power Rangers. However, I love them all, and they make my everyday special. And, I wanted to create a page to illustrate that.
Here, I used Cricut to cut out curly ribbons from Wild Card cartridge, monkeys from Paisley cartridge and I used various embossing Cuttlebug folders (houndstooth, candycane stripe, swiss dots and spots&dots) to emboss various sized circles. The word MONKEY is wooden scrabble chips from L'il Davis, Monkeyin' Around label is from Cosmo Cricket, the rub-ons are from Basic Grey cupcake series.I also used heat gun to create loops with a fibre string, and of course I adhered all these with pop-dots to create dimension to the page.
I think that my completed page captures the craziness of my household.
WOW! That is amazing! What beautiful kids aka monkey's!

ReplyDeleteI have been sitting at my desk w/ my jaw dropped ever since I read the comment you left on my page about the blog awards and then...I saw this layout! Jaw dropped even more!

WOW!!!!!!!!!! This is Fantastic. I love the design and all the elements. Thanks for playing with us a FD.
ReplyDeleteThis LO is fabulous! It caught my eye and I had to come see it close up! I love all the busy elements! My 3 Es have the same personalities. 1 year old is in charge of all chaos in the house(she throws everything away...last week we lost keys and the remote). 3 year old is in charge of all conflicts of interest (she does not play well with anyone). 5 yr old is too smart for her own good and wants to read me every book she can find and hold a discussion group on it too! Must be the birth order! Glad to have found your blog. You have beautifully, inspiring work!
