Crazy Eights on the Sun Porch bed

Ooops - I just realized that I didn't get anything posted last week - that's not to say that I wasn't busy! I have a couple new layouts, and at least two more weeks of Project Life to update. Molly is home sick with a cold/bronchitis for the fifth day in a row :( However, she likes to hang out with me in my studio, especially when I'm playing with m QuicKutz dies. I actually bought her her own Cuttlebug kids machine - and it works pretty well. The only problem is, she has about ten dies, while I have about 100 times that - at least (uggg...did I just admit that???). Anyway, last week, I was working on scrapping some photos from last summer. I usually take around 500 while we're in Nova Scotia, but I find September to be such a crazy month, followed by Halloween, Christmas etc...that summer photos are my least scrapped pictures. I saw this image on the SC blog, and wanted to create something similar on a layout. I have a set of old nesting diamonds from when I was on the QK design team. At the time, I found it difficult to come up with clever ideas on how to use them. Of course now, 4 years later, I can barely put them down! So, while I was cutting endless diamonds last week, Molly found my stash of mini cookie cutter shapes and happily churned out bunnies, cupids and snowmen while I worked this, a layout of Rowan playing crazy eights with his cousins on the cottage bed....
