This is the last layout that I have done for my brother in law and his “hunting” expedition.

I had fun working on this one.  I used a ton of eyelets to make it look like buck shot on the page.   I picked the title “The Buck Stops Here” because this layout I believe is going in his office and he is an Accountant.  Funny isn’t it.

Today has been a great day to catch up on some layouts and it’s time to start adding photos to the layouts I have stacked up without photos.  I usually like to work with a photo before doing a layout but with having to do samples for the studio I quite often have layouts without pictures picked out for them.

I’m also ready to start loading up and completing a couple of my Share and Tell albums.  I don’t scrapbook chronologically – I do what I feel like at the moment so I am all over the map but I believe I pretty well have completed the first couple of years of Jeff’s life – he is only going to be 25 this year but as they say – better late than never.

As I heard about the passing of Whitney Houston today I was so sad to hear the news of someone that was at the top of her game and allowed herself to be destroyed by her own demons.  Never take advantage or for granted what we have today because it can all be gone in one fast swoop.

Love life,  love your family and take care of yourself

So I’m not in to hunting and I am a big animal lover.  I’m not vegan but I can’t allow myself to think about where my meat comes from when I’m eating.  Having said that….my brother in law (Mr. Muscle) was very pleased when he and my sister spent a week deer hunting in Goderich.

Mr. Muscle has been very generous with his time and worked our big crop last February and the current crop in January.  He is also picking up the scrapbooking lingo and he is a part of Younique as much as the rest of us.  So I was excited for him (I guess LOL) when he got his deer and I got the pictures to scrapbook for him.

It’s always nice to scrapbook layouts when they are appreciated and I know Mr. Muscle has patiently been waiting to see these.  So here they are

I was really pleased with the whole layout and it had that “manly” feel to it which is ultimately what I wanted.

This one also had the “feel” I wanted to achieve and liked adding the burlap to it. But the best part was the little verse I added on a tag

 I know he will like this.

I’ll add some more tomorrow.  I’m having issues with the size of my posts and am losing alot of my content if I make it too big so I’m going to cut it off here.

Valentines Day is approaching and all the mushy quotes that go with it.  Mr. Clean and I have been married for 32 years (33 in June) and we have never been mushy.  We look for the corniest joking things to say to each other because that is just the way we are.  Doesn’t mean we don’t love each other any less in fact….oh oh here it comes “I love him more today than yesterday but not quite as much as tomorrow” ….had to let it out.

I have already completed his card and so Mr. Clean you can’t look any further than this.  The House Mouse Challenge blog

http://housemouse-challenge.blogspot.com for this weeks challenge is looking for cards created with Hearts – more than one and so this is my rendition.

I am enjoying the new Basic Grey Kissing Booth line of paper.  After completing the Page of the Month for February I have lots left to play with so I have a couple of cards I’m going to create.
