I can NOT believe that my first little baby (ok, he was never really little) is 8 years old today!!! All the actual baby pics were pre-digital camera, I have a couple that I really NEED to scan… But here's a couple of older digital layouts featuring my chunky-monkey (don't you just want to squeeze those cheeks!!), and then a pic from just a couple weekends ago…
So, this past week I was typing up my descriptions for next month's Zutter projects… I work on them throughout the month, and then take pictures and set them aside until it's time to upload them… Something else to note… I LOVE all the new Cosmo Cricket lines… I own all of them, and keep looking at them 'cause they are so pretty!! OK… Back to the story… As I'm typing up my descriptions, I realized that I used the SAME COSMO CRICKET LINE for all 3 projects!!! OMGosh, I guess I really do LOVE those papers!!! How unbelievably cool is the EverAfter line?? Here's how cool :) Here's a peek at the projects that will be featured on the Zutter site for July…
This one was my July Zutter Club project (a class that I teach at the LSS), the papers are so flexible, they can be used for so many little projects! This one uses an acrylic cover, and 4×4 plain white coasters as the base, and the pretty, pretty papers…
Then there is this little house mini-book… Inside I used random pics of the kids from this spring…
Then there's one of my favorite projects… Just a home decor item, but I love how it came out…
Oh… Right, then there was the layout kit I made for the store, also using Cosmo Cricket :)
You will see lots more detail shots (inside the albums) on the Zutter site in July… But I was laughing so hard when I realized that throughout the month, I was consistantly picking up the same papers!!! I DO love Cosmo Cricket… ***pssst… Cosmo Cricket… Are you listening :) I LOVE all your beautiful papers!!! I'm currently working on a little fishy shaped book using the snorkel line, but the papers are so cute I don't want to cut them!! Maybe I'll just get a couple more of them next time I'm at the LSS, then I can cut away :)

This summer we're planning to be home, and see lots of things around here (hence last weekend's venture into Boston). Well, this weened, right here in town, there was a Revolutionary War Re-Enactment!! It's the town's 275th anniversary this year, and it was part of the festivities :) Here's just a couple pics… I have a ton more (ummm… I took 230+ photos…) I'll try to post a few more later :)
