MARKING TIME - Do It Digi Wednesday 2/27/08

Spring is only a few short weeks away. How are you passing the time until the magic day arrives? I know that a good Spring cleaning always helps make the time pass.
Create a LO using papers and elements showing time - clocks, numbers, watches, items lined up in a row, or a progression of photos showing the passage of time. Think about how you pass time, what you are waiting for, and how you make that time pass. You could focus on the weeks of a pregnancy or the days leading up to an important birthday or other celebration.

My daughter desperately wants a Maltese puppy, and has begged for one for the past three years. We have a cat that is 7 years old, and Olivia often forgets to feed or water the cat unless she is reminded. We keep telling her that when she grows older, becomes more mature, and accepts responsibility, we will grant her wish. Until then, she's waiting for her special little puppy. I created this LO to print out for her to remind her of her wish and maybe by looking at this sweet puppy's face, will encourage her to be more responsible with the pet we already have.

There are so many things we do each and every day to mark the passage of time . . . including our own craft of scrapbooking. I look forward to seeing what each of you does with your time! Remember to post your layouts in the SHAKIN' CHALLENGES GALLERY.

Our prompt for this week is: I AM.

Spring Fashions - Do-it Digi 2/20/2008

Looking out the window, I dread going outside - it's snowing and freezing - I can only hang onto the fact that spring is coming - (not soon enough)!

Now that I'm a mom I'm not much up on fashion (my body doesn't look so cute in much of it and I don't often buy stuff for me). Inspired by an ad I received in my inbox from Piperlime. They showed a rainbow of shoes. It made me think about my shoes in high school. I had a red pair, a green pair and a purple pair of flats. Don't you often wish you had taken pictures of some of the things you had when you were growing up? Reminisce about those things (if you still have some of them - pull them out and show us) or take pictures of some of your kid's favorite things right now.

Post your layout in The Shaker Box gallery and you just might win our Layout of the Week contest!

Dug into my favorites

Right now I am all about the glitter.  I love it on cards and on layouts.  The more bling the better!

I love the way Nancy used glitter in her recent layout.  Check it out here:
