Alleycat & Pixie - my namesakes

Wanted to share with you how I chose my name - AlleycatPixie.  Two of my 5 grand daughters, Allison and Jordan, had cute nicknames...Alleycat and Pixie.  I just put them togehter and voila!  AlleycatPixie was created.  Now, some pics of my namesakes: 

Alleycat

Pixie

AND...the newest addition- Morgan - with her proud father, Richard (my next-to-the-oldest son - 26 yo)

I believe her nickname is going to be....MO MO :)

Amd here is a pic of Richard's wife Jo Jo (Joanna)  She really got into the Halloween spirit this year!  She dyed her naturally auburn hair BLACK!!! And Richard appears to be a cross between The Joker and The Crow...

Kaylyn's Album

My oldest dgd (7 yo)on Halloween - Kaylie Bear (nickname) and some pages fo the 6x6 album I am making for her:

365 Cards - Challenge 265

This is for 365Cards challenge 265 - Simply Put. (My friend, Janice, turned me on to this challenge site - although she doesn't realize it). It's very simple card using 1 patterned paper, 1 embellishment and 1 sentiment. ..no more, no less :)  Anyway, I don't really do simple as I like lots of detail, but here it is:
I used a Spellbinders scalloped oval die to cut out the pp.

I made this 6x6 recipe card for Peachy Keen's challenge...using my favorite face stamps.  Die cuts are all Sizzix dies - Snowman, Circles (used two smallest for the little snowmen), Bowl (cut out of clear plastic), Tree. The faces are PKS PK-520 - Snow Faces The trees and sky are green and blue glitter cs.  I used irridescent glitter on the little guys' cheeks, the top hat and edge of bowl.
I added the glitter for Jacque's challenge at ICS.

Jordan's Album

I have completed and mailed out all swaps I am in and so now can concentrate on the albums for my grandbabies - 5 of them!!!  The first one I'm working on is Pixie's (also part of my name).  I've used assorted pp and cs from my stash and scrap piles, stamped images, punches, chipbord, and stickers I'd collected over the years :)   Got a few pages to finish up...like ones for her 4 yo and 4 month old sisters, her parents (my ds and dil), first fishing trip, etc.  I'll probably do a separate album for holidays.  I make each a mini album each school year.

Here are the pages I have for Pixie so far:

This is my rendition of the card sketch on stamping411.  It's a great sketch and I am working on more.

CD photo hanger - 2nd one

I've nade a couple more altered CD photo hangers.  As they are both the same, I only have to post pics of one of them :).  I used assorted scrap pieces of patterned paper I had in my scrap stash, assorted beads, paper clips and images from a clear stamp set by Chatter Box called "Fabulous".  Used SU c;assic stamp pads: Chocolate Chip, Soft Sky, Pretty in Pink and Real Red.  I used bent paper clips as connectors and glued the beads onto the ends.
