Nuts About Sketches # 155

Hello everyone,

Its Monday so there is a new sketch on Nuts About Sketches.

The photos I used for this page were of my son having an EEG done. He was diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS) when he had just turned 3 yrs old. His symptoms were speech and other developmental delays. The results from the EEG showed that there was nothing unusual with his brain waves so that was very good news. We had Genetic testing done and he was found to have a micro-duplication on one chromosome. He is a lively little boy and his vocabulary has just exploded with all the therapy that he has been getting. He is doing really well and my family and I are very hopeful that he will start kindergarten with all the kids in his age group when its time.

 

 

What was used:
Cursive 101 (computer cut at 4.5 inches)
Seven wire thermostat wiring from my local hardware.
Recollection cardstock
Heidi Grace Chipboard and sticker letters

Go visit Nuts About Sketches and see all the beautiful layouts that were submitted for this sketch.

Happy Scrapping,
Judy

Summer In Finland Page

Hello everyone,

I would love to share with you this page of my daughter and her cousin covered in mud from the lake of my in-laws summer place in Finland. Its something that the generations of children do there. My children had so much fun spending time with them and getting better in Finnish. The best part was: my in-laws had them for a whole month, so my husband and I had some time off. It was hard to let them go but I knew they were in good hands and that they were safe.

So here is the page:

I created a pocket to store a news paper article my Father-in-law translated into English for me. The title of the article was 'So You Can Recognize The Symptoms of Budding Cottager-Madness.' The pull-out tag was a comment my sister-in-law made about the photo: "Leikit ne vaan pysyvat samoina suskupolvesta toiseen." This translates to: The games, they remain the same from generation to generation.

What was used:
DCWV Fun in the Sun Stack
American Crafts Thickers Lullaby
Cricut Cursive 101
Recollections Glitter Adhesive Shapes (butterflies)
Stardust Stickles

Happy Scrapping!

Computer Genius Birthday Card

Its my husband's birthday. He works with computers mostly writing programs, but don't call him a Computer Scientist, he will say 'I'm an Engineer'! Here is the card I made for him.

The Computer was cut with Cricut Cursive 101 cart at 3 inches. The greeting was just printed from Word (Courier Bold). I down loaded the Linux penguin online, printed it on photo paper and cut it out by hand. The background paper with the computers came with a British Magazine; Cardmaking & Papercraft; as a bonus. I bought that magazine just for this purpose!

Happy Scrapping!
