Sweet Girl

Hi guys, I'm over on the Come on Get Crafty blog today sharing how I created this faux painted script title using water color pencils. You can check it here.... COGC Why Didn't I Think of That blog post

 

 

 

Thanks so very much for stopping by! And if you are in all this snow please stay safe and warm and hope you can scrap the snowy days away!

 

You Are So Very Loved

Sharing a layout made for Come On Get Crafty's Everyday. Life. Documented series. I used PL cards to make a traditional page. But as you can see, you can definitely use the embellished cards into your pocket page protectors.

It was very easy to add several photos by using the cards in a grid design. I added a vellum background I cut with my cameo. It helped to ground the photos and add visual interest.

I love these photos of Tony & I but if you look closely at our faces you can see that it was 90 something degrees and 100% humidity! Holy cow it was so darn hot! Although well worth it because the pictures we took in this location are some of my favorite of the day.

 

2014 Goals

Sharing a layout made for COGC favorite things series. I'm showcasing Websters Pages "New Year New Me" line. I loved the colors of this line & the sentiments inspired me to do a layout of my goals this year.

I don't like sharing my personal goals so I wrote them on a hidden tag. I used pop dots under my photo to leave room for the tag to slide in and out freely.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

 

Sisters...

Just a quick post today with a layout of my beautiful daughters. We were pumpkin picking at Casala Farms in NJ. So many photos oppurtunitys at this beautiful farm.

Used Basic Grey Persimmon. Loved how the paper I used at the corners matched my oldest daughters sweater. Love when things like that happen. It's the little things, right?

Also want to wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving! Eat tons, laugh a lot, enjoy your company & travel safe!

 

 

You Can Go Your Own Way (Process)

My beautiful daughter Alyssa. She has always been unique to herself. And one of the traits I admire the most about her is that she is not a follower. I was very proud of her in the younger teen years because of this.

 

 

Ok so I've tried my hand at a process video. If I decide to do another I will try to improve on this. I downloaded a simple video app & gave it a go.

It's very simple for now & set to music. Not sure you are all ready for my Brooklynese accent lol. Just kidding (sorta) but I'm not sure how to video live. The simple app I downloaded doesn't have many functions & I'm unsure what app to use. I also take forever to complete a layout, so I would need to speed it up.

I need to look into it, I am considering it for the future though... ;)

Would love to know what you all think. **I do know that next time I'll upload with a higher resolution.**

Thanks so much for looking & watching!

Autumn 1999

I love these pictures of Alyssa & Mikey. Here we spent the day at Dykers Fall Festival. Lots of good food & fun. Aren't they adorbs! ;)
Used WP new pattern paper Cornucopia. Loved the colors in this. I also used BG Persimmon even though the colors are slightly different.
I originally didn't have the vellum under the matted photo. Unfortunately I over misted my background at the very end. So instead of ripping my mistake up & having to redo everything I opted for my secret trick. I have used vellum quite a few times to hide a mistake. It subtle & covers things up just enough without adding any extra clutter.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekend :)

Without Change There Would Be No Butterflies

If you are a woman than you were a 13 year old girl, and you know how trying it can be at that age. I made this layout to let my daughter Sophia know how proud I am of her and the little changes she makes each day to better herself. Love you Fia xoxo

 

 

Hope you all are having a fantabulous weekend!
