Let Love Win

These words couldn't ring any truer for Tony & I & the love we have for each other!

Always let love win! Xoxo

 

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!

Love You Bugsy

Hey everyone today I'm sharing a layout on the Come on Get Crafty blog using CP flea market. I so love this line!

This is our bunny Bugsy. He is the real King of this castle, lol. He is definitely a brat. But no matter how much of a brat he is we love him to pieces. That whole cuteness factor gets us every time.

 

 

 

 

Four Generations

Today I have a layout over on the Come on Get Crafty Blog for their weekly Product Showcase. Today I am showcasing Crate Papers close Knit collection. I used some very special photos for it including a heritage photo of my Nanny & Mama.

For my wedding last year my Aunt gave me a thumb drive with all these pictures of my Mother that I have never seen before. Including the one on the layout. It's of my Grandma (Nanny) & my Mother on her confirmation day. The other photo is of my wedding with my Sister & Daughters. So combine the 2 & you have Four Generations of women. I love this layout so much! I even used some of Mama's buttons from her button collection. I inherited it when she passed. It is one of my most prized possessions. Throughout my childhood I played and stared at these buttons all the time. There was just something about them.

See the buttons? I heart this!

My Mothers father made her that dress for her confirmation & I remember her telling me how much she loved it.

My Mom & Nanny played BINGO all the time so that BINGO die cut is perfect in the cluster by their photo. And see that alteration ticket by the photo of my Sister, Daughters and myself? Well that reminded me of all the dress decidsions and times spent in the 2 bridal salons I used.

I don't normally handwrite on my layouts, but I thought this layout deserved it. Will definitely treasure this layout!

So glad to share this today :)

 

So Very Proud Of You

I have a layout up on the Come on Get Crafty blog today. Sharing some of my favorite things. Which if you know my layouts includes CP Maggie Holmes & AC Dear Lizzy.

 

 

Happy Friday Peeps!

 

 

Christmas Pajamas

Every year before on Christmas Eve the kids each get one present. Christmas PJ's! They get so excited for them. It's become a favorite tradition. After that we put baby Jesus in the manger & sing Happy Birthday. That is a tradition I started as a toddler. So glad I was able to pass that one onto my kiddies. :)

Used some water colors to soften the background a bit. All the tid bits are from Basic Grey waterfall packs. Which by the way I'm obsessed with! I think I have every pack lol.

 

 

 

 

 

Aly & Mikey Snowstorm 1999

I adore these pictures of my two oldest. It was Mikey's first experience in the snow and Alys first time having a sibling to play with her in a snowstorms aftermath. I don't remember all the details but what stands out is how happy the 3 of us were. AND how fun it was!

I have 2 layouts for you. They will go in my album side by side with an insert for the extra photos. I tried to make a girl version and a boy version. So Aly's has pink and aqua. Mikey's has red and navy.

It's amazing to me because they started out like this....

Just 2 photos, 2 pattern papers & 2 embellishments. That's all that's need to spark a little creative inspiration!
