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!
These 3 lovely deer are only some of the deer that Grandpa Joe likes to feed up at their house in PA. They are his friends :) it was kind of amazing to see them so close up.
Used SC Copper Mountain kit.
Hope you all gave a fabulous new week!
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.
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!
The infamous teenage fish face selfie of the 2k's! I think this trend is totally silly but does make for some cute pictures! And my girls are definitely cute ;)
Used some gelatos for the bubbles and did a bubble & mist technique for the background. Had fun creating using these techniques.
Thanks for stopping by!!
My son Michael... Is an extraordinary kid. I am very proud of the young man he is becoming.
This photo was taken at his step Grandparents house up in Pennsylvania. Michael has always loved going up there to visit. He loves the outdoors. Some of my favorite memories of Michael are from our visits up there. He gets this whole other way about him. He is definitely in his element.
I wanted to keep the layout pretty simple to emphasize the photo. I just added a few embellishments & one patterned paper. I love this photo of him & very happy with how the layout turned out.
When I showed Michael the layout, he smiled & thanked me. This kid truly fills my heart.
XOXO,
This photo was found on Sophia's Instagram. With that hashtag!! Thanks for the title Fia! I love seeing the selfies my kids take. I get to see so many different faces and moods my kids are in. Instagram is the best invention EVA! LOL
Want to know a secret?? Those white stars were not intentional. That was my solution to some ink smudges :) pretty happy with the result. Love how mistakes can turn out to be a good thing!
Used Studio Calico's Copper Mountain kit. Which is one of my new faves!
Thanks so much for stopping by & I hope the upcoming weekend is fabulous for you!
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!
Hey everyone today I have a PL layout over on the COGC blog for their Everyday Life. documented series.
May was crazy busy for us! Let's see... We had Aly's prom, my birthday, Sophia's spring musical, Mothers day, a romantic bday weekend away, AND a complete bedroom redo! Needless to say I needed to use an insert. AND more so a glass of wine!
Left side, which I left mostly photos because nothing could compete with my daughters beautiful prom :)
Insert - front and back
Made a little pocket to hold her ticket and table place card
My Mother's Day was FAB & my kids spoiled me rotten
Notice the new Birthday shoes. They came in handy because my husband took me away for a weekend and I got spoiled rotten again
My daughters beautiful corsage which included a piece of her gorgeous dress
Home really is where the heart is
Thanks so very much for looking!
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!
