You are So Special - My Minds Eye

Good morning everyone!  How is your week going?  Mine seems to be a bit hectic....Brighton turned 19 yesterday.  Eeek!!!!  Where did the time go?  And how can I be old enough to have a 19 year old son?

Anyway, today I wanted to share with you a layout I made using some older My Minds Eye papers.  I think that the box containing them must be the closest to me when I sit down to scrap because I keep grabbing them.  lol

Love these photos of my girls...and am pretty happyt with the layout, that I swear is straight IRL...I think it is because I took the photo with is standing on end.  Definitely need to invest in a flower frog.  lol

Anyway, bits of Prima and some mists highlight these photos of my girls.  Love how close they are...oh, and see those stips of bling...you will never guess how old they are.  The are from Glitz Designs and I would guess it is around 8 years old.  lol....Use it or lose it.

Well, hope you have a great day.

Hugs.

Cashmere Dame Cards - Your Memories Here

Hi everyone, Today I want to share with you a few cards I made as a gift set for one of our swim coaches. She is getting married at the end of the month and although the team went in on a gift for her, I couldn't resist making a little something special just from our family   I love the little 6x6 pads from Glitz Designs and chose a  little mix and match with a few Prima Wood Icons and bits of lace to create these quick and simple cards. The tags were made with a stamp set from Papertrey Ink.

She really loved the cards and I know the recipients will as well.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs.

Let the Eat Cake

Hi everyone!  Today I wanted to share with you a layout I made using a sketch from Heather.  I have been trying to make more multi photo layouts...at least sometimes.

OK, well....here is the sketch.

And my take

I used some older Glitz papers, a few Prima letters and lots of flowers and trims from the Hydrangea Hippo Etsy store.

These are our desserts from Thanksgiving.  We had only a small celebration this year.  The five of us, my sister and niece.  So of course we needed a lot of desserts....Apple pie, gingerbread cupcakes, blondies, and a crumble.  Needless to say, no one went hungry.

Anyway...I think I am gaining weight just looking at them.  So I better get busy.  Hope you are having a great day.

Hugs.

A Little Gift - Your Memories Here

Hi everyone!  Today I had just a quick little project that I wanted to share with you.  I love all the opportunities purchasing a grab bag from Your Memories Here offers.  With just a few of the items from my box, some cardstock, and a scrap from last weeks project made with Glitz papers I was quickly able to come up with this.

Bits of gorgeous Prima lace, a few flowers, and just a bit of distressing make this the sweetest shabby chic post-it holder.  I love having pretty little things in my work space.

Well, that is it for me today....busy, busy.

Hugs.

April 28th - Reveal Day

Hi everyone!  Today is the 28th and that means reveal day at Sassy Lil' Sketches.  As usual, Cheri provided us with a beautiful sketch.

I decided to change the banner into a lovely floral border, Can't seem to get enough fussy cutting lately.

My two lovelies as Carolers in the 2009 Nutcracker.   Went pretty inky, dirty, grungy with this.  These Glitz papers were so lovely and I just couldn't help distressing them a bit.  hee hee.  I threw in some Pink Paislee Alphas and some Crate paper buttons, as well as some Webster's Pages trims.  Really happy with how this turned out....well, other than my handwriting of course.  lol

I can't wait to see your take on this sketch.  So be sure to check out the Sassy Lil Sketches blog for all the deets and more designers takes on the sketch.

My Take

My good friend Heather did a sketch a few weeks ago for Ideas for Scrapbookers.  I promised her I would try it out, and I finally got the chance!  I decided to make it for the Ideas for Scrapbookers designer challenge as well.  hee hee...Love killing two birds with one stone, and since it was such a great sketch.....

Glitz Papers, Prima flowers, bling, and leaves, My Minds Eye alphabet, Tim Holtz Distress Inks.

My sweet Mackenzie on Thanksgiving...I promise, it isn't crooked in real life, I was just having a hard time with getting the photo straight.  Lots of girly pink goodness here.  I am fairly confident that Heather did not have this in mind when she did the sketch.  hee hee.

Well, thanks for dropping by, and have a great holiday.  I think I am going to take a few days off and spend some time holidaying with the fam.

Hugs.
