Things I love about today

Good morning and happy Friday! Well, here are two more layouts that I designed for Treasured Memories last time I was there. These papers are from Bo Bunny and so much fun to work with.

 

Look at my girl standing by the door welcoming her friends.

Have a wonderful, fun and blessed weekend!

Family

Good morning Thursday! Hope you are having a great week so far.  The weather has been totally LOCO, hasn't it?  Oh well, let's enjoy it no matter what, right?

I love to make vintage looking layouts. This is another one I designed for Treasured Memories last time I was there.

 

Thank you for stopping by! Have a fabulous and blessed day!

Hello Cupcake & More!

Good Morning!  Here is a layout I made recently with a cupcake theme.  It's made with reds and pinks with the green thrown in for good measure. This collection is from Kaisercraft.

 

This one uses the pinks and reds and is about a tea party.

And this last one called Princess uses pinks as well.  See how easily a Julie Nutting doll fits into the scene!

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope that you enjoyed these layouts which were designed for Treasured Memories in Lafayette, LA, and get some inspiration from them.  Have a wonderful and blessed day.

Manly layouts

Good morning!  Don't you find hard to scrap masculine layouts?  Well, there are two here today to inspire you to scrap those pictures.  I designed both of them for Treasured Memories. 

 

Sorry, but I snuck a few flowers into this next one!

 

Thanks for visiting the blog today.  Have a terrific and blessed day!

Happy Monday!

Good morning!  Hope you all had a lovely weekend.  Here are more layouts where Prima Julie Nutting stamp dolls are the focus.   I just can't stop playing with them!

 

Isn't she lovely?

Thank you for stopping by. Have a fabulous, loving and blessed Monday!

All Natural

Good morning!  Here is a layout I made for Treasured Memories the last time I was there.  The title is "All Natural"

 

And speaking of "natural", here's a picture of 2/3 of my grandchildren at the Florida Museum of Natural History.  This is Andrew's absolute favorite exhibit; it's a native American boy with shark slung over his shoulder. 

And here's a picture of the most recent 1/3 of my grandchildren who was born yesterday.  We call all three the MAC Pack; Madison, Andrew & Caroline.

Here's Madison with her cousin Caroline.

Well thanks for stopping by today.  Have a wonderful and blessed day!

 

Baby Girl Day!

Happy Wednesday!  Well, today is finally here and by the time you read this post baby Caroline Bea should be among us.  This is why I am sharing all baby girl layouts today!

 

This is a layout I designed for my friend's niece's baby shower. The  pockets on the right are blank cards for the guests to sign.

 

Please keep our family in your prayers today.  I am sure I will be posting pictures later this week.  Again, thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful and blessed day! 

Blessed Grandma

Good morning!  I love the title of this layout, because I truly am a blessed grandma.  Madison and Andrew are having so much fun spending time together this week.  Since each is an "only child", they are in the process of learning the meaning of the word "share".  Sometimes they look at us and I think in their mind they are telling us "are you kidding? why would I want to share what is MINE?".  Two 2-year-olds 24/7 is fun but a lot of work.  But, as I've already said ... I am a blessed grandma!

 

 

Hug your kids and grandkids and make sure they know how much you love them and appreciate them!  Have a wonderful and blessed day!

BFF

Happy Monday and a happy victory dance to all the Seahawks fans out there!  Since my son plays in Seattle, I had to root for them!

 

This is a very sweet layout I dedicated to special friends.  Nothing like being surrounded by lovely people with whom to share life with, right?

 

We celebrated Andrew's second birthday yesterday afternoon at a local indoor playground. He had so much fun going down the slides and jumping up and down!

He loved his cake!!!

My BIG  kids loved the ball pool as well!

Have a wonderful and blessed day!

Amazing Grace

Happy Friday!  Hope you've had a great week.  This is one of my very favorite titles of all times!  I had the letters specially made out of wood.  I live by these words, always remembering the price that Jesus paid for me and His amazing grace towards me.

 

My son Danny, his wife Lexie and baby Madison Rose arrive tomorrow for Andrew's birthday party on Sunday and for the birth of Andrew's sister Caroline Bea next Wednesday.  You can imagine the joy of my heart.  There's nothing like family all together!  Have a fabulous, safe, happy and blessed weekend!

Black and Red Together

Good morning!  Hope you are having a fabulous week so far.  These are more layouts I designed for Treasured Memories the last time I was there.  These collections are from Kaisercraft.  The colors are so rich and bold.  I love them!

 

Valerie is sooo ready to have her baby! Her tummy is sooo cute! The doctor told her she's going to be a tiny baby. Well, in less than a week we will be holding our princess, the Lord willing.

Please keep them both in your prayers. Thank you in advance! Have a wonderful and blessed day!

Fashionista

Good morning! Have you been following CHA? Well, it looks like we will be in trouble once again because the new products are amazing! Lots of embellishments made out of wood and metal, bright and happy colors, transparencies are back and of course Prima's stuff is just amazing! Here's a link of the new Julie Nutting's dolls:

 http://prima.typepad.com/prima/2014/01/presenting-the-julie-nutting-collection.html

I designed this layout for Treasured Memories in Lafayette, Louisiana last Fall. The picture does not give justice to the details of the embellishments and colors of the papers.

 

Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful and blessed Wednesday!

Happy Tuesday!

Good morning! Here are two layouts I designed for ESS last time I was there.  I love this first one! Do you see the miniature rolling pin on the left?

 

This is one of the new collections from Graphic 45.  These are some elegant ladies, aren't they?  I am glad I was not born in that era.  At my height (5'2") I would have look terrible in these dresses!  I added one of Julie Nutting's girls.  Can you find her?  (Where's Wanda?)

Scrapbooking is soooo much fun!  You can do anything you want, there's no right or wrong and if you layer, layer, layer enough, ALL of the colors match!  (How do you like my philosophy this morning?).

Enjoy your day, smile often and be blessed!

Baby Shower Time!

Happy Monday! Hope you had a lovely weekend. I got a chance to scrap a beautiful layout for baby Caroline Bea before she gets here.  My dear cousin Margarita who visited us from Venezuela last week made this paper doll for her.  She will not only be a great-aunt but also the Godmother!  She is so excited.

 

Here's a close up of some of the details of the layout and the dress of the doll.

 

 

We had a baby shower for Valerie on Saturday.  She is looking and feeling great!  These are some snapshots of her special day.

 

She was surrounded by much love, friendship and adorable presents!

You can see her excitement every time she got a pretty dress.  She told us she is ready for pink!  She's been dressing Andrew for two years and now it's time for bows, ruffles and lace.

Every guest went home with a goodie back filled with a sweet and pink body lotion.

 

A few more days to go and baby Caroline Bea will be with us......In the meantime, have a wonderful and blessed day!

 

Happy Friday!

Good morning!  Hope you've had a great week so far.  We went from freezing temperatures to high 60's in a week!  Crazy weather, right?   I made this layout for a special friend.  Love the Fleur de Lis papers from Webster Pages.

 

 

Have a wonderful and blessed weekend!

Dance Recital layout

Good morning! Do you have a dancer at home? This is a very cute layout perfect for those pictures! This is another layout I designed for Treasured Memories last fall.  Look at their tutus!

 

Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful and blessed day!

Birthday Girl

Good morning!  This is certainly the week for birthdays.  My cousin who is visiting from Venezuela had her birthday on the 4th, baby Andrew was yesterday and my loving husband is today.

 

Here is a layout dedicated to a birthday girl somewhere out there.

 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a wonderful and blessed day!

Happy Birthday Andrew!

Good morning! Can you believe baby Andrew turns two years old today already? It seems like he was born yesterday! He is sooo cute and filling our lives with much love, joy and many laughs. This picture was taken on Christmas day. His jammies were a "little" big for him.....

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDREW!!!

 

 

 

 Here's one more Christmas layout in blues. I used a 12 x 12 Blue Fern Chipboard piece which I painted with gesso and then acrylic paint. I love aqua!

 

Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful and blessed day!

Christmas Pages

Happy Monday!  Hope you had a lovely weekend.  Mine was great visiting with my friends in Alabama and spending time with my cousin who came to visit from Venezuela.  There's nothing like family and friends!

 

As I told you last week, there are a few more Christmas layouts I would like to share with you and here they are:

 

Have a wonderful and blessed day!

More Christmas layouts

Happy Friday! These are some of the last Christmas kits I designed this year. I've had sooo much fun making each one of them! I only have a few more to share and then off to another holiday.... Valentine's is only 6 weeks away, yeah!

 

Have a fabulous and blessed weekend! See you on Monday.

Christmas layouts

Good morning! It's hard to believe that a new year is already here!  And although Christmas was over a week ago, we're just now sorting through our prints.  Hopefully these three layouts will give you some inspiration on how to scrap those photos!

 

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a lovely and blessed day!.
