Robots

Good morning and happy Friday!  Here's a new theme for me; robots.  I combined some robot punch-outs with gear paper and Tim Holtz chipboard gears.  It actually turned out to be a very popular kit!
 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog today.  Have a wonderful, safe and blessed weekend!

Fall into Autumn!

Good morning!  Here's another Fall layout that I made called "Fall into Autumn".  Lots of doilies, flowers and "string lace".  Also the sheet music behind in the orange glitter frames is actually the back side of the green and white dotted paper.
 

Thanks for visiting my blog today.  I hope you got some great inspiration.  Have a wonderful and blessed Wednesday!

Outdoor Activities

Good morning!  Welcome to another week.  I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend.  The weather was gorgeous here.  The kind of weather that makes you want to be outside without worrying suffering heat stroke or being eaten alive by mosquitos.

Here are three layouts that I made for your photos of your outdoor activities.   This first one is about fishing. 

This one is about hunting.

And this one is just about being out in the woods on a beautiful day.

He is a picture of my two oldest grandchildren  on a recent fishing expedition.  By this point they were done fishing and having fun throwing bread into the pond.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.  Here's to a wonderful and blessed week.

Vintage layouts

Good morning and happy Friday!  Well, I'm on my way to Dothan, Alabama today to scrap with a group of dear friends over the weekend.  I can hardly wait.
 
Here are a couple of vintage layouts I made recently.  I absolutely love using the brown lace.  It gives it that aged, but elegant look.
 


Well, I hope you got some inspiration from these two layouts.  Have a blessed and safe weekend and we'll see you on Monday!

Fall Layouts

Good morning! The temperatures are dropping and the days have been amazing lately.  We started taking the grandbabies for stroller rides again and they love it!  They were mesmerized looking at the leaves fall with the wind and Andrew told us that the trees were dancing!  Soooo cute!
 
 
Here are some Fall layouts I've made recently.  Love to work with these colors.
 


 
Have a fabulous and blessed day!

Love Always!

Good morning!  Here is a layout that I made recently for all of us who still believe in perpetual love!
 

And here is a picture of me with the man I walked down the aisle with nearly 37 years ago.  We were with our three grandchildren in St. Petersburg this past summer.
 
I don't write about him enough in this blog, but if anyone would have told me all those years ago that that I would still be as happy and in love as I am and that I would still miss him as much as I do when he's not with me, I would have said that they were crazy.
 
Here's to you "Mr. Bea"!

Here' s a layout I made recently using a ton of clocks in different textures, colors and sizes.  Black and white pictures will look amazing in this layout.
 
Have a wonderful and blessed day!

Shabby Chic

Good morning!  Here are three layouts that I made in the Shabby Chic style.  I really enjoyed working with the lace and the distressed papers and layering to make it look old, but elegant.
 


 
I hope that you found some inspiration in these layouts.  Thanks for visiting my blog today.  Have a wonderful and blessed day.

Bea Weekend at Treasured Memories

Good morning! As I told you yesterday, I will share some photos of last weekend at Treasured Memories. The first picture  is of me with Janet, the owner of TM. She is one of the sweetest, fun, creative  and most giving persons I have ever met.
 

Here is my son Danny who stopped by on Saturday.
 
Here are some of the ladies who had their picture taken with Danny.  (Lark, in the blue shirt, thought that Danny was "hot" but was disappointed that he was already spoken for.)

He brought souvenir gifts and door prizes for everyone.
 
Here he is signing some scrapbook pages ...
 

... which were made into a special layout.  This one has Danny and me with the staff of Treasured Memories.  It sold out quickly.
 

 Here are the five of us after it was over; Mr. Bea, me, Madison, Danny and Lexie.
 
Thanks for visiting my blog today.  Have a wonderful and blessed day!

I Love You to the Moon and Back!

Good morning!  Well, I'm back in Florida after a lovely weekend at Treasured Memories in Lafayette, Louisiana.  Pictures to follow latter this week.

Here is one of the layouts I made before I left.  I actually used my Silhouette for the title.  I'm going to start using it more.

Simply Lovely

Happy Friday!  Are you ready for the weekend?  I sure am!  I am actually at Treasured Memories in Lafayette, Louisiana today and tomorrow will be with 30 fabulous friends. Stay tuned to my FACEBOOK page for the new layouts/kits designed this weekend.

On this layout I used a Sizzix die to cut out the petals for the large daisies.  I love the bright colors all mixed together.
 

Have a fabulous, safe and blessed weekend!

Graduation

Happy Thursday!  Hope you are doing great and are enjoying the change of season.  You see pumpkins everywhere, fall festivals on weekends and the leaves changing already. Fall is soooo much fun!
 
Even though it's many months off, here's a layout related to graduation but not using the conventional colors black, red and white. I love how it turned out and hope you like it, too.

I Love Purple!

Good morning! Well, after seeing Carolina dressed in purple I think I love it now!!!! I took her outside for a minute and she was mesmerized with the grass. She touched it....
 
 
Touched it some more....
 

And of course, found the perfect leaf to eat!!!!

 
These pictures will look amazing in either one of these layouts. Once I print them out I will decide where they look best.  Maybe I'll use them both!



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

Visit to ESS

Good morning! As I mentioned yesterday, I spent last Saturday at Everything Scrapbook & Stamp in Lake worth, Florida.  After the class we got to crop until midnight.  I designed these layouts for the store and they were made into kits.  In case you would like to purchase any of them, please call them directly to place your order. Their phone number is (561) 432-5201.
 
 
 
 
 
These pictures never give justice to the details or the wonderful papers.  This is the new line from Graphic 45 called An Eerie Tale.  All of the mats and embellishments are popped.
 
 
We celebrated Donna's birthday with cookies and carrot cake.
 
 
Here are some of us at the end of the night.  Michelle, the owner of ESS, is finishing up a fabulous page for her mixed media journal.
 
 
A great time was had by all.  ESS has so many new and current items in stock that it's great fun to crop until we drop.
 
Have a wonderful and blessed day!

Say Cheese!

Good morning!  I hope that all of you had a great weekend.  I had a wonderful time in South Florida.  I spent Saturday at Everything Scrapbook & Stamps in Lake Worth and Sunday with my sister and niece in Ft. Lauderdale.  What a surprise it was to come home last night to temperatures below 60!

Most snapshots taken these days are digital taken with a cell phone.  Film and cameras have become a thing of the past, but they seem to be all over the place in the scrapbooking world.  This, of course, includes vintage cameras, film strips, movie reels, View-Master disks and so on.  Here is a layout that I made using some of those cameras.
 

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you enjoyed this layout.  Have a wonderful and blessed day!
