Bright, bright colors ahead....

Good morning! Hope is all well with you and you are having a  great week. I was playing with papers which I've had for a while but did not want to use because they are soooo pretty. Well, I did,  I cut them all up and this is what I made. The pocket has 6 tags all embellished and stamped. I keep a basket  under my desk with my FAVORITE papers... I call it "the untouchables". Am I a hoarder or a paper addict?

I think it is my first time ever I scrap the color purple, can you believe that?  I fell in love with these papers  and voila! here it is...

Frienship is a gift from God!

Today is back to the beach..... I used Teresa Collins papers for these layouts. I had a ton of pictures of my friend and me playing during a gorgeous sunset in Destin, Florida. I wanted to highlight the gift of friendship and these papers say it all. I love the picture of our feet on the lower right hand corner.

I made a sand angel and I could not get up!!!!! Our friend Vicky cut us in these candid moments.

Winter memories

Happy Tuesday! Here I am with more winter pages and I admit I get cold just looking at them! I used October Afternoon papers and embellishments, edge punches, and the cricut and cuttlebug (pine trees) for this one.

Valerie, Danny and Lexie were "practicing" sledding indoors. Steve's sister brought over a BIG pile of winter clothes, and of course, they had to try on these fuzzy hats. Remember we are all from the South!!!!!

The new fallen snow created  many beautiful winter scenes. I think my favorite one is the two oak leaves on the snow. It is as if they were saying to the snow  "thanks for not burying us"

Happy first Monday of 2011!

Happy Monday! Here we are with a brand new year right before our eyes.... so many plans, dreams and resolutions to be fulfilled, right? Well, mine is to be up to date with all my photos before my grand-baby gets here. You will see many two-page layouts with several pictures in them. I am running out of room for my albums so I am trying to scrap a little different.

I found this fabulous Nikki Sivils paper collection called Ellie's Day Out for these pictures. The colors are so feminine and pretty.

I used several papers and embellishments from  "Recollections Collection" for this layout.

Nativity Scene with Cricut Paper Doll Dress Up Cartridge

Hello! Today I am a guest designer at  http://shesasassylady.blogspot.com/. This two-page layout using  Paper Doll Dress Up Cricut Cartridge is what I made. It was a lot of work but a lot of fun to make.

This is the recipe:

8 people size 3" (angel, 3 wise men, Joseph,  Mary, 2 shepherds)
3 camels (2 are 3" and 1 is 31/2")
6 sheep  (1 is 31/2", 2 are 3", 2 are 21/2, 1 is 2")
2 donkeys (3")
Baby Jesus (3")
Barn is 7"
Palm Tree is 8"

Here are some close ups so you can see the details in each piece.

I used white puffy paint for my sheep, then heated it up to make it look like wool. 

 Here is a give away you do not want to miss! Purple Pumpkin is giving away some goodies! You can go here to check it out.

Have a blessed and wonderful Christmas Season!
