Little Moments

Loved the MME Up and Away, Allison Kreft by Webster's Pages and Basic Grey Kneehighs and Bowties so much just decided to use it all together :)  Just some little moments of Sara and Emily during 2012 :)

Grace & Sara

For A Cherry On Top challenge to use transparent things - so washi, old Hambly transparency frames and clear bling layered over the washi.  Nice to use up some old stuff and lots of washi!  Found these silly-face pictures of Sara and her friend Grace on their laptop.  Taken during one of their sleepovers and there are tons of them for me to scrap :)  They work hard and play hard - it's the time of their lives!

Beautiful

I found a bunch of pictures the girls took of themselves on the laptop and was happy to scrap them for myself since they are off doing their own thing so much these days!  Got the cute Project Life cards at Michaels, used some very old stash and Silhouette to cut the title :)  

Fancy Pants Park Bench, Becky Fleck Sketch 38

This was a sketch at one of my favorite new scrapping sites - thought I'd give it a try.  These are leftover tiny photos from a free photo collage - they are tiny.  So made them each their own little fluffy frame area to sit in.  Used a new Prima stencil and gesso for some texture, some Color Shine mists - I think I'm not liking that anymore.  Fancy Pant's new collection, Park Bench.  Have a good rest of your week!

"Happy" - Even More Heidi Swapp/Cheer Tryouts

Picture of my daughter on the left with her bestie.  They had cheer tryouts this weekend and both my daughters and their best friends made varsity :)  Busy, happy weekend!  More Heidi Swapp Sugar Chic background paper, along with Color Magic paper with Mustard Color Shine. Used American Crafts POW glitter paper in quarterfoil pattern to cut out the glitter tag on the left and little accents.  Hope you have a great week!

"Remember" More Heidi Swapp Sugar Chic

Hello!  Another vacation layout with more Heidi Swapp Sugar Chic.  Used her background paper, then layered some other patterns from the collection with gesso to mute their pattern a bit and layered with a book page and parchment paper.  

Little glassine bag with sand and tiny shells, sealed with a gold embossed heart :)

Added a bit of gesso with a stencil, then gold embossed a bit over that...

Another shell from the trip, along with the wood veneer heart and arrows.

Thanks for stopping by and have a good weekend!

The Best Kind of Beautiful

Good morning!  I'm so in love with Heidi Swapp Sugar Chic stuff and bought just about one of everything when Michaels had it all in stock :)  I want to give a big thank you to Sara Mendoza, Rendis at Studio Calico, for the awesome RAK.  It was such a big envelope of stuff I've been using it on many layouts - thank you, Sara!  The biggest heart and cute arrow stamp came from her :) 

The second thing I wanted to mention was I could not get my hands on the HS Trimmings, the fringed border that you can apply the heat gun to it and it curls up. I was walking by Lori using the shredder at work the other day and looked in her huge box of shreds and it dawned on me. Grabbed a strip of tape, smushed it down into the shreds and viola! Crinkled trim to top the banner border :) I could have sprayed it with some of the Color Shine mists to change it's color, but I liked the white and already had lots of color going on - lol. Anyway, hope everyone has a good week!

Always Strong

Wants to say a huge thank you to Sara Mendoza, rendis at Studio Calico.  I had mentioned going to visit College Station with Sara, and she got a package of goodies together for me.  The envelope was FULL of the cutest, newest stuff and I can't thank her enough.  Picked up more Heidi Swapp Color Shine - that's what the confetti is.  Echo Park "Strong" label with embossing powder on the edges and held down with some new washi. A layout about Emily and how she powers through some injuries and keeps going :)   Enjoy your day!

Home

Love finding those ornate frames at Michael's in the dollar section - love them!  Grabbed some handmade silver paper and used a silver metal frame from year ago that I never could get rid of.  Dear Lizzy hey and "Home Is Where You Are" quote.  Picture of the house at night with Christmas snow and lights :)

Hello Kitty

Wow, I can't get that blue tint off of this picture!  But you get the idea...

Received cute Elle Studio labels and picked up some Smash labels, Heidi Swapp borders and just used it all on a layout - lol.  You pull out the glassine envelope and the journaling talks about how sweet Emily's friend Tyler was to buy her a Hello Kitty muffin maker way before her birthday and how excited Tyler was to give it to her :)  Happy Sunday, everyone.
