Sweet Love.....

Have you been over to visit The Moments yet? It is a great new scrapbooking community! Every Friday night Pat and the girls host a "Friday Fast Trak Sketch". Here is last nights sketch.

And here is my take on on it. I still let those cutie tootie banners intimidate me. The title "sweet love" is in the banner. I know, it is kind of difficult to see in the photograph.



Hop on over to see the fun new community, I'm sure you'll see lots of familiar faces!

Good Morning,

It is time for another Monday reveal at Practical Scrappers. Check out my side bar to the left for some incredible new changes at PS coming your way in October.

This week our challenge is to use ribbon on your project. I had this darling photo of my oldest nephew, Tyler, just begging to be scrapped.

I gathered the ribbon to form a little border to help bring the eye to his beautiful gaze. I also took the remainder of the ribbon to create a little side bloom that was attached with a dainty hat pin. I am to pleased with how this one came out.

Supplies:

cardstock, bloom,., ribbon, pin, and journaling tag are all Lucky Girl Craft Kits

bling- Prima

Lucky Girl Blog Party Day 1...

Good Morning,

Today is day one of our September Blog Party over at Lucky Girl Craft Kits. Check out what we have to offer in our Falling for You kit....

Such a beautiful kit and packed with gorgeous blooms, ribbons, and divine papers!!!!

Here is my first layout for this kit. Everything on this page came from the kit, the only thing I added was a bit of ink to the flower to blend the color a bit and just a touch to the paper ribbon.

This layout is of my handsome oldest nephew, Tyler on his Senior Prom back in 2009, see, I'm waaaay behind! But I absolutely adore these photos of him and his little date. I took these photos before the prom. We had just had a huge rain storm and it stopped just long enough to travel to this 100+ year old church for photos.

Good Morning,

There sure is a lot going on for me today! First, it is Friday and the end of my first week back to school. I kind of got a little spoiled with two weeks of snow days!

Next up, today is my debut with Frosted Designs. Our new challenge this week is to use chipboard on your projects. I had just been itching to use my Felicity papers and this was the time! I scrapped my oldest nephew, Tyler. This was a photo shoot I bought for his senior year. He graduated in June. Doesn't he look like he's dreaming of the possibilities for his future? I used matching ink to ink up my chipboard letters. Then I stamped a flourish with embossing ink, added some clear powder, this was a very subtle way to dress up the title a little.

This paper is so pretty, I wanted to just let it do all the work, I added very few elements. I did

pull two corners back with a stamped flower and brad. I also stamped the same flower in the lower corner.

Now, you know I have links to my Fabby Frosted DT sisters in my side bar. Visit them for a cup of chipboard mojo and leave them some love!

Happy Hump Day,
This morning I'm posting a layout of my oldest nephew, Tyler (he's 18) and his Sweetie at Senior Prom in May. It poured the rain that day. We were just praying for the rain to stop long enough to get photos. Praise God it did! We went to an old historic church in town and used the church and lovely grounds as our backdrop. I just captured this shot as they were getting ready for "posed" shots. You know, this is my favorite picture of the night! I'm so proud of the outstanding young man he has become!

I'm sorry that the photo is too light. I could not get a good one this morning.
