Remembering

This is a photo of me and my grandmother "Nenny".  I was around 7-8 months old and she was 38.    I was not sure that I really liked this photo but the more I looked at it I knew that I had to do a layout.  I was at The Crafty Scrapper and they had just received their latest shipment from Prima and I just LOVE it.  All the papers, flowers, and embellies are so gorgeous.  I used Prima Romantique Collection - Estella paper and Printery Collection - Love Ledger paper.  I thought it would look great with this photo.  I used Martha Stewart circle cutter to cut out 2 circles. 

I used Martha Stewart circle cutter and then I distressed the edge and used Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Vintage Photo.  On one of the circles I cut out little sections and ran ribbon around the circle and added orange pearls from EK Success.  The inner circle I folded the paper as if I were making a fan.  I also distressed around the cirlce and inked it as well.  On the edges of the fold I used Diamond Stickles to add a little punch. 

I found a little pendent that I have been wanting to use.  I also used Prima flowers, Avon Rose Collection and Country Rose Collection.  I found Maya Roads flourishes and painted them with Brown Dabber and then stickled them as well.

Thank you for looking!

Making Memories

This photo is my daughter Mandy and her son Logan.  Logan was around 6-7 years old.  He is now 11 so it has been awhile.  My daughter and her husband have been divorced since he was a year old.  Logan is the one who came up with the title of Making Memories which I believe fits this layout.

Here are the items that I used:

Chestnut Roan Ink
Jolee's fleur

1st Haircut

I love this photo of my granddaughter Kenzie.  She is three and this is the first time she has had her hair cut.  As you can seen she is not very happy!!!  I wish the photo was better but it was taken with a cell phone and therefore it is not as clear as it should be.  I placed her hair that was cut in the little orange frame.  Once her hair dried you can tell she is a little blonde.  Her hair is still long but now it is all trimmed up and looking good!!!   Yeah Kenzie!!!

Basic Grey Life of the Party "Block Party" paper
Basic Grey Life of the Party "How you've grown "paper

Dream

I found this photo of my parents which was taken in 1949 after they were married.  I love the look my dad is giving my mother.  They were so in love with each other.  She was 17 and he was 24.   Today she would have been too young to get married.  However, she had already graduated from high school and was enrolled in a secretary school.  They were married for 61 years until his death in April 2010.  He is missed every day!  They had 4 children which I was the oldest.  My dad named me Ginger. 

These are the items that I used:

Maya Roads red rose ribbon
Kaiser Craft lamp post
Chestnut Roan Ink
Prima flowers
Tim Holtz Dream tag

Princess

I really love this photo of my granddaughter Paityn.  However, since this was taken she now has had her hair cut short which is sooo cute!!  Another layout on that!!!  Paityn has always called herself a little princess so therefore I really thought this layout would work.   I really love the papers and used various ones with flowers. I then found a paper that had Cinderella so I just cut it out and used it as well.  I love the transparent flowers and added Dream & Giggle to the stem. 

Here are the items that I used:

Chestnut Roan Ink
Prima Flower Vine
Tim Holtz Giggle and Dream
Martha Stewart Circle Cutter
Maya Roads Green / Lace Ribbon
EK Success Pearls
