Seaside / Remember This Day / together / Forever

These four layouts are for my neice (Lindsay) album.  She asked me to put together a 12 X 12 album for her son Austin who is 12 (I believe).  I used so many different items and then added lots of goodies.  These layouts took my awhile to complete.

You see - about 4 weeks ago it had rained and I decided to go out on our covered patio and then I noticed the little bird feeder was empty.  I was barefooted and stepped out onto our deck which has been sealed but it was still wet and I forgot that it becomes rather slicky!  Obviously I took a nasty fall and both feet came off of the desk and I fell onto my right arm near my shoulder.  I first thought it was dislocated but obviously I could move it.  I went to the hospital and lucky for me it was not broken but all the tendons, muscles, legimates, are all swollen.  It still hurts to lift my arm but it is coming along.  At least it has not hindered my scrapbooking!!  LOL

Thank you for much for looking!!  Hope you have a wonderful day!

I finally got a new photo of my daughter Mandy.  The colors have been changed and I love it!  I wish I could tell you what all I used but I have had these papers for quiet sometime.  I did do a lot of work on this layout.  I used a templet on the birdcages and branch plus the triangles.  I added 2 colors of ink for the background plus tore pieces of paper and adhered them to the page.  I found a chipboard piece which I added white paint and then used Perfect Pearls to make the colors green and blue.  I used netting tape, cheesecloth and lots of goodies to this layout.  Most of the items I have had for a long time!!

Here is a list of some of the items:

Floral Paper is by Melissa Frances
Green Paper is by The Paper Studio

This is such a lovely photo of my husband and granddaughter Kenzie.  We were in Port Boliver, Texas and after eating dinner that night we stepped out unto their deck and we were watching the beautiful sun setting!  My daughter-in-law took this photo of them just talking with the sun and water in the background.  It really seems to be so cool and calm and gave me a sense of peace and quietness.

I found old Halloween paper for the background and then used another one that I also have had for awhile.  I cut out using Martha Stewart punch.  I sewed around the paper added the cut out paper and then distressed it with Tim Holtz ink.  I also used embossing paste with a floral templet and added that to the scroll at the bottom left.  I then added paint and pearls to the scroll.  I added lots of flowers plus netting and Gesso paint.  I then found some white beads and glued those into place.

Here is a list of items that I used:

SEI - Salem Heights Collection - Hallows Paper
The Paper Studio - Woven Natural Fibers Papers
Studio 490 - Embossing Paste - Metallic Gold
The Leaky Shed - Scroll Corner
The Paper Studio - Flowers, Large Butterfly Punch
Martha Stewart - Arch Lattice Punch, Small Butterfly Punch
Tim Holtz - Distress Ink - Vintage Photo

Cheesecloth

By The Sea

These sweet photos are my granddaughter Kenzie.  We were all at the beach in Galveston, Texas.  We rented a home on the beach front and the home was lovely.  It had 3 bedrooms and 2 baths.  I really loved the hammock outside which on two days I placed myself in it and promptly went to sleep in the cool breeze!  Ah...it was heavenly!!  These two photos were taken at night after we had just eaten at Stingarees!  Kenzie was dressed up and having a good time wading in the cool water!

I used various papers and one is from Graphic 45.  The light blue paper I have no idea who made it but I used 3 colors of chalk and then stamped and added modeling paste!  I cut out from Sizzix the leaves and used Prima flowers.

Here is a list of items that I used:

Graphic 45 - A Ladies Diary Collection - Fashion Plates Paper
Melissa Francis - 12 C'Est La Vie Banners
Chalk - I have had there for years and do not know who made them
Blue Letters - Hobby Lobby
Stamps - 3 various kinds that I have had for years
Gesso Paint
Sewing Machine
Martha Stewart - 3 various punches
Tim Holtz - Ink - Vintage Photo
Two Sea Shells that I got in Galveston

Thank you for peeking and hope you have a good day!

No Soliciting

Well, I made this for my daughter Heather.  Isn't it cute!  She found one some where and sent me a photo and asked me to please make one for her.  So here is my version.  I found the wood at Hobby Lobby and painted it black.  I then added two different sizes of stickers and then Mod Podge over the whole thing to seal in the stickers.  I then added ribbon and used thumb tacks on the back. 

Thank you for looking and hope you have a great day!

Remember When ...

 Remember when ...  I was much younger.  This photo is me when I was 17 in 1968.  The top photo is me now at age 62!  Geez - It seems like yesterday until I look in the mirror!  Or it could be when I see my 4 children age 40 to age 30 along with my 4 grandchildren.  I realize that time really does fly by.  Especially when I visit my mother age 81 who has Alzheimer  and her mother (my grandmother) who will be 101 this summer.  She still drives, lives in her own apartment, and will go visit my mother. 

I wanted to do a layout different from anything that I have ever done.  I used Gesso paint and lots of stamps.  I then tore scrap pieces of paper and started layering it all together. 

 You can see here the various layers that I used.

This is a closer look at the flowers that I used plus all the other additions.

Prima Flowers
Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch

Thank you again for looking!

I have always loved this photo of my daughters Heather and Mandy with Logan - Mandy's son.  I have joined a challenge on scrapbook.com for Pintrest which has the colors of red, white, and blue.  I was in the mood to scrap so I just looked around for papers that might work.  I found the background paper from BoBunny and another from Fabscrap.  I am not sure who did the paper with the birds but I believe it might be from Melissa Francis.  Sorry...but I tossed away the rest of the paper!  I cut out a circle and added modeling paste to a mask (the clock).  I stamped the little hearts and added lots of flowers.  I also used a blue ink  around the edges of the papers.  I used a dark blue ribbon from Maya Roads - at least I believe it is by them for I have had it a year! 

Here is a list of items that I used:

BoBunny - Serinity Damask Paper
Fabscrap - Shabby Chic Stripe Paper
Martha Stewart - Circle Cutter
Liquitex - Modeling Paste
Maya Roads - Flowers
Prima - Flowers
Blue Ink
Prima - Junkyard Findings - Lamp
