The Vacation I didn't take...

This is a dual page layout that I did of my daughters family on a week long vacation to Florida. Ask, you may, why I would do a vacation layout that I didn't go on??? Easy, it was Emma's (grandbaby #1) first trip to the beach!!!
Here you go, enjoy...

I forgot to mention this is also a challenge completion. My girlfriend and I went to check out "Big Lots" after everyone commenting on you tube about their "hauls", the challenge was to create 2 layouts using nothing but what we purchased at that shopping trip... -- it's harder than it sounds! Obviously, I had to get permision to use my paint to paint the K & Co chipboard frames that were only $1 !!! Good Luck Kim, I'm can't wait to see what you create! ♥

The Emma / Papa Paperbag book

Here it is!! I wanted to do a paperbag album about Emma and her time with us last summer --- One problem, every picture was only of Papa and Emma (guess who takes the pictures), so here is my Emma / Papa paperbag album.
Thanks to Marion, I really enjoyed following your album directions on you tube.

p.s. I spent some time learning how to make my own glitter paper (the kraft), I love the look of glitter paper but I find it extremely expensive, using glitter glue that I have had for 10+ years I "adapted" some paper using the glitter glue and an old credit/gift card - I'm really pleased with the outcome!

Big Girl Bed

I had fun tonight! Made this 2 page layout all about Vince and I playing "The Griswalds" driving sons truck from Frisco to Austin with Emma's big girl bed tyed to the back of the truck. We got a few funny looks...never a dull momment.

Tent Camping layout

This is a layout from a camping trip in September '07. I bought the "camping" laser cut at GASC and it was fun adding a little pen art to it. I really like the title being done with the die cuts. (something else new)
It was our first camping outing after having the motorhome for 6+ years, can you say "spoiled"? It was a bunch of hard work, but I am ready to go again, I will wait until the fall when it cools off a bit.

GASC - Score!!!

Sorry, the photos are in reverse order and I can not figure out how to fix it!





Well here it is...this was my favorite find at the Arlington GASC last week or so ago. Of course, it's all about my favorite subject, Emma, and her 2 best buddies. The photos don't do it justice it came out so cute and I can't wait to give it to Lana. It is superduper thick chipboard cut out with the letters BFF the vendor has a great website "creekbank creations". Check it out.
