Wanted to add my latest creation - one based on the latest PageMaps sketch. I somehow missed these Cosmo Cricket papers last year when they came out - and I found them on clearance this year. I grabbed every piece of the line that I could find, and since they are double-sided, I grabbed two pieces of some of them. Since the papers are very home-y (with the faux stitching), I wanted to add home-y embellishments, hence my stitching, ribbon, the little ribbon flowers with the pearl in the middle, & the felt accents. I just love looking at this layout of my mom & my daughter & me!!
Wasn't sure how I was going to use this diecut PP when I first bought it, but then when I began working on this layout, I decided it was just right to use as the background paper. So everything layered on top of that. I've been waiting to do a layout on our favorite Aunt & Uncle, and these colors were just right!
Here's my latest endeavor, using the latest Pagemaps sketch. I wanted to do something a little different with these photos, even though...they really are vacation photos. I get tired of scrapping vacation photos AS vacation photos, so I went looking for a title or quote that would be a little different. When I found this one, I knew they were the words that I needed. Funny how layouts don't end up the way they start, but I usually like the finish!!
Yes, I know...but I'm kinda "post-less" lately...been so busy. Madison went back to school on 8/11, and since then it has been non-stop. So far, our family has remained fairly healthy, although many around us are sick. Labor Day weekend was a blur, as we did something everyday, and celebrated Madison's 9th birthday, like, all weekend!! I did manage to get a little scrapping in, and of course, too many scrapping purchases - so much for the self-imposed halt on purchases for a month. Gotta start over on that! Anyway, will share my last 4 layouts for you to see!
Here it is...the latest layout that I did today, for the latest PageMaps sketch challenge. This is one of my favorite pictures right now - it just says so much to me. I hate that I live so far away from Mom, but I hate it even more to think that my daughter will have a relationship with her Grandma, like the way I did with my Grandma. I mean, I loved her, but I didn't really get to know her. Grandma had very little influence on my life as a "person", but I cherish the memories of the visits we would have with her every summer. Mmmm, maybe I need to add some hidden journaling to my layout! :-)
(with picture by Madison!) I wanted to share this layout which I am hoping will inspire. It is from our vacation to Florida this past June. Again, I stitched on the layout, which I've been doing a lot lately. The colors in the picture were so different, but I liked them, so I looked around for some patterned papers to match - and thankfully, I found some. Another sketch by Becky Fleck - this one at BPM's website!
