Hello Beautiful...

Butterfly Bush...

 Hi everyone,  Today I am sharing a layout, I made by using two different size flower stamps.  I first stamp the flowers using black ink, then colored the inside of the flowers using Peerless transparent watercolors. I love the results I got with this, and decide to make some butterflies. I stamp the butterflies out, color it in with the Peerless and use the Big Shot to cut it out. I used brads to anchor the butterflies in place. Add pattern paper in a vertical strips, with a circle on the opposite side. Around the circle I wrote the words Butterfly Bush, added my title and finish the page off with a phrase on the photo. Thanks for stopping by :)

       
                                       Here is a close-up of the Peerless Watercolor :)

Forever In My Heart...

Mother And Son....

Good Morning, Today I'm sharing a layout I made using a picture I found of my husband and his mom, who passed away in Aug. 2010.  My background paper was white with black polka dots, I wanted to bring some blue in from the shirt. So I got my Baby Blue Liquid Pearls and added some dots to the black circles, then I took a Copic sketch, and color the circle edges.  I used a few different cut file for this page. The rose cluster came from  http://www.17turtles.com/ a freebie,  the frame came from Silhouette shop,and for the title I used Remember by  http://justnick.myshopify.com/.

I did change the words in the cut file from (forever in your heart) to forever in my heart.  I back the rose cluster with three different pattern paper, added a few stickers and some butterflies.  Thanks for stopping by :)

Boys Will Have Fun!

Happy Tuesday scrapping friends,  We went to Hershey Park last summer,where my husband and son had a BLAST on the many rides they went on!  Mommy stayed on the ground, and watch the boys having fun.(someone had to take the pictures) :)  I started the layout with a white cardstock, as my background. I also used a sketch I found at ( http://www.pagemaps.com/pagemaps_jpeg.htm ) for my design.  I cut some pattern page from October Afternoon (Treasure Map) for the different size squares and rectangles. I did a little hand stitching, add a button from A Flair for Buttons.

A Preschool Layout...
