and down to the wire! February page was created using the Sorbet line. A quick punch of some hearts out of different sides of the papers and some ribbon bows and here it is!
Some Prima flowers and yellow brads hold the trans-parency in place.
This page has a simple line of ribbon with smaller pieces tied along the way. The "f" for family was the only non-Simple Sweet embellish-ment and cut out of Basic Grey paper.
did a little fishing. Although we didn't catch anything but water plants and moss, it was still fun. I used the Toadstool line for this page. I cut some circle to mimic the design on the border paper, added a few ribbon charms and this page was finished! I just love how quickly these calendar pages went together!
oldest; Chloe, Isabel, & Oaken are jumping into the pool. The looks on their faces are pure them and the action caught mid air turns an ordinary day at the pool into a memory frozen it time. I used Bermuda for this, so named for the stitching and colors; they reminded me of bermuda shorts. Such a summer time thing for me. The flowers were punched from various coordinating cardstock and layered on top of each other - one of my favorite looks. I look at this and can't wait to see what fun they will have this summer.
I used Quickutz for the title and found a darling little poem about sweet little girls that reads: Giggles and curls, ribbons and bows - she's so adorable from her head to her toes! The resin flowers are Spring Blooms herbanella trimmings from All My Memories. Don't you love how they pop off of the dark background of the picture?
These pages are unique to my kids and family, so the titles may not seem very seasonal, but anyone could easily change that. Isabel was born in April so her picture is the showcase. She also is very much into ice-skating so, this page is about her skating and being a champion. Here she is in her skating costume - just after she competed at the Utah Winter Games. I just love that she enjoys skating so much - she is really quite good at it too. I punched a few flowers from the other side of this border paper and the flower centers are punched from the 'b' side of the quad papers. The polka dot paper is another double sided paper from the Meadow line.
My celeb on the sly shot of Tim Holtz - another fantastic person and so incredibly creative. Gracious enough to go along with this foolish picture!
These three fabulous cuties from Junkitz are so fun and sassy. What a joy to talk and kid around with them - they made the trip so fun! We flew on the same flight as Teresa and she shared her awsome album with us - so nice. Stacey is funny and genuine, what a great company she has. Janna I swear was a sister in a past life - love the bling on the flip flops and the cutest personality ever!
The teachers picture is amazing to me - I can't believe I am a part of it. The whole CKU-A experience was great and I learned so much from students and peers alike.
Sometimes some light stretching was necessary, but nothing really too intense!
And always a HUGE thank you to Angela and Teresa for being such great helps. They lifted me up and made me feel at ease!
New friends all the way from Japan!
I love all of these pictures of my class...
And look at the darling mini tag book they gave me - everyone signed with the sweetest messages and thank you's. I will always treasure it.
I really like how it turned out. Just designing (with the help of Mandi!) and making it was fun, but adding the journaling has made it a treasure. I plan to add more to it as I go along - there is still some room in the album! I have another deadline I have to get in before I leave, so I had better get to work!
h my Simple Sweet Meadow papers, and a mini Tag Accordion Basket in Meadow as well. The store will be making a beautiful transformation over the next week - come check it out! Flowers get me excited for Spring and creating with these colors makes it seem like it is just around the corner. Now, all I need to do is get the warm weather clothes out, do a little Spring cleaning around the house, and, get a some sun on my legs!
fter reading the fun challenge that Robyn put out there. Scrapbooking materials, trends, and techniques seem to move and change so fast, its nice to reflect on old favorites. This challenge goes throughout the week so - here is day 1.
unless it is locked) because she has learned how to get out. She loves practicing her new found trick but it makes me a little sad - she is progressing out of the baby stage and into toddlerhood. Now it is time for me to do a little childproofing and put the kid-proof door handles on - I don't want her to escape out the front door.
is challenge help with forming a habit but encourages me to create art every day. It has been so much fun! My big challenge is exercise and better nutrition and Scott and I actually gave up sugar and all foods sweet a few weeks ago so exercise was a natural fit for me.
