Something to scrap about!

If you’ve been reading my blog you know my Mommy was here over the holidays! It’s almost become tradition that she’s here (wherever that may be: Alaska, Texas, Maryland) with us for either Christmas or New Years. This time she bought with her some pretty scrap papers she found at TJ Maxx. I think she picked up mostly because it had a lot of pink which is her favorite color. But it just happened to work out perfectly for a photo of her I’d planned to scrap. Papers used were:Fiskers Cloud 9 Design circa 2007. Love the gray and pink shades. I enhanced the flowers and paper with Stickles and Glossy Accents. I used DCWV The mini scalloped textured cardstock stack. And of course my new favorite embellishment, swirly pearls!

Here is a close up of the embellishments. I haven’t written in the journaling yet, I have to figure out how to shorten what I want to say. I love those word stickers that came with the kit. This page came together super quick because it was a kit and everything coordinated!

Here is a LO of my beautiful daughters last year at Christmas time. I used My Minds Eye Wonderful Winter Glittered Christmas Papers. I finally dusted off my Cricut and used her to cut out the snowflakes.

Here in the close up you can kind of see the stickles I added to the snowflakes to give them sparkle! Looking at these photo’s and looking at them now. The Pookie Doo has grown taller, thinner (her squishiness is fading) and too smart for her own good. The Munchkin has also grown taller, wiser and more confident. Watching them grow is so bittersweet.

Thanks for Looking!

Sisters

I don't have a sister and so if it's true we always want what we can't have, I've always wished I'd had a sister. Preferably an older sister from whom I could borrow clothes, would do my hair and give me advice.
Luckily my little E has one. R is the best big sister I know. She looks out for E and I love to hear her giving her advice on friendships when they think I can't hear them. Most every night since Munchkin learned to read she's read her little sister a bedtime or anytime story or two. I love when E brings home drawings from school or daycare of her and her big sister, there are always hearts and the words, "I love my sister".
                                                                                     The pictures were taken when E was 5 months old  and R was 4
In case you may not have noticed I used a ton of pearl accents. They are my new favorite products.

I love the beauty stickles and glossy accents add to embellishments.

Butterfly

As soon as I took these photos of E I could not wait to develop and scrap them. We'd attended an event here in our town and they had games and face painting for the children. I'd thought she would get just a little flower or ladybug on her cheek but she saw the full face butterfly and said,"Mommy, I wan the big butterfly". It turned out really cute and she didn't want to wash it off it at the end of the day.

I used My Minds Eye papers on this LO.
