Lily

Awe Lily, you are one of the weirdest cats I have ever known. We have so many names for you, the kids call you LiL, and sometimes "rat-tail" cuz your tail is so small.  You are so small, really,  And sometimes we call you "Spill" because your belly spills out when you sit down!  Thats love Lily!  I enjoyed making this single page layout.  The vibrant blues of this photo called for a striking page so I used a grain pattern from Kaiser Kraft and their denim as well. CTMH cardstock to break it up a bit.  Then load it up with flowers and embellies.  I love this page, the best part if the pipe cleaner flowers.  I learned the day that I made this page when I was at Unique Retreat, a number of teachers were also there and they told be they are called cochineal sticks....I laughed and laughed, seriously??/!!!!  

FUN LOVE with my kids....picking berries

This has got to be one of my most random pages EVER!  This is my take on Challenge #10 at Color-Me-Scrappy  I have to say that these are not colours I would have used together at all, so "challenge" this was indeed!  It's weird because although it is random, I really like it!  I guess it's because I love all the "stuff" on it despite, the fact that it doesn't really "go" together, it's kind of like the "awkward geek" we all knew in high-school ( or maybe you were the awkward geek...I am not judging at all, I was friends with lots of geeks!), underneath their outward odd-ness they are really great people to know, in fact some of my better friends to this day!!!  That is what this page is to me awkward but GREAT!  Great, because this day was a very special day last year about a week after we moved away and it was a day that we spent being a new family of three. Sounds kind of sad, sure it was, but it was a lot of good too!
