Wonderful...

I love these photos of my dear daughter Sienna! She is growing up so fast and I thing she looks so much older than she is in these photos!  The daycare always give you the proof strips too so rather than cut them up I just left them as is for this page!  The colour combo needed a little burst so I added some pink to match Sienna`s shirt!  Of course the challenge was to use some pearls so I accented with some pearl brads I had tucked away in my stash!  Be sure to check out the amazing work of our DT and guests, The guest work and DT pulled out some stunning layouts enjoy and play along!!!  GO TO www.color-me-scrappy.blogspot.com and have some fun with us!!!!

My Men

My post for Scrap'n With Flair this month I used a few left over bits and pieces from my July Plumeria Kit I added some extra goodies I picked up from the store as well!  I made this page about my sweet men, John and Carter, love those guys and who says they have to be in a “manly” layout right?!  I really enjoyed last months kit it had a ton of embellies and loads of paper I have made 6 layouts, a few cards and decorated the graphic 45 box with it.  Of course I did add some other goodies too, but all from my Scrap’n With Flair stash, I don’t know anyone else who loves flowers as much as I do!!! I also used some decorative tiles from Prima and my Tim Holtz distress inks!

Anyway hope everyone is enjoying the last few weeks of summer I know we will be…

Happy Scrappin’

Graphic 45 Box from Scrap'n With Flair

This Graphic 45 Box came in my July Kit from Scrap'n With Flair I love how it turned out.  I will admit I was a little stumped at first on what to do with the box.  That moment of challenge is why I love to be on a design teams...."I have these products in front of me..now how can I use them to make this stuff look awesome"  That is what goes through my head and usually with out real "plan" I let my creativity take over and see what I come up with.  In the words of Vicki Boutin, "sometimes happy accidents happen" but they make the best ideas!  I used mostly products from the kit with a few additions from my stash.  I also used some of the Memory Box dies I purchased from Scrap'n With Flair as well.

Inside the box is a cute accordion paper fold, and I used that to create a little mini, that when I decide who I am going  to give this to I will fill with photos and notes to that person,
I am thinking my niece Lyla might really like this!  She loves pretty things...
