Archives for February 2009

I know that I say it a lot… But we just LOVE fall!!!  My very favorite season, it's not cold yet, the sun is just right, and the leaves!!  Here's a little layout with Sean's pick of pumpkin from last fall… I used the wonderful Graphic 45 papers, A Maya Road tree (covered in more of those fabulous papers) and American Crafts cardstock… Add my new QuicKutz "Yogurt" font, and voila :) Happy Fall!!

Well, actually the photos are from September… But the sketch is a challenge from the October Afternoon blog :) Their papers are so pretty, they just make me smile!!!  The challenge was to create a layout using October Afternoon papers Here's my layout… It's a little dark 'cause it's dark out, I'll try to get a better picture in the daylight…

Supplies:
Patterned Paper: October Afternoon
Cardstock: Bazzill
Buttons: Creative Imaginations
QuicKutz: September from the calendar set, Yogurt, border scallop

And here's the actual sketch that the layout is based on…

For my Mother-in-Law :) I know that she checks in on my blog, and is such a huge supporter of my crafty-efforts… So, I made this layout for her.. Thanks so much for all your support and encouragement! The photo is from Kevin's wedding this past October. If I did my math correctly my parents in law have been married for 45 years (or coming up is the 45th year… I can barely keep track of my own anniversary!!) And, they're such an inspiration for happy marriages!!! It's pretty rare these days to find 2 people, married for so long, who still genuinely like each other :)  I used papers, elements, ribbons, stickers all by Little Yellow Bicycle, and American Crafts Cardstock. The scallop was made with the QuicKutz border scallop, and the heart was hand cut from corregated paper.
