Sailor Dress Layouts

have really been neglecting my blog lately. Very busy trying to catch up on projects and everyday life keeps getting in the way of my blog. I wanted to post my sailor dress lay outs that I made for Spellbinders. Hope you like this :)

Yes yet another photo of my girls. I can be a little cheesy when it comes to getting there pictures taken:) but I am there MOM and it is my right to do so:) There is a lot going on in these layouts. I felt there needed to be a lot going on . I wanted to show case three different posses on one layout.

List Of Supplies
S4- 132 Classic Rectangles
S4-233 Labels Nine
S4-234 Ribbon Trio Two
S4-204 Fleur De Lis Pendants
S3-004 Symbology One
Craft foil from Spellbinders
Paper White & Red from The Paper Company
Base Paper luxury pack DMCM
Rhinestones from taylored expressions
Wavy Stamp of choice mine was form Tim Holts collection

A lot of the thing in these two layouts should be formal er
Head band was an altered project for Spellbinders
Then there is the anchor that I hand drawn because I could not find one in a stamp

For the journal I chose to make up poems. Yes very cheesy I know :)
Here they are
Keeley is my ray of light,
Her spirit just shines so bright,

With the love I have in my hart
I know we will never part,

When I first looked into those eyes of mine,
I knew our souls were intertwined,

You are My Baby,
My Hart, My Soul,
My Light
~Your Mummy~

Bree is my strength
She keeps me together
Her spirit breaths life into everything around her
The tender way she approaches life shines
Like no other precious moments
Her intense interests keep her focused on the task at hand
The will to make everything work for her reminds of me
As she grows though the years I can only hope
That she remains strong for there is nothing wrong
With bring a stable anchor
In this vast blue sea
~ Your mummy ~

Feeling the chill in OHIO

Life has a way of getting in the way of my blogging :) I thought I would share another project that I did for Summer CHA . The Paper Company has some really great shimmer Paper. The new snow flakes from Spellbinders just topped this layout . Hope you enjoy the eye candy :)
I am not big on the layouts But I do like the fact that I am getting a lot of my albums done .
I tend to dwell on a layout for hours . Did I do enough or not enough that is always going through my brain . The picture says a thousand words by it's self.

Well I have lots of work to do to get caught up so have a great evening everyone :)

Luminary Shoe Box

I have exciting news. I have been very busy the last couple of weeks moving my baby into her big girl bed. I now have a craft room:) I am growing
I have to admit it is nice to have my dinning room back. The husband is happier now. Yeah
No more yelling :)

This is not a very good picture. I know but it is the only one I have. I already sent it off. It was at Summer CHA.



To make this I used :
a little shoe box
7gypsies Paper
Clear Vellum
Craft Foil from Spellbinders
ColoeBox Chalks cateyes
Flurdelis Pendant Die
Accents
Three battery light inside

I have to get projects for October Done you won't here from me for a little while.
I do not manage my time very well. I am way far behind and trying to get caught up :)
have a great Day and thanks for stopping by:)

Hey There:)

This is another CHA Summer project that I made for Spellbinders Paper Arts .
This is a Photo of my Grandma when she was a little girl around the 1920's .
I saw this bag at Pat Catan's My favorite craft store:)
I had gotten my new Labels and knew just what I was going to do.
I love 7 gypsies things. If I knew how to give you a link it would be right here:)
I am not that advanced with blogging just yet. Any way Altered projects are my all time favorite things to do . They are very time consuming for me though. This took me a week to complete. There is a lot of Decoupage, Colorbox Chalks Feathers, Foil and 7 gypsies paper.
Labels 8&9 , Accents from flurdelis, Impressabilities, Renaissance Harts Pendent,
I really liked the way this turned out :)

Happy Birthday Keeley :)

Well I am slowly getting caught up with my projects. Life just keeps getting in the way!!
Keeley just turned two on the fourth and we are going to the Kiddie Park tomorrow:)
Little kids are amazing I don't Remember what I did with all of my time before them.

I think I am going crazy

I am fast becoming a stamp junky. Never thought I would until I saw Crafty Secrets has the cutest
littler girl witch for Halloween :)

Well as you may know I do some drawing. I am doing this project it is a layout for scrapbook page and it has a nautical theme.

Long story short, After combing the net for a Company that makes nautical themed Stamps that I could color in with my Copic Markers of course .
I found nothing. To be more specific I was in need of an anchor !! Well I did not find one !!

So, Here is what I came up with. Let me know what you think ?

It was done from my own mind no reference. Sometimes I will get an idea and I can't get it out of my mind. I even tried to make one with the Nestabilities (lol) . There good but I found this to work a lot better :) It will be an embellishment for the page :) AND SOMEDAY YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THE PAGE BUT
NOT RIGHT NOW . I know such a tees:)

Follow up

OK I have a couple of minutes by myself with the kiddies to bed and all:)
I wanted to Share a few of the products that I used on the Fireplace Card.
Some of the Dies are discontinued hopefully Stacey will bring some of them back because they are so great. Me in the position I am in there is not much in the case of dies I don't have :) However I am fast becoming addicted to stamps :) And I do have some doubles Dies :) I was thinking maybe blog candy :) I do not know!! or maybe trading:)

I really like the Holly that came from a die called Ornament & Holly S3-075 and the Camp Fire Die S3-073. Now I know Tags 5 S4-081 will never go anywhere it is way to popular.

Here comes the new Dies for the Christmas season(HOHOHO) not ready for that at all.
Labels 8 S5-019 I don't know about you but I can not get enough labels :)
And last but not lest the Stocking from a set called Holiday- Cheer S4-225 this die was so much fun to work with . I can see this in many different projects of mine :) If I ever have the time to post any thing. (LOL)

The paper was from DCMC luxury pack from Pat Catan's my favorite Craft Store!! Micheal's is running a close second :) But staying on track here I used a ton of Copic now I can't remember
witch ones I used and truth be told I do not want to type all of them out SO what . I know I will need to start taking pictures of what I use . So I can post them toos . Gosh there is so much for his Newbie to remember it is crazy . Back on track I used Stickel's to give it a little sparkles and some brads that I got from creative expressions. I used 3d foam squares and EZ-runner from scrapbook adhesive. And I think that is all.

Thank You all so much for letting this newbie share .
As I look and get inspired by all the talented people that have really great blogs
I am sure I am going to get better :) Have a great evening I'm off to bed good night !!
