Long time no postie...

I promise there's good reason!! I kind of took a OMG I just found out I'm pregnant hiatus! Yep, you read that right. Talk about quite the summer surprise! So I have been wading thru the extreme fatigue and migraines...but I am back!! I have lots of goodies I never posted so I'm gonna kick it off with this little gem...

This layout was made with supplies from a Gossamer Blue Kit. I just adore this photo of my parents with all their grandkids. What a fun beach trip we had!

Be sure to come back tomorrow for another layout!!

Angel Eyes

This child of mine has the bluest eyes.

 

 They are so captivating.

 

On the outside she is total mischief. But on the inside she has the kindest, most giving heart.

 

 

 

 

This layout was created mostly with items from the May Gossamer Blue kit.

Land of the Free, Because of the Brave

I just love when the mojo flows! I took this picture last fall at my daughter's elementary school. They were celebrating Veteran's Day. Since my husband and I are both Veterans, I was especially moved by this display of flags trailing down the hall. I had the photo printed but didn't quite know what I wanted to do with it until I received my May Gossamer Blue kit. When I saw this red paper, I just knew I wanted to use it for this photo.

The only thing not included in the kit were the wood veneer stars from Studio Calico. I wanted the words FREE and BRAVE to really stand out so not only did I use a different color, I also cut each letter 4 times and glued them together to make my own "chipboard" letters.

Fly Away

I stumbled across this photo I had taken a year or so back and realized I had never scrapbooked it. It's such a favorite of mine. We were pleasantly surprised one morning to walk outside and see this balloon float on by. Since this picture was taken, we have seen many more. I am fascinated by them each time I see them. One of these days I would love to go up in one...until then I will just take pictures and dream.

Surfer Girl

I must confess I love the beach. I know many people would agree with me on this. I am also fortunate enough to get to go at least every year if not every other year. During our beach times I become a maniac with my camera. I love beach pictures, little kids running around with sandy feet, sweet sunrises...ahhhh. Words just can't describe the feeling.

Today's layout includes pictures of my youngest learning to "surf".

ombre challenge

Today I have a card I made with Moxie Fab's Ombre Challenge in mind. It's a fairly simple card in nature but I just love the colors!

When I make cards I like to keep them simple enough to actually mail. I also got to play with a new stamp (the diamonds) with this card.

wishi washi

Today's card is using LOTS of fun washi tape. That has been one of the latest fun crazes. The Moxie Fab website decided to have a challenge on using washi tape. I just happen to have a few...20ish...or more rolls of the stuff so I had to give it a whirl.

Here's my card...

(stamp is from Hero Arts- Studio Calico, days of the week washi tape is from KI memories)
