Spring is in the Air!!!

We are going up to almost 70-degrees today! Woo-Hoo!!! I love warm weather!
Spring has inspired me to do these layouts using my February Studio Calico Kit, "Daydream Believer" 
which kills me because it is named after the Monkee's songs and Davy Jones past away last week which I am still in shock & mourning about. I have been a fan for 25+ years..since I was 12 and can't even explain how sad it is that Davy is no longer with us...I am so glad I saw them one last time in concert last June...He was just as charming & sounded just as good as he did in the 60's..

Anyway, I can't think about that..Happier Thoughts..
Here are a few of my favorite layouts from the kit:

Used some new AC "Dear Lizzy" crepe paper here..love!

Beautiful ETSY butterflies in this kit..

These pics are from last year.  So glad I finally scrapped them!

Love the softness here..

Love doing B&W's & these colors together!

Woodgrain...sigh..

Love these colors..again..

woodgrain washi & some SC mists..just playing around.

 That is all for today!! Go out and enjoy some Sunshine!!!
Happy Thursday!

February Layouts

Winter Days Indoors...Who doesn't love Cookie Monster!

 

We have had a Winter that wasn't much of a Winter this year so I figured that I might as well scrap the few snow pictures that I took this year. I do prefer Summer, so I am not really complaining and am actually looking forward to Spring.

Love this one as it shows the girls last year and this year

I have also been working on some Studio Calico December/January kit layouts and tying up some loose ends from all the photos I took this Fall.  Here are some:

Love this flower pp with her dress!

Finally! I got to use this Cosmo Cricket bunny sticker!

Love chipboard clouds!

Very Cool Wood Veneer Aplhas from the kit

Finally, one last layout of the family photo we used for our holiday card.  I love how my little one seems to do her own thing with her sunnies on!

That is all for this Tuesday! Have a Great Day!

Winter is (Finally) Here!

All Bundled Up!

We had our first actual real snowfall this weekend for the season. It snowed about 4/5" and the girls had a great time outside playing a bit:

The girls have been doing the usual January "play inside" thing as it is such a gray, blah month..They have been busy playing dress-up, guitar, tea party, and being cuddly...

 With this cold, snowy weather I have FINALLY finished all of my Christmas & Holiday layouts. Here are some of my favorites:

Love them all! But glad to finally move on to some other projects!
Thanks for stopping in..Have a Great week!!!!
