A Beautiful Mess...

Having little girls means lots of tutus and pink around here. My little one loves to wear her princess clothes, but especially loves to take her Mommy's (highest) heels and prance around the house..She loves taking my jewelry and wearing my lipgloss..I can't resist her as she is so precise and so determined. She is such a great little Mommy too with her baby dolls and when we go to the grocery store she MUST push the cart and then help put everything on the belt for the cashier...She is just a hoot, but I watch her and know one day she will be a loving and caring Mommy herself..

Pure Joy...

I also have a couple of Studio Calico layouts to share from some recent kits;

just love beach pictures and this cloud and sand paper worked perfectly.

some misting and bright, fun colors

cool skyline stamp from the kit

arrows are so "in" right now in scrapbooking

Thanks for dropping in...Wishing you a lovely Spring day!

Waiting for Spring....Patiently....

Happy Easter and Happy Spring..It is still quite Chilly so it doesn't "really" feel like Spring yet that is for sure..But, the girls had a nice Easter and enjoyed hunting for eggs and eating their treats!

Last Month we also celebrated Isabel's 8th Birthday..We went out to dinner in Manhattan and she had a great time!!!! 

And how could we forget The St. Patrick's Day Parade? These girls love a parade just like their Daddy!!!

Have a Wonderful Day!!!!!

Frame & Some Valentintines Layouts

Wow! It is March 1st..That is great..We are getting that much closer to Spring & Summer.
I love working on plain wood frames and creating them for  my home...I especially love Shabby Chic Style Flowers, Lace, Pearls for my girl's room..I painted this frame and then added some cut-out paper flowers and Modge Podged them. Then I added some lace, pearl, & button details and finished it off with some glittery Stickles..

Voila! Easy Breezy..and So Springy..
I also did some layouts for Valentine's Day.  A few of the pictures were from last year that I hadn't scrapped yet, but they worked perfectly with the papers I found at Michael's on clearance After the holiday.

Red Doilies -Fun!

Vintage Die-Cuts

Last Year's Daddy Daughter Dance

Love these wood Arrows that I misted with some new Heidi Swapp Color Shine Mist

We love Heart Clothes!

Have a Wonderful Weekend and Thanks for Stopping In!

Dreaming of Summer....

Today is a Snowy, Friday..School has been cancelled in anticipation of the 6-10 inches of snow that we are supposed to get..The girls are working on some Valentine's Day projects for school and I am starting to tap into the February Studio Calico Kit, "Front Row"









I wanted to share some of my layouts completed with the January Kit, "Block Party"




 
Here we are:

Red & Blue: One of my favorite color combos

Tried to do a Tie-Dye Style Mist with some Mr. Huey's

Super Fun Papers in this Kit!

Layered this vellum piece over cardstock and found a use for those "Geotag" things

Ahhh..The MS Butterfly Punch..Always a staple..

This kit had such bright fun colors to work with..especially during the gray, cold days of January..Hopefully, the Feb. kit will be just as much fun...
Enjoy your weekend! Thanks for looking!

Holiday Layouts

Ok, so I am getting these in just before January ends...I don't know why, but it seems like Christmas and the Holidays were so long ago and I feel like I need to finish all of my Holiday layouts before January ends..Maybe it is that I get tired of all that lovely Red & Green and looking at all of my supplies..But, they are done and I have collaged them, otherwise they just take up to much space...These are a few..mind you I always no matter what, end up doing so many layouts..I guess it is just so fun to take pictures of the girls at Christmastime and they are growing so fast..So here are some of my faves..

The girls are busy this time of year..mostly inside doing crafts and playing...
My two sweethearts...

Happy "Early" Groundhog's Day!!! Hoping for an Early Spring!!!

Holiday Fun!

The holidays are always quite a busy time...

Having a quiet moment under the tree

It certainly takes a lot out of you, but the moments are precious.
In between all of the activity, I have been trying to fit in some time to work on my December Daily album and I have also been working on completing my Fall and Thanksgiving layouts.
Here are a few:

Lots of Misting
