A little more from Little Yellow Bicycle

Just created another page with the 25 Days of Christmas line from Little Yellow Bicycle - this collection was included in our DT kit from Memorable Seasons.I was SO happy to get out my MS lace border punch - I haven't used it for so long and this elegant paper was pefect for it! I love how the black cardstock peeks out from the layers!
You all know that I rarely create a page without a bow and this was no exception - I had to use this gorgeous red ribbon with that beautiful Imaginisce brad!TFL! Stay tuned for a very exciting announcement from me later on in the week!

Cutest Santa Photo EVER!!!!!!

I just adore Patrick's first photo with Santa. (I can't believe that this was taken 4 years ago!) He had this hair that stuck up and would not go down with all of the product in the world! It was like peachfuzz on the top of his head! I bought him this outfit for the holidays - being a first time mom-you know he HAD to have it! :) He was so very good - he looked at Santa and smiled for the camera - he didn't fuss or cry once.

I created this page with the DT Kit from Memorable Seasons - we got all kinds of goodies from My Little Yellow Bicycle - very elegant and festive papers! I also used a sketch from Sketchabilities - just found this site and LOVE it!

Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a peek! Have a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving!!!!

Creative Scrappers Sketch #79 is up!

I LOVE sketch #79 by Kristine over at Creative Scrappers! I knew exactly which picture I wanted to use the minute I saw it! It is not often that you'll see me on a page, but I love this photo of Patrick and me at my sister's wedding last fall. Patrick was the ring bearer and I was the Matron of Honor and we had SO MUCH FUN!!!!! We laughed, danced, ate great food, and enjoyed our family all day long! Not many photos exist of my kids with me so this is one I cherish with all of my heart.

I created this page using the Simply Obsessed Pink Paislee Amber Road Kit - it is GORGEOUS!!!! The Prima flowers are amazing - the little ones came attached to a vine and I simply separated them! I pleated the striped paper to go across the page and love the way the Prima Crystals anchor everything!

Be sure to check out the sketch over at Creative Scrappers! TFL and have a great week!!!!

Sketch 77 at Creative Scrappers

Sketch #77 is up at Creative Scrappers and this is my first reveal with them! I created this page with my fabulous DT kit from Memorable Seasons - filled with goodies from the October Afternoon Farm Fresh collection. You all know that I LOVE circles so I was thrilled when Kristine sent me the sketch!I inked the small alphas with brown and outlined the larger gingham alphas (be still, my beating heart!) with a black Sharpie. I love how it turned out!
I raised a few of the stickers with Pop Dots and hand stitched a square around the border of the page to bring it all together.
