It's A Girl Thing

Happy Friday!  Fall is in the air!  I love fall for many reasons, one being cooler weather,  high school sporting events, visits to the pumpkin patch with my grandchildren, and the beautiful fall colors.  

My layout today was scrapped using photos of Ava doing one of her favorite things when shopping.....admiring the jewelry & herself!  It doesn't matter where we shop, while everyone else is shopping for cloths, she is admiring & trying on the jewelry!  

This is my second layout using paper from my Basic Grey POTM kit.  Love the colors from the kit and still have a little paper & a lot of elements for another project.  I want to thank Ashley Horton for the Say It With Pearls Adhesive, they were the perfect element for this layout.  Ashely had sent them to me over a year ago and I felt guilty that I had not used them yet, but so glad that I had saved them for Miss Ava's fun layout!  Ashley has also been a source of inspiration for my scrapping.....always new & creative ideas!

Supplies-Paper: BG Highline Collection, Adornit Pink Cotton Candy, Doilie: Dovecraft, Chipboard: Heidi Swapp, Pearl Adhesive: Prima Marketing, Title: Cricut Base Camp, Wood Veneer:Studio Calico, Word Elements: Tim Holtz & Me & My Big Ideas. 

I have a reveal coming this next week......I can hardly wait to tell all!  Wishing all a blessed weekend.  

Hello There

Wishing everyone a blessed Monday morning!

  I have been absent from my blog far too long!  There are many exciting things going on in my life, but not ready to tell yet!  My newest layout was scrapped using photos of Ava that were taken in March 2013.  I had bought the cute hat for her while we were at the mall one Saturday and knew it would be perfect for her third year photos!   

The inspiration for this layout came from one of my favorite scrappers, Lynette Jacobs.  It was featured in the August issue of Create Magazine.  I decided to print the photos in b&w because the colors were so bold and I wanted to focus on the photos themselves.  Ava is so much fun to scrap for and I love how this one turned out. 

Supplies-Paper: BG Highline POTM, MME Blossom Sisters, BG Hey You (Frame), BG Register, BG Olivia, BoBunny Back to Backs, Chipboard: Heidi Swapp Hearts, Title: Tim Holtz Mini Cards, Wood Veneer: Studio Calico, Border Punch: Martha Stewart, Rub-Ons: Little Yellow Bicycle.

For this layout I choose to use a Basic Grey POTM instead of using it as they suggested.....love the colors and have more left for another layout, or two.  

I feel very blessed to my wonderful husband that is willing to stay in our home town, waiting patiently, for our house to sale.  He works very hard at a job that he loves so I can be here caring for Ava & Grayson....he also has another job on the side since he likes to stay busy.   He took early retirement three years ago, but doesn't want to slow down any time soon.  What a man.....love him so much!  He is celebrating his 64th Birthday today!  One of the young men that he works with offered to take him out to dinner tonight.  Thanks, Christian! 

Praying that everyone has a good week.
