I had the pleasure of working with the Simple Stories Kraft Labels:


 
There are lots of fun labels in this package!
 
Here is the layout I created:
 
 
I used Magic Mesh as a stencil and added light modeling paste to the kraft arrow. Once it was dry, I painted it with watercolors.
 

 
The kraft tags, I dry embossed and used them as a base for my photos:

 
I also used these items which can be found in the My Scraps & More Store on my page:

Background cardstock and light pink pp is from Love Elsie, so sorry they aren't around anymore, loved their textured cardstock!  The ornament pp is from Crate Paper.  The embellies are from Echo Park, Fancy Pants and a few unknown since I've cut the names off :)

Sweet Baby girl

Using sketch #77 from My Scraps & More Sketch blog and it's #18 at the My Scraps & More Sketch-a-thon..  

I love using sketches as a jump start for my layouts.  These papers and embellies are from Sassafras "Indie Girl"  almost out of paper, but still have some border stickers, might have to do a layout just using those. 

Don't have a date on this photo, but I'm guessing Katie is about 3 months old.  Thank you for stopping by.

Jennifer's 40th!

It's hard to believe we have a daughter that has turned 40!  Reminds me that I'm getting old.  But Katie reminded me that I'm not old until I have gray hair.  I guess I'm never going to stop coloring it, that way I'll never be old in her eyes.  :)  The cake is "Hot fudge sundae cake"  so yummy!

thank you for stopping by.
