Just The Way You Are and Oklahoma Crop Details

I took a recent trip to Archiver's (the only scrapbook store close to me besides Michaels, etc.) and was thrilled to discover that they had the new My Mind's Eye Find Your Wings and Fly collection! This has definitely become a new fave of mine by them!!! But I seem to love all of their collections!!! LOL!!
This photo is of DH sitting on the front porch of our old home. And of course, when I went to take a photo of him he made a silly face! He is good for that and it always makes me smile!!! So that is what I documented about on this layout...how much he makes me laugh and just how happy he makes me!

Free Cut File | Polar Grid

I have had this photo of my niece for almost a year and a half. I have looked at it a million times and put it right back in the box. I have been waiting for those "perfect" papers to scrap it. Please tell me that you know exactly what I mean when I say this!!! Last Monday I went scrappy shopping as part of a little birthday present to myself and I bought some papers and embellishments from the new My Mind's Eye collection called Find Your Wings and Fly. It just screamed to be used with this photo! I had finally found the "perfect" papers!!! I was inspired to create the design for the layout for the Elle's Studio Sketch Thursday challenge for 5/9. I loved the sketch and all the fun circles. I could not however, bear to cut the photo into a circle. Sorry, but I'm not ready for that just yet!


I used several of the Tidbits from the Day to Day and You and Me collections as well as some fun veneer pieces from Freckled Fawn and American Crafts! 



I also made a fun little cut file that I used as one of my circle layers. You can download it for FREE!!!



I hope you enjoy the FREE cut file and the layout of my adorable niece!!!

A Sympathy Card

Sometimes as you peruse the world wide web you see something that is exactly what you are looking for at that very moment. I recently had this happen to me as I was looking for a sentiment for a sympathy card. My cousin had just passed away and I wanted to make a sympathy card for my Aunt. I have to admit, this was a new one for me. I just haven't done this even though I have had other opportunities when this would have been a nice thing to do. This sort of thing is always difficult and I just didn't know what to say on a card. I decided that this was no longer going to be a good enough excuse, so I went searching and came across a beautiful card with the perfect sentiment on Tammy Hobbs's blog

"May each new day ease the burden of your sorrow."


She used a stamp for her sentiment, but I didn't have it so I created mine using my computer. I printed it, figured out where to place it and then cut out the label shapes with my Silhouette. It took a little practice to get things lined up, but in the end it worked out just fine.



Supplies: Little Yellow Bicycle, The Twinery

Thanks Tammy, so very much, for your inspiration!!! And thank you for your visit and comments!!!
