Springtime Princess...

Happy Easter!! I thought I would share a scrap page that had springy colors on it. These are pictures of my younger daughter Sarah. She is a lot of fun! She is our peacemaker in the family. She has such a tender heart. We were trying to take pictures of the kids in the back yard for Grandma's yearly scrap pages and the kids had fun doing lots of poses.

These pages went together pretty easily. I started with two 12 x 12 sheets of whisper white cardstock. I then took two sheets of barely banana cardstock and cut curvy lines on them. I adhere the banana paper to some pixie pink paper and cut more curves in the pink. It was all quite random.... Then I took those layered pixie and banana papers and adhered them to the white page bases. I used blue gingam ribbon over the pixie and banana seams and then punched out a large quantity of daisies and circles in the pixie, white, banana, and celery cardstock. I put my pictures on coordinating cardstock layers and then adhered them to the page. I then filled in the seams with the daisies. I stamped SARAH with the old stencil alphabet on white carstock with black ink and cut it out and put it on the page. It is hard to see, but on the white middle section there are tiny pink flowers stamped. Just for a bit o' texture.

This is one of my favorite layouts of Sarah. I think it really captures her sweetness and her playfulness. Enjoy!

Bradley

Sunday, my best friend died. My sweetheart of 20 years died suddenly from diabetes. We didn't know he had diabetes. It came quick and took him from me. Brad was more than just my husband, he was my best friend. I relied so very much on his strength to guide me and my children through this life. I admit I feel a bit lost without him, already. I had planned on much, much more time with him. Brad and I met on January 28th, 1989. We were both at a nightclub for under age night with our friends that had dragged us there. We were both ready to leave when we were talked into one more dance. That dance changed our lives. We hit it off right away and danced the rest of the night. In face, we were together from then on. I remember that after that night, I waited all day for his call. It was love right away for me. I felt something I had never felt before and knew that he was the one for me. We dated for six months before Brad went to Texas to go to school. We talked a lot on the phone, and I

Bloggers challenge and candy

I know I said I would post some blog candy yesterday but I didn't even get near my computer! What a crazy day! I had planned on doing it the night before but...I was in the kitchen doing the dishes and I was so dog tired that I laid my head down on the counter for a minute. My son came into the room and said, "go to bed mom, dad and I will do the dishes." Now, who in thier right mind would turn down that offer? My boys HATE to do anything in the kitchen that doesn't involve eating. I immediately turned off my water(boiling for herb tea) and skedaddled upstairs and went to bed. I'm no dummy! The kitchen was not cleaned to my standards, but I'm not about to look a gift horse in the mouth! Speaking of gifts, I have a little blog candy offer today. In honor of my 8000 hits, I am offering the following: A simply scrappin kit "Just Delightful", a stamp set "Delight in Life", three mini spools of ribbon, some acrylic tiles AND a copy of the latest

Doubles with candy!!

Today is another fun summer day at my house. The kids are running here and there and I'm just trying to keep up. I realized I hadn't sent out Father's day cards yet, so that is what I worked on today. I tried to keep these nice and clean and manly. I remember going to a demonstration at a Stampin' Up! convention years ago where Kevin Theeson and another guy(I forget his name....) talked about 'manly' cards. One of the things they stressed was that guys don't like cards made with pastel cards. They prefer bold bright and earth element colors. I'm not sure if they suggested we stay away from florals too, but I kind of figured that was a safe idea. ;o) For this card I started with some textured Wild Wasabi cardstock cut to 10-1/2 x 5-1/4. That gave me a 5-1/4" card when folded. The striped paper across the center is from a retired SU simply scrappin kit...primary colors I think it was called. I added a strip of Real Red to each side of the stripes for
