pages 63-64: Bon Jovi

I sat here trying to come up with all these clever things to say and all I want to say is Jon Bon Jovi is one handsome man :) I was more of a Duran Duran girl in high school (not a rocker chick by any stretch of the imagination.) Let just say that Jon has aged a whole better than those other guys.

I had a rough time with this LO . I started it and then left it and then revisited it. I knew it needed more detailing. But, I was not having any luck. I decided to add the brad detailing first and then the guitar (Cricut, Indie Art). Once again, Becky had the FAB U LOUS idea of adding black Stickles to the guitar. Made is just right...just like Jon.

My husband in on this LO and for the record, he is handsome too :)

papers used: Sasparilla, barn red and black cardstock

pages 61-62: Family Disney

I quite a few Disney pictures this year since we took the plunge and bought passes. It has been wonderful to spend time there with family and friends. This LO was inspired by one from fellow CTMH consultant Betty Hileman. I ended up with much less detail then her LO, and I rotated part of her design, but I love it anyway.

pages 59-60: Princess Day

My friend Becky is an awesome scrapper. And she LOVES to do paper piecing. When I saw this AWESOME LO, I freaked. She was kind enough to replicate it for me.

Thanks Becky-Becky!!!

I love SKETCHES

This sketch is made by Tiare Smith


I have a love affair with sketches. I have a sketch saved and used it today to make 2 really cool LO's. The first one I am not sure what I will use for. The second will be used for my accumulation of Disney pictures.

These LO are from 2 different swaps and 2 different scrappers. They used the same paper so it came in handy when I scrapped these pictures from K's birthday party.

pages 47-48 What time is it?

Thanks to Jenn M. for this great swap page. The colors were perfect for this LO for High School Musical:

Journaling reads:
We didn't think we were going to make it in time for the show. But, we walked up at exactly the right time. K enjoyed the show and was lucky enough to be pulled up twice to perform. One Happy Girl!

Pirate 12x 12 Vertical Frame

Well, here is another hanging frame. I love these...I want to buy more.

This frame was for Becky. She loves Pink and Black and Pirates. Not exactly what you'd might expect for a Mother's Day gift. But, she loved it.

The pirate paper is from Rusty pickle. I used the same ribbon detail along the edges of the frame, but this time I added more ribbon to the rings. More ribbon is good :)
