#39

Oh to Be back at the beach with my classmates!!! That would be great. This is another picture from my 25th reunion beach trip to Orange Beach, Alabama. This was taken on the evening we arrived. We were ready for some fun and we had us some! Anyway the layout is based on sketch #39 from Liz at The Scrappiest and as usual it is awesome!! I used lots of products from my studio calico kit to complete this one. I just love the Maya Road kraft envelopes. I placed one behind the patterned paper and had the flap hang over. Inside is a journaling card with some sentiments. Love the way this one came out.


Stop by The Scrappiest to check out the sketch and the other DT layouts. Lots of great inspiratiom there! Hope everyone has a wonderful week!

Pumpkin by Design

Yes, I have a "pumpkin designer" at my house! This year Bryn insited that she could design her own without any help! She did just that.
My layout Pumpkin Design is based on sketch #37 from The Scrappiest. I took a few liberties with it---flipped it, moved the embellie cluster over slightly, used 4 wallet photos in place of the one larger photo, and incorporated a bracket instead of the circle! I made those super cute pumpkins using the oval on my Cricut George cartridge. I simply cut 3 and glued together in an overlapping fashion to create a pumpkin shape. I added a few handsewn stitches. (Thanks for this inspiration Frances!) I love my layout! Follow this LINK over to The Scrappiest and check out this super sketch along with all the other DT inspiration! Have a great Monday!!

The Witching Hour

has come and gone! This year I had a Dark Bride to escort. She and her friend, Mya, had a wonderful time! They were a bit scared to enter the haunted houses that were up for their enjoyment, but with much coaxing I got them to go into one. Their response, "It wasn't even scary!" Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!

A smiling Dark Bride??

Sweet little ones
