Home Sweet Home | That Old House

And here I am sharing a few more layouts I created for my dear friend.  These layouts are all about significant homes were he or his family have lived.

First this two page LO



I used the Echo Park So Happy Together collection.
Once again I am leaving a journal spot for him to enter it in his own words.  I additionally will be providing him with some vellum strips (dove tail) to place them at the bottom of each house with the year or significant date...

And here a one page layout of a more recent home.




I used the same Echo Park collection, wooden figurines and some crazy stitching.

Hope he likes them (who am I kidding, I hope he loves them!!).

Hi Ted!!!  ( I just shared my blog's address with him.... for the million time!! LOL hope this time he remembers it! : )

Class of '57-'58 Scrapbook LOs

As I shared before in recent posts I have been busy creating layouts for my former assistant and wonderful friend Ted.

Today I have two layouts of his and his wife's graduation pictures.

It was not my intention to create a two page layout, but I decided to create them with matching papers or using the same collection so that they will go together in the scrap book.


For hers I added this rose that I hand cut from a 4x6" card included in the collection to give it a 3D look.  I also added sequins and glitter framing.  The glitter paper is from Recollections and it is a very pretty with very fine glitter like (and I say glitter like because no glitter ends up on you hands or all over the place like with other glittered papers).

 For his I added a strip or edger that I cut from the same glitter paper using Spellbinders edgers on both sides of the center PP.

 The postcard I added and the letters for the titles are also part of the same Simple Stories collection.

Supplies:

Simple Stories Generations collection
Recollections glitter paper
Spellbinders edgeabilies die
Papertrey Ink tag dies (for both tags on her LO)
