(I have not posted all week due to the arrival of my daughter and grandbabies from Texas.)

Doodlecharms Two-Page LO

I created this layout for Emma's Throwback Thursday. 

Before I do the journaling I will practice with the pen holder I recently purchased.  If I cannot find a nice font, I will have to use the Pazzles.

I was trying to show the glossy words, but you can't really see!  It is always better in person!

Doodlecharm - apples and heart

Preserves - apple core and word apple

Base Camp - letter "s" and word "the"

Just Because Cards - word "apple of my eye"

Create A Critter - worm

George and Basic Shapes - Mats

Peachy Keen Stamps - heart's face

EK punch

Inkassentials glossy accents - word "apple eye"

Chalk for big apple, leaf and branch

Distress ink for the rest

Travel - Monte Carlo Two-Page LO

I liked the setting of the Mykonos LO so much that I just had to repeat with just a few changes.

There are four pictures on the left side instead of three.  This time I did buy a sheet of stamps.

I added a velum sentiment with a metal brad instead of two pictures.

I added Jolee's Euros stiker.

The journaling tag and other tags I created using recollections paper and added a metal lock. All other paper is DCWV.

I welded the letters for the words using my Pazzles.

My Daughter GRADUATING!!!

I just had to share!!!!!!

My only daughter is graduating with her BS and Teaching Credential!!!!!!!!  as I type/blog!!!!
I am sooooooooo proud of her!!!!  She has also served in the Air Force for 8 years!!!!!!!!!!!!

Travel - Mykonos Two-Page LO

I created this layout using or scraplifting a layout my BFF had done in a class.  I did not use the same paper she used and I change the setting a bit.

She had a sheet of stamps and I did not, so I got creative and searched all over the Internet (ok, I just googled Greek stamp under images and I found plenty!). I printed several in different sizes to use here.

The large stamp I hand cut as a tag and is used as a journaling tag. I did not glue the circle nor the picture mat so that it can slide in and out.

I stamped and heat embossed the bubble word "travel".

For this tag I layered with a printed sheet of many stamps together. Not a good picture, but I heat embossed a stamp mark on the tag!?

It looks much better in person!  (why is it that projects always do look better in person than here in picture?, well, hello?!! maybe I need to learn to take better pictures, lol)
