Christine's blog challenge #6: Go Heritage...(bonus)
Okay, I must admit I am NOT a heritage scrapper. I have put this challenge off and struggled with starting it many times. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE to see the heritage pages that people do! They are amazing and I love the fact that we are taking those old photos and putting a story with them when otherwise the stories may have never been told.
So, here is my "heritage" page...{well, at least I used a heritage picture}.




journaling reads:
Even if only for a day...I wish grandma della may castor could be here with us. If only just to sit & rock the boys in her lap & "get them" with her "chicky hawk".

{i wonder...

...what's on your mind?

This is for the sketch challenge over on Pagemaps blog...Thanks Sherry for the inspiration!

{love you little stinker dude...

Lovin these new papers from Fancy Pants...plus decided I needed to do another "handcut" thing for Christine's challenge since the egg in the below layout was so simple...so I made the title "dream". Still pretty simple.

Challenge #3 on Christine's blog: scrapbook a list

{dear hubby,

...it wasn't my fault! It flew into my cart as I was walkin by...
{hee! hee! hee! I just couldn't leave it there! Plus, I needed it to make this birthday card!}

{oh, baby...

I had the privilege of working with some of the great new goodies from the Sharon Ann Baby Safari, girl line by My Little Yellow Bicycle. It was so much fun to play with some girly stuff! A friend was nice enough to allow me to use pics of her beautiful daughter that I took a couple of weeks ago.

ETA:: I almost forgot! The layout is also for Christine's Challenge #8~ scraplift a page from your fav. designer. The layout was inspired by the amazing Maggie Holmes.
