Words to live by album

Embrace, all of it. Whenever I can. Even though I'm not a sports gal, I still embrace life in my own way. So glad I was able to use the acrylic letters on this page.

That moment in time when your soul finds it's mate. It flutters, it tries to deny but knows there's no use, and finally conceeds. Then uses everything in it's arsenol to cling to it's mate. That moment is the moment you walked into my life and never left!

This page was more difficult than I imagined. Everything used to make this page was indeed FREE. No cost to me. The patterned paper was a gift, the scrabble tiles were from my mother who bought a scrabble game and found it was incomplete and gave me the pieces. The journal tag is actually a paint chip. The blue jean strip is from an old pair of jeans that I tore up because they were useless anyway. And the stamp was a prize I won at a crop a while back and I used white cardstock from my scraps pile. The only thing I actually paid for would be the ink :)

I live my life behind a camera. I love to photograph anything and everything. It's important to me for memories to be documented. I live for that perfect shot that tells the story. The whole story with simple details. And with that shot, there's tangible proof that lives were LIVED!

The font is from Opposite's Attract.

Cherish page... probably my favorite page so far. Journaling reads, "Do you know how much I cherish you? The smiles, the giggles, the attitudes, the surprises, the love, the laughter, and all the rest. I may not have told you before but I do, with all my heart.... I cherish you. Because you gave me them. You gave me my life and I cherish that. I love you Heath.". This is a statement to my husband who without I would not be who I am nor have a reason to wake up in the morning :)

I kept this one sweet and simple with one of my favorite quotes. No journaling from me, just a photo and quote. Easy and to the point.

I know I listed a lot of pages here, this would be for the last 6 days in my 12 day journey. Tomorrow will be the last day :( I'm so sad to see it end but super excited to finish my album and place it in the living room for the kids to read!

I saw a LO like this online a few weeks ago and couldn't wait to try it! This was so much fun to make. All cuts were made from the "Freshly Picked" cartridge. The Gnome was cut at 4.5 ", I stitched his shirt with a black pen and decided to add the same to the belt, shoes, and hat. The flowers are cut at 3.5" and the mushrooms are 3" tall. The font is from "Opposites Attract" cartridge and was cut at 1.5". I can't wait to add photos of my daughter to it with her cousin. Thanks for looking.

Home

It's finally done! This is my first home decor item I've made for my new house. I have framed it in a 10x13 black frame with a white mat around it. For now it is on my mantel but eventually it will go on the wall by the dining table. I scraplifted from THIS blog, eighteen25. This blog is my new fave of the week and a must when checking up on my daily buzz. I'm thinking of making a few more to go with this sign and do a series type thing. But for now, here's what I got! Enjoy!

It's my Puppy

This is probably my favorite "pet" layout I've done. This is my puppy Ophelia (Ophie for short). She is my baby. And she def loves to have her picture taken. She literally posses for me. Anyway, this was so much fun to make and thought you would like it. It's VERY easy too :) I used Plantin to make the circle and Opposites Attract for the LOVE title. Thanks for looking.

Puppy Love

This is one of my favorite layouts of my Ophie. She is always just so happy to get her pictures taken. I scrap lifted this one out of "Easier than ever Scrapbooking Volume 2". Hope you enjoy!
