a trickle of layouts

 Only a few layouts to share right now but I am itching to make some more, so keep checking back just in case *wink*

  Two layouts using similar papers and embellishments but different photos. These are the original pregnancy tests from 1992 and 1995! I made the teddy bears by hand and used them for my props LOL. btw the cream mini doilies were made by me too.


 A simple layout documenting another one of the wonderful things my teenage son says. (oops I didn't realise the little strips at the top were so crooked) 
 
 I am still making 'Photos I Love' layouts using scraps but this year I am using an embellishment to match the theme of the photo instead of the large red heart like in 2012.


 A layout couldn't get any simpler but is a great way to document some 7th birthday fun

No longer a teenager

This passed weekend our daughter turned 20! I can still remember the first time I saw her all those years ago in the delivery room and how I cried tears of joy when I said to Ross, "you have got your baby girl".

All Alyse wanted this year was cash so I used Pinterest to inspire me how to 'wrap' the cash and this is what I came up with...

*the caption was stolen my cousins Nicki and Becca*.
And to decorate the store-bought cake I quickly located one photo from every year of Alyse's life (thank goodness for Finding Photo Freedom and my category drawers) and created photo strips which I glued to a kebab skewer, plus a quick and easy tag.
