Fall Leaves

September is such a beautiful month here!  It has been so warm and sunny and the leaves are just starting to turn such lovely shades of red and yellow!

Adrienne Looman for Websters Pages created the perfect collection for scrapbooking all your fall memories:  Family Traditions.  I love the colors and patterns of the paper and you should check out the embellishments....so cute...I can't WAIT to get my hands on them!  Here is a layout I did of my sweet Sienna playing in the leaves last year:

Here are a few detail shots:

I really wanted to have a one, two, three, for her throwing the leaves but she grabbed and threw the leaves so quickly it didn't ever happen in three stages...HA!  So one, two it is :-)

Enjoy your weekend!

Family Stories Layouts

Hello!  Today I am excited to show you a couple of projects I did using the A.M.A.Z.I.N.G Family Stories collection!

The colors in the collection are pretty fabulous!  For my "Butterfly" layout, I reached for the papers with a soft and pretty feel - using the backsides of "Noted", "Doily" "Flower" and "Anchor" papers.  I love the cute "Notecards" paper and cut out the "take note" from there.  I wanted to compliment the pink butterfly on my daughter's face and I found adding a few touches of pink did the trick!

I added my embellishments in groups of three.  Note the three butterflies (with the CUTE sequins in their centre) and the cluster of three on the notecard of a brad, button and enamel dot.  

The best part about this collection is that it can be used for any themed pages!  My next page features the photos I took of my friend and her husband when they were expecting.  This time, I wanted to bring in some of the richer colors to pop against the black in the photos!

There are so many embellishments in this collection that makes me feel like a kid in a candy store!  I think I have a little bit of everything on this page:  Chipboard, brads, enamel dots, die-cuts, stickers, and my favorite...the envelopes!!!  A perfect spot to tuck in that ultrasound photo :-)

Here is another closeup so you can see more of the delicious embellishments in more detail:

Well I hope you RUN to the nearest scrapbook store and pick up this collection!  You will LOVE it and reach for it over and over for all of your FAMILY STORIES!!!

September Back to School and MCS Reveal!

Hello September...well summer just sort of flew on by, didn't it?  The girls are super excited to be back at school...here they are on the first day:

I, however, am already missing the lake and missing the much more leisure mornings!

September also brings a new reveal from My Creative Scrapbook!  Check out this super fun Creative Kit:

I love the perfect mix of Echo Park's Here and Now collection with Fancy Pants Designs Wonderful Day.  I sure had a blast working with this kit:

Head on over to the My Creative Scrapbook Website to grab a kit and to see all the amazing work the team did this month!

A couple of cards!

I have been having so much fun playing with my new Webster's Pages goodies!  Today I have a couple of cards to share!  First up is uses the It's Christmas collection:

I cut out a couple of snowflakes from the patterned paper as well as an ornament that I added a bit string to!

My next card features the Recorded collection.  The colors in this collection are so fun!  I grabbed the patterned papers on the softer side for this heart themed card!

Today, I dedicate this card to my sweet husband.  I love you!  His mom passed away a couple of days ago so it has been a tremendously difficult time for him and of course for my girls, losing their grandma.

Have a wonderful weekend with those you love!
