Lovely October

Gossamer Blue offered up some amazing kits for October....I went a little bonkers with my order :) Sno-Cone This is one that I don't love now that I see a pic of it.  Ever have those moments? Dear A layout about my BFF's husband.  Miss Q calls him Dear.  I call him a pain in the buns, but love him anyways! 40 & FAB My sweet Winif turned 40 this month, I had to do a...

Little Johnny

My dad's lady friend's son-in-law has a farm (with me so far?) so Miss Q and I took a trip out there to meet this gorgeous fella. Little Johnny is the name, being mini horse is my game. Isn't he just a doll?  I SO want a mini horse in the backya...

Yet Another Layout

I still have loads of Gossamer Blue's September kit and, because it is soooo awesome, I plan to keep working through it until there's nothing left. This is a layout of my fantastic father-in-law and Miss Q's #1 fella (after Daddy of course), GRAMPY. I just received the GB October kits on Monday and did this girl load up or what?!?!  There was so much amazing stuff when I opened the box I...

I've been a busy bee using up the September Gossamer Blue kits!  Here's all the layouts I've made, and I still have plenty of product left to do some more!  September's kits have been some of my favorites...Gossamer Blue nailed it once again :)  But first, here's a few fromAugust's kits: Right Here Away We Go!

July P12

Hello August, when did you get here? I completed the July P12 for Gossamer Blue and finally remembered to post it, so here goes nothing ;)  Here's the two page layout, I'm having difficulty getting a clear pic with my iPhone, but I will overcome!!! Right side, includes photos of our tree removal early in the month, my lil' firecracker and parade pics. Left side shows tons of family...

I'm a Winner! (Sometimes)

So the super fun Heather Goldiecar did a post with some of her awesome layouts...I commented on the post because she had a layout dedicated to Sanuk flips, which are my all time favorite flips.  EVER.  And guess what happened?  I WON SOME HAPPY MAIL! (Please ignore the wee baby hand snagging stuff from the pile o' loot.) So yeah, I got a ton of awesome papers and embellies...

Whew! Some days it's a marathon...

OF SCRAPPING! I finished another three layouts from my Gossamer Blue July kits.  First up is 3 Generations, a layout featuring my super cute, bubble-blowing hubby, Miss Q and my youthful mother-in-law. Next is We Are Related...it seems not a one of us looks alike in my family, but we can sure make stupid faces!!!  My sister Amy is on the right and my nieces Shelby (dark hair) and Katie...

Gossamer Blue, Layout Two

I LUUUUURRRRRRVVVVE the colors in the July kits!  So gorgeous, really. After photographing the layout, I'm not real sure I like the ink splatters, but whaddya gonna do?  The vellum paper is lovely, so I cut up the strip and used it to make a banner (shocker!), and the clouds are really to die for.  Looking at the photos I can't believe my Q was that tiny way back in December!  She...

Gossamer Blue Pinterest Challenge

I skipped last month's GB Pinterest challenge, so I had to jump on this month's challenge super-quick so I could be sure to get my entry in!  I opted to use a color scheme chosen by the fabulous Emily rather then search for one of my own; I find that Em's inspirations are spot-on and easy to work with, so I went with this one: Here's my take on the colors: The background has the darker...

Fab 5

I was able to bust out 5, count'em 5 layouts with the June Gossamer Blue kits! Let's get to it... Chicken Feet  Amazing Quinn Starring in Her First Summer  Fun  Dear Grandma Feeling the Love Love Love June 13 GB Sketch Challenge And just totally realized I mis-spelled nieces.  HOW EMBARRASSING. Life is crazy busy right now, and some days I feel like I'm not even...

Two More Layouts....finally

I'm cutting it close to the wire to make the date for the Gossamer Blue monthly album challenge.  I finished my last two layouts last night and just got them uploaded to the Flickr gallery: I'll get my May Project 12 completed tonight and I think I"ll be sitting good for the month.  I've only had a minute to check out the June kit, which arrived last week.  I'm just running like...

Is May the craziest month ever for you, too?

So, it seems like everyone and their uncle graduated this May.  Fortunately for me, Gossamer Blue had just the perfect kits this month for all those grads! I used the GB kits to create 3 graduation cards and a birthday card.  Here's the grad cards:  This was for my nephew Kale's 8th grade promotion.  Back in my day, they called it 8th grade graduation!  Why the change?...

I {heart} Just Em

Emily Spahn of Just Em is absolutely amaze-balls.  She's all sorts of a cool mom, makes awesome, colorful and full-of-whimsy scrapbook pages, and loves macaroni and cheese.  The cherry on top to all this?  Emily designs for Gossamer Blue too!  I love her monthly Pinterest challenges that give me a jumping off point with my layout, and get me to do something I probably wouldn't...

P12: April

So I finally finished my Gossamer Blue Project 12....it seemed as if it took forever!  But in reality, these pocket style pages and scrapping this way really is quite quick and easy.  I think people new to scrapbooking and memory keeping would really enjoy this without feeling overwhelmed.  So, here's what I cooked up: I really like using my monthly GB kits for my P12, I already have...

Gossamer Blue April Kit Layouts

So I finally got my Gossamer Blue April kits put together for some layouts, and I have to say I rather enjoyed using the Maggie Holmes photo frames.  I've always liked photo frames, but had difficulty using them.  I think I overcame my mental block with the frames and used them in some fun ways. Here I used three frames, using one for the Instagram picture, one for the title, "Bow," and...
