Sharing a few of my favorite layouts from 2014!  The editing isn't stellar on some pics, but you get the general idea. And finally there's this one, created with the Gossamer Blue January kits which went on sale for subscribers TODAY! Happy New Year Friends!  Wishing you all the best in 201...

Together is a Wonderful Place to Be

Hello!  I'm up on the A Walk Down Memory Lane blog sharing this colorful layout featuring Simple Stories, Amy Tangerine and Sew Easy products.  Click HERE to read the how-to for creating this layout on A Walk Down Memory Lane's blog. I created this as a reminder of just how wonderful my girlfriends are.  We have 20+ years as friends and I love them more now than I ever have!  And...

Vintage Vibe Layout

In the hustle and bustle of Christmas preparations I completely forgot to post this layout made for A Walk Down Memory Lane blog! I used a few different Jillibean Soup collections to put this together, along with some floss and needles from Sew Easy. How was your Christmas?  Miss Q had a blast and received lots of presents!  We've celebrated Christmas twice so far, with one Christmas...

Gossamer Blue Me! Layout

I created this layout using the December Main Kit  (<----- click words to go to the kit) from Gossamer Blue.  I LOVED the Makers Gonna Make exclusive cork piece and I thought it fitting for a layout about me and my right now.  I used two other exclusive cork pieces from the kit and a bunch of Amy Tangerine die cuts.  A few gold ink splatters and it was done.  The Main...

Gossamer Blue Gramercy Road Collection

My hubs and I took an overnight trip to Denver for our anniversary this past October.  We were in downtown Denver to visit his favorite record store, Wax Trax, and I snapped this photo intending to capture the street sign, but instead got the beautiful blue October sky.  It was such a gorgeous morning. The Gramercy Road collection by Gossamer Blue really captured the feeling of the photo,...

December Memories Week Two

I have another week done and in the book!  Woo-hoo!  Have I mentioned how much I love Gossamer Blue December Memories???  This is Year 3 for me on this project, and I believe this is the best one yet :) Day 7 The photo prompt was Giving (I'm using Rebekah's December Captures List HERE).  The bottom pocket will probably stay like that because who doesn't love Fa La La La...

December Memories Album Cover

Just a quick note to share my Gossamer Blue December Memories album cover. I really liked the look of the album when it arrived, so I knew I wasn't going to cover it or paint it. That left me with embellishing it. Embellishing covers is over-whelming to me (I have no idea why) so I went with a technique I've been doing a lot of lately:  Heat embossing!  I used Ranger gold glitter on the...

One Little Word

Most people who scrapbook and are memory keepers are familiar with Ali Edwards One Little Word.  I won't go through the ins and outs of it, you can definitely read Ali's thoughts in several places on her blog HERE, but I was just soaking in a delicious hot bath and it hit me that I need a word for 2015. I've had a lot of personal changes in 2014; nothing major, just new things in my life as...

December Memories Album: Week 1

I have been working away like a good little Elf on my Gossamer Blue December Memories Album! This is the cover page.  I love that GB offered up a title page that could be left as-is or embellished.  I chose to add a few sequins and plaid enamel dots. I added a wood veneer and puffy plaid "K" on the back side of the cover page.  For Day 1 I included a 4x6 card pre-printed...

Kinda Cloudy

Happy Monday! I created this layout for Gossamer Blue using the lovely, dreamy December Kits. This layout came out totally different from my intentions, but it captured a moment in our life that is totally real.  Anyone who knows a 2.5-3 year old knows about the ups and downs, the curve balls, the general moodiness of life with kiddos that age.  My Q is all that plus a little extra...

Gossamer Blue December Rewind

The December rewind was inspired by the colors in the photo of my sweet girl: purples, yellows and oranges. The Gossamer Blue December kits have beautiful neutrals (I believe these are my favorite kits in the history of GB!) and I wanted to keep the layout soft, so I decided to mix in the Gossamer Blue exclusives from the November kits. I printed the designs by Traci Reed on vellum and used...
