Gossamer Blue September Sneaks

Oh me oh my.  September is going to be a happy month for scrapping!  Here's a few sneaks of layouts I made with the September Gossamer Blue kits.  This month my layouts are made up of about an 80/20 mix of scrapbook kits vs life pages kits. The color palette is is very pretty.  I don't have a better word for it and I think pretty sums it up very well.  I've come...

Gossamer Blue "S is For Aunt Susie"

I used the delicious washi tape from the August Gossamer Blue kits three ways for this sunshiney layout featuring one of my sisters and Miss Q.  The cloud paper from October Afternoon is just so happy!  Read my how-to HERE on the Gossamer Blue blog.

Five on Friday

I've never done a Five on Friday post before, but have read several from other bloggers I admire.  I have a few thoughts going through my head this morning and want to share! 1.  Fall is in the air.  We've had a bit of cooling off in Kansas this week and it's making me so anxious for Fall and my favorite time of year.  The temps next week are back to typical August, but this week...

AWDML: You, My Brown Eyed Girl

Tuesday AGAIN!  I've got a video (and a major blooper) on the A Walk Down Memory Lane blog HERE.   I just love my girly's big dark eyes.  I remember waking up one time when she was still tiny, I had to use the bathroom and when I crept back into our bedroom there were these big, brown, baby eyes looking right at me.  She didn't make a peep, just looked right at me and started...

Project 12: 7

I completed by July Project 12 layout using Life Pages kits from Gossamer Blue.   Here's the 12x12 two page spread. Individual photos of each 12x12 pocket page: July also has one insert, this is a photo of the front and back of the approx. 7x12 insert. I prefer to use pocket pages from We R Memory Keepers as I find them to be the best quality and most consistent pocket size....

Gossamer Blue: Front Porch Playing

Another layout using August kits from Gossamer Blue.   This was a quiet moment with my girly, she was so happy digging in her cloud dough on the porch.  We had just returned from my hometown where we had several days of go-go-go and when we came home it was nice to have quiet.  Miss Q had spent 2 hours in the recliner and truly, didn't move an inch.  She perked up a bit after...

AWDML: I want to fill my heart

This layout means so much to me because it captures the true relationship between my friend Angie and I--she makes me laugh until I cry and my stomach hurts!  She's the best in every way.  Love her so, so much!  Read the how-to for this page at A Walk Down Memory Lane blog HERE. ...
