Sweet Baby Girl

Isn't she just as cute as a button? I just love this picture of Myah and her baby doll. For this layout I used paper from "Grandmas Kitchen Collection & scraps of Bazzil Cardstock. The banner was made from a stamp set I won on Citrus Tree Studio. Yep, I made a banner layout Kristie! LOL

Hi my blogger friends.......

Hi my sweet blogger friends...I finally have time to blog again. :) Hope y'all haven't forgotten me.  We have had a house full of company and things are finally getting back to normal again. It was great seeing all the kids, but whew..they tuckered me out. LOL

 I also have been working at our local Michael's store as their Scrapbook Teacher. I'm having a blast, but haven't had a lot of time to devote to my personal scrapping. I did however submit a couple of layouts and a card to Scrapbook News & Reviews and all of them were choosen for there upcoming issue. Super excited about that!

Here are a few new pictures that I have taken lately. Hope ya enjoy!

 These are pictures of a beautiful church we visited while in Savannah, Georgia.

  I love this picture of the gator..he looks like he was posing for the camera!

 Gorgeous Sunset at Harbor Town, South Carolina.

 The moth is a Luna Moth and is hardly ever seen, so I consider myself lucky to have gotten this picture.

   The White Egret I caught him fishing just outside our condo...I have been wanting to capture a picture like this forever.

Prima Altered Book...

Just a lil something I made for my Mother-in-law for Mother's Day! I started with a very old book I found at the library. I tore out the center pages, then starting at the beginning of the book, I glued the pages together and did the same at the back of the book. I then curled the edges and sprayed the entire book with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Coffee Shop. After it was dry I covered the outside of the book with Prima papers and added the touches to the inside of the book.

White With 1 Challenge....

I'm so loving these challenges over at White With 1. It's amazing once you start going through your stash how much of a certain color you have. This weeks challenge was to use White... with Orange & Scallops.  To get the painted look in the background. I took wax paper and trimmed it to the size I wanted, then crinkled it up and applied a lite coat of white paint to it. I then applied light pressure to the paper once it was on the paper and carefully lifted it off. I totally love how it looks. I also used the leftover wax paper for the scallops...I thought it reflected the look of the drangonflies wings.

The quote says:

If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere.

Happy Crafting!
