Gentleness

I LOVE this photo of Isaak and Lola. It is so hard to get a nice photo of Isaak these days- he's always hiding his face or sticking out his tongue...........teenagers!!!

Lola just adores her big brother!!!

Brads, Twine, Jewels: your guess is as good as mine!!

A Layout at last

I have again taken a break from Scrapbooking- not really sure why because I love it SOOOO much. Well I'm back in a BIG way- I did 3 layouts over the weekend .

This one is one of my favourite pics of Lola- this was a few months ago when she was just learning how to manipulate me with her pouts!!!!!

I got this kit- Let's Pretend from Imaginisce- it had all kinds of cool stuff inside and I loved the bright cheery colours!!. It had these little rhinestones, Flowers, Brads, Rub-ons etc!!!

Chipboard and cardstock is Bazzill.

Kristina Werner Color Inspiration #7

I actually made a card this week- alert the media!!!

I have been in a FUNK partially because my back is killing me and I think I've lost my mojo.........

Well, anyways I decided that I was going to go Kristina's Challenge this week- I just LOVE these and its a great way to discover yummy combos to use again and again.

You can see her post HERE

I used Stampin Up cardstock in Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla and Soft Sky.

The stamps were stamped with Very Vanilla Craft ink with Papertrey Ink's Polka Dot Basics.

The cute little flower was actually handmade, I had purchased a few of these at Scrapfest a couple weeks ago- I thought this was the perfect card to use it on.

Ribbon is American Crafts, I also used Doodle Bug paper frills and a Doodle Bug brad.
