Sisters Friends

I think out of all of the Grad pictures this year, the girls all like this one the most. It is three sisters that love and care about each other and two that are so happy and proud of the third one. I do have absolutely beautiful daughters don't I?

Ready, Set, Smile or Not & Peace Out

Some recent snaps of two of my girls. Faith had her hair curled while looking for her grad hairstyle. She loved it, so I snapped a few pictures of her. Her personality definately shines through in this pictures. She is so much fun. We had a blast taking and looking at these pictures. Man, she should be an actress -- but she wants to be a lawyer. Cool! Then Sky triple barrelled her hair for Easter and wanted some pictures, so I took them. Too bad it was outside and dark. In the original pictures you can see her hair; but on this you can't. It really looks nice. This is a typical pose for her. PEACE OUT!!!!

Bikini Summer & You

I posted this earlier and just noticed that I had the same picture twice, so I just redid it. I have been going through old pictures and am enjoying this line of paper because it isn't so bright; but still bright.

My Kids - As Kids

I have found some more endearing pictures of my girls and am slowly getting them done. Again, using paper from home, I have created a few more children layouts. This first one is of Sky in the Baby Crawl. What a cute little munchkin. Love the baby colors.

Sky also has many expressions and always has ever since she was tiny. So I did this page because it is so her. All I had to do was add the striped paper which ended up looking like ribbons and then added some bling, flowers and some rub-ons. Again, scraps and stash from looking through stuff. Good title for my life: Scraps, Stash and Stuff.

Then there is this page of Faith in an outfit that Gram made for her. Must be where I got my love of crafting . . . watching Mom sew and knit and crochet. Now she does watercolor. My girls were so lucky to have my mom sew them these cute outfits. This was a new line of paper with old embellies.

Found some old pictures of the girls playing with their Polly Pocket Dolls in the basement closet. They used to love this. If they disappeared for awhile, I knew they were down their in their own little world of dollies. I added a few inches of ribbon, a rub-on and some buttons. Makes for a cute page . . . simple and effective.

1999 - 2000

I found some old photographs and have begun trying to get some of them on paper. After a few hours, I figured out what year of school this was. The girls were in Grades 1, 3 and 4 at St. Luke School. I decided to scrapbook them together because of the picture of the three of them in the van on the way to school. The pictures in school were very green because of the lights so I scrapbooked in green to take the tones away. Man they grow up quick: they are finishing their Grade 8, 10 and 11 years right now.

Celebrate

Again, with all of the new paper arriving at the store and me getting a few photographs last week, somehow I managed to get a couple of pages done over the Prima Party weekend. This page was really easy since the background was from the same line as the patterned paper. The three patterned papers are a part of a quad from the same line. I used the three on the background and the fourth quad was the two flowerful corners that I also used on the page. Then I added some new Prima flowers, leaves and ribbon.

Smile

A doodled page (white Gel pen) with a bit of patterned paper. Janys laughed at me because I finished this page in an hour or so. Cute, fun and therapeutic (with all of the doodling).

I Am Thankful for My Beautiful Daughters

I found this page in the store today and wasn't sure if I had put it on my blog. So, it is a bit late but up now. It isn't too often that you see all of us girls in dresses. I used a bit of everything on this page. I have so much product, that I have decided to try to use it all up. That is really hard though with new product arriving in the store.

Precious Moments

Faith had these "crazy" pink plaid pants on this day which popped right out of every picture . . . so I used a bunch of pink, purple and green flowers to "disguise" them. Eventhough the page is about horseback riding . . . it is girly and pretty and I like it. I used some new paper and a new rub on for the title and cut flowers and butterflies out of a matching piece of paper, added some fun ribbon and leftover rub on words . . . done . . . fun . . . hope they like it . . . 'cause I had fun making it. That's it. Five new pages . . . I feel better . . . love the scrapbooking therapy.

Dishes

Okay, okay, I dropped the ball on the journalling this weekend; but I had a blast doing pages. Faith and Jade doing the dishes at Gramma's house. Look at my girls -- cool! Besides one new patterned paper, everything else was mine and I used up some stuff and made a page I liked. The memories were wonderful. May add some journalling later. I was just enjoying cutting and pasting this weekend.

Beautiful, Stubborn, Sassy, Random . . . GIRLS

Man, I've been trying to use this new line of paper since we got it in; but my girls don't really wear these colors. I grabbed my favorite picture of my girls and made it work. I love this photo because it really shows what they are like at any given time. Faith usually is making some kind of a face because her sisters are being "stupid", Sky is usually acting "silly" and Jade is "somewhere else" in her own thoughts. Eventhough I finally managed a good picture of them all looking and smiling; I prefer this one because it captures "THEM". I doodled around the "GIRLS", the flowers, the photo, the corners etc., I really enjoyed creating this layout. Might put some bling on the scallops.
