I am finally uploading my latest layouts! I didn't finish all of these today. I did the "For Me" layout today though :). This first one here is my oldest son Chris and his girlfriend Kacey Before heading out to their Senior Prom. They make such a cute couple.

This is to show the detail of the ruffled paper

My youngest daughter riding her bike and posing for me :)

This one I did finish today and I love how it turned out. I sewed on it and hand stitched the swirls. I can't wait to show it to Kacey :)

This one cracks me up. My kids like to run through the ditch in front of our house and eventually "slide" in it. Look at the wave of water they created! LOL

I almost titled this one "Perfect 10". Something about her coming out of the water like this reminded me of Bo Derek in "10" . It just seemed weird to put that on a layout about my daughter, but I think it every time I see this page.

Sarah, how I love that you like to have your picture taken. I have lots of layouts of Sarah. If my other kids ever complain, I will simply remind them of when they ran from me, covered their faces or otherwise avoided my camera's lens. This time we were baking Banana Muffins. They were delicious.

No school year would be complete without a Back To School Layout. Imagine my surprise at finishing it mere days from taking the photos! lol.

That's all from me today. Tomorrow we are going to Grandpa's Birthday Party. He is 81 Years old!! I hope I get some awesome photos of everyone. Have a fun and safe Labor day everyone. Hugs to my peeps out there :)

PS- I know I used sketches on some these and I do believe they were from Susan Stringfellow at http://www.sketchsavvy.blogspot.com/ and a layout I loved by Jana Eubanks at www.frommyfeatherednest.blogspot.com

I made a card and forgot to post it O.o

I saw a tut at http://www.serendipityscrapbooks.com/ for making tissue paper flowers. I had to try it and as blue tissue paper is all I had on hand, that is what I used. I added some Iris Blue or Blue Iris chalk ink to the edges and some silver stickles as well. Then I layered the circles and kinda crunched em all up (after the stickles were dry, of course). Then I punched 3 holes in each flower with my cropodile (how I love that tool!). I wanted a little something different than usual for the flowers center, so I popped some snaps in the holes. The rest is just paper, pearls, thickers and alpha stickers. Oh and ribbon, you gotta have ribbon :)

Thanks for having a looksy! I am off to the craft closet to create a layout or two :) Hope you are having a fantastic day :) For those keeping count, I worked out today :) Can I just tell ya, my favorite thing about exercising is the moment I get to rip my sweaty clothes off and take a refreshing shower. Sorry it that is TMI, (too much information), I turned off my inner filter today. With that I am off like a dirty shirt :D hehehehehe
