They love her already!! I've had this paper forever, and finaly decided to use it!! I made the bird and hearts, laced the pearls around perimeter, added some Prima hearts and felt piece, and some lace! Thanks so much for stoppin' by!!

1953.....

The year I was born!! This is an old pic I found, and had to use the Graphic 45 line with it's vintage feel! And yesterday I was honored to be the featured artist at the Graphic 45 site!! What an honor....I so love their line of papers, they have such a vintage feel to them!! They are coming out with some new lines, one being Christmas......cannot wait to get my hands on them!! Did alot of cut work, added some Zva crystals, made title letters, and added some lace for even more vintage feel!! Thanks so much for stoppin'' by!!

Family

These are some pics of my daughter's family! I used Webster's Pages on this lo. I did alot of cut work, made the title letters, did some heavy chalking, did the scalloped edges, and added some lace for a more vintage feel!! thanks so much for stoppin' by!!

My little Darling!

This is my grandson Jacob, and his cat taking, a Cat Nap!!! Love the colors in this picture, and they went perfect with this Wild Asparagus paper that I've had for quite sometime! Did my scalloped edges, chalked the papers, and did some heavy duty cut work too! thanks so much for stoppin' by!!

Me..............

Wow.......this is the first lo I've been able to do in about 3 weeks!! Was fun too!! I found these old pics of myself, and decided to do a vintage with them/!! I used some older Graphic 45 papers I had because they had a soft muted color to them to go with the vintage feel!! I used some Prima flowers, added a little bling, and di the scallopped edges which I love to do, since it relaxes me! I distressed the papers, and also chalked them. I added some tea dyed lace to help round out the lo!! Thanks so much for stoppin' by!!

Spring 2009

Been working the last week or so to get my flowers weeded!!! I let the garden go just a little too long, so it's been a bit of a nightmare getting caught up!! I did a little something different with the Webster's Pages.......sort of a new, meets Vintage attempt! I distressed the Webster's, then I used some pages from an old book I have, chalked them, distressed them and layered them around lo! I added some cut work, a little fairy, and a broom for some whimsy!! Thanks so much for stoppin' by!

Nature....the great outdoors!

I love this picture of my grandson at our favorite lake last summer! Love the shadow effect on him, with lake in the background!! I really wanted a vintage feel to this, so I tea dyed the lace and just glued it down how it laid there! Then I really layered the papers and distressed them quite heavy. I also took some ribbon and jute and laced it through the scalloped edge of background paper. I wasn't happy with how clean the upper right corner of music paper looked, so I poured some of my tea into a saucer, then set my teacup in it, then set it on the lo........looks like the lo's been around forever now!! Pretty easy fix!! Thanks so much for stoppin' by!!
