My Acrylic Album Heart Buttons

I love these acrylic heart buttons from My Acrylic Album! They are so cute and so much fun to work with. I used the Tim Holtz alcohol ink (cranberry) and mixed it with the Tim Holtz Mixatives (copper). I love the look I got! Here is a close-up photo of one of the MAA heart buttons on my layout.

Tinkering Ink Beloved

I created these 5 cards for my design team at Scrapadilly. I used two different pattern papers from the Tinkering Ink Beloved line. All of these pattern papers from this line are double sided. Using both sides of the Sentimental paper and the Embrace paper I was able to get 4 different pattern papers to use on my cards. I also love the look of all the layered Awesome Blossoms. You can never have too many flowers!

My Acrylic Album Night On the Town

This is the Night On the Town dress acrylic album from My Acrylic Album. I created this album for my design team at My Acrylic Album. At first I was alittle freaked out from the fact that they sent me a "dress" album. Anyone who knows me knows I don't like to wear dresses. LOL! But I desided to just let the ideas flow and I came up with the idea to scrap old photos of my daughter when she was only a month old and I took so many different pictures of her in her cute little dresses. By the way my daughter is now 12. LOL! Thanks so much for looking.

3 Bugs In A Rug & American Crafts (girl layouts)

Whenever I have birthday pictures of my kids to scrapbook that means I have to do two layouts for each kid. One layout for my album and one layout for their albums. These pictures are from 2007. I had my two favorite pictures of Marissa blowing out her candles so I decided to use both pictures on both of our layouts. I also kept the design about the same because I loved how my first layout turned out. Thank you so much for looking. Tomorrow I will post my son's birthday layouts.

In 7 years time

It's amazing looking back to see how much Erik has grown. When he was born he was so tiny! Seeing this photo of him when he was only a day old with his first little teddy bear I got the idea to take his picture again with the same teddy bear. He looks so tiny next to that teddy bear in the first photo compared to his photo now. I plan to scrap these photos on a layout together.

Erik: 1 day old

Erik: 7 years old
