You & Me

My beautiful baby boy, only eight or nine short years ago!  Craziness.  <3

Sparkle and Shine Christmas Card

I have a background die that cuts tiny holes as a gentle snowfall… This time, I cut it through plastic (you can buy cheap plastic binder dividers from Dollar Tree for this trick!), and then was able to use it with different shades of ink to make snow falling over the city. Some lovely silver heat embossing really added some shine.

Happy Christmas

This layout is for the same album as the last layout–but this spread is specifically for Christmas Day memories. Reading the Christmas story, handmade hooded towels from Grandma, the awesome yellow Humvee, and a letter from Santa. <3

December 2015 Month In Review

Sharing a layout from my 2015 Month in Review album. This one was just general December memories. I feel like I definitely need to add some journaling, though! We painted with pom poms to make Christmas trees with ornaments, met our family’s elf, Clementine, and sang at church. So fun. And I had fun playing with all the blinged out elements, here, too! Foiled polka dot cardstock, foiled embellishments, a couple glittery enamel dots, and gold foil borders. <3

They were so little and precious. Aughhhhhh. :/

Love Grows Here

A Diamond is Forever

I added journaling after the fact that explained how I looked down while driving and my diamond had fallen out of my engagement ring.  When I got back in the car later, it was waiting for me in the center console! I wore my Grandmother’s engagement ring while my set was fixed.
