A Wink & A Smile!

Sometimes I take a photo and I have a layout in mind just by looking at the picture. In this case Isabella has learned to wink like daddy and I happen to capture it today so once I develope it I will certainly have the title read "A Wink & A Smile".
Check back later as I will post the creation once finished.

It was AJ's Christmas program at church today so I happened to get a couple of quick snapshots of the two by the tree. Isabella was more interested in arranging the chairs to sit on as our first attempt of sitting on the floor in front of the tree didn't work out as they wanted to play with the ornaments. The chairs worked until Isabella decided she wanted to walk across them and stand on them. It was a breif photo shoot but at least I got a couple good ones to capture the moment!

delightful...the feeling inside when I see my children

Here is the Wednesday Unity Challenge I finished. From the background stamps to the title, journal window, candy jars, and I love you tag all of these are fun adorable stamps from UNITY!!! Stamping on my scrapbook pages is my favorite thing to do and with this page I decided to add some fun sparkle too!.

I enjoy creating my own backgrounds by stamping images straight to the page! That way it's an "original" and unlike anything you can buy! Isn't the title of the page awesome, Angela allowed me to have one of these to add to my collection {thank you} and I have so many ideas to put this "huge" stamp to good use!!!





Thank you for stopping by!

3x3 CTMH card

It has been busy lately so I haven't had too much time to post projects even though I have been creating a lot lately. This past week I celebrated my birthday. Another year older...YIKES! I received roses from my children and husband...gotta love that! We had a sitter and enjoyed an evening out just the TWO of us...so I thought. To my surprise he contacted our friends to join us at the restaurant so that was a treat, it's always fun to celebrate with friends!!! I had a great evening.
Here is a card I made for an upcoming event, I love making 3x3 cards, they are such a fun size! They make a great addition to gift bags which seems to be the trend for gift packaging these days. All products are CTMH and the pattern paper is from the Evening Song paper packet which is a favorite of mine from the current idea book.

Thanks for stopping by!!!

More Halloween

Here is a couple more photos from Halloween. The kids had a lot of fun this year and it was nice to have warmer temps to go out and about trick n treatin. One house we visited near ours really spooked the kids good. They were talking about that house the rest of the night, lots and lots of cool decorations and music. Every window had something to see from huge cat eyes, a large mummy in the upstair window, strobe lights, skulls and who knows what else.The pictures don't show the best of it but it is my pick as the best decorated house in town.
