Joy

*Happy Friday* Finally the weekend is upon us...and it finally feels like Spring here in Northern California. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful family and friends. I have made this LO to showcase the importance of a simple teddy bear in my son's life since he was one year old. He just loves Bearly the bear. I used many techniques from distressing by using Tim Holtz inks to wrinkleling the paper. Enjoy and please leave a comment I do love to read them!

Products used: K& Co. paper and chipboard, Prima clearly paintables and flowers, Heidi Swapp bling, Elmers metallic paint, Wrights ribbon, Misc large flowers.

Paper Folding Roses Tutorial

Hi, I have seen many beautiful Layouts using paper folding and I always ask how do make those?? well after a little research I came across a tutorial in the splitcoast stampers. The instructions are wonderful. Here is the linkhttp://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/dahlia_fold/

the image above is from the slipcoast tutorial.

Chilf of GOD

A funny story about creating this LO* I used the burning technique and since I always burn food when my husband saw me burn the paper he said "you are the right person for that job" I'm glad we can laugh at each other and not take it personal...

Finally it seems like my huge pile of pictures are starting to get smaller...then again I love taking pictures of my two beautiful children. This photo was taken the day we baptised our son...it's been nearly four years since and I am just now scrapbooking it. I used papers and flowers from K&Co, Prima flowers and transparency, Tim Holtz distressing ink, Fishkars punch, Making Memories tiny stickers, Wrights pearls and lace and a metallic marker from Elmers.

We love your natural beauty...

Hi, I hope you had a great week!! I had an awesome week, I received my first montly kit from My Creative Srapbook and it's absolutely beautiful. I'm in love with the wonderful products from Crate papers. I used them to make this wonderful LO of my DD and the boys in her life...I love those pictures; they were taken in Disneyland California two years ago...wow time FLIES!
