TGIF!

I am happy to be warm and cozy sitting here in my house and watching the snow fall! We made the executive decision to keep Brenna home so I don't have to drive on the narrow and steep roads to get her to school for three hours.

I just finished two layouts I thought I would share!


My favorite thing (right now) is clustering embellishments. Love how this turned out. My sweet girl is getting so big!

supplies used: Making Memories and Teresa Collins pp, Basic Grey borders, Glimmer Mist in tutti-frutti, Maya Road stick pin, Tattered Angels chipboard wings, Making Memories sequined heart and Dear Lizzy chipboard glittered alphas.


Another Brenna layout, but don't worry, there are just as much for Brooke! This took about 20 minutes to do from start to finish. love that!

Supplies: Bazzill Basics Cardstock, Sassafrass pp (i think!), paint by Apple Barrel, Chipboard letters unknown, decorative tape by Basic Grey, and Making Memories butterflies. The stitching is actually done by my handy dandy Sharpie.

One of my new year intentions is to just take pictures! I broke my lens on my Nikon over a year ago, and we ended up purchasing a cheapy little Kodak for eBay and such but it was a huge bust at getting good pictures of the kids. So on Christmas morning, Brooke thought she'd keep things interesting (because opening tons of gifts isn't enough fun) and took Jeno's cup of coffee and dumped it right onto the camera. Adios! My sister in law came to my rescue and has let me borrow her Canon until I buy another lens for my Nikon and I love how it takes pictures! What a huge difference!
I snapped these on New Year's Day:



Gee, they are so pretty!! Don't you think?
I'm heading upstairs to play with the kids. Baby dolls, polly pockets and dominos are waiting!!
Have a great day and stay safe!!
