Two Page Scrapbook Layout - "Celebrate Love"

The only thing as good as being blessed with raising two sons, is gaining daughters when they find that special, lovely girl and bring her into the family!! My "baby" boy got married a little over a year ago and we definitely think she's a keeper. It's always interesting when the family dynamics change, but she's definitely been a sweet addition.

These pictures are from a beautiful bridal shower that her family threw for her. We had a great time celebrating this young lady and the love that her and my son share.

 It was so fun to spend time with my oldest daughter-in-love and my sweet granddaughter too! Look at her dancing in front of the mirror. I love her spunk and the way she is all girl, but tough when she needs to be! All of these young ladies bring such joy to my life!!! It used to be I was the only female in our family, raising two boys.... but now I'm so blessed to have these two young ladies and granddaughter to share life with.

 I pray that we will continue to grow closer and that I will shine a light in their life in any way that I can. I don't want to be a just a "mother-in-law", but a second Mom who makes a difference and leaves a special mark on their life. Somebody that they cherish and enjoy spending time with too. So here's to all the special ladies in your life (both young and old)!

I hope you like this layout. I love all the pennants and J & K banner in the upper left. I was able to get 10 pictures on here and still add some fun embellishments.

Two Page Scrapbook Layout - "Hugs & Kisses"

These two little munchkins have my heart!! I can't believe I haven't shared this one before now. I must have blinked because now they're 4 and 6 years old. 

 These two are the most adorable and precious handful EVER! This Grandma gig is truly a joy!

 This was Valentines Day 2015. I created special treat bags for them both. Scarlet's was an owl and Sawyer's a fox. Sissy seems to like Sawyer's cars in this picture as much as she liked her pink unicorn.

I raised two boys (no girls), so the pink lace, washi and other feminine touches were pretty new to me at that time!! 😍They'll never get old!! Poor Sawyer will just have to deal with it, I guess. And who knew how cute it would be to just fold over some ribbon or ball fringe and attach it randomly to a page.Except for the sweet faces, it may be my favorite part of the layout.

Happy Valentines Day!! Go squeeze somebody you love! Pamper yourself and your loved ones! ❤❤❤

two page scrapbook layout - "Celebrate Love"

Here's a fun layout from the night my son and daughter-in-love got engaged. They're pretty cute!!!

 My son bought them a photo shoot for Christmas, and then planned out the entire proposal with the photographer. We weren't a part of all of that, but we met them later for dinner with both families.

 These two make a great pair and we're so excited that they found each other!

 It's impossible to see the sheen here, but I used Wink of Stella on the heart banner to set it off. The photo just made it look muddy.

 I probably should have added another wallet size photo to the right, or some additional journaling. I'm trying to make peace with the white space...lol.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I think I have some layouts from the actual photo shoot. I'm not sure I've photographed them yet, but I'll be sharing them here at some point.

Two Page Scrapbook Layout - "Adorable"

Look at these two lovebirds! This is my youngest and his then girlfriend. Now, they are engaged and planning to tie the knot in October. I'm very proud of these two and happy they've found each other.

This layout is from Easter 2015.  It was a beautiful day for photos!

 I believe the title and bunnies are from Kate's ABC's. The little white cotton tail ball fringe was perfect for Easter.

 I'm a bit obsessed with the blue and green color combo! So fresh and springy!!

A little bit of Washi helped to Anchor it at the bottom. One of many more layouts to come with these two cuties! It's been fun to watch their relationship grow.

Two Page Scrapbook Layout - "Live Laugh Love"

Today is our 31st wedding anniversary! I'm still crazy about this guy! He's the best gift the Lord ever gave me. These pictures are from two years ago!

 Trust me...our marriage is not perfect, but we continue to make it a priority and to love each other unconditionally. He's definitely the better half!! Our retired racing greyhound, Riley, even got in on the action.

 These were all selfies. We set up a tripod and set the timer on the camera. I think they turned out pretty well, and we had fun doing it.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!!! Come back soon. :)

"Adore...Love One Another"

Had lots of fun scrapping Friday night and all day Saturday. We had a good turn out of ladies and we always have fun together. Then on Sunday, my family made the trip to my parent's house for a visit. It is so hard to see their health and mental capacity deteriorate. But it was so good to spend a day chatting and loving on them. It was a very full weekend and I didn't get much done around the house. =( Oh well, there is always another day for cleaning and laundry.
Here's one of the layouts that I worked on this weekend...More of my son's engagement pictures for our family scrapbook.

The right side page (above) will be submitted for the sketch competition on the PageMaps blog. The prize is 50 sheets of Couture Cardstock. I LOVE paper! Thanks for looking.
Here's the left side of my layout which I used for another contest Ingeborg's Scrapbook Contests. These were fun to do. Thanks to my BSBFF, Jodi,, for "loaning" me the Vellum for the heart overlay.I "adore" the way it turned out! LOL! Thanks for checking out my blog.

Mini Album - gift for Cindy!

I did it! My son's fiance, Cindy, has her first bridal shower on Wednesday of this week. I had an all day scrap on Friday and I was able to get it all done. I did take a break for our Good Friday service. I really LOVE the way it turned out! I hope that you enjoy looking at it. If you have followed my blog for awhile some of the photos may look familiar, but they are scrapped into a brand new 8x8 album so the layouts are all new. They are all really simple, but it still took me the entire day and into the night! LOL! Ahem.....until 2am! I hope that she loves it as much as I do.
