Two Page Scrapbook Layout - "My Brown Eyed Girl"

It's way past time to share this sweetness. Our granddaughter is now three years old, so this layout has been waiting a long time to be shared. Isn't she darling? Those eyes, that face....Yes, this Grandma loves her baby girl.

The flower embellishments are punched with various SU flower punches. Some of the layers are punched from vellum with brads and rhinestones for the flower centers.

 Oh my goodness!!! Cuteness alert!

 Multiple layers of matts help to highlight my favorite picture and the olive scalloped ribbon gives the page additional texture.

We'll have this little darling and her one-year-old baby brother next weekend so my son and daughter-in-law can spend some time away together celebrating their fifth anniversary. I'm so proud of this precious family.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!!

Two Page Scrapbook Layout - "Priceless" Fall Family Photos

Last fall, we took a couple of hours and got some great family portraits. For me, the memories of the shoot itself are just as great as the fabulous photos you get.

It had been rainy all day and I thought we might have to cancel the photographer, but it cleared up half an hour before we got together. The park wasn't too muddy, so it all worked out beautifully.

 I used My Mind's Eye "Lost & Found" because of the rich, traditional blues and gold that matched our clothing perfectly. Most of the embellishments were included with the MME paper pack.I added a few additional punched flowers and a punched "bitty banner" from StampinUp.

 I love the moss on the roof of this building! It was the perfect setting and our photographer is a friend which helped us relax a little. But seriously, how could she go wrong with this ridiculously good looking family??? :)

 

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Stay tuned for more family portrait layouts.

Double Scrapbook Layout - "Family Matters"

Wow...Summer is about gone and I don't feel ready for fall yet. Don't get me wrong, fall is my absolute favorite time of year, but the summer just got here!

I'm still thinking about sunshine, sunburns, and sand between my toes. Here's another layout from our St. Augustine family vacation to share. Maybe this will help summer time live on awhile longer.

 These are a few more shots of our family pictures on the beach. Some of Mark and I and the rest of this whole crazy, beautiful family that we started together so many years ago. Look how we've grown! My favorite part of this page, aside from the pictures, of course, are the little flowers punched from an old map.

 Just punch away at an old map with a scalloped circle punch, spritz them, wad then up, then unfold them and let them dry. A Stampin Up brad popped in the middle finishes them off.

I added some more of the "outtakes" with some flip flaps over the picture in the upper right hand corner. I attached the extra photo flaps to the outside of the protector, after I photographed the layout so, unfortunately, they aren't shown here.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! More sunshiny layouts from St. Augustine are yet to come.
