Prima for Peyton

I had to do something special for this beautiful picture of Peyton, Michele worked so hard to get that perfect picture and as always she got it. So now it was my turn to make something beautiful, so I decided to try something new, plus it was part of my kit from Scrappy Chic.  So this is my first attempt at making ribbon roses and the first time I have used Prima Cardstock (crazy right?!) I’ve never used Prima mainly because the scrapbook store nearest to my house doesn’t carry it, sad I know. Yet another reason that I am grateful I was chosen to be a design team member at Scrappy Chic. Well this was my first go round and I’m pretty proud of this page, I think that it turned out pretty good if I do say so myself. I am sure I will be making lots more roses and I know I will be using a ton more Prima!

Working at the Car Wash

Sydney had so much fun washing the car with her daddy. It was so funny to see a two year old washing a car that had only been detailed by hand before she was born, it’s funny how much kids change everything!

 As you may or may not be able to tell by know I really like my two pagers and I’m not so great at the journaling. So the little cheat that I used on this page was to write directly on the picture. Now I know it’s not journaling but it’s better than nothing and it makes me smile every time I think of Syd calling the Jaguar a kitty.

Real Simple Two Pager

It’s a super simple layout but I really like it because I’m actually in the pictures! I used a two page sketch from Scrapbook ECT. And it worked great for all the little pictures of the skaters. I bet it would work great for a zoo page or anything that you have a ton of pictures that aren’t great but you want to include.

Oh so Pink! Created for Scrappy Chic

       I really had something completely different in mind when I first saw the papers Angela had picked out for me this month but this is what I ended up with.
