Getting to know me

 I made this LO for the challenge going on at LMLC, I would never have guessed how hard it would be to scrap-book me.  I am a wife, a mother, a student genealogist, an amatuer crafter, I run a community theater, and have a fondness for things that sparkle and high heeled shoes.  But most of all everything that I am begins and ends with Family. (Except maybe the shoes) 

 I used the Forever Young cartridge for the hat and shoes, the Heritage cartridge for the grandfather clock, the Inspired Heart for the outline of Jesus and the word contradiction was from Ashlyns Alphabet.  The silver rub-on about family came from Basic Grey, and the Family stamp is from Stampabilities. The paper DCWV, dots and stripes.

Finally taught my mother to use her design studio

My mother has owned her Design Studio for probably 2 years longer than I have owned mine, but she didn't know how to use it, so finally the other day she came over to help me move, and I sat down and taught her to use it instead.  A much better use of our time, I must say.  This is her finished product, it is a purse from the Forever Young cart. she removed the image that was on the original by using the design studio, and added a flower for a clasp instead.  She used basic grey for the paper, and lots of foam tape to make the clasp really jump out at you.  Good job Mom!  She filled it up with candy and gave it to the girls at the front desk where she works.

A Love Story part 7 and 8

 This is page 7 of my hubby's mini-book, the photo border is from Mini Monograms, I glued sequins to make it sparkle and stitched the edge of the inside border in white. The sentiment came from a set of stickers that I had laying around, and it is set on an outline that I got from my Forever Young cartridge.  For the journaling I printed the outline of the words and colored them with my gel pens.  I added some hearts that I cut from my scraps using my fiskars heart punch.  The house came from the Handy Man cartridge cut at 10 1/4"

Page 8, the tools all came from the Handy Man cartridge, all cut at 3" and the frames for the journaling are from Accent Essentials.  This page was a challenge for me, so I kept it pretty basic.
