Blinged out page

More scraps on this page.  I just added some bling here and there to spruce it up some.  Most of the bling is from making memories - actually all of it is!  The ribbon and background paper is Stampin' Up.  The red snowflake paper is Pretty Little Studio.  And the yo yo and embossed paper came from some of my Studio Calico kits. 

I'm afraid to add too much more to these pages since they are only 6 X 8 1/2" - half of the time, I don't even add journaling or titles.  Really, they are just the yearly staples...not too much to say, anyway! 

By Lori Designs - Lollipops

I've been stalking the By Lori Designs digi shop for months now, chomping at the bit to buy a few of her cute digi designs....I was just afraid I would mar her cute creations with bad coloring.  But.....I've been in a coloring mood lately and finally decided to bite the bullet and buy a few images. 

We have a birthday party for my daughter's friend today, so I thought this would make a cute birthday image.  (Don't worry - it says happy birthday inside!!!!)

I colored this Happy Birthday Annie image using my Copics on Neenah paper.  I used some paper I had in the City of Lights Studio Calico kit for the card.  The floral paper is Bella Blvd. and the greenish paper is Bazzill.  I also added a few Basic Grey buttons.  Finally, the glitter, ribbon, and framelit die cuts are all from Stampin' Up.  

I got a little inspired to add the buttons after seeing a challenge on The Pink Elephant to use buttons.  I have had this in the stash for way too long for those pretty buttons!

Just a fun little party card for a fun party weekend!  Live it up and remember our fallen soldiers this weekend!

May the Force be with your Christmas!

I am very fortunate to have a hubby who is very photogenic.  He almost always makes a gorgeous picture!  I, on the other hand, only make a good picture about 5% of the time (and then I usually still don't like them because I look too fat!) 

Anyway, my husband asked for t-shirts and sweatshirts this year.  In fact, he had a rare moment of kindness in which he actually made a Christmas list.  This just doesn't happen people. Ever.  Not in the history of our marriage!  I nearly passed out.  Needless to say, he actually was pretty hapy with most of his gifts!  ;) 

I'm almost out of the December Daily papers, so I swiped a few of the December kit papers - they were still great for these pages, so I just filled in the spaces.  Pretty simple.  That's the way these pages are going right now.....quick and simple.....and then off to handle the crying one.  That would be the 2 month old!  ;)

Christmas 2011

Nothing too  special here.  (It looks better in real life!)  Just a pic of daddy and daughter on Christmas Eve getting ready for the yearly Christmas paper throwdown.  I was just thinking that we may have to rent a UHaul to get home from Christmas 2012!  We usually have an entire trunkful (for our daughter, of course!  We get pretty boring gifts these days! ;)

Anyway, I loved these scraps of paper that I had left in the December Daily kit and couldn't part without using them one last time....so I used every single piece....every scrap.  I added a few October Afternoon stickers and chipboard buttons for good measure.

Happiness is family

This picture was really just too funny not to use!  My daughter had a dance she performed at a nursing home as well as a cheerleading demo event.  I guess she got super inspired after the event and decided to make some cheers.....with her daddy, of course!  Hee hee! 

I just loved this happy little photo and didn't want to leave it out of our December Daily album!

Meeting Santa this year

I didn't know if we were going to get to see Santa this year, but it just so happened that Santa swung by church on Christmas morning to deliver a few presents to needy children, so Halleigh got to make sure and say hello to him!

I used some scraps for this page (the color is washed out in the photo some)

I love this October Afternoon sticker - I used a pennant underneath - I cut it down the middle and spaced it so it came out the sides like a banner.  Quick and easy!

December Daily

As I have finished up one project, I came across a few Christmas pictures that I didn't scrap.  I decided to add these pics to the end of my December Daily album.  Here is a pic of us at Christmas - I was about 6 month preggo here...

October Afternoon flags - so cute!!!
