So Loved Just The Way You Are

This is a picture of my grandmother, which I am so lucky to still have to have in my life. She is such a funny, feisty and strong woman. 

I used papers from a past KOTM from C'est Magnifique kit club. They are gorgeous! I also used lace and flowers from goodies at C'est Magnifique. Here are some close-ups. 

Gorgeous lace and butterflies. 

I added some modeling paste, starburst spray, and acrylic paint to the background. 

I did some hand stitching here.

Time Flies

This is a picture of my handsome husband. He looked so deep in thought..ha. 

We took a drive into the Franklin Mountains and at the top, we parked and I took this picture of him.  It was a really great day and relaxing for the both of us. 

I used papers from a previous kit from C'est Magnifique. They are so pretty.   I misted a mask on the background paper and also did some punching around the edges here and there. 

I distressed and inked my papers and also used some burlap in the background which I had in my stash. 

The chippies were painted with chalk ink. 

I really enjoyed this sketch, it was so much fun to play with.

Sweet

This is a layout of my beautiful grandmother and my Tia Lucy. 

Since my last layout, was a tribute to my grandpa..I thought, it's grandma's turn to light up my blog! Say cheese....and I was able to get this memorable pic of her. 

I used papers from my C'est Magnifique KOTM. And I added some blues mixed in with shades of red to pop off the page. 

I painted my chippies with gesso, glimmer mist and coated it with glossy accents. I also used a stencil in the background and traced the diamonds so you can see them better. I added flowers and butterflies.

March 23rd Sketch Challenge At Stuck On U Sketches

Hi everyone! We have another wonderful sketch challenge for you to play along with from Stuck On U Sketches. This sketch will run for two weeks, so come on over and join in on the fun!

And here is my interpretation of the sketch:

Just Adorable

First, this is a picture I took of my cousin and godson, hanging out and being silly. 

Now these papers are just awesome! They are so clean and vintage, it was hard to add pops of color. I tried to keep it neutral, to give it that romantic feel. 

Hope I did it justice. The papers are from Pion Design. I added some brads, chippies which I painted and distressed. The flowers and die cuts came with my KOTM from C'est Magnifique. I just loved this beige and simple design.  

Head on over to our blog and check out the other designers amazing creations. 

TFL and have a great week!

You Make Me Smile 

This is a pic of my DH while we spent time away from home for my birthday weekend. It was super chilly outside, and windy but we still had a great time. 

I used papers from my KOTM from C'est Magnifique. The papers are from a Denmark collection called the fall flea market. They are super gorgeous. The flowers are also from the kit. 

The sketch above provided lots and lots of layering which I luv to do. I also used moon shadow mist from lindy's stamp gang. I ink distressed the edges and painted the chippies with chalk ink.
