B's First Birthday



It's fun getting back to creating layouts with papers and embellishments--especially when I have a cute subject such as our grandgirl Beatrice.


She's every bit as cute and sweet and fun in real life ... and she's quite the little firecracker, not wanting to sit still too long or to cuddle, always off running to catch her sister Ella. Lately Beatrice has been saying more words (her favorite this past week has been "hat"), and always chimes in to be sure she's heard.


I love these grandparenting days! Yesterday DH and I got to have morning play together with the grandgirls, then take both GGs to their library story times and have lunch AND nap time with them. After nap time we read Mary Poppins and made some story characters who giggled with us and those characters floated straight to the ceiling for their tea time. We laughed and told jokes and they kept bobbing back to the ceiling as Uncle Albert and his friends always do in the story. I think Ella was going to take Uncle Bert to bed with her. (I failed to get his photo! Picture a pleasingly plump, bald, mustached jolly soul who loves to laugh and pop his vest buttons.)


Glad you stopped for a visit! I hope your day is merry and bright!

Purse Size Photo Album


































This evening I used some scrap pieces of Whoops A Daisy papers and one 12 inch square piece of cardstock (cut into three 4 inch widths and scored at 4 and 8 inches) to create a purse size accordion album, just the right size for a friend's preteen daughter's school photos of herself and her friends.

The stamp set is "Girly Girl" -- the "girlfriends" title looks red, but it's Watermelon IRL and matches the pink in the papers. Strange lighting effect in the photos!

Now it's time to clean up my mess and shut down. We're getting more thunder/lightning storms with a prediction of quarter-size hail. The clouds look so ominous--we may have to stay in the basement a while if the siren alert goes off. It's tornado season in the Midwest, and we've had the typical near-90 degree days with the 100% humidity for the past weeks, preventing us from doing much yard and garden work. But the upside of that is that I've had a little more time to scrapbook!

In everything, give thanks!

Engagement Congratulations


inside sentiment:

This evening our DD's friend called to tell us the happy news of her engagement!

We're so excited for her and her fiance!

I whipped up this fast card tonight using these Close To My Heart products:

Whoops A Daisy papers

Ocean and Watermelon inks and markers

Congratulations (Dainty Thoughts); "Be Yourself" girl stamp (May Stamp of the Month); HAPPY everything (With Love) for the inside sentiment

A blingy Sparkle on her hand (one can never be too big!)

and nonCTMH ribbon ...

I'll surprise T with it tomorrow, trusting she won't have any time to look at my blog tonight. I can't wait to see her very heavy left hand. And I'll be sure to wear my shades.
