Chim Chim Cher-ee


I am working on my 2014 album and finally made it to October!  We dressed up for a Halloween party as Mary Poppins and Bert.  We used an old broom handle, half a circle styrofoam and the bristles from the broom.  I painted all of those elements black to make the chimney sweep. For the sketch, I flipped the sketch around and put the top element on the bottom.  I was excited because I could show off a big title on my layout with the famous song that Bert sings from the Mary Poppins movie.  Thanks for popping by!

68th Birthday


These Sketches from Sketches in Thyme are just perfect for the birthday layout!  Especially with the banners!  I love the simple title that just tells her age and all the fun bright colors!  The papers I used are from Echo Park Party Time!  Thanks for stopping by!

Sew Perfect Birthday


In 2014, my mother turned 68.  I decided to try for the first time ever to make her a cake that looked like a sewing machine.  Her entire party was a "sewing" theme from the spool banner, to the button cookies, and the candy filled pin cushion jars!  She was completely suprised!  Thanks for stopping by!

Autumn


Back with another scrapbook page today!  This shot of the front and back tree was on October 24, 2015.  Some years the Autumn can be amazing and then other years the colors are just not that vibrant.  This sketch by Stuck?!Sketches was perfect using my Echo Park Fall in the Air Collection.
