How often do you go back and scrap a photo and one taken a year ago or more to compare?

I don't often, in fact, at all! I was browsing through my "to be scrapped" pile of photos and came across an "extra" photo of my daughter a year ago, and one that was recently taken. I couldn't believe how much she has grown up in really, such a short period of time.

So, I decided to scrap it! I mean, why not!

I used more of the Girls Paperie - Kitch that I had from Let's Capture Our Memories to create this page:

I added in a few pieces of ribbon from my stash, and used my Ali Edwards Technique Tuesday stamps too.. love those.

 I picked up some of the K&CO. SMASH book tabs .. think they go great with this line!

 And of course, I had to add a little twine from The Twinery to the photos...

along with a couple charms from Jenni Bowlin.

 And here is another piece of the Pink Paislee Artisian Ephemra I have been posting about- this time misted with Suede Glimmer Mist and then rubbed with some brown ink too :)

That is it for my September creations for Let's Capture Our Memories.. ...

But October is right around the corner... ;)

Thanks for stopping by.. please say HI once and a while so I can do the same on your blog!

(if Blogger is behaving for me that is )

A few cards to share.!

Just stopping by quickly to share a few cards I made with more Girls Paperie for Let's Capture Our Memories this month!

I really love the vintage patterns in the line.. they do make for pretty patterns on cards too :)

 I mixed in a little of that Basic Grey ribbon tape I had picked up from LCOM a few months ago

 and here is one of the Pink Paislee Artisian Ephemra pieces all misted and inked up!

I added a few pearls to the flowers for dimension.

 Use a few of your punches.. and you can make the paper even prettier!

Hope you are inspired a little with these cards! Please visit the Let's Capture Our Memories blog to see what the rest of the DT has created this month!

My Girl

It is a new month and a new reveal of what I have been working on for Let's Capture Our Memories!

I was lucky enough to have Girls Paperie - Kitch this month, along with a few other goodies!

Here is the page I created with it:

I did a lot of fussy cutting of the quilt pattern and stitched over it.

  I mixed in some Crate Paper - Emma's Shoppe chipboard with it and it went perfectly with the line too. You can see a few peeks of it in these photos.. along with some buttons and Maya Mist in Hydrangea Blue and Red.

 Don't you love the Pink Paislee Artisian Ephemra.. can't believe I waited this long to pick it up and now it is sold out!! I left it plain here.. but I will show you later on this month what else you can do with them.

Hope you like it - I am so sad that Girls' Paperie is no more.. I have always loved their lines.. :(

We are getting tons of new stuff daily over at LCOM.. why not check us out!

Mission 31 is up today over at Mission to Create, but amazing GDT Tonya Dirk!!

Please make sure to check out our blog.. we put a lot of work into it and LOVE seeing everyone's work!

Here is a quick share of my page based on this week's mission:

Used a lot of bits and pieces on this one of different collections that I was hoarding.. loved the colour concept this week and went with it! Love stitching some simple cardstock sticker alphas..gives a touch more colour and adds just a wee touch of texture too!

Hope you like it!

Mission 0030 is up!!

I am SO exicted to tell you all who our GDT was this week at Mission to Create!!!

Seriously, she is an incredible scrapbooker and artist....

Larissa Albernaz!!!

I am personally a huge fan and when she emailed me to say YES, I was over the moon excited!

Here is the page I created with this week's mission in mind.. I have to say that I thoroughly LOVED this mission.. and am now in love with white, kraft and red (thanks Deborah!!) along with Girl's Paperie :O)

a few closeup shots:

I used my Just Cre8 stamps, and added some white embossing powder and heat set to get the white to really pop on the kraft.. not only do I LOVE these stamps... but I love the white on kraft effect too!

Hope you will check out the blog and play along with us for a chance to win a gift certificate from Tiny Seed Scrapbooking!!!

some creative shares for you!

This was my take on sketch #109 at Creative Scrappers

And another page I had worked on for fun a week or two ago!

I LOVE how this page turned out.. it combines alot of the things I am into lately -- sewing, little bits of paper, misting, turquoise and of course, doilies!
