Live, Imagine, Create!

Hello Fellow Scrappers!

I wanted to share a fun site that I belong to and invite you to come on over and join us!  It's called "Live, Imagine, Create" and it's run by a wonderful lady named Michelle!  In addition to scrapping, card making & paper crafting, there are forums for floral design, sewing, photography & more!

Right now, you can have a chance to become a Jr. member of their Creative Team!  Check out this thread on the message board for all the details!

I decided to give this a shot too!  Here is my layout....

Inspired by this Page Maps Sketch...

Have A Great Day!

Time to do a little catching up!!

Wow! I am SO far behind in sharing some of my recentl creations!  So sit back and relax, this is going to be one LONG post!!

"Honeymoon"

(12"x12" Layout)

Everything used on this layout is included in the kit!

(I also used the Cricut Expression for the circles, scalloped circles and journaling blog, as well as a selection of border punches.)

I found that this kit was PERFECT for all of these heritage photos that I have!  These photos are from my grandparent's honeymoon back in 1939!!  I found a whole envelope full of them, and I am excited to have finally started working on them!

"Once Upon A Time"

This is a photo of my parents on their Wedding Day in 1968! This kit included the perflect collection of papers to make this layout EXACTLY what I wanted!

I now have it framed and am looking to order a 2nd kit to create a similar layout using one of my in-law's wedding photos!!

Both of these kits are available in the Queen Scraps on-line store for only $9.99 each!!  Hurry & get yours before they are gone!!

Now, I'd like to share some creations made with the Bo Bunny Persuasion Line!  Bo Bunny sponsored the Design Team over at Cookin' Up Creations for the month of June!   They sent a beautiful selection of items, including patterned paper, flower, bling, buttons, stamps and ribbon!

"Daddy's Girls"

In addition to the papers & embellishments, we also received a clear acrylic album.  I decided it would be fun to create a home decor piece to hang in my daughters' room using the pages of this album!  With the addition of a few misc. flower brads, I made this cute mobile!
