Belle's Kindergarten Layout

Here's a layout I did it's of Belle. The Picture without her glasses was taken at the begining of the year and I have NO IDEA why she looks so sad! She looks like her long lost pet died.. But it's still a memory and her second picture the Spring picture I think she looks so grown up! To me there's a HUGE difference on her growth. Well I had fun with this layout. Thanks for reading!

Simple Fall Card

I love fall it's my favorite time of year! I love the crisp chill in the air and the anticipation of the Holidays, I love to make my own decorations, and Gifts for friends and Family! I'm really going to start posting everyday or at least every other day.

Here's a card I made at my first hostess club meeting. All of the ladies loved it and I LOVED that they did. I really love my group of stampers they are the best! I'm truly blessed I was able to find them, and get to stamp with them once a month. I enjoy teaching these ladies new techniques and projects. I think I enjoy it more than them LOL. Anyways here's the card we all made.

We used the water color technique with the tree for all season stamp set. Used the blender pens with Brocade blue, Old Olive pumpkin Pie, and Ruby Red. Stamped the image in the Basic Brown, and did some Faux stitching as well. I think the card came out nice and simple.

Thanks for stopping by!
