Love Le Cirque

Graphic 45 is my latest obsession and I am loving the vintage look right now.  This layout of my daughter was created with the Le Cirque collection.

I distressed and inked the edges with Vintage Photo (Tim Holtz Distress Ink).  I layered the photo and inked the edges of three doilies (Little Yellow Bicycle).  I then used some vintage buttons (Jenni Bowlin) and adhered some black pearls (Prima) and finished the layout with a black flower (Petaloo) and some paper roses (Prima).

Thanks for stopping by and have a beautiful day!

Twisted Sketches Layout #117

The Twisted Sketches Layout #117 is posted on www.twistedsketches.org.  Here was my submission this week for the sketch:

The twist for the layout was "long".  My take was that I am looking forward to having a long and happy life together.  I used Cosmo Cricket's Circa 38 Collection, Prima Flower, Kaisercraft Doily, Fiskars Scalloped Border Punch, Kaisercraft Pearls, Jenni Bowlin Vintage Buttons, Distress Inks Black Soot (Ranger) and Bazzill Cardstock.

Please check out Twisted Sketches and play along with us.  Have a great day!

First Day Of Junior High School

Well my youngest son went back to school on August 29.  It was his first day of junior high school and first day being in grade seven.  Where does the time go?

He really had the jitters, but it turned out to be a great day.  It was really great that his dad was home to take him to school.

Another Graphic 45 Layout...

This one is of my husband.  It was taken last year and I thought that the "Le Cirque" Collection by Graphic 45 would be perfect for it.

Graphic 45, I think we may have a love affair happening, but don't tell my husband.  He he he!

Have a scrap happy day!

Graphic 45 - First Layout

I wanted to share a layout I did last week while I was away in Fort McMurray.  This one is of my son and I  this summer.

Graphic 45 Le Cirque Collection, Prima flower, Jenni Bowlin (Vintage Buttons), Cosmo Cricket (Red Letter Stickers) Graphic 45 ("Curtain Call" letter sticker), Maya Road (Journal Die Cut),  twine,  Tim Holtz Distress Inks (Black Soot, and Vintage)

I used the Graphic 45 Le Cirque collection.  This is the first time I have ever tried Graphic 45 as I have always felt that it was out of my comfort zone.  It was fun!  I think I will have to try some more as I love their papers.  Thanks for looking and have a great day!
