can i say how much i love the new MM garden party collection! perfect for spring and easter … and yet great for everyday stuff too. i did these 3 layouts yesterday using the collection.

my first circle layout. for some reason every time i would use these large scalloped edged circle papers … i would mount them onto a 12×12 cardstock background. not sure why i didn't think to just do a circle layout. lol! some older pics of adyson from almost a year ago. we all miss her so much … it's been 4 months since we've seen her. i "heard" that she had a big day on friday … and we're sending her our "get well" wishes. kind of sad that i had to hear about it the way i did … but it is what it is. 12×12 layout.

look at the itty bitties! i'm still having fun digging through some older photos. i have loved watching what nichol has been doing with a lot of her older photos. in some ways i find it more challenging … i think mainly because the photos are not the same look and quality that i'm used to these days. that sounds really bad, doesn't it. lol! and since they're pre-digital … i can't fix them or change them to blk&wht … so i have to pretty much use them as is. i don't know if you can tell … but this layout is full of glittery stuff! the brown cardstock is actually the shimmer one, the papers all have glitter, the photo corner and diecuts have glitter, the large brads have glitter. and those small, round white glitter things … those are the centers from the shimmer jigsaw flowers. 12×12 layout.

for the record … purple is one of my least favorite colors. not sure why. it was certainly alyssa's favorite color when she was little. love these shimmer jigsaw flowers … the pretty look of glitter without the mess. lol! and look at my tan girls … right at the end of summer over 7 years ago. so cute! 12×12 layout.

i'm thinking maybe i should dig out some easter pics to use next. i don't think i scrapped any from the past 2 years … and this collection would be perfect!

    The layouts are great as usual… but let’s talk about how clean your stair railing is! WOW! And they are white! <—-easier to see dust, and toddler sticky handprints.

    Beautiful layouts Laura! I just used the MM Garden party on a layout I did for a CX assignment (it’s on my blog). I LOVE this line so much. I love the bright yet soft colors and the way it sparkles IRL, I think it’s got to be one of my favorite MM lines (and I pretty much have them all lol, except the new lines…soon 😉 ) Thanks for sharing with us!
