i have been wanting to scrap for the last week. i've done tons of projects this past month … but nothing just for fun or just for me. and i was also in desperate need for color … lots of color. you'll see what i mean next week … come CHA time, when i can show some peeks. but for now … just know that all this color was a welcome sight on my desk today!

when i thought of color and what pics to use … i immediately thought about these photos of haley i took a while back. plus, they were printed already … always a plus! the large photo is a 5×7 … and the smaller ones are all 2×3.5 and arranged together. if i had known my plan for the photos … i would have printed the smaller ones all together as one piece. but i must have had something else in mind when i printed these … because they were all seperate. no problem, just adhered them side by side. and stay tuned the next few days … because i have 2 more layouts using the same photo sizes and placement. love doing different takes on the same page design.

ahhh, the american crafts flair … i'm just in love with them! and the metal rim cut in half … the other half will go on a coordinating card later tonight.  the swiss dotted kraft circle was in my scrap drawer … saved me some time.

i have had these chipboard letters forever … always loved the fun font. although no "l" to be found … so i had to cut a "k" to make my letter. and the flowers are mostly making memories … with a few american crafts tossed in. i have a mix of clear plastic flowers, fabric flowers, felt flowers, and paper flowers … such fun to layer them. the brads are all making memories too.   

supplies –
pattern paper – creative cafe
chipboard letters – pressed petals
flowers, brads, metal rim -
making memories
flair, ribbon, and flowers – american crafts
rubon – autumn leaves
embossing – cuttlebug (swiss dot folder)
stamp – hero arts
other – string

    The way you put photos together is amazing. I should take time to do more sizes. I love the flowers too. Oh…and Karrington my DD said, “Wow, she is good!”
    I hope you had a great day.

    so so cute! Do you use Photo shop with your pictures? I have Photoshop elements 4 but my computer always freezes up when I try to do anything…. 😦 (I need a new computer….it’s in the works….) I would like to be able to print my little pictures all together and was just wondering if that was the program you use. Ohh…and I’m going to CHA next week! I will definitely look for your stuff! 🙂

    So cute! Haley is such a big girl! She looks more and more grown up! Did Joe watch the game at your house? There was lots of screaming here! Dan sets up a shrine with all kinds of Steelers stuff up for good luck…and he has TWO terrible towels he swings around! Go Steelers!

    Love what you have done Laura, the bright colours look fab. I’ve had a large photo and 4 smaller ones of a couple of my boys jumping off sand dunes sitting on my desk since before Christmas, this has inspired me to do something with them, thanks.
