POSIES


Lorilei Murphy recently gifted me with her pretty vintage 4 Pak of Quick Pages using the Posies Kit from Rosey Posey Studio! Wasn't that sweet of her?!

Included in the kit are vintage feeling elements like a warm basket, watering can, and old cornice, lace, pretty flowers, and unique frames just to mention a few. Also included is an alpha made from old paper and 12 - 12x12 papers @ 300 ppi for high quality printing.

The soft colors of dove grey, raspberry and blush are great for whimsical and heritage layouts!
Below are two "family" pages from me using the lovely quick pages.

My brother had custody of his three girls after his divorce and did an outstanding job with them! He met Mary, who had one son from a previous marriage. They married and shortly thereafter, Danielle gave birth to their first Grandchild.

Above is my family. Well, the way it was in 1980! My parents (Mama is holding my DS #2) and my brothers (Jay was the only one married at that time, and had two daughters) had came up to our home in Louisville to celebrate Michael's 6th Birthday. My ex (wearing the baseball cap) as usual, was more interested in the loud party going on across the street than he was in our own celebration.

As I look at the picture, I remember the day vividly! We did our best to make the day festive even though my husband was going to the neighbors and partying with them, more than he was with us. It was a day, like many my family shared with me...an odd mix of happiness in the sharing of the day with my family, shame in the drunkard ways of my husband but pride in the tolerance of my parents as we bit our tongues and strived to make the day festive for my children. Thankfully, my boys say they don't really remember a whole lot about those days...sometimes, I wish I didn't as well but there were lots of good times we shared in our 23 year marriage and I have always thanked God for my parents and my brothers who were always there for us!

The good times, the bad times, all those special memories...that is what digital scrapbooking is all about it! Run over to the Rosey Posey Studio and check out all that Lorilei has to offer to help you scrap the days of your life! And check out HER BLOG as well where you will find some delightful freebies!

Happy Scrappin'!

Bells of St Clements

“Oranges and lemons… The Bells of St Clements…”. The words of this old English singing game identified the church bells in and around London and are the inspiration behind Rina’s “Bells of St Clements” collection. Full of juicy fruity freshness in citrus shades of cream, lemon yellow, orange and lime green, this collection is sure to become a summer favorite. As part of the Door Buster Event , there will be some new coordinates for Rina's new (soon to be released) kit that are priced for only $1 or $2 !!! I have loved playing with this beautiful kit!

Hump Day with Teen Tude

Wednesday is Hump Day:and we are half-way through the week.  We here in the USA are looking forward to a big holiday weekend, the 4th of July!  I am sure my sons will take their kids to one of the fireworks shows in the area, and we always have a family cook-out at my brothers house.  I still have to try to get my stuff together for the big yard sale my DILs are having on Saturday.  But today, my husband and a few of his friends are meeting here to finish putting up the big 100 ft CB antennae tower for his "Bull Creek Sub-Station!  He loves to talk and there is always a listening audience for his foolishness on the CB.  That is about the only hobby he has, lol! For me, my love of digi-scrapping led me last night to double-check and finish some of the photo books I have to make sure they are ready for printing.  I added a couple of slide shows from these projects over on the right side of my blog so I hope you take the time to peek at them.  I can't wait to actually see these

In Memoriam Collection

Anyone who has lost a loved one knows how much they cherish them and want to preserve their memory. Putting together a Memory Album is one way of remembering them, now and for future generations. Rina and Kimberly have come together in bringing you the "In Memoriam" collection that exemplifies gentleness in strength. Inside this large collection you will find a myriad of embellishments and papers that are suitable for both softly feminine and more rugged masculine pages. It is delicate and sensitive, yet strong and thoughtful. The colors are peaceful, yet with an intensity that gives them strength. You will be able to choose from a number of color combinations: from crisp silvery white and lavender, to the soft glow of gold leaf and sky blue, from warm caramel and taupe to shades found in nature, and finally to accent colors of scarlet red, navy blue and dark purple. Often times our emotions are still very raw from our loss and we may find it difficult to draw on our own c
