Playing with Paper

Fabulous Friday + Lots of Creative Possibilities

It has been a fantastic week!  Look what I've been up to!  I've got my guest room bed covered with sets of beautiful patterned paper, matching embellishments and wonderful things like ribbon (yes, some of those beauties I purchased in New York two weeks ago) and buttons and brads!  Take a Look:

Going to start creating something using the new Piggy Tales collection, Thumbilina.  Here's the stack that's taunting me, calling to me, begging me to be used:

Stay tuned and I'm hoping to show you some big progress by Monday . . . I'm thinking layouts and possible a class!  I've been having lots of requests for classes . . . stay tuned!

Wednesday Wisdom + More Heritage Layouts

Aloha Everyone!

I'd like to return to my regular format for Wednesdays, which is quotes.  This week, in honor of mother's day, I'm sharing a few favorites!

Being a mother means that your heart is no longer yours; it wanders wherever your children do. – Unknown

A mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take.  – Cardinal Mermillod

To the world you just may be one person, but to one person you may be the world. – Josephine Billings

Before you were conceived I wanted you.  Before you were born I loved you.  Before you were here an hour I would die for you.  This is the miracle of life. – Maureen Hawking

And, speaking of mothers, here's two more layouts from my mother's heritage album:

Remember to send out cards and flowers for all those "mothers" in your life!

 

Happy May!

Keeping with the Heritage Album this week!  I have some vintage photos in these layouts.  So, to tie them into the album, I've added some lace and metal and highlighted the main photos using the same matting technique.

Hope everyone is okay with all the bad weather that's been floating around on the mainland.  Please stay safe.
