It's All About The Journey

Is It Spring Yet?

Ciao! Yes, spring is here..... but the snow and the cold have not left us yet. My goodness it has been a very  long winter.

One week ago today we woke up to heavy wet snow, so heavy that Wayne was not able to use his snow blower for most of our driveway. No new snow since then but still lots of white on the ground. March is going out like a Lion this year. My birthday was the day before our last snow fall & as always Wayne spoiled me and made my day a very special one. Hope you enjoy looking at my pages.

 

I used The Strawberry Edition pocket cards from Becky Higgins. I used the Pocket Pages- Circle words Smile  die, and the word "March" from the pocket & Pages March Script die  from Taylored Expressions. I also used a Sizzix die for the words Happy Birthday.

 

 

The sun was out, my cake was delicious and Wayne helped me celebrate my day. I could not ask for more then that! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Stay stay warm, stay safe and SMILE BIG. :)

It's Almost Spring

Ciao! Spring is just a couple of days away. Many of us have been counting the days until the snow is all melted away and the teperature reaches 40  for at least  3 cosecutive days. But this is New England so the spring weather will come when it darn well feels like it. ;)

 

I made a card! A simple one but I am happy with the way that it came out. It felt great to be able to make a card despite the lack of stamping.  This is what I used: SU Bermuda Bay card-stock. I love this color. SU polka dot embossing folder and matching buttons. I used a 3x4 card from Becky Higgins Seafoam edition. It's nice that I am able to use the extra cards I have left as layering pieces. Lastly but most importantly I used the 3x4 die and "Thanks" die from Taylored Expressions. I love that the dies helped me to create a card for someone special.

I am still making my Project Life pages. I have fallen a tad behind but I am making two books at a time  so I am being easy on myself. And I am still keeping things simple.

 

 I used the Becky Higgins H pocket page as well as 2 cards from the Midnight edition also from Becky Higgins. I love this core kit for snow photos. The "March" die is from Taylored Expressions and the "snow die is from Paper Trey Ink. Simple yes?

Slow but sure, the snow is melting. :)

Thanks so much for stopping by. Stay warm, stay safe and SMILE BIG!

Gracie & Papa

Ciao! I am posting 2 pages of Wayne & Gracie together. She spent Saturday and Sunday, February 15 & 16 with us and of course I had to document a few of the the fun  things we did with her. These two pages are of Feb.15 only. Her Project Life book  for 2014 is a little behind but I am catching up. :)

First stop was to pick Grace up from her home. It was snowing and only 16 degrees that day. On our way to our home we all had lots of fun singing and laughing and of course I took the photos of Miss Grace sitting in her car seat since Wayne was the one driving. I used the Project Life Honey Edition and an overlay. Keeping these 2 pages very simple. :) If you would like to see these page clearly, please click on them.

We stopped off at the Mall located in my area so that I could get Grcaie's hair cut. Unfortunately, there weren't any appointments available that afternoon. While we were walking through the mall Grace looked into the candy shop and saw a Minnie Mouse Baby Beanie. I had to run in and get it for her because the look on her face and her yelling out "minnie" was all it took. :)

 

These two have a very special bond with one another. Lucky me...... I get to watch and capture them together. :) Thanks so much for stopping by.

Stay warm, stay safe and SMILE BIG. :)
