My lil' Pixie Fairy

I created this one for a challenge over at 2 Spotted Dogs. It was called word border.
I used clubscrap paper
11 month old baby shoot.



The inspiration came from Ali Edwards http://www.aliedwards.typepad.com/

I Miss this. . .

I posted a challenge over at 2 Spotted Dogs (see here)
Here is my example. This one covers 2 challenges - Sewing and rub-ons.

Journaling is tucked away in the little owl pocket that I made with left over scraps.
It reads:
I miss this . . .
I was going through some old pictures
and came across this one. It stopped
me right in my tracks.
I don’t even remember you looking like
that. You were ten years old. I miss
you at that age. I miss you living
with us. I miss hearing you chatter
about school, friends and horses. I
miss your obsession with movies and
clothes. Your spot at the dinner table
is empty most of the time. We
really miss you. It’s not just me
and your dad that miss you, Izzy
and Khalila miss you too.

The other day when we took you
out for dinner, I looked at the
Beautiful young lady sitting across
from me, and for a moment I wondered
how you had changed so quickly –
but all of sudden there you and
Izzy went laughing and carrying
on. Just like old times. O.K.
so I pretend to be embarrassed and
I tell you guys not knock it off,
but deep down inside I’m glad you
are still you and you guys still know
how to have fun and you still connect
like siblings. Journaling 2/08

Oh Happy Day!

I went to my friend, Jennifers house yesterday after work and scrapped. I hadn't seen her in awhile and we decided we are just going to have to get together more often (Heather sorry you couldn't make it - maybe next time!)
This is the l.o. I made while visiting.
I used the February 2 Spotted Dog Kit and some odd and ends on this l.o.
Thank you Jennifer for the buckle heart and the beads. They were the perfect touch on this layout.
Khalila's High School Graduation.

*SPARKLE*

She brings lots of sparkle into my life!
Handmade embellishment - I copied the accent on her shirt. I used The Two Spotted Dogs February Kit and Lace from The Embelishment Studio, lots of "Stickles" which is what she is playing with and odds and ends.

What matters most ...Family

Flowers were hand sewed.
