Family Get-Together

We had a "mini" family reunion this past Saturday and Sunday. My niece-in-law and baby June came into town for a visit over the weekend, and all of us gathered at my brother's house for visiting and eating. My sister-in-law is the best cook in town, so of course we stuffed ourselves. My niece and her two children Ivy and Zac were there, and I found Zac and June in the living room reading by themselves and couldn't resist taking these pictures. They are so cute!!

Mother, My Friend

This is a layout of my mother; the photo was taken in 1947. I used a variety of techniques on this layout. I put an transparency frame over the photo to highlight it. I used Tim Holtz distressing inks over the background cardstock, used rub-on sentiments and images, and a lot of chipboard elements for a collage effect. The heart at the upper right was painted with gold paint then embellies with some flourishes, flower and butterfly. This won 2nd place at the county fair FAMILY CATEGORY last fall, 2008. Thanks for looking!

ME

Scrapbooking is my obsession, ask anyone who knows me!! This is a layout about ME! It was made for an online challenge, and also won 1st place at the county fair in the Miscellaneous Catagory last fall 2008. I like a lot of techniques, and used distressing, inking, stamping, tags, rub-ons and sewing to name a few. Thanks for looking!
