4th of July ....2004 (pg.2)

Here is page #2 to the other LO. Again lots of fun dimension and a little bit of crystal bling. I used crystals for the firework at the bottom corner and even added some glitter glue to the top left corner...oh and a little machine sewing! I stacked my title letters for a little more depth. And believe it or not I actually used one of the gazillion stamps I have! The word FIREWORKS at the bottom was stamped...I pieced together a little firecracker and topped it off with the crystals.
Look how little the kids were....wow! Makes me a little sad!
I'm working on a few other LO's so hopefully I'll have more to post....hopefully!

4th of July .....2004

Well, here is what I have been working on...for what seems like forever! Sometimes things take a while to materialize onto paper....and then sometimes they are lickety-split!
I can't believe how "little" the kids look. But then again these are from 2004!
I just love this Lo and really like all the dimension.
On the "FUN" I stamped little stars with my Versamark ink. I love the little extra punch it gives. Of course i am totally in love with the darn crystals! I just love the little sprucing you get...and with something so small.
Well, enjoy!

Yet another project and a layout!!

Well....this is my latest little project. I found myself doing this last night about 11pm. It's crazy but I tend to get inspired at night...late at night! Anyhow, I think it turned out pretty good! Especially for a cheap little curtain rod from Wally-world and a few drapery rings...here you have it. My solution to getting my die cut letters into a more "user" friendly place. I have so many and it would frustrate me to dig through the box every time I needed some letters. So there you have it! Who knows, maybe you've been inspired. And if you are, drop me a comment and a link to your inspiration!

This layout is a compilation of various photos from the 4Th of July weekend. There is so much to do here during that time and we really do find ourselves pretty busy. (Again these photos are from 2004 and I really need to get crackin! Before I know it I'll be 5 years behind and then 6 and then 7......)

Some more Virginia City fun

Virginia City fun...

Well....I have actually gotten a few lay outs done in the past few days...and I have finally gotten them uploaded for your viewing pleasure.
I am officially 4 years behind. These photos are from the summer of 2004. It is amazing to me how much the kids have "grown up" since these photos. Not just them getting taller and such, but they have really developed into little adults (or at least they think so!)
Anyhow enjoy!
The 3rd photo is of the detail where I "hid" the certificate that the kids got when they panned for gold. I just slid it behind the photos and created a little pull out. The photos are not the greatest, but the swirls are made of little gemstones so it has a really nice sparkle.
