2 New Pages

I have did these 2 pages over the last week-just now getting a chance to post them.. The 1st one is of my daughter in 1998. She was only about 6 months old-she is now 12. Looking at that picture brings back all the memories of that day to me.. boo hoo!! I miss them.. Me and my friend Wendy worked on this page together at her house real fast one day-then I finished it at home.. I stitched around all the paper with a sowing maching.. I hand made the flowers.. The brown flowers were cut out of punches-then I wet the paper-ran it thru my cuttlebug-then i ink it-then scrunhced it all up in a wad and then unwaded it and let it dry-and it dryed so cool.. then just layered them with more flower punched flowers. I used yellow rhinestones in the middle of them. I cut out all the words with my cricut.. The word Angel was cut out with my graphically speaking cartridge which is turning out to be my favorite cartridge ... Then I used some different alpha cartridges on the others.
I made this page with my cousin Stephanie in Michigan a year ago I think. We had got the paper at a locally owned scrapbook store and then came home and made the page right up. I had everything done on the page except a title and pictures.. It is sooo hard to do a pre-made page without pictures-then fit pictures in-shewie!! I struggled here.. That is how come it took me so long to use the page.. I love it though. I am all about layering paper. Then inking it all up.. We cut the cute little penquins out of some of the paper. I cut the "together" out of my graphically speaking cartridge again..I think we cut the snowflakes out of one of the cartridges we had for the cricut.. I had to add lots of stickles of course..IT wouldnt be a page without it.. hehe These are pictures of me-my hubby, Roger-my daughter, Kandis-and my step-son, Clayton. One of the pictures is from Christmas Eve 2006 and the other is from this past Christmas Eve 2009.
I love these 3 sooo much!!!!
Hope someone gets inspired alittle..

Kelly your pages are beautiful and your daughter even more so. I know what you mean about feeling sad when you look back at those baby photos. My princess is almost and I miss every minute of her being small, (when I could pick out her clothes, and she would sit on my lap for hours) But you also love the little lady they are becoming. So melancholy!
