My Girl

Ok seriously-I got a bit happy and sad all at one time looking at this picture of my baby girl.. I can NOT pinpoint the date on this but I know it had to be sometime in the SPRING of 98-sooo I am thinking Kandis is 5 or 6 months old.. It could be summer but thinking NO-lol... oh my baby girl is 12 and half now and so big-time has flown-I just dont know where it went. I know everyone thinks there babies were the sweetest sooo I have to bragg that mine really was-haha.. She loved the barn-like she does now-we all fought over her neck sugar-it was so cute. Oh what I would do to have a few of those baby days back with her.. shew!!!!
SO me and Wendy did this page the other day instead of cleaning like we should of been doing at her bed and breakfast.. I am trying to get Wendy's scrapping juices going again.. The page turned out great. I love this ADORABLE sticker that Wendy let me have. Then the other journaling circle at the top was a stamp she had.. Lots of pretty's on this-including the baby-hehe..
ENJOY-cuz I did!!! hehe

She Loves the Pool

Super quick page I threw together last night before I went to bed.. I used a cream solid paper as my background.. Then a cream and green designed paper as my second paper and all I did was rip it and ink it some.. Then I had a green piece of design paer that I ripped and put down. I cut my letters from my lyrical letters cricut cartridge. My heart was a plain 3-d heart that I stickled purple.. I used a piece of ribbon down the side and added a few mini Tim Holtz staples down the side too. I had some plastic green and white flowers I used on different spots. Then I did all my journaling down the side.. I like the way it turned out..
This is this summer-June 2010-My daughter in my parents pool-Next store to us-hehe!!

Birthday Wish

This is a old picture but a new page of my daughter on her 10th Birthday in 2007. I got the idea for this page out of a OLD Scrapbook Trends magazine from 2007. I a big yellow and a big orange flower layer on top of each other for the top. My yellow letters are thickers that I put diamond stickles on. I copied my little card at the bottom from another card I had but it was a different color that I didnt want to use-and now I can use it again or copy it again for something else.. I used a template to trace around the edges with a white pen. Then I filled in the empty space inside the white pen with liquid glass to give it a glossy wet look. The scan just doesnt do it justice..
I got in the mood to scrap tonight and did 2 pages. I will post the other one tomorrow!!!
Thanks for checking out my blog!!!! Happy HUMP day!

Back 2 School

The last of 15 pages in Mrs Starr's book. I am hoping to add 5 more pages to it over the summer. This is on the 1st day of school this year that just past-in August 2009. Kandis is in 6th grade-in the green t-shirt.
I started with green cardstock. Then I cut a inch off each side of brown cardstock and matted it to the green. I had some school paper and I cut a long strip of the red-and rounded the corners on it. Added the picture and round the one corner on it.. The blue strips on the outside of the journaling were done with my blue glimmermist. I did the journaling on my computer. I added another small piece of stripped cardstock to the top and rounded it's corner. I used red thickers for my title on the top. I cut a thin green strip of cardstock and added it down the middle. The black letters are just some thick cardstock stickers I have. Then the jewels are part of some jewels clusters I have.. Cute page... Now it's time for me to copy all 15 of these pages and change my journaing around for Kandis' 6th grade book-hehe

Christmas Play

Another page I did for the teacher's book. This one is from their Christmas play at school in 2008-Kandis was then in 5th grade.. My daughter is the beautiful White Angel-hehe.. Mrs Starr's kids got the majority of the speaking parts and main characters this year-becuz of their ages.. It was a awesome page-and I feel in love with this picture of them all.
Another super easy page.. I just matted my photo to brown paper-then matted it again to a blue paper and then I ruffed the edges up on that. Then I matted it again on a cream paper and inked it all.. I made corner pieces for 4 places-big ones for the outside of the matts and put jewels on them and then corners on the inside of 2 corners of the pictures again with jewels. I added a part of a jewel cluster I had. Then I added a decorative strip i had in white. Iput some flowers on the corner.. Oh and I see I added 2 more corners on the 2 opposite sides of the edges of the decorative paper-i used snowflake paper. I used my white pen and marked on corner pieces.. I made me a circle out of paper from the same pack as the snowflake and I distressed it too and inked it all up. I did my journaling on the computer and then matted it.. I didnt realize I matted that much on this-lol. I added a few journaling strips from the computer on top. Then I bent over the corner and snot dotted it down-I should of used my tim holtz staple gun for that-lol.. I put a piece of designed paper behind it since my paper was not double sided. That's it. Just a lot of cutting and matting is all.. I have ths stuff all ready for me to do this for Kandis' book now.. hehe
Hope U liked it.. Leave me some comments-please!! lol

Jolly

Another simple page that took hardly no time to finish.. This is Mrs. Starr's 5th and 6th grade classes this past Christmas-2009 at our local mall. The kids went shopping for secret santa gifts for each other..
I love my jewel words I got at Michaels on clearance. I had some christmas paper I used on the top. I round the coners on my pictures n paper.. I used a flower with rhinestone and did all my journaling again with my white ink pen.. ..
if u try any of my pages out yourself-leave me a link and let me see!!!

Limelight Photography by J. Martin

Thursday Me, Kandis, my step-son, Clayton, one of my best friends, Jenelle, and her son, Nathan went to the Breaks Interstate Park. Jenelle has a studio named Limelight Photography http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/photos.php?id=1222405587, These pictures of my daughter are incredible.. She took lots of pictures of her in different outfits in several different places but these are the 1st two pictures she has got to edit.. The one of her in the water is my favorite i think so far-out of the 2 -LOL! I am sure I will be changing my mind soon.

This one is incredible. It makes Kandis look way older then 12. hehe.. I love her big brown eyes here.. Just beautiful...

I just had to brag on my friend.. Then of course brag on my baby girl..

thanks for taking a look !!!
