Did some scrapping this afternoon!

These two pages are about my Grandmother Shirley Josephine Kent. She hated having her photo taken and in almost all of the photos she is holding a hankerchief. From what I remember, she always carried one. The colors are a little off, it was a bad time of day to take the photos of the pages.

Kickstand Birthday Card

I found directions to make a "Kickstand Card" at Kirsten's blog: Confessions of a Naptime Stamper. The card is also a sketch challenge at Splitcoaststampers. I am not adding my card to the gallery there because I basically used Kirststen's idea and just changed it a little and I don't think they or she would want that there. I needed to make a birthday card and the one she had on her blog fit the bill. I had some bright paper on hand (from American Craft) that would be great as a birthday card. I thought the candle was a cute idea so I added it to my card as well. A very easy card, I can see why she likes to make them. I made some extras to have on hand. The birthday stamp is from Stampin Up! But I could not find the box with the name. The inside stamp is from a grab bag of unmounted stamps I got almost 8 years ago - The kind of purple-ish paper that I used to mat the circle paper is really blue but when I took the photo it came out purple and no amount correcting it on Adobe would get it blue. Grrr.

More Heritage Pages

Here are two more pages of my Mom. I have one more page to go but ran out of time today. The colors are a little off in the photo. The red paper and the red in the circles is actually a pinkish burgundy and matches the ribbon much better IRL than it does in the photo!

My Mom tells me that the Santa was a younger Santa and liked the ladies to come sit on his lap! It's a little wierd to see her being silly.

More Scrapbook pages





Grace's Preschool photo - 2007















My Great Grandparents on my mother's side. My mom says he might have been a little "hen pecked"!


And Below is my monther - I have about 3 more pages worth of photos of just her from when she was young. I will post them when I get them done in the next day or so.

Split Coast Stampers Challenge SBSC122



I found this challenge on Splitcoaststampers it is challenge SBSC122. I couldn't put a title on it because the page turned out to be much busier than I planned on. There was really nothing to journal and I am not real big on journaling anyway so I left that part off too. I have no idea who made the paper (I got it at Walmart), the flowers are Prima's. I had the buttons on hand.
