Love You - Fancy Pants

This boy has my heart.  

Just look bath his expressions.  He brings joy to our home every single day.  

At the time of these photos, he was 5.  Now he is 12, almost 13 and he's not a baby anymore.  However, he is still my baby.  Always will be.  I'll be buying the house next door, digging a tunnel and we will meet in the middle every night to kiss good night.  

All you haters - don't comment cause its true!!!

Anyway, how could I just pick one photo to document?  

You can see why I couldn't, right? 

I used Fancy Pants Sweet Nothings collection and it was perfect for document my love!!!

Anyway, go grab it from Make A Pretty Life store!

Live. Bark. Love. - TRC

Hi friends, today I have this adorable card over on The Rubber Cafe blog.  

It is from the February's Creative Cafe' KOTM - "Love, The Most Wonderful Feeling."

I used ONLY the stamp set and product included in the kit.  

It contains beautiful papers from Doodlebug Design - "Love Bugs" and coordinating embellishments from them as well.  Wait until you see how cute everything is.  

Here is the card that I created....

Yup, not he world's best colorer but the stamp is still pretty darn cute!

Thanks for popping in today.  

LOVE - a stolen photo from a friend

It is not often that I get to scrapbook something feminine.  You won't believe what I had to do to steal this picture from my friend!!  It is one of Kathy's favorite photos of her daughter Emily, from several years ago.   We were "playing" last week and I snatched it right out from under her!  I may give it to her but first, I need to share it with you.  

Seriously, this photo needs nothing!  It is absolutely stunning.  However, I did HAVE to pair it with some pink after all.  I used MAMBI (Me and My BIG ideas) paper, stickers, banners.  A few paint splatters, enamels, one doily and and hand cut title.  It is rather simple but again, that is all the photo needs.  I need a girl.  

Guess my sexy pup will have to do.  

Here is a close up of some of the random bits I used.  Remember back in the day, when you sent away for photos, they had a yellow date in the corner?  I carefully covered that.  The date stamp wasn't always accurate.   It just meant, that is when you finally sent in the film to be developed cause you were waiting on a coupon in the mail!  Oh the luxuries of technology today!  How did we survive?

Thank you Kathy:o)
