New Layouts

These few layouts are from pictures from Brianna and Jessica. I was in the mood to do an orange layout and these pictures were perfect. The whole layout was done with paper & embellishments from Target dollar spot. Journaling reads "After months of Waiting.
The above layout is done with Jessica photos she took while she was in Alabama in May. I just love the top picture of Tyler. Journaling:
1 for the money, 2 for the show, 3 to get ready, and, 4 to go





I went through some older photos and found this one when Tyler was at my house and just learning to crawl. Just love the look on his face! Journal reads: My darling adorable Determined grandchild. When you started to crawl, you did so as you do everything determined. Sure it wasn't pretty at first, but after many attempts of rocking back and forth, and going no where you finally got it. I hope as you go through life, you find with a little determination, anything is possible. Tyler 2006.

Before and After..........

I found this by the side of the road about a year ago. It was a Post Office hutch that sat on a low table. I talked them into just selling the hutch for about 40.00 and has been sitting in my garage since. The top and the sides are oak, and the inside is pine. Finally stripped it and did a little restaining, wiped some Murphy's Oil, added some shelves and with the help of Mikes Moving Service ( Mike T and Mike Z) getting it down into my basement.....





TA DA...................................................................




A perfect scrapbook hutch !! It is sitting on my oak desk I had. The stains don't match but know matter how hard I tried I could not lighten up the wood. You should've seen the nails that came out of the thing. They must of been a least a hundred years old.



I found some great plastic storage that has hinge tops on them- 3 for 2.49 (which I may paint all one color) and jars at IKEA for the cubby holes. I am planning on picking up a few more. I will put my embellishments up there. The nook (center pic) to the right will be a space for the latest and great books, center for flowers and ( right pic) the left side will be for my pages in progress. The shelves are larger than 12x12 so will work out perfect. Now I want to paint the walls...........Hmm....what color??

Target Treasures

Target has some great finds in their dollar spot. Make sure you

go check it out before it all goes. It has been ages since we have

scrapped, anyone interested in getting together soon. I am pretty

open for the next month if anyone would like to come over one

Friday or Saturday evening. Just let me know and we can see if

we can get a few of us together. When Brianna was in town we

scrapped a couple nights. I did my first Kalen page, in pinks. Hard

to go from doing boys pages to girly pages. But it was fun. I will

post it soon. I also have to post a picture of the hutch we put in

the scrap-room. It is really cool. It needs some finishing touches

and then will be awesome.
