A Friend's Christmas...

OH before I get to my layout.  Did I tell you I'm a Moon Pie!  Yes I am.  I'm on the CT of Crescent Moon.   I'm so happy!  So what was my first layout with one of her great kits?  It was of a tradition from where I retired in Florida.  A friend posted a photo and I snagged it and did a layout around her day.  I hope you enjoy.

I used Hawaiian Holiday by Crescent Moon

and used a template by Roadside Designs

and here's my layout.

Until I scrap again.....

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

OH I forgot!!! A HUGE sale....

Where IS Waldo and My Amazing Husband

The two layouts I finished this week could not have been more different!  One was of my twin great nieces playing around with waldo glasses and the last one of October was of my husband.  My Husband has been ill since 2009 and this year was in the hospital for 60 days and in a coma.  I was urged on more than once by his DRS to let him go... I just could not do that... I knew he was there and would come back -- his body needed time to heal that was all -- but it was a daily battle with his DRS and nurses to treat him with the respect he deserved.... finally I scrapped about his transformation from a coma patient to my handyman husband.  I hope you enjoy my layouts.

I got so tickled!

When I saw the kit I was working with this week by Amy Stoffel (great designed btw) I got tickled because it reminded me of a photo taken of my Great Niece Anna.  If you're looking for a nice Halloween kit take a look at Wicked by Amy Stoffel

OH and to make it easy peasy I used the template by Blue Heart Design in the template challenge at Gingerscraps... it's FREE!  Don't you love free?  OH I do... Here's the link.... now go play!

Here's my layout.  I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed creating it!

It's A Fall Festival... don't miss it.

Gingerscraps has their monthly buffet out and it's Fall Festival.  Don't you LOVE fall?  OH I do -- I'm trying to talk my Hubby into taking me to the last day of our local fall festival tomorrow :).  It's when my driveway looks the best!  That's what my layout is about... my drive way.  I also finished up using the last template in Connie Prince's Naturally Wonderful template pack.  Now THAT was a great pack. I also used textures by Kim Klaussen.  I love her textures.  You should drop by her blog.  Subscribe to her emails and get free textures right to your inbox.

SO ready to look at the layout of the start of my drive way?  How about let me show you the items I used to make it first... sound good?  Great here goes....

Up Close To An Owl....

I remember the day I took this photo so well.  Keith was fascinated with this little owl.  We had a really nice day.  One of those back to nature kind of days.

I used the new kit out by Gingerscraps Ladies it's called Who's Wise and Naturally Wonderful Templates by Connie Prince.  I used it in a very different way because really it's a back to school kit but since Hubby and I don't have kids... I sought out a photo where we were learning something.  Hope you enjoy the results.

This was FUN!!!

Michelle Batton is coming out with state templates.  What a GREAT way to scrap your adventures in different states.  I worked with the AL, GA, FL template Package this time... it just happens I moved FROM FL to GA last year and before my husband started chemo we went exploring in AL.  I also used Michelle Batton's Adventure Is Out There Mega Kit - I have to tell you I so enjoyed going through my photos of our move and exploration of Desota Falls.  Here's my layouts.  I hope you enjoy.  First a peak at the products I used.

The Move!

Oh Goodness... I hope it's my last!  We moved to another state last year and I swear I don't ever want to do it again.  I was so happy (and still am) when I left the county I had been born and raised in... I took a photo of my watch as we drove over the county line!!  I used the Mamarazzi Kit designed by Z Pink Boudoir Designs (image is linked to store for your purchase ease)

I had taken a photo of my husband this year and have been waiting for the right kit to scrap it with and when I found my design partner for this month at Gingerscraps was Z Pink Boudoir Designs.  I started looking at her kits and found the PERFECT kit.  Check it out HERE 

And just because Zeee is such a great lady she created a coupon just for all of my blog readers...  isn't she sweet?  Don't forget this coupon expires the end of October.
