Scrapbook USA Expo Layout Challenge

I've never participated in a scrapbooking layout challange, so this is a first for me! Here's the sketch:

It was a lot of fun! What I loved about it was that we had free rein on our take of the sketch. Here is my layout. 

It's been a really long time since I pulled out my scrapbooking supplies and actually created a page! So it took a while to get those creative juices flowing! I found some cute pictures of my girls that I took this past fall. Every once in a while THEY get in the mood and want me to photograph them. I love days like that! Nothing like dropping everything and just spending the day with My Girls. ;)

Supplies used: We R Memory Keepers Precious Metal Collection Paper Kit- Silver Lining, silver washi tape, Stampin' Up Vintage Brads.

Mother's Day Album

For Mother's Day I made my Mother-in-Law a 6x6 album. We went down to Richmond on Friday and I had my little sister take some family pictures of us. It had been awhile since we had done some family pictures. It was actually quite fun taking the pictures, but it did get a bit chilly. Here's the album I made [Now I do have to apologize for the quality of the pictures of the album. I completely forgot to take pictures before we left and when I realized that I hadn't was in a big hurry right before I gave it away. :) Terribly sorry] :




There are two little poems I added to the album also:
on p19

"Ten Little fingers, Ten Little toes..."
Ten tiny toes that always want to play That never stop exploring the wonder of today. Ten tiny fingers that from the very start Will reach out for tomorrow, yet always hold your heart.

p23

"Little Girls..."
By Karen Barnes

Little girls are made of daisies and butterflies and soft kitty cat purrs
And all the precious memories of times that once were.
Little girls are made of angel's wings and giggles and a firefly's glow
And all the happy feelings, deep inside, that we all know.
Little girls are made of cinnamon and bubbles and fancy white pearls
and snowflakes and rainbows and ballerina twirls.
Little girls are made of sunshine and cupckaes and fresh morning dew,
And these are the reasons, little one, why everyone loves you.

Supplies: All supplies from Stampin' Up!
