Just one moment in time- MY Love

I love the new Prima papers and flowers. I rolled up the edges of the paper and added some velvet under the edge. The photo just a moment in time.

This is just one of the many pages that I am giving my daughter and her husband.

Look at My New Dress- Graphic 45 paper

Papers on both of these pages are from Graphic 45 collections. I also mixed Luminarte Pigment paints in to misters to create the back grounds.

I would love t have some of the new paints on the market, but I have a big colletion of Luminarte paints so for now I use them. They have a beautiful range of colors.

I shave been looking at getting some of the new Shimmers paints!! The colors are amazing and they blend well. i like that they can be used on any surface.

This is a photo of my mother in laws two sister, they look like they are saying look at my new dress. I think this is the cutest picture. They lived in Missouri and the family is of German decent. The page is for a Graphic 45 challenge.






This photo is of my daughter and her then fiance Allen while they were in Orlando for engagement photos.



Busy week ahead at work.
Hope I get some time to play Meghan, Allen and I are going to do a photo shoot this week end for holiday cards.

Last post that was supposed to be a saved draft...

They are back will be posted later.
Off to work I go!!

Second Hand Lions

Watched this movie with my husband last night ... Or should I say I watched the entire movie and he watched part of it. There was football on tv to bewatched.

It was a great movie probably a little slow for my husband.

Loved this quote by Robert Duvall from the movie.
He had advice for the teen age boys.


“Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies. You remember that, boy. You remember that. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in.”

Graphic 45 Christmas - Baby Eddie

This a baby photo of my husbands father with his mother. I noticed the wreath in the back of the truck and felt it would be perfect to use with the new Graphic 45 papers.

I spritzed the paper with Luminart paints and rolled the edges.

Pencil Lines Challenge- TRICKS WITH A TREAT

This is the skectch for this week


and this is my take on the sketch

This is my page for the Pencil Lines sketch.
I started with kraft paper for this page and I love the finished product. The only challenge was photographing the kraft paper. I think that the paper does not photograph very well. The flowers are pink foil from candy for the Tricks with a Treat!
Thank you Pencil Lines for allowing us to join you this week.
