circa 1958

I made this page for a gift. I used Teresa Collins, Karen Foser and Basic Grey papers and cutouts. Stamp is close to my heart. Clock stencil is crafters workshop. Unknown chipboard. Fabric brown leaf ribbon that I bought in Victoria while visiting. Really nice little shop there. I think it was called stampers. EK and MS punches. Sewing. Various inks. Fabric store lace. Kaisercraft rub on. This is the first photo I ever restored. Restored it in 2004 or 2005 I think. It took me days and lots of internet searching for directions. Used photoshop elements. It was very creased and damaged. The photo is actually sepia but looks kind of pink in this photo. Just a cell phone picture as I finished this page and gave it away in the same afternoon.

4 Generations




I made this page as a gift several years ago. I no longer remember the products I used. I know I used the cricut for the title and some old bits from the garage. I totally redid the photo. I was taken in a kitchen during a family get together and the background was very cluttered and busy.

My beautiful Olivia out at the barn with her mom. They both love going out to see the horses. New stampin up pattern papers. Tim Holtz and recollections stamps. MS punch. Dusty Attic chipboard. Unknown pearls. Doily is inked and stamped a bit. Old prima flowers. Jennibowlin chipboard buttons. K&Co letters. Unknon ribbon. Sewing. Unknown lace and burlap. Cell phone photo of the page so will take a better one soon and update it. Really happy with this page. I always like the softer looks.

Last Campfire


One year ago today we lost my dad. He loved a campfire. We all miss him a lot.

Olivia at the pool


Our beautiful Olivia this summer at my sister's pool. The family got together for mom's visit. The photo of this page is poor and I will try and replace it soon. Used up items from my stash. EK and MS punches. Sizzix dies. Kiaserkraft wooden word and leaves and stamps. Flowers are old prima ones I think. Came in a glass jar. Used an old antique sewing machine for the stitching. A gift from my mom. Really glad noone else in the family wanted it. GCD Studios pattern paper. Unknown card stock. Little Yellow Bicycle stamp. Prima crystals.

Beautiful Olivia


Got some really great shots of my perfect little granddaughter. What a little beauty. Didn't write down the supplies but I am pretty sure these are right: Used DCWV paper pad pp. Green Tara crystal flourish. Prima pearl flourish. Fabuscraps wooden words. Quilled dragonflyies and hearts. MS lace butterflies. Belgium fabrick lace. SB die. MS and EK punches. My daughter loves this page and wants it to hang in her office. Now that I have it on my blog I will give it to her. Always fun when someone wants a page.

Cranky Livy


Love this photo of my little granddaughter in a cranky mood. She usually is so happy. I had a cranky day and when I told my daughter she laughed and said "Livy too" and sent me this photo. I had to scrap it.  Made some little quilled ducks and a quilled flower for this page. Cut out a printed butterfly from a web site. Pretty sure it was swirly doos. DCWV pp. EK and MS punches. SB dies. Belgium fabric lace. Dollar store buttons. Handmade flowers.
