Long Time

Wow, It's been a long time since I posted anything on here. Life has been so crazy for my family. We've been through so many ups and downs in 2014 that I just didn't have the time or even want to post.

Now, we're into 2015 and things are starting to look up. I hope to start posting again. I haven't done much in the scrapping realm because all of my supplies are packed up. Hopefully in a few weeks I will be able to unpack them and get back to business.

I am this layout over the holidays. It was for a challenge I posted on Cookin' Up Creations on December 22nd - Ornamental 

I created a 2 page layout - I titled it Special Ornaments. I took pictures of the each of our kids holding their baby's first Christmas ornaments. Then all the of the children, hubby & I  holding a special angel ornament that we bought for the baby we lost in 2009. The large family picture has all of us and the angel.

Close up of page 1. I hand cut the two ornaments from pattern paper and added sequins to decorate them.

Close up of page 2.

I love that I got to use older paper from my stash for this layout. I was able to include some newer items to create this 2 pager.

What No Blogging!?!?!

I know I haven't blog in 2 months crazy. I have worked on layouts & tags but I haven't blogged about any of it. Things have been a bit crazy over here. I promise to get better about it.

A Few layouts I completed recently...
