Catching up on scrapbook pages !

Ok I know I said I was making a page a day and I only missed a couple of days last week. But I haven't posted them on my blog so here they are.
I received more templates from Kiwi lane designs so was playing with spook alley border template and wacky accesorie set.
The first 5 pictures also show the great paper from Echo ark paper called "Sweet Summertime". This is actually designed by someone I Know Crystal Wilkinson For those in My ward at church. she is Bishop and Sister Clarks daughter ,The papers are available at scrapbook lady in Lewisburg or online. She has been designing digital for a while. I'm just not a Digital kinda gal :-) . So I love that she is designing physical papers that I can play with. I wish her well and I hope she designs many more great papers.

Combining papers
These are some Making memories papers I have had a while. I really didn't care for the paisley print in this pack. But Now I have been Introduced to the kiwi lane way of scrapbooking I am trying papers I would have used before . When you use just a small amount on this border and it's combined with the other patterns in this set I Love it. I actually made 2 double page layouts the same one for me and one to give away. I plan on giving this away at the end of this Month as part of the family celebration and added who ever wins family name to the top of the page.So be sure to be a follower of my blog and I will be posting details at the end of the month.

I know this isn't your traditional " back to school page" but I wanted to use some pretty papers and to convey My daughters style in her back to school page this year so I used these baby girl papers by Basic Grey

Black white and pink are one of my favorite color combos. I made this page without any specific pictures in mind I just wanted to try out these papers that I bought from Paper loft in a pad I'm sure I will use it for some black and White pics of My Daughter

You will probably want to click on the above picture to see better details . My camera died right after I took this picture or I would of took more details This is a page for My sons album with some pictures of him when he was younger.

Many more pages will be coming soon. I have been trying to catch up a little before it gets crazy busy with my  Bows business soon.

I Love My Husband!

Family Proclamation quote" Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities".

I Love My husband he is My best friend, My love and My eternal companion and I am so grateful for that He lives the above principles every day and I am so grateful for that he is such a support for our family. He is a wonderful father and a great example of Christlike love for Our kids . and he is  an amazing Husband.

We are only human and as with any other couple may not agree on everything. But I love that he treats me with respect and love and that I will be with him for eternity . But as it says on this scrapbook page he is the
" Gift that made all My dreams come true"

Pages were made with Kiwi-lane templates and Bo Bunny papers

Kiwi Lane designs I Love them!

If you haven't heard of them be sure to check them out. and watch some of their videos.And get inspired
I hadn't scrapbooked in a while and was in a funk  these helped me  make some great looking pages .These templates help,  by laying out your page with templates before you cut into your paper. Believe me it saves on paper and also  helps you make some great layers on your pages .and frames your pictures beautifully
. I love these templates and the Owners are so great,actually. I  Spoke to Susan in Cedar city Utah  today So sweet.

Here are some pages I have made with the templates so far,
I have Madison Avenue, Paisley place and Floral Tiny templates.

 

As you can see the florals aren't that tiny. I embossed the flowers with My cuttlebug . These are Beckys prom pages . the Black and white swirl paper is glittered and so Pretty . But doesn't show in the pics.
I made some more pages last night and this morning . But haven"t taken pictures yet.
I am actually waiting until I receive My New camera which will take much better Pictures.

I just ordered Spook Alley borders and Wacky accessories can't wait to receive them. So check back in this month when I continue to make some pages with these wonderful templates.
I still Love my Cricut But these go hand in hand. Make a great layout then add some Cricut embellishments then I'm done.
I plan on making a Scrapbook  page a day In September more details to follow as to why I am inspired to do this.

KIWI LANE Thanks for the Inspiration and motivation
