Happy Birthday, Susanne!

You all don't know Susanne, but take my word she is pretty fabulous!  She is one of my co-workers and a darn good Speech-Language Pathologist.  So when her birthday popped up on my calendar I knew I needed to get my creative on!

(Please forgive the iphone photo of this card.  With the time change it is dark when I go to work and dark when I get home from work, so this iphone photo was taken at work just so I could share it with all of you.)

My inspiration for this card are the simple hexagon stickers I used with the sentiments.  Simple, yet perfect for a card.  They were left over from last month's Scrappy Chic's Kit.  I used Helmar ZapDots on the back of the hexagons to give them a bit of lift off the paper.

Supplies:
Cardstock ~ Papertrey Ink
Paper ~ Memory Box
Stickers ~ Teresa Collins
Twine ~ The Twinery
Glues ~ Helmar

Happy Birthday, Susanne!

Chase -n- Cuteness

I am giggling at the title of my post this morning. 

I came up with that before 7 AM & before I finished my first cup of coffee.

Today I am sharing some more layouts of my adorable grandson, Chase.

The first two layouts are full of more older Fancy Pants papers. 

"Love you to the moon and back" has been one of my favorite sayings since my children were young. In fact, I still say it to my Lily girl before she goes to bed every night.  It is the perfect title to go with these papers.  I kept this layout streamlined and colorful so when I frame it to put on my "wall of layouts" it will catch your eye. 

Supplies:

Cardstock ~ Bazzill

Papers ~ Fancy Pants 

Alphas ~ Making Memories & American Crafts

"Welcome to Acton Shore"

I actually staged this photo because the outfit made me giggle.The velour sweatsuit 

with the big white tube socks reminded me of the show Jersey Shore.  

I will add some journaling somewhere on this layout so in 20 years when no one gets my reference in the title they will understand how this outfit made me laugh.  

Supplies:

Cardstock ~ Bazzill

Paper ~ Fancy Pants

Alphas ~ Glitz Design, Cosmo Cricket, Fancy Pants

Ribbon & Eyelets ~ Misc.

"I Made The List!"

Holy Christmas Cuteness!

Chase was such a ham for his first Christmas.

The photos are adorable. 

Wouldn't you agree?

This layout needed dimension & I wanted color without distracting from 

Chase's cuteness. Buttons are always a great color pop when you need 

just a bit more.  Since I am not a delicate flower in handling my layouts

I have found that Helmar 450 is the only adhesive to keep my buttons

on a page from creation to album.  

Supplies:

Paper ~ October Afternoon

Cardstock ~ Bazzill

Twine ~ The Twinery

Journal Spot ~ Glitz Designs

Alphas ~ American Crafts & Creative Memories

Flair ~ American Crafts 

Glue ~ Helmar

May you have a little cuteness in your day!
