Dreams Do Come True

A little over twenty years ago I married my high school sweetheart. I'm loving the life we have built together. Today I have a layout I made featuring a photo from our 20th anniversary. Used the new Simple Stories SN@P! Love Card Set for this one. 

This SN@P! cut card that has 'Dreams do come true' die cut out of it was originally a beige color and since I wanted it to be black I simply sprayed with a black mist (Mr. Huey's Atmosphere). it worked awesome and held it's shape great without any warping.

The above glitter banner was made using Scor-Tape.

Some of the hearts that are floating out of the pocket are stickers from the sticker pack and the rest of them were made using some wafer thin metal dies from Papertrey Ink.

These new SN@P! Card sets are so versatile, great for layouts, cards, or Project Life type documenting.

While the boys were away...

the girls played!

For the last couple of years, right after school has let out for the summer, my husband has taken the boys and gone on a little road trip to North Dakota. While they were gone I wanted to document the time that my daughter and I spent together. We started with a list of things that she wanted to do and then just worked our way through that list.

This layout was made using My Mind's Eye Kate & Co.- Cambridge Court.

The green arrow border around my grid is washi tape.

Stamped the little hearts and then embellished them with enamel dots.

Love me some girl time with my little one!!!!

Happy HOT Monday morning to you all. Wowza is it warm! Yesterday we were lucky enough to be out on the boat and swimming in the middle of the lake. Unfortunately today is back to reality, so thankful for A/C.

Today I have a layout to share with you from My Mind's Eye. This one was based upon an inspirational collage of photos (you can see it HERE...scroll down to June 3rd). First, I loved the colors. I am pretty sure that this was a color scheme that I would not have come up with on my own, but I love how they look together...bright, happy and a touch of glimmery gold!

This one used a mix of products from many different collections: Lost & Found 3 Ruby, Collectable Remarkable, Lime Twist, Miss Caroline, Stella & Rose-Hazel, The Sweetest Thing-Tangerine, Find Your Wings and Fly- Up & Away and Spread Your Wings, Indie Chic- Ginger.

I love pulling an assortment of items from different collections. My Mind's Eye always impresses me with how well their products play off of one another!

Off to water my flowers or else they are going to wither away to nothing!

Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome first day of summer!!!

My kids are out of school, the boys are gone to North Dakota, Natasha and I are enjoying girls' week, and the One Doubles tennis season is in full swing....all of which means one thing, it must be summer!!!

Since today is the first day of summer I thought this would be the perfect day to share my latest Simple Stories layout and card with you.

Both of the following projects feature the I {Heart} Summer collection...my FAVORITE Simple Stories line to date!

and a card...

Crafting mayhem is about ready to start in my household as brand spankin' new CHA products are starting to arrive. This means having to create lots of things under pressure. Up first is Simple Stories, and let me just say that if you are a fan of Simple Stories you will NOT be disappointed with their new releases!!!!! I don't know much yet about My Mind's Eye, what wee bit I know has me intrigued!

Hope you are all enjoying long, sunny, carefree summer days!!!!!!
