Olivia Flower Moore

No, her middle name isn't Flower, but that is what her big sister told me when she came to visit her new sister at the hospital. I thought it was the cutest thing ever.

I found this paper at a yard sale and liked the peach looking paper behind it, but it wasn't peach it was more orange, so I added velum on top and it made it the right color. I also added paint to the large flower to make it the right color. Look at your supplies in new ways to make them work for you. Add velum, ink, paint, or chalks to create a whole new look.

I bought a new pack of these white glitter letters at Hobby Lobby. I had run out of ways to Frankenstein them, so I had to get more.

 I watered down my paint and brushed it on the flower to get it the right shade. I also used up so old Prima flowers on this layout, and yes, I moved that rhinestone back to center after I took the picture.

Dogs

Isaac, my oldest grandson, loves animals, but he is allergic to most fur bearing creatures. Sometimes he leaves my house with very red cheeks and swollen eyes if he lets the dogs lick him.

As always, a combination of collections

Beautiful Smile

Sweet Aria

I mix and match collections all the time. This paper and the smile chipboard came in a collection that I picked up at a yard sale. I love how it mimics her blanket. The butterfly, sunshine, and beautiful came from a paper pack that Aria's mom and dad gave me. The black strip of patterned paper on the bottom is from a branding strip.

I had a little zebra stripped ribbon that I added to this. I also liked the combination of rhinestones and enamel dots on this.

Open Close It

Jace loves anything with moving parts and loves to open and close our sliding glass door.

I chalked the light blue letters a bit darker.

The large enamel circle is an old earring. I have another just like it. :)

One photo shoot - two different looks

Two of my little grandchildren gave me pictures, and I made pages for each of their books. I wanted Kayana's page to be more feminine, and Vincent's page to be more boyish.

Here is my take on their pictures.

This one is for Kayana's book. I went with the colors of her skirt and their tops.

 I added some fussy cut flowers from patterned paper and a few sticker brads.

For Vincent's page I pulled the colors from his riding toy and their tops. I added a little chalking to the white paper.

The title is old foam stickers from Target's dollar spot. I also had this little frame and added a button and a star. The brads are old ones from my stash. I like enamel dots a lot better, but I am determined to use what I have. I'd love to see your new take on old supplies.

I Love You

This little guy is such a happy boy.

I found a yard sale over the summer where the lady was selling collections of paper. Total score.

I patterned my title on his shirt. I used old chipboard painted red and sticker letters.

Mr. Serious

Our normally smiley little grandson was having a serious day.
 Most of this paper came from a yard sale. I bought the enamel dots from Amazon.
