Everday Moments Journal

Teresa Collins Everyday Moments Paper, Paper Valise Letter C,  Baker's Twine, Assorted Ribbons & Charm

Love the bees and flowers

 I fell in love with this paper, so I decided to make a journal for my sister.  I used some 7 gypsies stickers and rub-ons for decoration as well as assorted brads from my stash.  Stay tuned for Part 2

Typewriters are a fave motif

Wedding Money holder 

I made this wedding money holder from paper I had in my stash.  I created the rosette from vintage sheet music and then embossed the edges with pewter embossing powder.  I added the Thickers letters and grosgrain ribbon to finish it off.

Baby Card

The base of this card is made from Tim Holtz card stock, layered with Graphic 45 printed paper, Prima flowers and a Basic Grey button.  I also used Martha Stewart Punches for the edge and butterflies

We went to Cuba this winter for a quick holiday and thought I would share a few favorite pics.  I love the resourcefulness of the Cuban people. 

Old Photos

I love old photos, and I'm lucky that I have inheritated a few good ones of both sides of my family.  This is one of my great aunt.  I had picked up this silver hairbrush, comb and make up brush set at a thrift store and thought it looked great with Aunt Sanie's picture.  It sits on my antique dressing table.

Wonder and Magic

When I was a toddler, I remember a fellow coming to my grandparents house who could make things disappear.  Fast forward forty-five plus years, I happened to be wondering through a local thrift shop and what do I spy?  The little ceramic rabbit that used to be used in the magic tricks.  This rabbit came in a plastic bag along with the bear and smaller rabbit for a whopping price of $1.99.  This cheerful trio now reside on my bookcase, to remind me that we don't always understand everything that we see, or everything that happens in life.

Fun Dogsitting?

I was babysitting my daughter's miniature Australian Shepherd puppy named Titan the last few days. He is a little wisp of a dog, but holds his own with Jackson our Malamute Cross puppy.  The two of them are adept at getting into mischief when they are together.  Digging holes in the back yard, as well as moving sod and plants.  I know that Jesse does not appreciate their attempts at Dogstyle Landscaping!
