Going girly

Finally, the great thing about having granddaughters 

is being able to go girly. 

Love the boys but there is something about pearls,

bows and flowers.

Although I must admit I love boys, I love girly too.

So here we have new Studio Calico paper, my go-to doily heart,

October Afternoon card, Paper Studio pearls, prima flowers

of which I have an entire super satchel full.

(I've been slowly working my way through and not purchasing

any more flowers). Yay!

And those adorable little bows with pearls I found in the

wedding aisle at Michael's.

I did mist with my new Heidi Swapp and Mr. Huey and

it appears I managed to cover some of it up.

Ms. Amelia is at the beach, but since the background is artfully

blurred out, I went with the paper since it works

with the artfully blurred background.

Stay tuned for my tutorial on using household goods in scrapbooking.
Coming March 19th at Off the Rails Scrapbooking!

Faux stitch stamping

Say that 3 times fast. lol!!!

I did some stamping because I didn't want to break out the

ole sewing machine. And seriously why stamp 'm 

if you have them. And I have way too many.

I like how it looks - it ain't perfect but there's a lot of messy

stitching going on - so why not stamping.

Love the studio calico going on mixing new and old. 

And its all of it except

the stamp which I believe may be Technique Tuesday from back in the day.

I love Amelia cutting her teeth on a kettle ball.

She's a total crossfit baby.
