Its good to be king......

Okay, seriously - look at that photo and tell me this title 

doesn't rock the page. By Tom Petty.

It's good to be king, if just for a whileTo be there in velvet, yeah, to give 'em a smile
It popped into my head.

So I know I'm right.

Sweet Lou with his crown, and a smudged snoot.

As a little boy should look.

Adorable.

Just kind of tossing things about, looking for some mojo.

I even cut papers with my scissors and not my trimmer.

It drove me wild but I stayed the course.

And it was tough. 

Goes against everything I need straight in my head.

LOL.

Scary I know.

Used some Jillybean soup, Basic Grey, Sassafrass Lass, Bella Blvd for papers,

 Little Yellow Bicycle alphas, Cosmo Cricket journaling cards,

Creative cafe ribbon, arrow, Studio Calico enamels.

Tossed some Lettuce mist about by Ranger.

Delight

And this photo does indeed delight.

From the backlight, to guessing what is the backlight.

To their smiles.

To their delight in each other.

Did some distressing and wanted the photo to shine.

So I kept things to a minimum through layering; papers,

lace (April's lace) and edging and even the colors. And the Kaiser craft papers
made me swoon. I whacked them up so I could use both sides.
And of course bling.

I had forgotten how delightful (couldn't help it)

the QK alpha emily is. After searching through

TONS (seriously) of thickers that really didn't work with

the vision I had going on I was like oh man, die cuts.

Seriously it was then I wondered when did I get so lazy???

And that wonderful pink flower is total stash.

Anyone remember Creative Imaginations?

I am totally delighted with this.

:)

YOUR challenge over at SNC for Maddawg's Madcap is to use lace on your page.

New Powderoom....

Took a bit of license on the spelling. I had no more R's and ran out of room.

I decided that my beautiful bathroom makeover,

that was a long time coming, deserves a special page.

I love how it turned out. 

Got to use my vintage stuff from a Swirly Doo kit.

And remember those goofy carnations from Prima? Used a bunch of them too.

I had a ton of primas all in their pretty bottles and I got this

genius idea to dump them all in one big super satchel.

Of course all the flowers are scattered throughout and it took awhile to find them all.

Explain to my why I did it again.

I even used my gelatos for the background.

It came out sort of pink.

And I love that I finally worked in that birdbath.

And the birds. 

oooooooooooooooooo

Snot Me!

Hilarious photo!

Revenge by the little miss on being banned from the kitchen and other fun things.

Love pix like this.

She'll hate when she's older. And won't that be fun....

Some creative imagination (I think), basic grey, 7 gypsies and thickers.

Had a lovely 4th despite the rains that blew in an out. Friends piled in bringing FOOD. Lots of  FOOD. In fact there was so much food, we're partying again tonight so we can attempt to finish up the FOOD. Come on down and join us. We have tons leftover. The fireworks were not detered my any ole storm and were absolutely amazing. I love fireworks now - hated them when I was a kid. Imagine that.

God Bless America!

Have a wonderful 4th!

May we do the Founding Fathers proud.

Incognito

So now we know spiderman's true identity.

He's a girl.

Must've been her day off as spidey is dressed quite casually in a tee and blingy sandals while looking to cast her web. 

In putting the page together I was trying to find a web casting paper and found it with a Studio Calico transparency. The big camera came from cutouts for a project life pad. The banner and mat paper has gelato smeared all over it with some mist. (I think I may have used it up now). 

Smile

You just have to laugh at this because it appears there's trouble in the back seat between brothers.

Shocking I know.

Obviously, they're in close proximity, side-by-side. So seriously what could go wrong other than the usual:

He's looking at me.

He's touching me.

I wanted to sit by the window.

Love the photo - good blackmail material when they're older. My favorite kind.

Using the Recollections stash I've had forever and the flags were created with some gelato and mist.

And in a creative frame of mind  - I painted the wood veneer astericks. RED. out.of.control. LOL!
