Grandparents

Hello Everyone,

Today, I'm posting a layout featuring a photo of my in-laws surrounded by all their grandchildren. This was taken almost two years ago at my in-laws' 50th anniversary. It's difficult now to catch all the grandkids together since several are grown & have their own schedules. Having everyone there was great for my in-laws & this photo is a wonderful souvenir.

I used a page from Graphic 45's Secret Garden collection. The design is so pretty, featuring birds & nests, birdcages & keys. I thought this represented family very well, creating a home & caring for your family. I think my layout is a great souvenir of a special day.

'PUR'

Hello Everyone,

I'm posting a layout I created today featuring photos of our baby Tad. He's our big, fat cat! We spoil him rotten and he takes full advantage! We love to fuss over him & take pictures of him. So I just had to create a layout to put in our family album because he is a big part of our family.

Siblings

Hello Everyone,

Today I'm posting a picture of a layout I've created recently. This one features a photo of my husband (in the pink shirt), his 2 brothers & sister. This was a picture taken last year when everyone was together and makes a great souvenir for the whole family. I just had to create a pretty page--these are special moments that need to be remembered.

Italian Picnic

Hello Everyone,

Today, I'm sharing a layout I created using Webster's Pages' Fly I Kite' background paper & featuring a photo I took a few years ago. This was taken at a family "picnic". For my husband's Italian family, sandwiches just won't do. For their "picnics", it's got to be pasta. Cooking pasta outdoors for a "picnic", or even at the beach, is what's expected. Needless to say, we've often had some funny looks from other picnickers & beach-goers!

Christmas Spirit in May

Hello Everyone,

Today, I submitted a double-page layout for Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine's challenge. It features three photos of my girls with Santa when they were little. It's quite different to be using holiday papers & embellishments in May but at the same time I feel less pressure with time constraints. 

I try to stay as close to possible to the sketch being used for the challenge when I'm creating my layouts. I find it more challenging that way. I think my creation is quite successful.

May Sparkle Challenge

Hello Everyone, Today, I've submitted my layout to Craft-e-Corner's May Sparkle Challenge. It features a cute picture of my daughter when she was around 18 months old. She was sitting at the table & placed herself in that position all on her own. I was glad I had my camera near by to get the photo. And for those who think she was unprotected, she was tied into her baby chair. I tried to create a page that represented her kooky character, which she still has to this day! Please 'like it' & 're-pin it' on Pinterest so I can win a prize! Keep Crafting! Delia

Scrapbook Day

Hello Everyone, Happy International Scrapbooking Day! I hope all you crafters will have fun creating some beautiful stuff. Unfortunately for me, I have a family function today of all days & won't be able to do anything. I'll be thinking about it all day, though, and I'll be envious of all of you & all the fun I'm missing! I'm posting a recent creation to make up for the lack of it today! Keep Crafting! Delia

Happy Birthday Amanda

Today is my baby's 22nd Birthday! It seems like only yesterday she was tearing around the house throwing things around--her nickname was bouldozer back then. How I miss those days (not really!). She's all grown up now & is a wonderful young lady & a fantastic hairdresser. I'm posting a page layout featuring her prom photos taken at home before leaving for the party. This reminds me of how much she's matured since then and how quickly time passes. I don't know how many more birthday celebrations I'll be hosting until I'll be going to see her at her house instead. Keep Crafting, Delia
