Layouts for Stacia from the Lasting Memories Design Team

Stacia, one of the members of the Lasting Memories Design Team,was recently married.  The team thought, in honor of her wedding, we would create some layouts and send them to her to share how happy we are for her.  

Here is the first double page layout I created " A New Beginning"

Leaves from Luau and title from Life's a Beach 

Here is the second two page layout for Stacia

Cuts Wedding Cart and Inspired Heart for title 

Best wishes to Stacia and her family and big hugs.
Hope she enjoys all the layouts she will receive.  

"What a Year" -either year in review or resolutions for Sweet Sassy Diva

So hard to believe it is 2012.  For the Sweet Sassy Diva Design Team Challenge this week we were to either make a project reviewing 2011 or  resolutions for 2012. Since I don't really do resolutions  I decided to make a scrapbook page reviewing 2011.  I wanted to share  how blessed I feel to have 3 sweet granddaughters. There is nothing better in the world right now than spending time with my sweet girls.  So for my page  I went through and picked some pics I liked  from the past year and printed them on my computer (which I believe is a 2 x 3 size.)  This was a lot  of fun and really brought back some memories.  For the background paper I used a sheet from  Tim Holtz Seasons Stack.  

By the way I got a new "good" camera for Christmas so hope my pictures will be better.  For now it is a learning process.  LOL

Here is the paper.  

Here is the collage I made.  

Then I cut out the title using my E2 and more Tim Holtz paper.  The Blessings title I found on Inspired Heart and I cut the title and the shadow at 2.4 so it would fit on the 12 " page.   I used Kate's ABC and cut 2011 at 1.5 page.    I taped the paper down with blue painters tape since my mat is really old.  

Next I took my chalks and chalked the edges of the shadow cuts as I didn't want the white edging to show.  

I also decided to add a little bling so I cut pieces from these beaded swirls 

This is what the title ended up looking like with the added beads.  I also cut pieces and added beads to the letters 2011 to make them stand out more.   

I hope you have enjoyed this project and will leave a comment.  Wishing you all a Happy, healthy, crafty 2012.  Please come back to Sweet Sassy Diva  all week to see the other projects the DT creates.

Easter Tree-

 I bought this little metal tree last year after Easter as I thought it would be fun to decorate for different holidays.  I used different cuts from the Easter 2010 cart. I tried to make it so it looked good from all sides.  I also used my new Tim Holtz rosette die, some little eggs and ribbon.  Sorry the pictures are not the best. Remember you can click on the picture to make  them  bigger.  On the top of the tree one side says Easter and one says Spring.  

Glory Card-

So fun making cute little bunny and chick projects but wanted to make a project sharing what I believe is the true meaning of Easter. I used the cross from the Easter cart and embossed the back ground paper with wood look folder.  Hung sheer ribbon around cross. Inside is sprayed with Glimmer Mist and I used cuts from Inspired Hearts. 
Tomorrow I will be posting a fullsize Easter Vintage look banner and another card.  Have a great day
