Grandma Day With Jayden

I try to make time for grandchildren to have a special day or a couple of hours with me. Recently Jayden and I were able to plan such a day. We went out to lunch and made crafts. I had started a project of making Valentine banners so when she saw my creative mess she wanted to make a banner of her own. This is what she came up with. I only helped a little. Way to be amazing Jayden!!

Her are two of the banners I created. I ended up making five more. All unique from the others.

This one with the old fashioned telephone ended up with a cute speech bubble saying, "Just called to say I Love You."

I was able to get a banner mailed to each of my children before I left on a spontaneous car trip to Nauvoo, Illinois with Jayden and her family. Note to self- don't EVER take that long of a car trip ever again!

I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day!

Embellished With Lots Of Love

. . . and with lots and lots of lovely embellishments. Is there a point where too much becomes great! I sure hope so, since that was my goal for this particular page. I was going for a gushy amount of love and sentiment. There are over fifty embellishments if you count each rhinestone, ribbon, paper, rub-on, silk flower, card, saying, brad, tulle, and metal do-dad that made it's way onto this page. OXOX



Scrapping is so much fun!!!!

Do you have a favorite over the top page you have done?



Gonna Send Some Love

The adorably cute and simple 'February' paper designed by Crate Paper inspired some Valentine card making at my house. I think the XOXO paper is very charming. Notice that I emphasised a few hugs and kisses with glitter? I would love to see what creative ways you find to use this February 14th collection.
