My Cutie

Such an old yet beloved picture of Eliyah, taken at my parents' house when we went there to visit in 2004. This child had a constant smile on her face, and was so easy to photograph!
I used papers from the Green at Heart collection from Basic Grey, and a piece of Basic Grey Basics called Manifest as the background.
I made the flower embellishment using some very old magic mesh I had in my stash, a punched scalloped circle, a button, some twine, and hand cut leaves. The Thickers are new, that I got on my recent shopping trip. I decided to use them instead of hoard them as I usually do!
For this layout, I used a sketch from Sketchy Thursdays.
This layout is also my submission for a Baby Girl layout, to Practical Scrappers.

Back to the old Mists!

I had to pull out my Glimmer Mists after a long while of them sitting neglected in the drawer for this challenge by Studio Calico, where we had to use a mist on old book paper. I didn't have any real book pages to use, but I found some nice text paper in my stash, by Making Memories. I think the patterned paper is by Cosmo Cricket, but I'm not sure, correct me if I'm wrong, and I got it from the very generous Ingrid!
Those Martha Stewart butterflies still haven't gotten old for me! I also used my trusty Cuttlebug butterfly die as well.

Sassy LIl' Sketches layout

Forgot to mention that this layout was done using a fantastic sketch by Sassy Lil' Sketches. I really enjoyed using this sketch, and it went great with the October Afternoon papers I wanted to use from the Fly a Kite collection.

Ein Yael

We went to this place on Chol Hamoed Sukkot, called Ein Yael, where the kids enjoyed a multitude of activities including stomping on grapes, painting fresca and milking a goat! There was so much to do there! The girls had a really great time, it was worth every minute in the heat!
For this layout I used October Afternoon and Basic Gray papers, and again made a handmade flower embellishment with my scallop circle punches, a button and some fibers. Also getting into stitching a bit on my layouts... and trying to use the Thickers I have in my stash, so I can justify buying more!

So Proud of Myself

Here is a layout I made using a Pencil Lines sketch.
Did a lot of distressing, and made a handmade flower embellishment using two scallop circle punches and some buttons and twine.
Used my new October Afternoon Fly a Kite papers for this- couldn't resist! Also used my new Basic Gray paper for the backgroud.

Huge Grin

I felt the need to go back and scrap Nili's baby pictures, and this huge grin was just irresistible to me!
I used Pencil Lines sketch 125 for my jumping off point here.

Bunny Purim

Eliyah dressed up as a bunny for her first four Purims....
I used Pencil Lines sketch 160 for this one.
