Miller with Papa Miller

Being a grandparent, I have to look through my pictures of the "grands" every once and a while.  I came across this photo of Miller with his Papa Miller and thought it was so precious and reminded me of this quote I had used once before.  Not sure whose more satisfied...Miller or Papa!  Went to "Jewelled Sea" and found what I needed for this "non-sea" photo.  The rustic frame with screws is perfect as Papa Miller is a carpenter.  Love the soft blended background paper, too!  Check out the previews of "Jewelled Sea" HERE!  You might find just what you need for a "non-sea" photo as well!

Vacation 2011

Pages with "Jewelled Sea" 

Helen is back from her beach vacation, too!  And she brought four new seashells back to add to her Jewelled Sea kit!  Downloaded them first thing this morning and you'll see them in this page along with two that were already in the kit.  I blended two photos with this fun background paper and added seashells, fish, turtle, and anchor to fill in the spaces!  Here's the two photos used.  Judging from all the squints, the sun was shining very bright!

Vacation Smiles

The South Padre Island vacationers are back home!  Have just seen a few photos, but know they all had fun.  Love this silhouette photo of Avery and her friend.  I wanted to see their faces and I started playing with the photo.  Kinda liked the one that turned the ocean green and it gave me to idea for this LO.  The closeup is a little grainy but you can see the smiles.  Helen's seahorse is dressed to match the girls!  You can pick  up this adorable seahorse freebie HERE!

Beach Boy

Ok...after loading Avery's page with elements, I decided Luke's page needed all the metallic elements.  Don't have a really close up photo here of Luke, but as you can tell, he was always on the move.  I think it is fun to see how much fun Luke had playing in that great big ocean and massive beach!  The family is headed home today from spending the past week on South Padre Island...can't wait to see photos from their trip.  Thinking Luke's page for this trip will be Beach Dude, but will see what pictures will be used.

Even with all the elements I used in these two pages, there are so many more in Helen's Jewelled Sea kit.  There also quite a number of wonderful frames and papers.  See them all HERE!

Beach Baby

I have been waiting for Luke and Avery to go South Padre Island this summer to have some beach pictures of them to use with Retro Designs' Jewelled Sea kit.  Then I remembered their trip in 2008 and found these photos!  OMG, Avery is so young.  The font I used is called "Adorable" and it also describes Avery and all the elements Helen included in this kit.  I may have gone over board on how many I used, but I love all of them!   You can see previews of "Jewelled Sea" HERE! and you can pick up this adorable seahorse freebie while there!  It will be fun to scrap this years' photos of Avery on the beach...thinking maybe a title of Beach Beauty. 

 

Happy Birthday LaChelle!

Today, July 7th, is my youngest daughter's birthday.  We celebrated early on Sunday while all of the out of town nieces and nephews were home for the 4th!  Baby Miller is looking on as others sing Happy Birthday to LaChelle.  Reese looks mesmerized by the candle.  We were also celebrating LaChelle getting to come home after 13 days in the hospital.  Helen's swirls, jewelled staples, and papers from "Jewelled Sea worked great for this birthday memory!

You can see previews of "Jewelled Sea" HERE!  And, there's some freebies from this kit available, too!
