Creating today with Spring Breeze Entire Collection by Paris Designs

This kit is pack full of Spring papers, flowers, ribbons, and more in a huge variety of colors. Love creating with the wonderful kit!

Dad definitely made the moment special for Avery...she was having such fun!

Luke loves to climb trees...he was thrilled when we had our Mother's Day picnic at the park and there were several trees for him to climb!

I missed getting to do the Color Challenge at Deco-Pages.com in March...so I couldn't pass up selecting this wonderful kit to create with this month! You can see some previews of this kit here in my blog or in the store at Deco-Pages!

Though the challenge is over the kit is still available in the store for a great price!

"Let us help you to always remember!" beyond Memorial Day

Those of us in the US have just celebrated Memorial Day. Each country honors the day differently, even on different days. But it comes down to the same thing; paying tribute to those we loved who are no longer with us. We visit the cemeteries, leave flowers; we tend to talk more about our missing family members with family and friends. Remember when.... And then there was the time.... Sharing memories with others and remembering them ourselves. We don't need a special day to pass on memories of those we love, nor should we wait until they are gone to remember. We can be creating pages of every day events and making pages about those we care about now. Let them share in our thoughts and dreams while they are still around. We can see and hear their reactions. We can pass our everyday lives on for our future generations. We can share our heritage from our memories for our future generations. We don't have to wait for Memorial Day... we can start today . "Let us help you to always remember!"

Creating today with Summer Romance - Designs by CAZ

Absolutely love these two LOs I now of of my Grandchildren presenting their mom a bouquet of wildflowers ... Carol's Summer Romance Kit was just perfect and so fun to work with!

On the way to meet DD and family for a Mother's Day picnic, we stopped and I cut some wildflowers and made two little bouquets for Luke and Avery to give to their mother for Mother's Day. I sent them to the ice chest to get a *surprise* for mom. Luke carried his behind his back even though Avery had her in full display...like mom couldn't know what he had also. He was so cute as he slightly bowed and gave his flowers to mom...hence the inspiration for the title.

The flower presentation happened pretty quickly but I managed to get two photos of Avery so I featured the one of her looking down in this wonderful hanging frame.

Love my two page spread from this wonderful kit.

Here's the 3 LOs.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to my daughter, Jennifer

Yesterday I made a card for my oldest daughter, mother to my 2 grandchildren. I just love it when random pictures turn out to be perfect for a special project. Had the kids last weekend and we took pictures after church. Wildflowers are a little thin due to lack of rain, but there were a few in the field in front of our house. The kids sat down and I just snapped a picture as they were getting settle and Luke was picking a flower. Avery had already picked a buttercup earlier. It was scratchy so they wanted to stand up...I asked them to show me their flowers. Below is the Mother's day card I made for my daughter...how perfect were these photos!

Inside top quote: Wildflowers are one of God's greatest creations designed not only to give beauty to the world but also for His little children to pick and give to their mothers.

Kit used here is Michaele Burkhart of Burkhart Scrapzone Designs contribution to the June 08 Club Kit "Garden Party" at Deco-Pages.com

I'm spending my day making more Mother's Day Cards. Just made this online card for my friend Lindsay who I first met online when her first son, Owen, was about 7 months old. Then came Noah...and just a few months ago baby Isaac was born. I have scrapped these precious boys some and plan on many more LOs of them in the years to come. We have several things in common or should I say opposite in this first instance...she has 3 boys...I have 3 girls...now grown but stair-stepped, too! We both have Myasthenia Gravis which adds challenges to everyday life especially raising young children. Mine were 5th, 7th, and 9th grade when I was diagnosed...those busy teen years, but they could do lots for themselves, so I had it much easier than Lindsay. I have such an admiration for this young lady whose greatest desire is to be a wonderful mother to these 3 little guys in spite of the challenges MG sends her way from time to time. Her faith is amazing and always an inspiration to me.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, LINDSAY!

I made cards for all the children in my Sunday School class to give to their moms for Mother's Day. I get to play and design the fronts and the kids color the inside just especially for mom.
Here's the daughter of the lady who helps me with the class...to the right is the inside of the card that the kids get to color.
