"daydreaming" ~ this was a layout mini kit from the Oasis from back in the day.
"Love you" ~ again, another mini kit from the Oasis.
"Says like this" ~ this was a layout from the Karen Russel's transparency kit.
"True Love" ~ this was a Teresa Collin's class layout.
With this being the year of use it up, I went through some old stuff and worked on this layout today. I received the papers last year when Heather and I went on a scrapbook cruise from a class that Candice Carpenter taught. Now I don't even remember what her layout looked like, but this is what I came up with! I love it. Picture is of my Pat and I in Red Rock Canyon just down the street from the famous bright lights of the Las Vegas Strip.
Saturday was Ryan's birthday and we met up with he and Darleen and Rylee at Disneyland for a few hours. We found Jingles the famous horse on the carousel. You know it is Jingles by the jingle bells hanging down off the horse. Notice the hidden Mickey on Jingles blanket. That is what makes this particular horse famous.
The park is decorated for Christmas and it is more magical at night. Once again this year it snows inside the park. We stayed until late in the evening to watch the fireworks. We also watched the swing dancers. I have to tell you, those young people can really boggie to the old big band songs, but a few of the older dancers put them to shame! One day. it will be Patrick and I out there dancing. One of us will need lessons 1st (umm - that would be me).
I know this picture of Jillian isn't the clearest, but it love it. What you can't see in the scan is the letters "jillian ann" are glittery and there are stickles on the heart making it glittery as well. The patterned papers and chipboard are Basic Grey from the Lemonaid line. The heart is a Cuttlebug embossing/cutting die.
This layout is actually a make-n-take from the Reflections event last spring. I only had to add pictures, a rub on and some journaling. (I just noticed the scan the trim slipped)
I love this picture of Anthony. It is so good to see him smiling. This layout features some Creating Imaginations paper, Tim Holtz paper and stamp and some Hiedi Swap ribbon and digital stamp.
This was a very simple layout using a transparency.
Again a very simple layout using the Graphic 45 papers.
Isn't this just the cutest picture of Mandre!! I used papers from the Basic Grey Boxer line, Tim Holtz paper and my Cricut to cut the embellishments out.
This is a layout that is a take off from one of the classes I took at the Oasis recently. The Boys of Summer was cut once again using my Cricut and Sure Cuts A Lot software from a file I found on the internet.
Lookie here at Miss Rylee. Isn't she just a doll? This layout won me 1st place at the retreat this weekend in the holiday category. The spider web at the top of the page was cut using my Cricut too. I guess I did use that bug this weekend.
This is Arianna's 3rd grade picture - in case you didn't already figure this out. I cut the scallop frame and the label frame out on my Cricut electronic cutter using the Sure Cuts A Lot software and some files I found on the internet. 
When we came back from dinner they had the drawings for the weekend. I entered a layout that I made this weekend in the holiday catagory. Guess what, I won 1st place!! This is my granddaughter Rylee as Bat Girl. Isn't she just the cutest? (thank you Darleen for sending me these pictures!)
So far, I have completed 15 of the 22 charms (I ran out of clasps and jump rings) I needed to make for a charm swap I am envolved with and 6 layouts. I am hopeful that I will complete a few more before I leave tomorrow.
Thank you to all who served. 
If you go to Jessica Sprague's website, they have the above frames available for download today and tomorrow for FREE. Aren't they just the cutest?? Turns out that today is Digital Scrapbooking Day and this is their way of celebrating!! While you are there, they are also offering a free Christmas class. Check it out.
Anthony has been working on a quilt for Michele. This is some of his progress.
Doesn't that just melt your heart!
Girlfriends meeting up!
Little Miss Amara Rose out for a morning stroll!
Don't you just wonder what those whispers were about?? (Ugh - I hate my scanner, there is white pen work all around this layout and the scanner cut the right side and the bottom off.)
This is a layout I did from when my BFF and I went on a cruise together to Ensenada Mexico. I did this layout for a triple challenge at Practical Scrappers, Frosted Designs & Stuck on U Sketches. The challenge was to use the provided sketch, 3 different kinds of ribbon and an owl. I think I squeezed all 3 in and I love what I came up with!!!
Congratulations Son! We are so proud of you!!
Hope your day is filled with thankgiving and good food! (We will miss you Gino and Frannie around the table!)
