Kennedy Space Center Mini Album

Hello!

In 2016 we went to the Kennedy Space Center, it was an amazing experience.  Since we love science and all that stuff, having the opportunity of seeing the shuttles, equipment and all that information available there was a dream come true.  There is so much things to see, learn and explore that we couldn't see all, so we need to plan a new trip there, especially me, because I was pregnant at that moment and don't knew, so I was pretty sleepy all day, lol.

To remember this great experience I created a mini album, using the Gatefold XL Mini Album tutorial by Frances Long from Your Book of Memories.  You can see a flip through video of my mini not so mini album at the end of this post. 

Love You Forever Layout

Hi!
Last month I started working with this beautiful collection from Echo Park called You & Me.  Since this is a small collection, I fuzzy cut some designs from the papers to embellish the page.  I still have a few big pieces of paper and some stickers from the kit to create at least one more layout and maybe a few cards, let's see when I use it again, I'll be leaving it near my desk to use it soon. 



This layout is for my daughters, my biggest blessing, my biggest love.  I used photos of them of September 2018, when a friend of my husband did a photo shooting to us for our baby's second birthday and he took some photos of them together.  The light that day was not the best so the photos turned a little dark and greenish, I need to fix them a little but I already have all of them printed in 4"x6", I couldn't resist having them printed, now I need to use them.  This is why they look so bright.
As mentioned before, papers and stickers are from Echo Park You & Me collection kit.  The flowers and title were fuzzy cut from the papers.  Is a very simple and easy design, I made it pretty fast with a few pieces of papers and stickers only from the kit.

Hi!

A few month ago I bought my Silhouette Cameo 3 and immediately I started to cut some files, and the one in this layout is one of them.  I just cut them (still have others cut and ready to be backed) to test the machine without knowing what I'll was going to do with them but since I don't want to trough them away, I'll be using them.  This one was too big for, it would have been better to have it a little smaller, but I managed to use it the best way I can.

This photo was from 2016, I was 6 or 7 months pregnant and I was celebrating my 38th birthday.  My husband took this beautiful photo of me and our daughter at the beach.  Those days she always used flowers' headbands made by me and the one in the photo inspired me to use this beautiful papers from Pebbles My Bright Life collection by Jen Hadfield.

Darling Layout

Hello!

I began scrapbooking in 2004, at that time there were not so many tools and products available like now, so one of the techniques I used to do a lot was paper piecing, specially for cards.  I remember doing a card for some family members where I created a very cute doll, also some layouts.  A few years later die cutting machines came available and I continued to do paper piecing but with the electronic die cutters, which makes them easier.  Recently, I found Lisa Fonseca, who is a very talented woman, she creates cute paper piecing designs for her projects and she is amazing.  After seeing her work I remembered those days when I started and decided I should do some hand paper piecing again, and here is the result.

Merry Christmas Layout

Hi

Happy Friday!  Hope you are having a great day!  Today I'm sharing a layout I made using some family pictures we took the night before Christmas, after the girls leave some cookies and milk for Santa.  As I have mentioned before, you never know what is going to happen when our baby is part of the photo, she was decided to not smile for the camera, so those are the results, lol.  Anyway, I like the photos, they are cute and reflect our personalities and are perfect for these beautiful papers.

Love You Layout

Hi!

Happy Valentine's Day!  I'm back today with another layout to celebrate love.  This time is about the love between my husband and our daughters.  As you can see in the pictures they do what they want with him, I love those pictures.  While our biggest daughter have always love to be photograph and cooperates, our baby is different, she is not predictable when I'm trying to photograph her.  Sometimes she cooperates and look to the camera, but the majority of the time she do funny poses, close her eyes when you tell her to look, and start to dance and do funny things like in those photos where she was pulling her dad's hair and having fun while enjoying the moment.  For me those are the perfect moments to be capture capture, real life, those memories that you are going to remember and laugh and when you see the photo you are going to revive this instant of life.

Sweet Love Layout

Hi!

Tomorrow will be Valentine's Day, so today I'm sharing with you a layout I made to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary.  My husband love cakes, for that reason I ordered a cake to took some picture of us and our daughters.  It was something between us, no party and no other people, just a cake to enjoy and be thankful for all these years together and all the blessings we have. We used the timmer setting on a point and shoot camera to capture the photo of the four of us and our daughter took the photo of my husband and I.
