4th of July Fireworks!

I just love the 4th of July!  Fun times with fireworks, sitting outside for a picnic or BBQ, having fun with family....things that are just great!  We love shooting off fireworks!  This past year we were in a bad drought, so there was a fire ban.  We just stuck with smoke bombs and sparklers mainly.  This was the layout I decided to use to display the fun we had!

Red background paper is Tammi Potter Mosaics.  Patterned Paper is Scenic Route.  Embellishment is  Queen and Co.  Title is Stand and Salute Cart.

I know I used the Tammi Potter paper in the last post, but her papers really are cool.  I love getting this tiled look!  I use it mainly for 4th of July, but have also used it for flowers at the Botanical Gardens and Mountain Scenes in Colorado.  There is a lot you can do with these pages if you have the patience!  Once you get going though, they are a snap to get done and look amazing when they are finished!


Thanks for looking and I hope you have a safe and fun 4th!

The 4th is coming up!

Hello!!!!  I hope you are having a great week!  It will be 4th of July before we know it, so I thought I would post a layout from last year's 4th of July fun!  We usually go to my hubby's parents for a party, and this past year was no exception!  We spent some time on an ATV first!

Paper used:  Scenic Route for pattern paper and white cardstock.  Blue paper and wavy stars and USA and 2001 were from Tami Potter Mosaic Moments.  Stickers were from Hobby Lobby.  Title:  Cupcake Cartridge.

The Mosaic Moments are so fun to and easy to use!  Check out their website tamipotter.com.  I love the block look and the paper has guides on it to show you where to tape the pics down, plus there is a bookmark that I used to tell me what dimensions the photos had to be to fit exactly.

Hope you enjoyed this layout and I hope it gave you some ideas to use for your 4th of July pics!  See ya next week!!!!

Finally Finished!!!!

Going over to crop at my friend's house on Monday did the trick!!!! I finished 7 layouts and finished all the layouts for 2010! All I need to do now is make my title pages for the 2 books and I am done!!! Phew! I thought I was gonna have to take some 2010 to the retreat! But nope! I will only be working on 2011!!! I included 3 of the layouts I did on Monday!

This one is of my precious Jesse James!!!! He is my cousin's baby and I just love him!!! I used blue DCWV cardstock for the background and green DCWV for the title and jacks. I also glittered the jacks to make them pop! I used Scenic Route for the pattern paper and a tag from fancypantsdesigns. The carts I used was Zoo animals for the title and I'm not sure about the jacks!!!

This layout is of my niece who loves to entertain us!!! She is a hoot! I used black DCWV cardstock for the background and music title and notes and the glitter paper is DCWV too! The pattern paper didn't have a name on them, but I think I got them at JoAnn's. The sentence strip is Cosmo Cricket. The carts I used were Alphalicious for the glitter title and Hannah Montanna for the music title and music notes. Love the star music notes!!!!

This last layout was just of Christmas Day at my husband's Grandma's house. I used dark blue DCWV cardstock for the background and dark green DCWV cardstock for the title. Pattern paper is Scenic Route and I added some ruby red rhinestones (not sure about company). The journal tag is fancypantsdesign. I used the Creative Memories big circle cut to make the big circle! I love adding big circles to my pages and you will probably see more! The cart I used was Lyrical Letters.

Well, that is the end of 2010!!! I am so excited! The books are super thick (as always!) and I can't wait to show off them off! I am planning to work on the title pages this week and then go back to making some cards. I will also be power layout-ing 2011. I will post pics and tell you more about that another time!!! Thanks for looking!
