TIM HOLTZ May 2015 Tag

TIM'S May TAG

I can't believe I am able to make this post today.

My oldest son Will was in the hospital for over

3 weeks in this month...

(this is another story for another day).

I can't tell you how good it feels to be HOME!

So whenever I can, I sneak down to my happy place...

My special place where I lose ALL TRACK OF TIME!

AND PROBLEMS....

I feel so BLESSED to be able to create..I know I

have told you how happy it makes me...

So on to the topic of my post:

TIM's May Tag

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE creating vintage projects.

I have tons of family history projects just waiting for

me to work on!  This is my second love after working

on my own immediate family projects.

There were quite a few products missing from

my stash in order to create this tag. I didn't worry 

about it because I knew I wanted this project to have

special meaning for me!  I didn't want it to be a

"technique" tag.

I had this photo of my mom that has always been a favorite of

mine.  She had it made for my dad early in their relationship.

I already had it in my computer..so I just reduced the size and

printed it out for this project.  So now that I had my photo

ready, I just had to gather my embellies.

The only product that I used that was the same as Tim was 

the train and dance ticket, The TYPO Stencil and the base tag.  Everything else

is different.

You can check out the products Tim used on his tag and

I think my mom does "SPARKLE" in her photo...

She definitely looks  "HAPPY" here...

I don't think I will ever get tired of looking

at this tag..and I think she is going to love it....

But I am not going to give it to her...

 for now it is going on my board for 

my 2015 TIM HOLTZ Tags....

Thanks for visiting my Blog!

Mother's Day Layout

BUTTERFLY KISSES

I knew Mother's Day was just around the corner and I knew I wanted

to make a couple of projects for my mom.  I ran across a couple of 

pictures of my mom blowing some kisses at me and I knew these 

would be perfect for a  layout to make for her!  

I had a friend share this layout of butterflies with me and

we planned on making it.... however...this layout ended

up inspiring me to make the layout of my mom.

Here is the inspirational layout:

Isn't this layout adorable?????

I still need to purchase the stand that I am going to set 

the layout on.  I am not going to put in in a book.

I made sure to double up on the chipboard to

support the paper so it would be sure to stand

upright on a photo stand.

I sure hope my mom loves this layout.  She always wants

to hug and give you kisses.  I think the pictures show her

fun and loving personality.

It is a very natural picture of her, we took it while having our

morning coffee, so even though she doesn't have

any makeup on I treasure the "LOVE" I see in her.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed your visit to my blog. 

 I love sharing 

EVERYTHING about scrapbooking.
