This weekend, we celebrated my mother-in-laws 60th birthday. My hubby's brother and fiance came up from California and surprised her - we all had a great time! Sheri has been asking for some recent pictures of the kids, so I printed off these photos and gave them to her for her birthday. The photo of Madisyn and Hudson was taken at Father's Day at their home - I just love that photo of them together! And then the one of Jaxon I believe I've shared on here before. I am in love with these digital brushes of Ali's. I love the handwriting and I think I've bought most of them! :) I added them to the photos and some text...a simple little custom touch. She loved them!
I took a bunch of pictures on Saturday and that was fun! Got lots of good ones. I think going through the photos is so exciting - I love looking at the emotions, feelings and moments that get captured on film.
On another note, I loved seeing some more photos from CHA. There are some great ones here and here. I'm really excited about a lot of the new things coming out - loved the new Making Memories Paperie line, Autumn Leaves new stamps and Urban Junque line looks cool, and more! So fun to see everything coming out in the next few months.
I'm super excited...my good friend of 6 years is coming down in 2 weeks to hang out, scrap and play!! I can't wait! We are going to go and stay at my dad's place (THANK YOU DAD!!!) for the weekend and scrap, chat and eat!! :) :) We are both planning a project for us to do and I can't wait to see what she comes up with - I just love all that she does. She is a designer for Stampin' Up! and creates so many of those fabulous samples you see in the catalog (and the cover!). She's awesome! Can't wait to be with you Amy! It's been sooo long since we've hanged out! I'm planning some things to do tonight and can't wait to play for a whole weekend...without kids! :)
Thanks for your nice comments about the last post/layout/card! :) I always love to hear from you all!
Anyway - I've got a layout to share at Hero Arts on Wednesday, a Scrapbooks, etc. layout to share and hopefully some fun photos (gotta get them edited and up here). Hope you have a good one! :)
any instructions on how to use the brushes? i'm lost!
:(
