Cherry O Sugar Pie

Today I am sharing a quick Sketch-n-Scrap page, I was so happy the whole time I made it and I knew it was going to just all come together.

These are just a few photos of my girls. They are just hanging out being extra adorable. I grabbed some Cherry-O paper. I think this paper always works with girl pages.

I have actually had this level 1 kit for a while but it was white and cherry's in every other space. I decided to fill in the cherry's and I love the way it turned out. I might take a second look at some other level ones I have and use them up too. I love getting new stuff but I also try to use up my old stuff too. I am doing much better. I no longer save it for the perfect layout. If i love it I use it now cause I can buy more or use the next new must have item.

I added some bling and a date. I need to work on my journalling but at least I have the date on here. Better than nothing.

Popped up the cherry's and added more bling

Love the way the title came out. 

Here is the sketch! Isn't it super cute? I hope you will join us and play along...and use up either something brand new or something you have been holding on to forever.

I just thoght this months stamp of the month was just so adorable!! As I thought about what I wanted to do and what paper I wanted to use I was tossing ideas back and forth to a friend. I was also telling her how I wanted to use Zipadee in a way other than an amusment park and she said...well it matches your house. I was like oh you are brilliant I have been wanting to do a where I've been page. So without furthur ado here you go...where I have been and where I am

we bought our first home as a family last year and we could not be happier!

Cocktail alpha...love it. The H and M are popped up

Some close ups of the excitement I felt...sorry for the blurry photo

now the crazy truth...where we were. Mark moved into my house and we lived there 8 months then we figured we should move to his cause well he owned it. Can we say tiny...yikes we stayed here for 2 years it was suppose to be for 6 months. Thank God I had a baby because that made it way way to small for our family of now 5. Then we moved into a big beautiful old home but alas it was money pit so we bailed and decided not to buy. Onto the last house..our "summer home" we were going to buy this but the sale fell through thank God because it was way way to small and we would have been settling and then one day we were looking at another house that was not going to work and we went to look at ours simply cause we had extra time. It was our of our price range BUT we fell in LOVE and had to have it. We crunched numbers and decided we could definatly aford that beauty as it had everything we wanted plus things we didn't think we would get....yippeeee we are home! We are in love...we are happy.

Spotlight on Veranda...soft delicate elegant memories

I would like to welcome you to the spotlight blog hop. If you came from Lori's blog then you are in the right place. If you just happened to come along my blog today please feel free to hop on over to the others to see what current paper pack they featured this month. Each month we try to use what we have and showcase all the awesome things that can be done. I decided to use a Veranda Level 1 kit. I looked though my photos and saw my girls...aww I have had these photos for over 10 years. I thought it was about time I put these lovely photos in a book. I have always just loved them and have a big giant one that hangs on my wall.

Up above you see some stitching, actually it is faux stitching done with Something Special I love this little set because it is so versital. I also used the My Stickease that comes in the kit. Here is the page

I also used the little butterflies from Just Blooms

Next I want to move on to a memo board that was cased from Doresa Lambrecht she did such an amazing job with it I didn't change a thing.

Next I did some cards

Wow can you beleive that this is all still from a level one kit???

The first card again uses the Spring Just Blooms and the Stamp of the Month this month Flower Pot and Authentic I also watercolored on this card.

Next is a simple card with some layers of stamps from Authentic

Scince I wanted this to look layered I stitched using the little stamp from above again and then I sponged around each of the parts of the level one base to make it look like separate peices. I also added a little butterfly for some demension.

Last but not least is a card with a flower that was inspired by my daughters purse. I took 6 punched circles and glued them down at the base. I then curled them up and put a big brad in the center to bring it all together. I thought it was a pretty fun flower and I hope you like it too.

There is no stamping on this card.

Here is the whole kit all together

Now hop on over to Carols blog and see what she came up with.
