An ABC Primer Collection by Graphic 45

My twin Grandson's are my subjects for most of my pictures.  They are so darn cute and I love them to pieces.   I can not wait until their little sister is born, the trio will make for awesome pictures to come.

I found an old 4 window pane and it is the subject of my crafty-ness today. (like I am a pro...lmbo).   We had so much fun on this day.  We were out by the fire pit roasting marshmallow and the boys were busy pulling the bark off of the fire wood and tossing them into the fire.   Sparks flew and we hard lots of of "ohhh'ss and "wow".    We now have bark-less fire wood..lol

In this project I play with Graphic 45's An ABC Primer Collection paper line.  I love the colors and the textures this line had to offer.  Of course, I am and HUGE fan of Graphic 45.  They have such awesome stuff!!!!

I mounted the "back" paper on the back side of the glass, then I mounted the actual pictures and embellishments on the front side of the glass.  It really give the project a 3D kind of appearance.   I love to work with these old windows. They are so really cool!!

Please let me know if you like this, I would love to hear form you.
Have a grand day!!!

My Minds Eye, Stella and Rose

My son and his wife are having their 3rd child this coming December.   They have already blessed us with Twin Grandon's and now we will have our Grand Daughter... Oh My!!!... clothes, dolls, secrets and pictures...I am getting ready for the change in thought process and looking at pinks, soft pastels, bling and flowers and and and....must practice.

So, here I go, playing with papers, colors, designs that are softer and more girly....lol.  Don't worry Logan and Ethan, Grandma will still be taking lots of pictures of you two.   Your not going to get out of be my best subjects.. hehehe.

The paper is My Minds Eye, Stella & Rose.  I used Tim Holtz Distressed Ink to distress the edges.  The color I used was Old Paper.  Then I tossed in some dollies and flowers and rhinestones.    I will love the practice...lol

Boo Box

 I just love it when the Twins are over for a visit.  I get to take pictures of them, even if they don't want me too...lol.   A recent visit had them both playing games and making faces.  I took one of those pictures and copied it in black and white and used it on a Holloween project.   Take a look below and see how it turned out..

 

I used Echo Parks A Apothecary Emporium Holloween paper line.  Most of the ribbon is randome ribbon that I have in my 'supply'.  I used Graphic 45 bling, Tim Holtz Distressed ink.   

I hope you enjoyed this and thanks for stopping by.

I am so excited for the months that are coming up.   Full of Holidays, Cheers and Family.  The most exciting is that my Son and his wife are going to bless me with anohter Grandchild.    A Girl this time,  Autumn Grace.

Melanie, my daughter-in-law, sent me a copy of her ultrasound.  Her profile is so much like her brothers, we are headed for trouble.

This layout is using Echo Park's  A Apothecary Emporium paper line.  So much fun to play with.  The colors are bold and the patterns are awesome.  I used Tim Holtz Distressed Ink to color the edges.  SURPRISE- The color I used is from Tim's new and Limited Seasonal Series. 3 dye ink pads.  The colors are Seedless Preserves, Gathered Twigs and Ripe Persimmon.   We have a very limited supply in the store.  When they are sold, they are all gone.  When your done with the blog hop, swing by the store and get yours  while they last.
