Once Upon a Time ***Practical Scrappers***

Lots of pages.
This is the last page but it's my favorite and although there are flowers in almost ever page, I made this one with the Practical Scrappers challenge in mind.

These are pictures from Natalie's 5th Birthday Party. The misting was done by both my daughter's Monica 13 and Natalie 5, the spray the colors they wanted made a mess and had a lot of fun in the process. I did do the screens. This was a lot of fun.

Sisters **Scrap That Poetry and Practical Scrappers***

I totally Love this weeks Poem at Scrap that Poetry. I knew the second I read the poem, I wanted to scrap this picture, from Christmas 2008, I knew the right time would come for me to scrap it. This also works for this weeks challenge at Practical Scrapper
The Journaling reads:
We are the knot that ties our families together. We may not always see eye to eye, but we always stand side by side. You are my best friend and confidante. We love our girl time. I only hope that Monica and Natalie would share the same knot.






Here is the poem.
Freedom and Love by Thomas Campbell

How delicious is the winning
Of a kiss at love's beginning,
When two mutual hearts are sighing
For the knot there's no untying!
Yet remember, 'Midst our wooing,
Love has bliss, but Love has ruing;
Other smiles may make you fickle,
Tears for other charms may trickle.
Love he comes, and Love he tarries,
Just as fate or fancy carries;
Longest stays, when sorest chidden;
Laughs and flies, when press'd and bidden.
Bind the sea to slumber stilly,
Bind its odour to the lily,
Bind the aspen ne'er to quiver,
Then bind Love to last for ever.
Love's a fire that needs renewal
Of fresh beauty for its fuel:
Love's wing moults when caged and captured,
Only free, he soars enraptured.
Can you keep the bee from ranging
Or the ringdove's neck from changing?
No! nor fetter'd Love from dying
In the knot there's no untying.

Two I did today.

I made time to scrap today.

Scrap That Poetry and Sunday Crop

This first one is for this weeks challenge at Scrap That Poetry The poem is
Ah, Yes! Love by Clarence B. Campbell- challenge #9

This was for Toni's challenge, I love how this turned out.



I used this sketch from My Little Sketch book


Here is the Poem, I just loved it.
Ah, Yes! Love
Ah, Yes! Love
by Clarence B. Campbell

Ah, yes! Love
Is peaches and honey, and figs, and cream,
And wild grapes dripping beside the stream,
Humming birds,
And a young man's dream!
Ah, yes! Love
Is bubbles and beauty and lantern light,
Music and madness and dizzy height,
Tender words,
And a star-filled night!

Ah, yes! Love
Is oceans and azure, and infinite skies,
Rubies and ivory, and fathomless eyes,
Where the bluebird springs
And sings as he flies!
Ah, yes! Love
Is whispers, and flickers, and candleshine,
Glances and trances, and deep, red wine,
And the moon-dust that clings
To the gossamer vine!

Ah, yes! Love
Is kisses, caresses, and sweet desire,
Prickles and shivers, and flashing fire,
And melodies
From a throbbing lyre!
Ah, yes! Love
Is silver, and roses, and gay champagne,
And the soft reprise of the April rain,
And memories
That will long remain!

This was for Diane's Card Challenge, I'm not a great card maker, but I do try,.

All Day Crop At Scrappin Mojo

Sam's challenge was to describe a name or a phrase that describes our family. Well that was easy peasy japanease. "LOUD" we are all loud, we have strong vocals, we are opinionated and we are just plain laud, specially so when the girls are in the house. But we do love each other a lot.


here is the sketch I used from My Little Sketch Book



Niki had yet another Tutorial on how to make this flower, I love how it turned out, I use regular sewing pins and added some beads from Monica's stash.



Diane's challenge was to take an old magnet from the fridge and re-design it.
I now have to find an updated photo of us with Natalie in it she made me take this one out.



Niki had a tutorial on how to make these, I have been wanting to make them for such a long time so glad she did to Tut.
