I scraplifted this idea out of a magazine but tweeked for me.  the solid pink areas are for pictures.  if you are interested i can give you the deminisions of all pieces.  i just love how it turned out. i think my gina beana bday pics will be going on here.

This was a layout inspired by the sun burst. I saw it on line as a card and decided it would be so cute on a layout.  i used my cricut and creative memories cutting system. circles and triangles is all.  then just laid down the pics and here you have it.  a day at the lake just hanging with oma and opa

This is a 2page layout of my mermaid

who just loves the water!  Close to my heart paper.  the water wave is just some i had and cut up it may be bo bunny. i am not sure.  her skirt had a little ruffle on it so i decided to use it in my design.

This is the faux leather cards i made using Beate Johns from splitcoast stampers technique.  I wanted to make masculine cards and this technique is great for that.
