I'm Back!!!

I decided to tackle this layout after all was quiet in my house tonight. I am thrilled with how it turned out. I've been playing with the layout of this one for days! I just didn't think it was perfect until tonight. I love these pictures of my sweet kids. I edited them on Snapfish and added the textured border. I distressed the edges of the photos with Hydrangea ink.

I used Liquid Glass to adhere Watermelon paper to the clear buttons. It gives a great, shiny look to them! The flowers are stamped with the flourishes from the Doodle Alphabet stamp set.

On a personal note, my husband is using his leg some this week. It is great to have him helping out more around the house. I especially enjoy the fact that he can take his own plate to the table and to the sink. :-) Sounds silly, I know!

Thanks to all the A/C sympathy. All is well now. Thank goodness!

It feels good to finally get some mojo back. I was getting worried! I have all this new stuff to play with, so I need to feel creative.

All products are CTMH!
