Good Grief, 1

There is a fantastic blog I stumbled across the other day, it’s called Good Grief.  The concept of the site is for scrapping our way through a loved one’s death.  The current challenge Song Lyrics

I made a layout with George Strait’s “Love Without End, Amen,” of the hubs and his father. 

 

And it was so interesting/cathartic I continued with a companion page of myself with my father-in-law.  I went sparse to continue the theme of the lyric’s lines.  “Love Who You Love” sung by Rascal Flatts.

August Pretty Scrappy Collab Kit – Drama Queen

The sequel to last month’s Drama King collab is Drama Queen, a beautiful kits with rich colors, adorable elements and my new favorite thing: Flair!  I of course did not scratch the surface of the fantastic goodies in this kit but here’s a peek at what I did.

My first layout is a baby me with what my mom still thinks is the best hairdo for a baby: The Gerber Baby Curl. (ewck!)

And next is by little one at his Dramariffic Best!

My apologies….

I wanted to apologize to everyone, I didn’t realize my photo album at the bottom was in fact just a means to sneak advertisements to you.  Ads I didn’t know would appear.  Awful sorry about that!  So the photo album is gone, I’ll have to find alternative, I’m sure there is one that doesn’t blast ads to you, there has to be.  Sorry again!

Pretty Scrappy this Month!

Had a lot of fun with this month’s kits from Pretty Scrappy

First there’s Bittersweet by Tricia Curtis Designs

 
Super rich and luxurious, perfect for a lady like Debbie Reynolds, she’s just the best, such a trooper through all life’s up and downs.

 
This layout is of the pond at my in-laws, hopefully some day this will be in my front yard (come on PowerBall!) I made a little bracket frame (all by myself!) to try and highlight the crane in the water.  (Dear Santa, I would love a new camera for Christmas…)

Next up we have He’s On the Go by Valarie Ostrom Designs

 
I posed my boy on the car creeper (10 years ago!) and this is the perfect kit for his sweetness!

 
One more from the back of a dump truck! he-he

And finally the one I’m most excited about because I just love Madame Tussaud’s so much! 
What Happens In Vegas by Laurie’s Scraps

 
I used a template by Brenda Miller from her Blueprints by Brenda August template challenge at Gotta Pixel.  Starring me with the luminaries of Vegas, Debbie Reynolds (of course) Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (mmm), and Ben Affleck (sigh).
And I had so much fun with it I had to make a companion starring my Dear Darling Hubs…. with a Playboy Bunny, Marilyn Monroe and Lucille Ball.
