Top 10 for 2009

I have neglected my blog horribly during December, and to sort of make up for it, here are my favorite 10 layouts of all those I created in 2009.
They are in no particular order, just newest to oldest in the order they were created. I like others, but picked 10, if you don't count the couple of 2-pagers I slipped in. I couldn't help it, sorry.
Anyway, enjoy, and I will really try to be more faithful about posting in 2010.

Where did this year go?????

This is a bit different than the others I chose. Maybe less cluttered, but I loved that tree.

I know this is 2, but I couldn't help it. I had to squeeze in one more.

Purse Album




Here is a little purse album that I made this week. I used one of the My Minds Eye lines, which I live. I started out with 2 envelopes and this is the end result. Besides the MME papers and accessories, I used some May Arts ribbon, We R Memory Keepers gromets, a vintage button, pop dots, Creative Workshops templates, a piece of velcro, and an element from a digital kit that I got over at sweetshoppedesigns. I believe the buckle rings are Lil Davis.

Apples - Pink Paislee


I have more Halloween layouts to do, but wanted to scrap this photo because this layout just popped into my head, and I didn't want to forget it. I just thought it would look great beneath this wonderful Pink Paislee blossom tree.
I stickled the center of all the blossoms too, and although you probably can't see it here, it gave it a wonderful glitter look.
Products used:
Patterned Paper: Pink Paislee, Basic Grey, Sassafras Lass
The apple word tag is from a free kit at A Million Memories.

Little Chief


This is Trevor, my oldest grandchild, and only boy. He was doing his best to avoid looking at the camera. He is such a cutie. His costume was pretty neat, and he had a cool headress to go with it.

Pattern Paper: Basic Grey, Making Memories, Pink Paislee
Chipboard: Basic Grey
Die cuts: My Minds Eye
Ribbon: May Arts

Duckie


Another Halloween layout. This is Morgan, another grandaughter. She was more interested in eating her sucker than getting her picture taken. In fact she was more interested in gathering all the suckers. She loves suckers and couldn't care less about the chocolate. Silly duckie.
Products used:
Pattern paper: My Minds Eye

Almost Here


My daughter and son-in-law at their first baby shower. This is their first child, and they were so excited. Well, actually, she is now 10 months old, and walking, and they are still excited. They are the best parents.
I absolutely love earthy colors, and these Kaiser Craft papers are just wonderful. I love several of their lines

Easter 2004


These are pages I made using mostly Prima products. I just love, love, love their papers, flowers and bling. Don't you?
This my grandaughter way back in 2004 at Easter time. She went to an Easter egg hunt and this very cool, and huge, bunny was there to visit with the kiddos. She loved it. Afterwards she spent some time blowing bubbles and flying kites. Spring is such a wonderful time of the year.
