Simple LO's

I am a simple person.  And that carries over to my scrapbook.  And cards.  

LO of my daughter on the first day of 7th grade, August 2006.









LO of stepson.  Pictures taken Winter thru Summer of 2006.  He would not let me take a picture for the first day of school for him, so I just put a few together for his LO.





(yes, he needed a haircut!!)

LO of my dear, sweet hubby.  The quote is from Winnie The Pooh.  I played around with the picture, and got 3 very different effects.  I cannot remember what program I used, it was a free one from the internet.  And it was a few years ago.

If you live to be 100, 
I want to live to be 100 
              minus one day.  
So that I never have to live a 
             day without you.


(I love this man!)


All cardstock is Bazzill.  Patteren paper and solid colors are from various packs of paper I had at the time. Letters on Jenn and Kyle's pages are stickers. I colored J and H with a marker.  Quote on Frank's page is computer printed on white cardstock.

Simple and Versatile

I made this card for our card swap.  I actually ordered the square punch AFTER I cut all these squares out.....I made 8 cards.....32 squares were cut out.....by hand......hence the reason for buying a punch.....much easier!!!




I also sent this one out as a Birthday card to my cousin's daughter who celebrated her 17th birthday.  I thought she needed a "grownup type" of card.  After all, she is not one of our babies anymore.  She has blossomed into a beautiful young lady.

I will probably use this layout alot.  It's simple and versatile.  

That's my kind of card ~ simply versatile.

cardstock: SU! Kraft, Naturals Ivory
ink: SU! Chocolate Chip
stamp: SU! Sweet Stems
Stampin' Pastels
