The biggest blessing in my life is the gift of my four wonderful boyssss. I was a stay at home mom up until a few years ago and now I am happily employed in the education field and a single mom raising the last of my four, he is a dream. I love working with children, photography and of course scrapbooking. Scrapping has become my therapy and I am so thankful that GOD has given me this gift.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if everyday we kept the meaning of Christmas in our hearts? This is a picture of my two older boys many a Christmas ago....and it makes me feel like Christmas when I look at it...so full of love for them. This week at SOUSwe used a sketch by Beggahuna...I love her work and I hope you will check out her blog.....click on her name and it will take you there...she is amazing~I used a Christmas paper I had in my stash for the background paper....added a dark green behind and layered paper lace between...I added some poinsettia buttons to each corner.
I made a smaller version of the ACY flower from my PS post and some more of the butterflies in a bronze metallic....I may do a tutorial on these if anyone is interested.
I downloaded the sheet music from Grapicsfairy...her link is on my left column and she has amazing vintage clip art and images free for the taking...check her out too!
My holly is cut from Stretch Your imagination and pop dotted...I added lots of chipboard embellies and used some adhesive tags to hand write my title.
Hop on over toSOUSto see what the other DT members came up with....and come play along!!!
