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.
Good Saturday to everyone...Many of you have suffered the onslaught of snow brought by the 2011 blizzards throughout the country. Well, her...

My Christmas tree is from Paper Doll Dress Up...I cut it in two sizes to add some pop...and of course pop dotted it together...some bling and ribbon to trim it.....and the toys under to finish it off of stickers from Jolee. I'm loving the sparkly branches I found at WM in the Christmas aisle.
Santa is a vintage image from the Graphics Fairy....I sewed it to three layers of green napkin to give it a quilted look....I love the delicate cut of Hope from my Home Decor......and how funny is Mcauley in his little hat....again from Jolee as are all the sticker embellies on this page.....
Ornaments cut from A Child's Year are embossed....painted with silver acrylic and trimmed with some MS cuts and a cricut heart from Plantin.....
Lovely red ribbon sewn onto black lace an lots of bling to boot......Hope you enjoyed these layouts.....Practical Scrappers, SOUS, and the Graphics Fairy can all be linked from my blog by buttons or blog links on my blog list....please visit each and see what fun is in store for you....come play along or download a free image.....thanx for stopping by!!!!
Sandy, you really amaze me with your beautifully scrumptious creations! I get so inspired to do a lay-out or two myself when I come upon the graphic details that you do. You are simply astounding; such a artistic and lovely lady! Yours is such a masterpiece, it should be framed rather than inserted into a lovely book. :) I do so enjoy looking at your work. I'm going to work on some lay-outs (recycle them since I never finished the book) for our family's annual picnic - my cousin gave me the book back - both she and my aunt loved the albums YOU inspired me to do after you posted yours that time...I LOVE your work - it's just so magical!! ;P
Sandy, another fabulous DUO!! Love them both but am starting to get into the Christmas spirit so I'm really into that one at the moment. The SOUS layout is just perfect with the clock and baby buggy! You clever girl you! So glad I can always come to your blog and see beautiful work!
Sandy, your talent is amazing. Love all the details. Makes me want to go work on a layout right now, but need to focus on putting up my Christmas decorations. Love the new sketch at SOUS, already have a picture, just need to go through my paper.
This is just stunning! I love your colors and all the little details you added to the page. The black lace is fabulous. Love the embossing and blings. You are so very inspirational to me! Thanks for all the lovely comments you leave on my blog! You're such a great friend! Blessings Kim xXx
Love both of the layouts but especially the sweet layout of your son! Love all the detail. Your story brought a tear to my eye. I can relate to miracles...my grandson was born at 32 weeks weighing 3 pounds then dropped to 2.6. He was in NICU for little over a month. He is now 3 years old and still a little guy weighing 27 pounds but being a preemie hasn't hurt him at all. I believe with all my heart, there was an angel looking over him too.
How beautiful!!! I love all the embellishments that you used and the colors are so bright and cheerful! Thanks so much for participating today in "Brag Monday"!
You did an awesome job with these layouts, Sandy!! Absoulutely precious and love your teardrop flowers. You have inspired me to add more dimension to my projects...always a joy to see your fabulous work! :)
Wow Sandy... You've been busy. Your layouts are Gorgeous!! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
