Momma's Boy

It's Friday again...wooowhooo! I must start this post with yet another apology. I was so excited last week to start visiting all my bloggy buds and had a great start...then I started feeling ill and ended up in bed with what I thought was a stomach bug....but after several days of getting worse I finally went to the ER to learn that I had appendicitis....so I am now recovering and still lagging behind with all the fun in blog land.....I must ask again for forgiveness and send out huge hugs to all of you who have been such great sources of encouragement. I really do like my life to be ho-hum....and hope to get back to that soon. It just seems to have been one thing after another lately. So as I recover I promise to get out there and pay you some much overdue visits!!

This week I am combining the SOUS challenge with a DT submission for Generations Crafting. We had no sketch this week @ SOUS....but a fun embossing challenge. These wonderful Lullaby LaneWebsters Pages just require so little work...they are so beautiful all alone, so there really isn't a whole lot to this page.

The photo is of my precious son with the lovely bouquet of roses he gave me for Mother's Day this year. The title font is from Lyrical Letters. One of the embossed embellishments on my layout is this hinge I made in DS with the hinge from Storybook with the Fleur De Lis from Home Decor. I embossed with my cuttlebug and then added some Perfect Pearls by Ranger to enhance. I also used my crop a dile to add the grommets.

I've added 3 of the way fun to make Tim Holtz roses that are so ever popular right now. I love to add some xtra petals and have a tutorial coming up showing this technique. I have added a couple of Say It With Crystals Prima Bling to each side of my flowers.

I've used my A Child's Year cart to make the leaves to accent my roses. The buckle was a mark down find @ M's in the sewing section. I have cut 1/2 inch strips of card stock to resemble a belt and embossed with a border folder from cuttlebug. I used my black pen to add some 'stitching' and once again some of the perfect pearls in silver. Behind the photo I've also added two distressed pieces of card stock embossed with the handwriting folder and then accented with the green patina for Perfect Pearls.

Hope you enjoyed my take on the embossing challenge.....Please check out the other projects from the DT @ SOUS.
