Citrus Twist March pages.

Good morning!
It has been a while since I posted here.  Unfortunately our household got with with a couple of lovely illnesses.  I think we are finally getting back on track.

I did manage to make 3 pages this month so far though.


This first page was for the 3/5 Three to Inspire challenge on the Citrus Twist blog.

These next two were just for fun.

How pretty is this paper?  It is my favorite.

FREE PL 3x4 vertical card Printable.

Hello all!

This week I decided I needed some cards for my January PL spreads but didn't have time to go out and find what I was looking for.  I made my own instead.  Now you guys get to have them.  They are set on an 8 1/2 X 11 page with cut guides around them to make it easier to cut on your own.  You could also set them to be a print and cut with your silhouette if you wanted.

Anyway, here you go.

If you use them, I would love to see your pages.  Comment here with a link so I can leave you some love.

December Blog Hop | Gossamer Blue

Good morning and welcome to my part of the Gossamer Blue blog hop.  This is always my favorite hop to follow.  So much inspiration!

Here is the page I created for you.

December Main Kit | Gossamer Blue

My littlest child and I are very close.  She is 5 years old, 45 lbs and still wants me to carry her.  She loves to cuddle me and is always close to me.  My husband and FIL joke that she is my oxygen.  She really is though.  I cannot imagine my life without her there.  When she starts to need me less will be a very sad day.

Thank you for stopping by to see my page.  Enjoy the rest of the hop!

Decorating The Mantle | Pink Paislee

This is a personal blog. All editorial content and projects are intellectual property of lillylanephoto.blogspot.com. I do receive financial compensation and products from American Crafts to develop certain blog posts, but all of the ideas and opinions are my own.

I am not one to usually do a Christmas Countdown but for today we will pretend that I do.  haha  There are only 33 days till Christmas!  

When I saw the marquee love tree in the box with my Yuletide collection I knew I was going to have to make something for my mantle with it.  I wanted to keep it kind of simple so it wouldn't take away from the tree when we put it up.  (I am a minimal decorator as well as a scrapper)

products used: Marquee Love Tree | Heidi Swapp  Yuletide Collection | Pink Paislee  Mini Trees + Deer | Target

I am by no means ready to start with all the Christmas at my house but I am so happy for this little bright spot in my living room.  The day after thanksgiving though...all bets are off and the tree is going up.

How do you decorate?  Are you all out Christmas or just a little like me?
