Date Night Mini

My first mini!  I took a $1.00 3.5x5.5 notebook from Walmart, stapled pages together for sturdiness and added a bunch of pretties from Maggie Holmes, Studio Calico, Crate Paper and some gold ink/watercolor to make it pretty.  I can't wait to fill it!

Now I am hooked and cannot wait to make another!

New Pages for TLP challenges and a FREE gift.

I had plans to be more active with my blogging but with school starting I have forgotten to come in here and post.  OOPS.  School is officially in full swing now so I hope to get back on schedule.  For today I have a bunch of pages made for the We Are Storytellers challenges.  Tomorrow I will be back with the August challenge pages and some random pages for designers I create for.

Those are the challenges for We Are Storytellers.  It was a ton of fun learning about storytelling on my layouts.  I don't journal very often but I think I may be including it a lot more.

Just visit my FB page to download this completely free.


Have a fabulous Friday and a lovely weekend.

Film, film, oh sweet film. (Film Mama blog circle)

I finally was able to get a few scans back from my vacations this summer.  I cannot explain to you just how much I love film...In truth, there are a lot of images here that are not perfect.  Maybe even all of them but to me they are priceless memories.  I can see everything in these, feel the air around me, smell the trees, the river, the campfire.  These are things that I will be less likely to forget because instead of just snapping away, I took my time.  Focused in on the moment and not just the photo.  That, to me, is more precious than gold.

These are just a few of the photos from some of the places we were this summer.

This is only half of our trips this summer.  I cannot wait to get the rest of the rolls developed so I can re-live the summer all over again.

Now that you have made it all the way through my post, please continue on to Tricia Burrough. I am sure she has something magical for you.
