Hi there! Sooo happy it is Friday ~ I'm looking forward to the weekend ~ how about you? I have a few projects to share today. I scrapped a layout using adorable photos of Meredith from quite a few years ago. While I was enjoying some retail therapy at my LSS, I came across some gorgeous Authentique patterned paper which I used to create both the layout and card shown in this post.
For sketch inspiration, I played along with the current

Mona, I don't know what I like more - the scrapbook page or the card. In the back of my mind I'm thinking, "is there anything Mona can't do?????" They are both just lovely. Meredith is a real cutie in her "Miss Thing" pose - at least that is what we call it here! Why can't they stay little forever? Sorry - I'm just trying to get through the "teenager" years and missing the old days....
Extraordinary! Mona your layout and card are par excellence! The colors and the flowers both crochet and not are so pretty. The DP just want me to go and find some for my coffers. The JR gorgeousness too! Sigh. Very inspiring indeed! :-)
Wow Mona: BEAUTIFUL cards!!
Hugs Ageeth xx
Hi Mona! This is so so beautiful. I love the colours and your photos. Just fantastic yet again! Thank you for playing along with us. I always look forward to your creations.
P.S. just wanted to let you know that the link that OUAS doesnt link direct back here. When I click on your entry it just takes me to the OUAS blog rather than your blog. Just letting you know :o)
Oh good grief this laptop has such touchy buttons....deleted my comment LOL! Mona these are both wonderful! I'm sure your daughter will cherish this and look back one day with a grin at her sassy little pose! And what a sweet friend you are to make Stella this lovely card! Have a good weekend :)
