The Glamorous Side of Scrapping "Anything But a Card" Blog Hop

Greetings all and welcome to the The Glamorous Side of Scrapping "Anything but a Card" Blog Hop!  We have very talented ladies in this hop, so you don't want to miss a thing! If you came from Jearise's blog then you are on the right track. If you came to my blog straightaway then you may want to start at the beginning with Ashley. Here is the total lineup just in case you get lost:

Nicole- http://crashingcreatively.blogspot.com/ <-- YOU ARE HERE


For my project, I decided to peruse some of my previous scrapbooks (since I am a true scrapper at heart) and look for something that stuck out as particularly special.  Lo and behold, I found a page I did when I had ALL four of my kids together.  Now that both my adopted-daughter, D, and my oldest son, J, have moved on, it's just the two "little" guys with us now.  

I made this page for Mother's Day in 2008.  I cut the word "LOVE" using the OPPOSITES ATTRACT cart for Cricut.  I then glued microbeads to the word to make it "pop." I also used MINI-MONOGRAMS to cut the scalloped circle. Since I love, love, love flowers, I added those too.  I never get to do a very girly page, so this was as fru-fru as it got.  The puffy letter stickers, swirls, quotes and metal brads and embellishments were all from Michael's and A.C. Moore, and the flowers were purchased in bulk on EBAY.  I am not sure who the paper is from.  





I hope you like my project.  Nothing gives me greater joy than being a mother.   Thanks for visiting!  Be sure to check out ALL of the talented ladies and projects that this hop has to offer!

  24. Great layout and the flowers just finish it! I know exactly what you mean about having all the kids together. We have two bio kids that are 25 and 23 and then two adopted that are 10 and 9 and the oldest are now married and flown the coop. It's so hard to get them all together! Thank you for sharing.
