Christmas glitter ornament!

This is a christmas card in June. I put sizoweb over the ornament and rubbed Silk Microfine Glitter in blue from Elizabeth Crafts Design over it before I removed it. On the picture you can hardly see the white lines which are left on the ornament. But in real it look pretty good. The patterned paper is from the Lawn Fawn paper pack "Let's Bokeh in the snow".

Summer fun in our garden!

Our garden is blooming right now and we can't wait to eat the first strawberries and rasperries!

The story of her life!

My grandmother turned 80 this April and her kids and grandkids thought about a personal present for her. So we made her a photo album where we used old pictures of her and how she met my grand father, how she got her 3 kids, and so on and wrote little stories to all of them.

I created the cover with using Paisleys Wise Dies from Paper Smooches and die cut some words like "memories, mother, wife, love, grand mother, 80 years, kids, grand kids and wonderful. On the picture you see my grandmother holding my mother.

She loved the present with the story of her life!
