HOW did I miss this one?!? (Oh yeah... DD was born I July, I was a new momma again! Lol) This is so cute and what a sweet and fun story! LOVE that you scrapped them with their new toy and in this way. So creative on the title and the bg especially!!! Totally jacking that idea... Fun fun page! I love your work!
Such a great idea to use the gift tags as a backing. You are so super creative! Like all the peppermint stripe patterns going on on this too. The snowflakes are really nice on this as well.
what a heartwarming story - it sounds like all of you are truly blessed. LOVE this CREATIVE, FESTIVE and totally FUN lo. the background with the tags is FABULOUS. love the title work and the scattered beautiful snowflakes. GREAT lift.
Wonderful page and such a clever title! I loved what you wrote and you are indeed blessed to have found such good friends. Bill and I do not have anyone here in Ocala that we are really close to as a couple (guess we aren't home long enough) and that is something I miss beyond words. Everywhere I've lived there has been a special couple that we because best friends with but it hasn't happened here in Ocala. You note made me really miss that. You are very lucky to have them!
The woman in this picture is my best friend. She and her husband have kids my age (whom I love like siblings), but I adore these two people the most. I met them while knocking on doors to build up my client base. They did become clients, but they also became so much more. Jen is my best scrapbuddy. We talk about scrapping probably 2-3 times a week. Best part is she has a 3 year old DGD and two new grandbabies... so we have a lot in common scrapwise. She is an amazing woman... two degrees and stayed home to raise 4 AMAZING children. Seriously, I have never met a more loving, friendly, educated, smart, & real family in my whole life. I feel blessed to have found and adopted them into my life. Her husband Tom is also one of my most favorite people. He has lived an interesting life and still managed to be the most shining example of a husband and father I have ever seen. Plus he and my DH get along really well and share all sorts of things in common. They have even taken on loving my DD. Because thats the kind of people they are...and I love that DD has these wonderful people in her life.
This little bug eye'd sprite is very signifigant because Tom bought it when he retired. He had never put himself at the top of the priority list in 40 years, until they day he bought this. And he LOVES it. Even though he got the car months sooner I asked them to pose in the car with Santa hats on because I still hadn't scrapped the occation of him getting it. It wasn't until I was making the LO that I thought of this awesome title...Stano is their last name.
This LO was inspired by Chillaxing by Tinadn. Check it out at:
I really liked the graphic diamond BG with the stamping over it, but when it came down to it I didn't have a diamond punch and didn't want to cut them out by hand...so I made a puzzel BG with the "To & From" tags and added the punched snowflakes over that. I think it still gives that ultra-layered look. Honestly this was a fun LO to make. I didn't think doing a Christmas in July LO would feel right, but it was actually really fun...like a little taste of the season....(which has already started to show its head at HL; can you believe it??!?)
