Truly, I do. When it comes to photos of my mom, grandmother, or mother-in-law I always think of a harder time of life, but a better time. If I say vintage I might get myself in deep trouble. LOL But when I think of them I think of their talent and gift of handmade quilts and more. As part of Little Honey's summer book I wanted to include her visit see her grandparents, but with that handmade look.
I saw a layout by Kate Moreira Vickers that reminded me of some quilts my family has made. I took my inspiration from her and created this layout for LH's summer book.
Ingredients: paper I believe is Prima; crochet flowers Prima; gems Bo Bunny; Trinket Pin Maya Road; "Love" metal piece Making Memories; center large flower Anna Griffin; "my" American Crafts Thickers; small title Tim Holtz letters, Tim Holtz ticket; Rangers Picket Fence Paint Dabber; "3" Glitz Design
Note to Manufactures: I would love a hard metal or plastic template with different size quilting shapes. I use to think having a punch would be good, but they are just too small. Just a free thought!
I have a few more pages to share with LH's summer book, but I'm taking a scrapbook break to make a banner for my soon-to-be granddaughter's new room. LH will be a BIG sister in just about a month or so. You know I'll share it was soon as I finish.
Have a Crafty Day!
Gratitude List
1. sneaky children that keep me on my toes
2. loving grandchildren who warm my heart
3. a love from God that has kept me alive and seeking for Him
4. strength to watch my LH grow
5. seeing Little Sprout grow so fast in the last three weeks
