Finnibair meets Donna Downey

I wish!! Seriously though, this layout is inspired by both - I just wish I had a portion of their talent!

Anyway, this is a pic of Kevin with the band Atreyu last Oct in San Antonio. We got to spend the day with the band - hanging out in the tour bus and at both sound check and the actual concert. I have never seen Kevin so dang happy!

So without further adieu (is that the right spelling of the word?), here is Kevin:



I might enter this in the Grunge Contest over at Swirlydoos. I haven't read the rules yet so it may not be applicable. Sure is grungy though, huh?

I can't believe it!

I actually got to scrap last night. Kevin has just been calling me so often that there was no sense even attempting to scrap. To be honest, he called me bunches last night too, but I still kept at it.

So here is the layout I did of Kevin at the Tea Gardens in San Antonio. I want to journal on the back about what a long road his recovery has been and I want to focus on how sad his eyes are. That was a happy day and still...his eyes reflect how sad his life really is.

Anyway, here it is:



I am really struggling not having all of my scrap stuff here in Texas. There are so many things I have at home that I would just love to use on some of these layouts!

And I really need to make a new header for my new background, huh?

I'm Getting There

Finally - #30. I am hoping I can get a couple more layouts in tomorrow as I got my new Swirlydoos kit today. Yipee!!

Anyway, here is a layout that I feel just needs a little bit more, but I am unsure of what. I love the Dusty Attic frame, but the whole thing feels a little 'off' to me. Maybe I'll come up with something, maybe I won't.



Any suggestions?

Here's Another

Really working on this goal...



I am so into orange lately - have no idea why. I also really love those butterflies that Lisa over at Swirlydoos turned me on to.

Catching Up

I am so far behind in my goal for this year. Truthfully, I am about 18 layouts behind - ack!! I am really determined to reach this goal so I am forcing myself to get into my scraproom. Here are my two latest:

I am so in love with the Road Show collection from Fancy Pants! This one is Moe and I at the Riverwalk last October. It was a wonderful, much needed, day out!



On that day, we also went to Mission San Jose. Here are a couple of the photos from that visit.



Man, that place was just beautiful and there was a young, Mexican girl there that was getting married. I so badly wanted to take her photo because it was like stepping back in time seeing a dark skinned girl with this gorgeous white gown with the mission as her backdrop. I wonder if my daughter might get married there? Hmmm...

Anyway, this layout was once again created using the Swirlydoos kit "Antebellum Beauty". I have created 5 or 6 layouts with this kit and I have NEVER done that before! Krissy really rocked this one if you ask me (not that she doesn't always, lol).

A Scrappy Day

I finally got motivated to go into my scraproom today. The first layout I did was of Kevin and Moe at The Tower of the Americas in San Antonio:



The second one I did was of Kevin and Levi hugging when Levi visited us in Florida last summer. I sure miss that little guy!

Anyway, it is made using the Swirlydoos kit from June - Antebellum Beauty. If you haven't figured it out yet - I REALLY loved that kit, lol!!

This layout is also based on a sketch by Beggahuna and you can see it here:

A Day at the Tea Garden:

By far, the tea gardens are my most favorite place to take photos! I have hundreds and hundreds of them from there and can't wait to keep going back to take more.

Anyway, here is another layout I made last night of our day spent at the gardens last week:



I used the Fancy Pants 'Road Show' papers and tons of Prima flowers!
