Design Tech Layouts for Scraps of Elegance February Kit

Love is in the Air

 This layout is a photo of my son, Patrick and his girlfriend, Katie.  Used Pan Pastels for the first time in the background (it's the soft pink).  Loved using that stuff.  I also went crazy with my Sizzix dies.  I just can't find the right layouts sometimes to use them, and they are so much fun!



Celebration of Nana's Life


Katie's Mom passed away suddenly last year.  This is a photo taken at Nana's Memorial Service.  The family had just taken a vacation to Hawaii, and spent the best time ever.  So, as a celebration of Nana they wanted to remember good times in the sun at her service.  It was a truly sad day, but they were happy as well knowing that she was in a better place.  

That's all for now on my February layouts.  Thanks for stopping by, and here's a Big Alaska Bear Hug from me to you!!!


I have a few layouts to share with everyone that were created using the Scraps of Elegance February Kit, "Love Always".

Cutie Pie

This is a photo of my son's girlfriend's daughter.  I've never cut out a photo before, and had a wonderful time adding all the texture to the background.  I just stamped away, added lots of mists, modeling pastes, stenciled until it came together the way I wanted it.  I'm really pleased with it!!!

February Scraps of Elegance Kit

I'm so excited about our February Kit.  Andddddddd...... here it is!








And, here is the gorgeous sketch we have to share from our own Charlotte Jenkins (aka Suepup)





I've already created one layout from the kit.



It's me and the Hubby, Kip.  We were on one of our rare vacations about 8 years ago at Seaside, Oregon with my sister, her hubby and kiddlets.  What a glorious day, so warm and sunny.  We were so filled with the joy of having each other.  Aren't we a cute OLD couple.  I can't believe this year we will have been married 42 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't do anything special on this layout, just some inking.  The little envelope on the left side will have a tag with a special note to my Hubby (sorry, it's private, hehehehe).  The beautiful scroll frame is actually a transparency from Kaisercraft.  I just love using transparencies.  I think they are pretty cool.  The gorgeous rhinestone brotch (sp?) in the flower cluster is a gift from my dear friend Renea Harrison (aka Reneabouquest).  She is such a precious Southern gal to me.  I love her to pieces!!!!

Reveal Day for the SOE will be on February 14th, so don't miss seeing all the wonderful creations the Design Tech have created.  I think this month is going to be extra special!  I will be posting mine with the DTs at that time.

Have a wonderful week......don't ya just love Mondays??????

Till next time, here comes a Big Alaska Bear Hug from the Far North
