More goodies from Mom To Boys Scraps

Sandra at Mom To Boys Scraps has another great mini kit called LI'L LADY ... the color palette in this kit is so RICH looking (a real departure from the previous two kits of hers that I created with ...)

LI'L LADY

available exclusively at Berry Sweet Scraps

I used her kit to frame out these lovely amarylis that were blooming in the San Antonio Botanical Gardens when we visited on April 1, 2012 - no foolin', Spring was in FULL bloom!

Be sure to stop by Sandra's new store - she opened on May 7 - and take a look around!

SPRING INTO COLOR

available exclusively at Berry Sweet Scraps

Another great color palette from Sandra, and a chance for me to show off this beautiful rose again from the San Antonio Botanical Gardens 4/1/2012

That rose just jumps right off that page of soft colors, just like it did in the garden!  It was a PERFECT as a flower could be!

New from Jen C Designs COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS

We had an opportunity to COUNT OUR BLESSINGS yesterday with a visit from my niece Julie, husband Joe, and "the boys" Blake and Chase.  We all gathered in the afternoon at my sister's house to celebrate Mom's 83 birtday!  Chase at 7 months is a friendly, happy baby and was will to be passed around to all of us (I hadn't seen his since Christmas day ... and 5 months of growing had really changed him.  I used a picture I took of him on Great Grandma's lap (my mom) to feature in this layout.

My second layout commemorates the completion of an item on my "bucket list!"  I called my layout I DID IT!  which is true - on my second attempt (better prepared and motivated) I climbed to the top of Enchanted Rock! April 9, 2012 (just a few days before I broke my wrist last year!)  The view of the surrounding area was gorgeous ... the photo shows the "lone tree" growing in the top of the rock!

BIG SHOT 2

SNAP SHOT

SUNBURST

and some more TIMELINE TEMPLATES (for Facebook Time Lines)

I worked on a layout with SNAPSHOT #1 last night, and I swear it took me longer to select the photos and the kit, then it did to complete the project (not really, but Jen's templates are easy to use!)

I finally settled on Jen C Designs THANKFUL because it was the best color match for my variegated fritillary butterfly pictures! (taken 4/21/2012 near Spicewood, Tx in a field that must have been BUTTERFLY HEAVEN - they were everywhere!)

THANKFUL is available @ Gotta Pixel

Here's my layout - if you're local to this area, you may recognize the "Simply Beautiful" I used as my title.  (That's the catch phrase for our local public radio station, and it fit my thoughts about this layout SO WELL!)
