4 Generations



I've been making so many cards lately because of WCMD, I needed to take a break and do some scrapping.

This layout is for Elle's Studio's current sketch. 

This photo is a really special one - from my grandmother's visit this past June.  My grandmother is an amazing lady, she's dealt with ovarian cancer, knee surgery, and this summer was the first time in a LONG time she was able to come out to the East Coast.  She'd never met either of the girls, and it was great to introduce them. 

I'm using CTMH's Avonlea papers.  Aren't they pretty?  They're perfect for a heritage style layout.  I did some fussy cutting from one of the sheets of paper to get some of the embellishments (flower and doily type emblem), the Cricut Artiste cartridge for the letters and numbers, and the sewimg machine to add some texture/structure. 







Hope that your day is going well....I ended up having to come home early.  Something I ate last night did NOT agree with me.  The good news is that I was able to catch up on the DVR and do some fussy cutting at the same time....feeling loads better now!

I'm going to link this up over at ScrapFit for their paper piecing challenge too.

Have a great evening, I'll have some more of my WCMD cards to share tomorrow.
