The rest I never posted from the retreat back at the beginning of November.

I had a bunch of pictures and papers in mind for a long time to do some pages. Just never got the 2 together until now!

Here is my daughter listening to her brother's heartbeat back in 2009...  DOCTOR BECK is in!

Sticker Tags were places around the photo collage style but also to hide those different things you only notice after the picture is developed. My husband took the pictures so even if it is those daily life type things. I really didn't need the laundry basket in there!

 This one you can guess and be right on your own what might be hiding under the tag! 

My little nurse made for the Everyday Paper Dolls Cartridge.

Just need to add the date.

This next page was done using a favorite shot of my son while we were out somewhere.

Some vellum sayings and tabs.

 Edge distressed - one of my favorite techniques.

Going to have to pick my husband's brain to see where we were and add a journal card.

Getting ready for you to arrive....

Some baby blue cotton twill ribbon across the patterned paper and cardstock. Then I finally pulled out these mixed blues pre-adhesive buttons I had. Using Posterboard Alphabet stamps and some mini silver embossed button stickers I had got put to use.

Polka Dot Alphabet and Whimsy? Alphabet stamps

Started working on a page with the Baby Announcement.

Another page in the planning stages started. My Newfie Loonie...I think this might have been one of those first pictures take after we started dating.

Well that it from the retreat!

Cruisin

I am so glad I found this dirt road tracks paper. At the time I lived by a bunch of dirt roads. 

Then and still have a brother who was always riding his Quad or Jeep in those dirt roads. Somewhere I knew I had pictures as a kid at my Aunt/Uncle's property riding around on Quads, even knew if I got to dig in Mom's photos there are Go-cart pictures too!
But then I had kids and I still want to do those pages I in-visioned when I bought the paper. Maybe I should say I had a BOY! AND He is DIRT & NOISE!

My nephew out grew his Battery-Operated Jeep so my kids got it! As you can see my niece, who is older than my nephew still enjoys the ride!

Using the dirt road tracks paper I Stamped out my title using Close To My Heart's Postboard Alphas, fussy cut them and attached down the page. Grouped my photos in a tight square, attached to that dirt road tracks paper then cut my mat about a 1/2" all around based on the position of the photos. Inked up the edge in black to match the title. Added the sentiment enjoy the ride and some tracks. Attached my metal charms with brads and cut out some burlap pennants. I attached them with a mini glue dot and added brads to the tops.   

Mud It Up!

This was a fun photo shoot with my daughter. We just moved to Newfoundland and she got to explore a different environment than our old grass back yard. She would ride around on her quad! 

I used Sassafras Lass "Paper Crush" Papers. Love the die-cut borders they have on the opposite side of the Company/Collection Name Strip. Used "Heartsick Cure" for my strip down the middle. On the other side of that paper it had the goldenrod lined paper that I stamped my title with. I fussy cut them out and popped them up with foam tape. Using "Head Over Heels" I trimmed about 4" x 11" piece to fit inside the "Pitter Patter" Framed background paper. Using those die-cut borders I added them to the edge of each of my pictures in replace of using a full mat on each photo. 

Added my Journaling Card and hand wrote my journaling. "You got new terrain to explore with your quad! In and Out for half the day. Mud Puddles all the way! By the end of the day you started doing tricks!"
