Grandpa Luther

Here we are back in west virginia on middle mountain. yep, that is me in the bottom pic when i was skinny and I only wore a 9-10 back then. before i got sick and on these medications. lol. When we was back here this time visiting my sister kymm had never tasted cows milk ever in her life and moms relatives had given her the what for, for not raising her right so to speak. LOL. I was raised on cows milk since i was so sick all my life and grandpa lambert and always stopped by to give us twins cows on his way to work. Us twins was sick so much and drank cows milk so we was used to it but kymm wasn't and this was her first time in this picture drinking it. On this layout, i used stampin up paper which is 2 sided and the ribbon is from stampin up and retired by the way. I made this to look like wallpaper and old-fahsion.which it does to me.

Mom

here is my mom as a teenager and before she was married. my dad asked her to marry her in this pic on the left and her wedding shower on the right, and her wedding pic on the bottom with both sets of parents. My mom age age is even on the layout so everyone can tell she was just 18 when she got married. i used stampin up real red paper, and dew drops. love the papaer since it has a pattern on both sides and i can use either patter for this.i also used stampin ups scallop edge punch.

Brothers and Sisters

this layouts is my grandpa and my aunts. I used stampin up papers again and ribbon but the ribbon is retired here. the paper you can buy in the catalog. I also cut by hand the title and attached it by brads. on the cardstock where the photo is i had used 2 different kinds of punches in the corners so i can just put my photo in without using tape or glue. it is just in the by the punches holding it in. the punch at the top gives it an old feel i think also. i used the zots continous glue lines to hold the ribbon in place. I am hoping to show you some more photos here as I scan them over the weekend but these are just 2 of what i did at my sisters and moms. I have more to show you of old picutres that i scrapped of my brothers also. when they was young and of my graduation of high school as promised.

Mom and Kyle

here i scrapped mom and kyle with stampin up bella blue. the ribbon is from stampin up also but is retired and i put rhinestones that is multicolored on there and a tag for jourlaing in a pocket.I used the zots continous running glue lines to hold the ribbon and zots medium glue dots for the rhinestones. double stick tape from scotch for the paper and purple glue stick for the corners.

I am Back

I am finally back from moms and ready to show you all the layouts that i got done. i did alot while I was there with my sister and while at moms also. Mom is also doing great and able to do some things but not everything just yet. she has 2 therapists and a nurse coming to see her. she just needs to get her arms and legs a bit stronger and mom will be back where she was before she broke her hip/ Now i will be scanning the layouts in here and putting some up for you to see as it will take me a couple of days to put them up as there are lots of them. i also was able to get some old pictures at moms while i was there also so ic an scrap them also. some of mom and dad and other relatives. way cool if you ask me. :) check you all later.
