Paper Issues......Moms

I went looking for this layout and realized that I never shared it with you!  

How could that be......I love it!!!!  

It's from our last kit at My Scrapbook Nook last fall....Echo Park. 

It goes perfectly with the current issue happening over at Paper Issues ;) 

It's sponsored by Pink Paislee and they are offering up a collection to one lucky winner!!!  So hurry.....you've got through Saturday (aka...tomorrow) to link up.  

Anything using Pink Paislee or something about mom in honor of Mothers Day.

These pics are of a little photo shoot my mom and i had done last summer.  It cracks me up that we look so sweet in this pretty meadow.....it was our last spot and we'd been having major giggles and being crazy the whole time!  That's how we roll ;)

While you're at it check out the store.....it's been loaded with new stuff....these are some of my faves!!!

Use my code CAROL for 20% your entire order.....go, run!!!!!

I've decided to be a rebel and not give away something scrappy.....whats that you say?????

Yep.......I've just opened an etsy shop, like yesterday ;)

and I want to share one of my favorite products with one of you!!!

all you need to do is follow my blog and leave a comment......stopping by my shop wouldn't hurt either, but not required ;)

These dish towels are made from flour sack cloths that I embellish with cute fabric  (it's almost like scrapbooking!)  They are large (aprox. 29x28) and perfect for decor or actually drying dishes!

I've only got a few things in my shop right now, but these towels will be making an appearance along with some of these items as well.....

I'm still playing with our Spring kit Lucky You.......and loving it!

These pics of our little Jack crack me up.....he was not happy about being put in that yellow duck!  But as you can see, he got over it.

This one of Samantha tells quite a story too!  It was her first time on Splash Mnt. at Disneyland and she was a wild little girl and couldn't wait to try it.......she got SOAKED!!!!  Drenched is more like it....did that 5 year old cry????  Heck no!  She partied and hooped and hollered and thought it was the best ride ever!!!!  She has been a roller coaster monster ever since ;)  Though it was a Dec. evening and there was NO way those clothes were going to dry.  Guess who got to buy the most expensive outfit ever in the park??!!

This kit has been perfect!  And so many possibilities with color combinations.  Get yours now before it's gone in the Paper Issues Shop

Don't forget you can use my code CAROL for 20% off

I absolutely love the stitched lines.....like dainty little garland and the bits of heart hanging about.  

It was one of those pages that just "popped" into my head and it came together so easily.  

That picture of Samantha just melts my heart and the sentiment is a gift of motherhood.  I loved her first.  Before anyone else got the chance, I knew her and I loved her first, and always.
