So it's been so long since I've posted that my Typeapad account logged me out. Nice.
To get back into posting mode I thought I'd share a quick layout I did last night and posted to the Gallery at 2peas HERE.
I loved the weekly challenge this week from Shannon Tidwell to use clusters. I clustered some MM and Heidi Grace stickers/embellishments to create my title.
This layout is part of my Christmas Card Photos from Friends and Family album that I add to each year. I am up-to-date except for the 2008 photos so this is the first of probably two layouts with this past year's photos from cards. :)
A simple layout but I like to keep these pretty clean since there are usually so many photos on one layout. ;)
If you want to see more of the layouts from this album, go HERE.
We are in the midst of a spring blizzard here in the midwest. Crazy. We got barely any snow over the winter months and last week it was gorgeous weather. In fact, the kids wore shorts and flip flops several of the days during our spring break. I even planted some flowers. Luckily only two planters. It's expected to snow all day and we could get more than 15+ inches. Blech.
Off to finish up my Celebrate the Seasons class for April. :)
More soon!
We live in Parker, CO and we got 18 inches and I was just thinking a week ago it was 80!!! Gotta love the crazy Colorado weather. Glad we are on spring break so we didn't have to drive in it. The my husband and girls went out to shovel this morning. It was 14 degrees!
Wanted to say that I love the simpleness of this layout! It looks so good even with not much but the photos on it. I like that immensely but I can't seem to make it work myself. I want to but maybe I need to change something that I'm doing. Sometimes it feels too naked but you seem to make it look easy!
Nice work!!!

Welcome back!!
This LO is great! I see some familiar faces there. :) The red, blue, & green is such a fun color combo & that MM line was a favorite of mine. Thanks for sharing this.
I saw your hometown on the Weather Channel last night & heard you were getting snow...join the rest of us. Unlike you guys, we have had record setting snow in our entire state & the whole place is a flood zone. Thankfully we're high & dry here, but I feel so badly for those who are fighting this. Sunny & COLD today...brrr!
Have a great weekend & keep thinking SPRING!! It's gotta come sometime, doesn't it?

Yeah! We're having tornadoes in one part of the state and winter weather in the other...ARKANSAS in March!!
About the Christmas lo: Did you use the original Christmas card photos as is or scan and recrop? What a puzzle! IT looks great.

I am so happy you posted again. I know life can be busy at times.
Love your how this layout came together the colors work so well with these photos.
Wow...more snow? I hope you can stay warm and enjoy family time indoors. Maybe you can get a photo of a spring flower or flowering tree with snow on it.

I love this lo! I am sure it is so much fun to compare family photos from each year, this is such a great idea!
So did you guys get a lot of snow over the weekend? You may know this already, but we are going to be there next week and we were hoping to pack shorts and flip flops and enjoy some warmer weather!! Doesn't sound like it though!
We are so excited to see everyone, take care!
