Webster's Pages & Get Creative!

Hey everyone. An evening post for me as I've been too busy gossiping with my good friend Carrie all day and am finally getting to it now! We generally get together once a week or more and we spend the day visiting while our kids play...and gives me a good excuse to get NOTHING accomplished...all...day...long, lol!

But here I am, better late than never :).

I created the following layout using a whole pile of different Webster's Pages collections...I lost track, but there are at least 6 different collections used here, if only small parts of them. I love that I own pretty much every one of their lines and that I can pick and choose amongst the scraps to put a nicely coordinating piece together. I will never tire of the fussy cutting opportunities and finding new and interesting ways to dress them up :). For this particular layout, I was inspired by the "We Love Our Guys" challenge on the Webster's site, encouraging us to scrap about the special guys in our life. I have three very special guys in my life: my husband, my older son Wyatt, and my younger son Gunner. Here I've scrapped Gunner, who just had a 2nd birthday and also who I've spent a lot of time thinking about lately. All of my kids are very special, but because he just reached his second year, I've done a bit of pondering his growing older and my reluctance to allow him to do so...  

So here's what I put together for this challenge:

"My Guy"

I've been doing a bit of design team work lately after taking a week off when Kelly was here visiting, and have been working without sketches. So for this page I decided to turn to the July 1st sketch challenge at Get Creative, using a beautiful sketch created by the very talented Melenia:

And here are some close-ups for you...

I've dressed up this umbrella with some Webster's bling from one of their bling strips, then added some burlap and flowers.

 Behind my main white flower I've tucked a couple of the beautiful Webster's Sparklers vintage button embellishments...

 This gorgeous chipboard flourish is from Scrap FX. They have the most amazing selection of flourishes...

 This merry-go-round has also been decked out with some Webster's bling and some flowers...

 These words really speak what I feel for Gunner in my heart :)...

I really hate that the lantern on the right has a crooked string...need to fix that pretty much now. Will update my photo, lol!

And that should do it, folks!! So glad you stopped by for a quick look :)~ see you all again real soon...

Take care,
