Young Love; Twisted Sketches; Antique Linen ~ November Swirlydoos Scrapbook Kit

Hi everyone, happy Friday!! Here is one of my favorite layouts yet. This is of my Mom and Dad on their Wedding Day. I also did this for this weeks sketch and challenge over at Twisted Sketches. The challenge was to use ruffles on your layout. I hope dad doesn't mind?? And I also used my Swirlydoos November ~ Antique Linen ~ Scrapbook Kit. This is actually one of my favorite kits yet. The paper is just gorgeous!! I did add in a few paper flowers, thickers and ribbon. The journaling on the back reads:

Young Love,
Who could have imagined that one young man, Eldon ****, who just turned 21, and was from ****, Oklahoma, and one young lady, Lola ****, who was 16 but just 2 months from her 17th Birthday, and who was from Missouri, but visiting her older brother Earl and his wife, Norma, in ****, Oklahoma, would meet, fall in love and get married on October 5, 1950. And from their love, they would have
4 wonderful children (including me!),
12 beautiful grandchildren, and
17 beautiful great-grandchildren and more are on the way!!
This has truly been a love affair that has lasted throughout the years and is still going strong..
Mom and Dad, we love you very much!!

Coltens Road Trip, Twisted Sketches

Good Monday morning everyone!! I have a new found respect for mothers who scrap with little ones. I don't see how you get anything done!! I was needed to help my DS and DDIL with the kiddos this weekend, and needless to say, I didn't even see the inside of my scrap studio until they went home yesterday around 5:oo pm. It's just not safe to let a little 1 year old loose in there. Too many "fun" items to stick in his mouth...

Friday, I worked on my Christmas cards all day. I want to surprise everyone and get these out early this year... I did get a lot done, but still need to work on them a little more.. But, I did get all of the embossing done.. yea!!!

I also started on this layout of little Colten, but still need to tweak it a little. The photos were taken at his Birthday Party a week ago. He got this little car and he loooooves it, as you can tell. Wasn't for sure what I was going to do with that little die cut car that was cut with the Silhouette SD, but while I was babysitting Colten yesterday, I got this cute picture from the back with him holding his sippy cup. But when you look at the photo I think it looks like he's holding a steering wheel. You may want to make the page larger to see that, and then just use your imagination. And I also added a portion of a photo of our drive to make it look like he's driving down the road. Wow, sometimes I even surprise myself...lol..

I used the sketch challenge over at Twisted Sketches.. Along with the sketch, we were to do some distressing. I distress the edges of the SU Chocolate Chip CS.

Hope you like it, here's what I used..
