So sweet

I really like this easy but effective card made with the Simple Pleasures level 2 paper pack and C1389 So sweet stamp set. I used Cocoa and Twilight inks and just altering the ribbon give such a different look to the cards. Hope you like it :O)

'Family' Double layout

Here is a double layout which features the lovely neutral colors of the Simple Pleasures level 2 paper pack. Cocoa ribbon adds texture and I also used the stamp sets,Just the ticket, Chocolate alphabet and Frame of mind. Hope you like it :O)

Alaska Cruise Luggae Tag

Here is a cute luggage tag which I made from a mini clipboard- it is only small and just perfect for this. I used the CTMH Majestic Blue Level 2 paper and the R&R acrylic stamp set (unfortunately this is now retired - but I love it - so still use it). I colored the image using chalks.  Lots of ribbons at the top just finished it off and I used StazOn Black ink to stamp the word Journey on the metal clip.

Hope you like it :O)

Alaska Cruise Mini Album

This is a mini album which I made for myself and one each for the girls in my unit who had also earned the cruise - I think 7 in total :O) I used chipboard for the page covers and used the Coluzzle file folder template to make pages in the different sizes. I used the luggage tag which we were given by Close To My Heart as the decoration for the spine.

Here we are waiting at the airport to leave.

The left hand photo shows us at the Make and Take session that CTMH had arranged for us on the cruise ship. We made beautiful laouts and were given a Bamboo Linen album to put them in.

The left hand one shows me relaxing with Junea in the background.

These pages had mini file folders on them for journaling.

Leo and Elliott with the Juneau 'Eagle" as we got off the ship.

We went 'panning for gold' in Juneau - the scenery was spectacular and the water was freezing. So much fun to do this. The boys were so excited when they found gold and tiny pieces of ruby LOL.

These were 2 of the views from the train which took us along the Yukon pass in Skagway -

the scenery was breathtaking. ou can see the snow on the mountains.

Here is a totem pole in the village that we visited just outside of Ketchikan - it was really interesting

to learn all about how the totem poles are made and the history of the images carved into them.

This last photo shows Rich and I at dinner on the ship - I love this photo of us.

We had such a fun trip - this was our first cruise and our first trip with Close To My Heart.it was amazing - and I can't wait to take more :O)
