Cooper turns 2 on April 1st! I can’t say it enough: TIME FLIES.

I love these photos of my sister, Emilee with Cooper. In the first photo, I called his name and he looked toward me; in the second photo, he caught notice of me and smiled; in the third photo he reached for me.

I love it when he reaches for me. It’s so fun to be aunt Christie.

At this rate “Banner Week” will more likely last more than a week.

On this layout I used the Wood Veneer Banners by Studio Calico.

How do you feel about wood embellishments? I like the texture they added.

Off to play with more banners.

Have a fan-tabulous day!

My sweet baby sister with her soon to be husband (in only 15 days)!

In this layout I stretched a few requirements.

I needed to use Graphic 45 paper along with Tattered Angels Product.

My sister’s wedding has a snowflake theme and her colors are shades of blue, lavender and silver.

I used blue & lavender cardstock, silver glimmer mist and the Tattered Angels Glimmer screens to create the snowflakes on the layout.  I added a little bling here and there to make the snowflakes stand out.

I reworked the photo of Em and Jordan to look a little more vintage…I felt this allowed me to get away with using the matching sepia-tone colors in the Graphic 45 snowflake paper.

OK.  It was a stretch but it fulfilled my requirements and sometimes a girl has to hit a few birds with only one stone.

P.S.

Emilee had her Bridal Photos taken last weekend in the freezing cold.  Em’s photographer, Jaclyn was SUPER fun and talented!

Check out some of the shoot:
