For A Special Family

My brother and his family have always lived very near to us. When we moved to Conquest three years ago, we were 45 minutes away and that is the farthest we have ever been. Needless to say, the kids are all very close.

Well, this past summer, my brother, his wife and their four kids moved away…far away…like a whole different province away. We miss them so much.

I saw the challenge for this week at Heart2Heart and it was to create something for someone you are thankful for. We are thankful for all the years we had living close to them and now we are thankful for the times we are able to get together with them.

This is what I came up with:

Supplies Used (CTMH unless noted):

Paper:
Passages (retired)

Stamps:
Homestead Alphabet (retired)
The Works Alphabet
Serve the Lord (Clear Dollar Stamps)

Accessories:
Wooden Rope Frame (Dollarama)
Eclectic Alphabet Irresistibles
Rub-Ons (retired)
Fabric Flowers (LSS)
Sparkles-Green Assortment

Sweet Little Twins

My cousin just had the most beautiful little twin girls. I wanted to make them something special that they could treasure forever. The problem is, with working full-time, being a mom to three kids and a wife to the fourth, doing Scentsy parties and CTMH classes and Christmas trade shows, I do not have time to sit and make albums like I usually do for new babies in the family.

I decided I would make them DVD mini albums. this idea is totally inspired by an album I received in a swap last year. i don’t know who made it, but she is very talented.

Here is my take:
