Sharon's September pages . . .

Hi everyone . . . September is here and with it came such sad news about the closing of BFS.  I know that the scrapbook world will never be the same. 

Today I would like to share 3 new layouts with you. Two were made with the newest collection:  "Happy Accident 2," and the first I made using "In the Mood," which is one of my favorites.

Layout #1:  Sweethearts

I featured a photo of my mom and dad on their wedding day here.  She was 19 and he was 21 when they got married.  So young!  The "In the Mood" collection seemed perfect for this treasured photo.  

Here is a close up:

I loved the "plenty of gems" chipboard pieces and embossed and decorated them with Taupe EP and pink topaz seedlings.

And another view:

Layout #2:  Smile Because it Happened

I highlighted a special photo of my daughter, Anne and three of her friends taken at "Chinese Camp" in 2012.  

Here is a close up:

A subtle change I made to the back of a pretty frame from the ephemera kit - I stamped it with the fleur wallpaper stamp, and embossed it with baby pink embossing powder:

Layout #3:  Be the Light

Once again, I used papers from the gorgeous Happy Accident 2 collection.  

For this layout, I scrapped photo of my daughters, Katie and Anne taken when we were walking at Jacobsburg Park last summer.  I love how the light is shining through the woods in the photo which inspired this entire pare.  

Here is a close up:

I felt that the chipboard piece "Be the Light" was so ideal here!  I embossed it with Blue Sky embossing powder.  And I also used the Scripture from Matthew 5:16 on my journaling tag from the ephemera pack.

Another close-up:

It's subtle, but I wanted you to see how I embossed directly on my page using the 

Accidental Collage stamp.
