Here's my first LO this month. Photo is of my mom on the verge of turning 13 in the Fall of 1944.

This LO features these great products from the SBD store:

Lily Bee Designs - French Couture Collection
Exclusive - http://www.scrapbook...h...at=0&page=1
Fashion Show - http://www.scrapbook...h...at=0&page=1
Fashion Frames Die Cuts - http://www.scrapbook...h...at=0&page=1
Fashion Essentials Die Cuts - http://www.scrapbook...h...at=0&page=1
Tattered Angels - Glimmer Mists
Burnt Red - http://www.scrapbook...h...at=0&page=1
Tuscan Sun - http://www.scrapbook...h...at=0&page=1



Designer Notes:
Once you remove the four die cuts from the Fashion Frames Die Cuts sheets, there's plenty of coordinating paper left behind on the 12x12 sheet, so be sure to punch some shapes. I punched the butterflies for my LO. And I used the Glimmer Mists to change the color of my paper flowers - love that!

My mom's high school graduation photo (photo taken Fall 1948) and she graduated in June 1949.

This LO features the following items from the SBD Store:

Daisy D's Pattern Papers

Clearsnap Fluid Chalk Ink in Dark Brown - http://www.scrapbook...h...at=0&page=1
Tsukineko Multi-Surface Chalk Ink in Tea Leaves - http://www.scrapbook...h...at=0&page=2






Designer Notes: If you have emphemera to include and don't want to alter it in any way, then scan it to use on your LO like I did. I attached the original invitation in an envelope on the back of my LO. Because the invitation text is a very ornate script, I kept my title and journaling fonts simple. Of special note, my mom had replaced the gemstone in her class ring at some point, and I had found the original gemstone loose in the bottom of a cardboard box of her stuff, so I used it as a flower center.

Oh my gosh Laura and Kathi...what amazing work girls.

[scrapnnMO]

WOW Kathi those are all just so stunning!

Laura love your creations as well!

You both are such inspirations!

[kathi_minikatie]

Thanks, ladies! I just loved our themes this month and had so many thoughts for LOs. I'm hoping I can get to a couple of more .

This LO features a few of my favorite things - two roses in my garden Frederic Mistral and Cherry Parfait. Yeah, I made a booboo in the journaling and will need to fix it later . I confused Frederic w/ another rosebush I had called Peter Mayle. Unfortunately, Peter didn't survive GA's drought and my neglect.

This LO features the following items from the SBD Store:

Basic Grey - Bittersweet Collection
Belgian - http://www.scrapbook...h...at=0&page=1
Praline - http://www.scrapbook...h...at=0&page=1
Cherry Cordial - http://www.scrapbook...h...at=0&page=1
Hand-Dipped - http://www.scrapbook...h...at=0&page=1





Designer Notes: I had lots of fun adding some rose embellishments that have been in my stash for awhile and also stitching a border and adding pearls and rhinestone to enhance it. I think the stitched border really helps to frame the two photos.

[mommy5x]

Kathi...this is stunning.

[mommy5x]

Here is one from me....I love this line from Basic Grey....which can all be purchased at Dreamer.

[angelbear]

[scrapadel]

Stunning, stunning and even more stunning.
Kathi, you have sold me those Daisy D's papers. I always love Daisy D's for the Vintage/Heritage look and I love these papers.

[Tammydee]

For this layout I used the 3 Bugs in a Rug- Snips & Snails Collection available in the SBD store. It's wonderful for boy layouts!

[scrapadel]

Tammy, I love how you did the title and the felt stars. Stunning page.

[mommy5x]

Tammy these layouts are gorgeous. Love the 3 bugs in a rug paper. Perfect colors...oh heck the layouts are just perfect!!!!

[angelbear]

[stampomaticmama]

nice work ladies.. mine will be loaded later but i'm waiting for my kit too. *winks*

[megamay]

Here is mine...Bo Bunny is one of my favorite companies....

Laura - is that butterfly from the store here? can you link me up because I can't find it?

[megamay]

This isnt really a May reveal, since the papers are from my last kit, but I thought Id put it here anyway. I plan to enter it in the Lily Bee mini album contest, but I think I might want to add something to spice it up a little first, just not sure what yet. Any ideas?

Thank Kathi both ladies mean the world to me.

Just because it is from previous months does not mean it can't be used for your reveal...as long as it is from Dreamer all is good...your mini is AWESOME!
