Steel Magnolias Quick Page Freebie

Carolyn at Scrap N Tag has a new collection called Steel Magnolias. She has allowed her CT members to create Quick Pages to give away as freebies on our blogs. And today, you get mine!

Whenever I think of magnolias, I am reminded of my grandmother. She has a huge magnolia tree in her front yard that I played under as a child. I can remember trotting my Barbies across fields of moss under the tree and making all kinds of things with the leaves and seed pods from the tree. So here is my grandmother . . . a picture I took of her in January 2008. All papers and elements are from Steel Magnolias, with the exception of the alpha, which is a freebie called Misty Night Alpha by New Life Dreams.

Here is a preview of the entire collection. There are so many wonderful collections in the store right now. Take a few minutes to have a peek here: SCRAP N TAG STORE.

And here is the quick page preview, which looks exactly like my layout but without the alpha.

In The Sea - Under the Sea Quick Page Freebie

Blossoming

My dear sister is pregnant with her second child and she looks absolutely beautiful. She's having a BOY! Her daughter is absolutely gorgeous, and I'm sure this little one is going to be handsome as well.

I used Carolyn's new kit she created for another CT member, Adelina, that you can find at Scrap N Tag's blog (FOR FREE!: click HERE to visit her blog and download the kit.) I love the colors in this collection. And what is even more exciting is that Carolyn will be creating a collection named after me with colors I have picked. So keep checking back because I'm sure I'm gonna go nuts with that collection when she gets finished with it.
