I’ve used a variety of papers, stickers, and my Magnolia stamps …
and the second card:

My Fabulous Friends

 
Another layout using The Scrappiest Sketch of the week!

The photos are of my Scrappy Greek friends at an Improptu Crop that we did back in December …
I’ve used Sarah’s November Kit, the papers are Crate Papers – Season … the flower chipboard are Fancy pants, and the pink flower on the left is Maya Road Corduroy blooms …. I’ve used lots of perfect pearls to give it an extra shine!

Life – Everyday holds the possibility of a miracle.

This layout from The Scrappiest inspired me to do this:
 I’ve used two Unity stamps, and the January kit from Sarah’s cards!!
Come close-ups:
 
I’ve embossed and inked the heart … I’ve used the Fancy pants see-thru frame that overlaps the photo … 
I have another layout done, but that’s for a surprise to be revealed on Friday!!! 🙂 🙂
Still feel in a scrappy mood, so may have more stuff to show tomorrow!!!
