Saturdays With LeAnn

Welcome back, my friends, on this cool fall day. The weather where I live has become very chilly. On days like today I really enjoy staying in and working on some crafting. My hope is that you will be inspired with today’s projects and begin to create some of your very own. Never hesitate to try something different; let your imagination run wild!

Dream Big By Lisa Gregory

This precious layout really caught my eye, especially because I will be getting a new little grandson in about 6 weeks. There is nothing more sweet than a new born baby.  Lisa designed such a perfect layout for her sweet photo. I was so drawn in by all of the fine details used to create this adorable layout.

Lisa prepared her background by mounting a piece of white cardstock onto a piece of corrugated cardboard, then painted the paper with a Mountain Meadow paint color.  This was just the beginning of her fabulous creation. Click here and I will take you over to her blog where she will give you step-by-step instructions to create this precious layout.  A big thank you to Lisa for sharing this fabulous project.

I recently have been pondering on some very special friends who have touched my life in so many ways. When I came upon this adorable card I couldn’t help but stop in my tracks and realize again how blessed I am to have them in my life.
