On Bended Knee Featuring 75 Cents Collection Kaiser Craft

On Bended Knee Featuring 75 Cents Collection by Kaiser Craft

Created by Anita Mulcahey

I received such a wonderful kit this month to play with.  Kaiser Craft 75 Cents Collection is just so elegant and you can do so much with it.  My 21 year old son has been dating his girlfriend for 8 years and this past March after her spring break he sent her around town on a scavenger hunt to all their favorite places.  He had two of her best friends meet her at each stop and give her a red rose.  He was waiting in the church they will be married in with a white rose, in a new suit ready to propose. 

We are so lucky that he values family so much as he let both her family and ours be in the balcony of the church to see him propose.  We couldn't hear what he was saying but my heart just about burst when he went down on bended knee.  I am so proud of this amazing young man and love his fiance dearly.  We are looking forward to an October 2015 wedding after he graduates from college.

This paper line worked so perfectly with the photo from the church and I would hurry on over to The Hens' Den Store to get some before it is gone.

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut this gorgeous heart lattice as well as the frame and scallop border.  I love how much I can do with this wonderful machine.

Simple Stories 24 Seven Mom Layout

Created by Anita Mulcahey

Some photos just seem to grab you and you just know that you need to do something with them.  This is a dear friend of mine with her mother at a recent girls weekend on Cape Cod which they do every year.  I have had so much fun creating with this Simple Stories 24 Seven line and this is my third project this month.  If you haven't purchased it yet, you need to hop on over to The Hens' Den and get yours before it is gone.

There are so many amazing elements in this set and the gorgeous colors and quality that you expect from Simple Stories.  This photo just makes me so happy as you can plainly see the love Anne has for her dear mother.

I had such fun scrapping this adorable picture of my daughter.  She was in a Pretty Little Princess Pageant, only once because she really wanted to and actually it was lovely.  She had these photos taken to submit for entry and made a kissy face with her beautiful eyes closed.  I entered this in the Paper Secrets Sketch challenge with a twist, which was to use lots of bling.
