Where your treasure is....

LOAD #1

This month at Let's Scrap we are doing a month long of challenges!!

This is NSD13#1 Challenge... 

This was Tiffany's challenge:

'Each and every one of us has been touched by the words in a book at some point in our lives, be it a cute rhyme that brings back memories of childhood storytime or a motivating quote from a literary classic. Grab your favorite book and use it as inspiration for this challenge. Create a layout using a quote from your favorite book, it can be the title or somewhere on your layout. Let the book inspire the colors and details of your page.'

So My Adorable One has been re-watching the Harry Potter movies ALOT lately and I heard this in one of the movies and it stuck in my head...

'Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also..'

I have been scrapbooking alot of lil Preston's pics and it gets hard to come up with titles for all the newborn shots so I thought this quote was perfect!! I have some sparkly flowers and some magical bling on the page as well... and some Incredible Pics of the kids and lil Preston!!

Starbucks

LOAD #6

Starbucks... so it's not like I am all caught up on my scrapbooking and 

have nothing else to scrapbook other than this pic... BUT this pic is super

sweet to me. After my heart attack before I was going out to much in the world, 

My Adorable One would go to Starbucks for the both of us and he would bring my 

drink home to me.. everytime he would come home with these 'soooo sweet' little notes

written on the cup from our Starbucks gals and guys. I only got this one pic of the cups, I 

wasn't thinking to clearly the first couple of weeks after all that. But I do have this one pic

and I think it is just too sweet and it deserved to be scrapbooked... so I did!!!

click to enlarge

The journaling pretty much says just what I wrote above. I didn't use a sketch for this

layout... I was flipping thru a magazine and saw a layout using the paper scrap strips under the pic

and I was off and running with my layout... the Starbucks 'embelli's' are the sleeves from the hot

beverage cups... we have a biz-zillion of them here so I got to use 3 more!!! Fun stuff!!
