CLICK HERE FOR CONTEST RULES AND DETAILS
My Perfect Girl
You can't buy loyalty, they say,
I bought it though, the other day;
You can't buy friendship, tried and true,
Well just the same, I bought that too.
I made my bid, and on the spot
Bought love and faith and a whole job lot
Of happiness, so all in all
The purchase price was pretty small.
I bought a single trusting heart,
That gave devotion from the start.
If you think these things are not for sale,
Buy a brown-eyed puppy with a stump for a tail.

On this last week of December 2012, we give to you a beautiful layout created by Sherri. We are always creating memories of our family and loved ones, and sometimes we over look the family members who are closest to our hearts. Our fur babies. The circular design that Sherri chose to frame her photo is lovely with the tickets that are fanned around the circle. The coffee stained papers give the layout a rustic feel of the great outdoors. The dual punched corners using a corner punch, with the cluster of flowers sweetens the page beautifully. The angel peering down over the flowers just adds a finishing touch. Beautiful work Sherri. Just beautiful!!

Autumn Fires
Robert Louis Stevenson
In the other gardens
And all up the vale,
From the autumn bonfires
See the smoke trail!
Pleasant summer over
And all the summer flowers,
The red fire blazes,
The grey smoke towers.
Sing a song of seasons!
Something bright in all!
Flowers in the summer,
Fires in the fall!

Manda wows us with this awesome layout featuring photo's of her beautiful self. The amazing cluster of flowers frames both photo's and brings them together as one. The touch of blue stands out as it brings out the blues in the photo. The blue represents the "chill in the air" among the fiery colors. The curves in the paper soften the whole layout making the composition a beautiful one. We love this one Manda. Really really beautiful!

Snowflakes and Butterflies
Helen MichelleDelicate snowflakes
Fall gently from the skies
Fluttering down in symmetry
Like pretty butterflies
So beautiful, so perfect
Elegant and white
Floating on the gentle breeze
Like butterflies in flight...

What a most wonderful time of the year....Linda chose to showcase her grandson in this beautiful winter layout. It has such warmth as her grandsons smile just lights up the page. The circular design element brings the feeling of snowballs in the air. The delicate look of icicles is created using the jeweled vines hanging on trim. The misting of red here and there brings out the beauty of the poinsettias. The stitching and distressing just lends a touch of vintage nostalgia to the overall page. It is a perfect winter layout, But oh so warm! Love this one Linda. Beautifully done...

Smile
© Heather Black
A smile is cheer from you to me,
the cost is nothing its given for free.
They console the weary and gladden the sad.
And can make someone happy when they are mad.
Unlike blessings in which we pray
its the only thing you keep when you give it away.

This week we bring to you another gorgeous layout created by Barbara. The photo is of her adorable grand daughter. Just look at those curls! A modern day Shirley Temple.Not to long ago, HSN had shown a new product by Martha Stewart. It is a circle punch. And it is WONDERFUL!!! The larger blue circle in the back and the smaller decorative circles were both punched with the machine. You just change the punches. Until it hits the general public, they are exclusive to HSN. But this isn't about the punch, this is about the beautiful layout Barbara created using her amazing talent. The color contrast of the blue, black and hints of yellow is striking. The flower clusters are just gorgeous and love that little birdies tucked into the clusters. The whole design is just divine. But that smile just lights up the whole layout. Great job Barbara, we totally adore this one!!
