Here We Are at # 40!!!! UPDATED

Our lift of the week is by Gerada, Nevache on the digishoptalk boards.



I was drawn into the layout by the fabulous autumn colors and beautiful pictures of her dog. I was sad to read the subject matter of the layout - but it's really a great layout and I know we can have fun lifting it!

I really love the cardboard wrapped around by those beautiful ribbons and the wonderful colors. It is simple but conveys the feeling of the layout and the colors of the season it's portraying.

Go ahead and leave her some praise here: Extended Time and then join me in lifting this layout!

Wow - what fun - we had a lot of you ladies joining me for this one - the last lift of 2006!!


I had so much fun doing this layout - it's not my normal style, so it was hard to do all the rick racks and embellishments - but I love the way it came out!!! I have been wanting to use Shabby Princess's Winter XL kit, and these pictures and layout were perfect for it!!!

I used Shabby Princess's AWESOME Winter XL Mega Kit, available at http://www.theshabbyshoppe.com and Gina Cabrera's Cardboard, available at http://www.digitaldesignessentials.com



This adorable lift is from Lindsay Lou!!!! I got a total giggle feeling inside when I saw this one - the pictures are just too adorable and I love the pink and brown theme!!

This elegant layout is from Bunster!!! I really love the rick colors in the layout and the stringed circles with the gold snowflake she used to tie down the photo!! I also like the way she used one picture and just tiled them over eachother and made the cardboard mimic the shape of the tree!! Awesome, inventive lift!!!

This fun layout is by Immaculeah. I'm glad I'm not the only one who transports my kid to take pictures in front of big things!! LOL!!! I love the colors and the fun way she showcased it all. I especially like the way she used the safety pin with all the fun bling on it!!!!! 

She says, "Sorry my girls' faces did not appear to be clear as I wanted to capture the giant toys. Thanks for taking a peek!"

and Last, but certainly not least, is Amanda's lift! I got really teary eyed reading the journaling! It's so hard to say goodbye to people and it just reminded me how lucky I am to have my Mom 10 minutes away from me! I love the little clump of elements she used, and those forget me nots are a perfect touch!
