Gorgeous Americana kit

Sarah Bennett has just collaborated with Trixie Scraps Designs to make the most gorgeous Americana kit I have seen! It is called Old Glory. This kit is absolutely packed with goodies. I know it will be one of my favorite "go to" kits for a long time to come. Here is a layout that I did with it.
I also used Get Real: shadows by Jennifer Barrette Designs and Becky's May (SB) CT blog train template to create this layout. The font is Porcelain

How about this?

Wow, I have been away for a while. I promise I have been super busy during this time. About a month ago my Mom moved in with us temporarily because she had broken her ankle and needed some help. We are talking a serious break here... steel plate and 38 pins / screws. (So once she is fully healed am I able to ask her if she has a screw loose? *grin*). So anyways, we were discussing all the pretty canes that you can get if you have a normal one and she said how sad she is that she can't get one because hers has the 4 "feet" on it and they don't make them pretty. **light bulb moment** So I thought about it and set about making her a pretty cane. Here is what I came up with...
Using Man in the Moon Designs kit Charming Gardner, a lot of mod podge, acrylic sealer, silk flowers, grosgrain ribbon and hot glue. She is absolutely in love with it and so anxious to get rid of the walker and be able to use and show off her beautiful new cane!
