Hi! Mandie here for another Friday guest post! I hope everyone has had a good week!
I have a couple of layouts to share with you guys today.
The View From Here:
I know! I know. The title is incredibly corny with the ViewMaster reels! I couldn't help myself. Fot this layout I used Sasparilla (plus a couple of cream buttons from Holiday Style.) I made the ViewMaster overlay on my Silhouette and started layering on little bits and goodies from the collection. I would like to put it out there now - I could use a ton of this gingham pattern. I LOVE gingham, and the blue on this pattern is so gorgeous! One of my favorite patterns from the Sasparilla line. I had to force myself to use it because I just wanted to hoard it!
(I adore that flower style button in the button packages. Seriously. Was so thrilled when they started putting that shape into the button packages, as well as the miscellany!)
My girl LOVES to read. I love that about her. She devours books. Lately it's been anything by Rick Riordan. Last weekend she started the 1st book in the Kane Chronicle series. She read the book in the car on the way to church, on the way from church to lunch, at the restaurant, at the park and in the craziest (& most uncomfortable looking positions!) I have ever seen.
I loved the die cut sticker sheet from Farmhouse. And, I especially loved this bookplate sticker. It was the inspiration for this layout. When I saw it, I knew I needed to use it for a layout about my little (or not so little, as it turns out!) book worm!
Well.... That's it for today! Thanks for joining me. I look forward to my post next Friday! I hope you all have an awesome weekend!

The viewmaster is NOT corny. I LOVE IT!!

Hi, Cathleen! I thought I could reply directly to you, but I can't figure it out. Lol. So, I hope you see this! It is a typewriter! I don't have a cool, vintage one - just a "modern" Brother one.

Your style is wonderful, Mandie. :) The "awkward" pic in the second layout is hilarious!

Mandie, you're awesome :) The view finder reels, the upside-down-reading daughter, the mix of OA loveliness... perfection.

I just had to comment...Mandie - your "she reads" page is SO much like my own daughter! I have many many pics of my girl reading like this (in strange positions too - ha!). Love the viewmaster cuts too - so creative!

Wow your girl REALLY loves to read lol! How's that position possible?

Mandie you never cease to amaze me! Love them both. You're making me want a Silhouette SO SO badly! Thank you for the awesome inspiration!

HOW DO YOU GET THE TYPE STYLE ON YOUR TAGS/BANNERS? LOOKS LIKE AN OLD FASHIONED TYPEWRITER TYPESET?

Mandie, these are WONDERful!! I love love the view master stuff! I wanted to buy that at Silhouette but had no idea how I would use it! I love the way you've arranged them - so cute on that gingham! And the second one, soooo pretty - love that girly cluster with the book - perfect for this page! I like the photos too.

Oh, Mandie! Your use of those ViewMaster reels and ephemera is just brilliant! LOVE your pages! That photo of your DD reading upside-down is PRECIOUS!
