I just finished this page this morning. I figured I should get her 5 year page done since she turned 6 yesterday!
I found inspiration at Jessica Sprague. Lots of cute stuff there.
products from Stampin up, Cosmo Cricket, & Cricut.
Thanks for looking!
This is a pretty simple design, but wouldn't you know it took me nearly an hour to do? That is what happens when it's been over a year since I've done a layout. I'm totally out of rhythm. I thought I would get some done since I'm on break from school. I did get 2 pages done this morning anyways.
So here's to a new year, and hopefully some catching up in my scrapbooks!
Thanks for stopping by!
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. We sure did and my pants are screaming for me to stop eating! LOL!
Yesterday was my daughter's 1st birthday and I forced myself to get her scrapbook up to date. This is her 9 month page using the Summer Home Simply Scrappin Kit. The colors are so beautiful and the elements are awesome. For the title I used some thickers. And the ribbon is the 1" Blue Bayou stitched grosgrain.
Thanks for stopping by! I'll post again later this week!
yeah, this picture is from a year ago (sept) and I finally got around to scrapping it. In fact, I've been in a scrappy mood and I'm now only 6 months behind! And I just bought a scrapbook yesterday and stuffed all of my finished layouts in there, added refill pages, and still filled it up with more layouts waiting to be put in another album.
I love this layout. I love it so much I think I've used it 3 times this last week. I do so many 1-picture layouts and this is the perfect page for that.
Have a great weekend!
totally stole this idea from my friend Kat. She made hers at Scrapfest and I had to do one too. Love the colors, design, everything!! Thanks Kat!
Stamps: Big Deal Alphabet
Paper: Tangerine Tango, Chocolate Chip, Almost Amethyst, Kiwi Kiss
Scallop circle was made with Cricut.
I'm always looking for inspiration for scrapbook layouts. I literally have hundreds of pages printed off of layouts and sketches. (now if I only had the time to use them all ;) ) This particular page got it's inspiration from Andrea Walford's card. I knew immediately it would make a great page for my scrapbook.
Here I've used our Autumn Vine 12x12 patterned paper along with Chocolate chip cardstock. I used Big Deal Alphabet for the title and for the lg orange shape I used Accent Elements Cricut cartridge.
These pictures are from a year ago, so you can imagine how far behind I am. I hope to get more scrap booking done this fall & winter so I can catch up!
Have a great day!
Here's a page I made using the Washington Apple papers. I've also used: Loads of Letters chipboard, new buttons & brads & scallop edge punch.
I'm off to school soon...my 2nd day! To add to the stress around here, my oldest started throwing up this morning and we obviously could not take her to daycare, so my wonderful husband is coming home to take care of the girls so I can go to class. I'm so grateful he is supporting me 100%!! I'm so lucky!
Have a great day everyone!
That's right people! I really didn't make this today, it was a few days ago, but I'll keep posting these until I run out of stuff!
This one was made with the Summer Days Kit from the Spring SU catalog. Instead of the Wild Wasabi green, I substituted Kiwi Kiss because I thought it matched the picture best. I also used that slick new Scallop edge punch. I love that thing! It makes the job so fast! Also are thickers & satin ribbon tied around the picture. Pretty simple.
Thanks for the super sweet comments yesterday on my page & encouraging words. I really appreciate it! I can't believe you guys still read this blog!
Oh my, I'm so sorry it's been so long since I've posted a project! this summer has just slipped away from me! I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about! I feel like I'm under pressure these days to get things done: with Cassie's 4th birthday coming soon and TODAY is my first day of school! Yes, me. I'm going back to school for the first time in 8 years! I'm excited, nervous, anxious, etc... I just hope I will do well. Oh, you might be wondering what I'll be going for? I've decided that Graphic Design will be my focus. So we'll see where it takes me.
Today I wanted to show you a page I made a couple days ago while scrapping with some friends. We spent the day talking up a storm (well, I didn't talk too much, I needed to work!) and eating yummy food! I made 12 layouts and here is one of them for Lydia's album:
I've used the new flower fusion felt flowers here with some thickers for the title. Super easy! Enjoy!
Hello! Can you believe it's June? It sure doesn't feel like it here. We've had rain, rain and more rain on the way. It looks like another week of rain ahead of us. It's just been the craziest spring for weather.
Here's a simple & quick page I made this morning! I used the Rose Cottage SS kit, along with letters from my Plantin Schoolbook Cricut cartridge.

Here's what's on my desktop this month. I've added pictures of my girls in the circles. It's a .png file so make sure you have a program that can open those files. You can click on the image above to take you to the website to download it! Isn't it fun?!
Have a great day & enjoy!!

Hi everyone! Thanks again for playing along with my blog candy! Congratulations to Cynthia, lucky girl!
Here's a page I made today with the little spare time I had. It uses papers & die cuts from the Special Delivery Girl SS kit. The title was cut with my Cricut.
Have a great evening everyone!
Wow, I got real creative with that title, huh?
We had a great weekend with lots and lots of candy, food and wild kids! It's amazing how sugar reacts to little ones...it only takes about 15 minutes for it to kick in and then it's all chaos :)
Here's Lydia's one month page for her baby book. I always take a picture on her birth date each month and do a single page layout for every month.
Here I've used Blush Blossom Textured card stock and all MM's patterned paper from the Garden Party collection. The chipboard flowers are also from MM's. The small flower is colored with Blush Blossom craft ink. I also used a Soft Sky Carousel Note for the large circle. The title was cut with my Cricut (plantin schoolbook, my fav!)
Have a great day! I'm still thinking about what I should do for blog candy...I'll be back later to post that!
Here's a simple, simple, simple layout of my little pumpkin when she was 6 weeks old...that was 6 weeks ago! Time flies like crazy!!
Hey there!
I hope everyone had a great weekend! Mine was great, other than for the super duper cold weather. We had -40 wind chills! and unfortunately we did have to get out and go a few places this weekend. I would rather have stayed home. But it's better today, not as windy.
Here's another page I made with the Crew Kids Girl Kit and I took inspiration from Kristina Werner's card Love her work!
Sorry for the glare on the pictures of my layout. I didn't realize there was any when I took the picture until I got it on the computer.
Supplies:
Crew Kids (girl) SS Kit, Wide pink grosgrain ribbon from Fairy Tales Ribbon originals.
Have a good evening everyone. I'll be back tomorrow!
Well I didn't get as many projects done today as I planned, but I did make one card & this scrapbook page. But that's ok...at least I made something!
I got my layout inspiration from fiskars sketch of the month. Just switched up a bit.
I made my page title and quote in Word. I still feel like it's missing something...like under the title? I'll probably add a little journaling there. Otherwise I'm happy with it. It was an easy peasy page!
Recipe:
Stamps: Tagger's Dozen
Paper: textured Pomegranate, pretty in pink, basic black, ww
Ink: Purely Pomegranate
Accessories: Scallop circle punch, 1 3/8" circle punch, Rhinestone brads, Heidi Swapp Ghost hearts, ribbon from sherbet originals, black grosgrain, pomegranate grosgrain, dimensionals.
Thanks for checking in! Have a good evening!
I mentioned the Crew Kids Girl SS kit in the previous post, and after I posted, I was itching to make a layout with it. Here's my version of Valerie's Sketch. I love sketches because the first step is already done for me. All I have to do is follow it with my pictures and papers and VOILA! It's done in no time!!
Our blizzard from yesterday made quite a mess around here. We have huge drifts in our yard, and a neighbor got stuck in one right by our house this morning. Glad I don't have to get out with the girls today!
Recipe:
Papers: Basic Black 12x12, Regal Rose, Crew Kids Girl Designer papers
Accessories: Love & Happiness (SAB) Rub-ons, adhesive die cuts from crew kids SS Kit.
