Crushing

My beautiful daughter and her husband take many selfies. I love when I get a copy of them. They are just adorable! This one made me happy and I knew I wanted to scrap it.

I created this layout for a challenge from ScrapMuch?. Laura Whitaker is one of my favorite sketch designers. She always gives great guidelines, but still allows freedom to add more details.

I also created this layout for the November 15th Picture This! Challenge. The challenge was to use 1 picture + card stock + gold. This layout is perfect for the challenge!

I used papers from the Amy Tangerine Plus One line. I started out with the layout being black and yellow, but then I put the orange with it and the whole thing changed. I love the way it turned out! For this page I used two different Quick Quotes chalk inks - Rusty Nail and Coal Miner. I love their ink!

I used a black Zig Memory Writer to doodle stitch marks on the black and white paper. It added just a bit to the layout.

I had these cute gold Heidi Swapp words and stars in my stash. I love how they worked with the layout. I also sprayed the camera paper with Gold Heidi Swapp Color Shine.

This tag is from the Amy Tangerine line as well. Too cute! The kraft tag is a sticker from the same line. I used it to add the date of the picture. These stars are so adorable!

Thank you for taking a look at my layout. Please leave me some blog love and let me know your thoughts.

**Thank you Scrap Much? for featuring my layout on December 3rd. I'm honored!!

#Love

My daughter loved my camera. She took more selfies than anyone I've ever known. I secretly loved coming home and finding more pictures on my camera. This picture she edited and made some black and white. I decided to use both for this layout. I love that the papers compliment the photos so well.

I used a sketch from Scrap365 to create this layout. I love simple sketches that allow you to add more as you go.

I like printing my journaling and cutting it in strips. It adds fun character to the layout. When I saw this photo paper I knew I had to use it!

The paper is from Amy Tangerine's Plus One line. It looks like I put a lot of work in painting it, but it came that way. It also already had "love" written on then paper. It added a # symbol and added Stickles to the love to make it stand out.

I decided to add this little frame for more pop. The little heart and flair are just happy pieces. I also doodled on the page for extra oomph.

Thanks for looking over my layout, I hope you enjoyed it. Please let me know your thoughts. 

Mommy & Me

I've been running behind on my Lasting Memories DT duties. The end of the school year is always a little crazy for a teacher. So, now I'm working on catching up. This challenge was due on the 15th, so I'm not doing too bad. :)

The challenge was to use Selfies of yourself or someone else on your layout. About the only selfies I take are with my son. He always makes me laugh. I love building these memories with him. I also love that I will always be in our family scrapbook albums with him.

I used my latest kit from Noel Mignon for this layout. The bright colors make me happy and seemed appropriate for this picture. All of the papers are from Amy Tangerine's Plus One line. The "Mommy & Me" wood veneer was something I picked up at Michael's craft store. It worked perfect for this LO.

I'm learning to like my handwriting on my LOs. I know it's special when I find things with my mom's  and grandma's handwriting, so I'm trying to keep that in mind for my kids for the future. 

The little hearts were just something I had in my stash, as well as the enamel dots.

I used sketch #271 from Creative Scrappers for this layout as well.

Head on over to Lasting Memories to take on this challenge and all the rest of June's challenges. We'd love to see your creations!
