Joy

It's been a long time since I've posted anything to my blog. It's been nearly a month since I had a chance to scrap. The life of a teacher in December is very busy! But, it's finally break time, and now I get to scrap. Yay! 

These layouts were done for a friend. The two girls are her granddaughters, Ella and Finley. She had their pictures taken for Christmas and they turned out beautifully. They needed to be scrapped. The layouts will be gifts for her daughter for Christmas. How fun!

I used to same sketch from Let's Capture Our Memories for both layouts. I just turned one over so they would make beautiful wall hangings. 

I used my December kit from Noel Mignon for these layouts. I love Christmas papers!!

The gold accents worked beautifully with the pictures. 

Gold and red, sunsets and kids. How can you go wrong?

The gold ribbon is sparkly. I added some Mr. Huey's gold spray as well. The shimmer makes me happy.

The red letters a have been in my stash for awhile now. I was waiting for the perfect pages to use them. I adore them on these pages!

Thanks for taking a look at my latest layouts. Please let me know your thoughts. Happy scrapping!

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!
