My Love

I don't often get to take a good picture of my wonderful husband, Troy, so when I do, I make sure to scrap it. 

I used a sketch from Stick It Down. I loved the simplicity of it, and the straight lines. I really like straight lines! 

I also used a challenge from Paper Issues FB Group. The challenge was a Pinspire me board. 

I played off of the reds, blacks and whites, and the boxes that created the picture collage. 

And last, I used this page for a challenge from SG Scrap Squad. It was called the "All I Want to Do is Scrapbook" challenge; use any theme, size, colors. Easy!

I used red glitter Thickers for the title of this layout. I love the deep red color! I framed the picture of my husband with white cardstock, and inked the edges with red Quick Quotes chalk ink. I used the same ink to edge most of the papers on the page.

I love using my white Quick Quotes chalk ink! Every time I use black paper that ink comes out. I also used my white Signo pen to add some journaling to the bottom of my page.

I was able to use four different patterned paper on my page. I love this simple layout that says so much.

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

Sweet Miss Meila

Pictures of my sweet granddaughter are some of my favorite things to scrapbook. How adorable is this little girl? I just can't resist her!

I used bits and pieces from past Noel Mignon kits for this layout. I picked the papers and colors to match Meila's outfit in the picture. Pink and Black together are so much fun! I created this page for a challenge on a FB group SG Scrap Squad. The challenge was to scraplift a beautiful layout by another talented scrapbooker. I loved her layout and this is what I made from her inspiration.

I could not resist pairing silver with all this pink and black. This bow has been calling to me for a long time, and it was finally time to use it! I paired it with other silver accents throughout the page, including this adorable little heart stickers.

I also used silver Thickers for the title. Silver is my favorite metallic color, so I was happy to get to play with it. I love using mist on my pages. I've just started being brave enough to put large drops on my page. I like how the white Dyllusions Color Mist contrasted with the black cardstock. In this picture you can see some of the luscious layers of patterned paper that I used. It was so much fun to put them all together. I try to doodle on my pages, and on this page I used black, white, and pink pens.

These little silver heart stickers were too adorable to pass up! I also used enamel dots and hearts to round out the embellishments.

I found this little silver heart clip in my stash and just threw it on the corner of the picture. Such a good detail to add! I also used a piece of flair that I found in my ever growing flair collection.

I hope you enjoyed looking at my layout as much as I enjoyed creating it. Please leave me your thoughts, and join my blog if you can. Thank you!

Summer Was Made 4 Friends

Good evening everyone. I'm bringing you another LO done using a picture from last summer. I love the colors in this LO!

This is a picture of my son (in the knight costume) sitting on the couch, goofing around with some friends; a family of four kids. William's only sibling is 11 years older than he is, so he's pretty much an only child. When he gets the chance to play with so many friends at once he's always happy. We love having them over to play. 

I'm using this LO as my entry to Lasting Memories Lifes Moments challenge. I used a sketch from My Create Sketches to create this LO. 

Don't those looks like happy kids? I love it! 

I love the way the bright colors stood out on the black background. I love sequins, and I think they added just the right amount of shine to this layout. I also love using white pens to doodle on dark papers. So much happy!

The title was created with three different alphas. I decided to use the number 4 instead of the word 'for' because my son had 4 friends over. Just a little play on words. I did my journaling in white pen to make it pop as well.

Please let me know your thoughts, and take the time to follow my blog if possible. Thank you!
