Love Our Family

It's been a long time since I created a double-page layout. I always take so many pictures at the pumpkin patch that it's much easier to fit them in double-page layouts.

I created this layout for a challenge on the FB group SG Scrap Squad. It was fun to play with the sketch they supplied.

I used two types of alphas for the title. I especially love the gold letters. I typed my journaling on my computer and cut it into strips. I really like adding my journaling to pages this way.

I used my Cricut to cut out these leaves. I used a gold Signo Ball pen to draw the veins in them. Adding enamel dots made the leaves stand out even more.

The colors in this layout make me very happy. Anything having to do with fall makes me happy. I love the golds, greens, oranges and browns. Lots of fun!

I used my gold Signo pen to add embellishments to the page. The pen creates great accents.

Thank you for looking at my page. I appreciate your time!

Merry Christmas

I'm finally getting around to scrapping some old Christmas pictures. Maybe next year I'll get this year done. Maybe. I love scrapbooking Christmas, but I take so many pictures that sometimes it's difficult to just scrap a few. I usually scrap the best shots, and then use pocket pages for the rest. I love these two pictures!

I used a sketch from Stuck?! Sketches for this layout. I love Laura Whitaker's sketches. I turned the sketch on it's side and played around with the layout just a bit. I also used this layout for a challenge from a Facebook page called My Scraps & More Challenges and Contests. The challenge was to use something shiny. The red stars on the star paper shine.

I love this little chipboard Santa. He needed to be on this page. I used lots of layers and embellishments to add detail to the layout; chipboard, Thickers, sequins, enamel dots, tags, Color Shine, flare...it's all here!

I used two different alphas for this title. I love to use as many alphas as possible. I also typed my journaling and cut it into strips. It adds to the layout this way. 

I inked the edges of my papers in red and green inks. I used a bright red Uniball pen to doodle around the edges. The spray on the page is Heidi Swapp Color Shine.

I hope you enjoyed my layout. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

Christmas Traditions

I'm loving scrapping my old Christmas pictures. It gets me in the holiday spirit.

I used a Laura Whitaker sketch from Scrap Much?. I haven't done a two-page layout in awhile, but I alays have so many picture from Christmas that I had plenty for this page.

I love doodling on my pages. I used a Brick color pen from recollections. I use some flair, buttons, and chipboard to make this little embellishment cluster.

My Noel Mignon Kit came with som cute rub-ons. I used one on this picture of my husband and son hugging our tree. I addd more buttons, chipboard and enamel dots.

I adore alphas! These white glitter ones make me giddy! I used my red gelato to add a hint of red to the white card stock.

I created this little cluster of embellishments to cover a journaling error. There's always a way to fix problems. 

I love this white, glittery twine and was happy to be able to use it in this page set.

I hope you enjoyed my layout. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

Merry Christmas

I love Christmas! It means family time, which means more to me than anything. Last year was my granddaughter's first Christmas which made it that much more precious. I was thrilled to get this family photo and excited to scrap it.

I used sketch #421 from Scrapbook Challenges for this layout.

I love my kids! I also love my son in law and granddaughter. It's awesome to be able to get them all in one LO.

These shiny Thickers make me happy!

I used my Cable Knit kit from Noel ?Mignon for this page. I love the colors!

Thanks for looking over my layout. Please let me know your thoughts. Merry Christmas!
