You Are Loved

I've had this picture of one of my best friends and her dad just laying around for a long time. I wanted to create a page for her as a Christmas gift. I still haven't had a chance to give it to her, so I hope she likes it!

I used a sketch from Let's Get Sketchy for this page. I used various items from my stash, and just kind of put it together as I went. I did discover that I don't have a lot of purple in my stash. I think I need to fix that!

I wanted to play off of the purple rose in her dad's pocket. This picture was from his wedding, so I know it will be special to her. I found this vintage wood rose. It's perfect! I used gold throughout the page after finding this rose. I also found some resin roses in my stash. Perfect!

For the title I used some gold foil words from a random embellishment pack that I had. I found the gold enamel arrows to add needed detail. I used purple Heidi Swapp Color Shine for the large ink splats.

The thread behind the page is just simple sewing thread that I bundled up and stuffed behind the picture. After playing with it a bit I liked how it turned out. I added more resin roses around the picture.

I hope you enjoyed looking at my layout. Please leave me your thoughts. Thanks!

Sweet Baby Boy

I'm still working my way through my son's first year of photos. Not surprisingly, we took a lot that year! I'm loving the job. 

I used Simple Stories' Life Documented collection for this layout. I needed good "boy" colors, which I don't have a lot of. I loved this blue striped paper as soon as I saw it.

For this layout I used a sketch from Let's Get Sketchy. It was simple, but had lots of potential. 

I used some of the chipboard from the kit to help draw the eye to the picture of my adorable son. 

See, isn't he just cute? I used my old Creative Memories circle cutter to cut out this ring quickly. I accented it with simple doodlings with a black pen. I used enamel dots and some clear stickers from the Life Documented line to embellish the layout.

I've had this Thicker pack in my collection for awhile. I wanted something simple and brown, and this fit perfect. It helped to create this adorable layout.

Thank you for taking a look at my layout. Please leave me a message and let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

Love This

Well, I had a small break in scrapping due to some flooding in our town and our house, but, all is well (or on their way to being well), and it's good to be thinking of scrapping and not house repairs. 

I'm still working on using up the "Hey Girl" Kit from Noel Mignon. I'm loving the colors, and gold is quickly becoming a favorite accent. This is my latest creation:

My daughter is beautiful! Luckily she's just as beautiful inside. I love my girl! This scrunchy-nose look is common for her. I know that she's laughing inside when I see that look on her face. I love it!

I used a lot of gold on this page. I love the way it shines.

I used some DearLizzy watercolor words for the title. I colored them with Mr. Huey's Color Mist in Gold. I also dropped some of the mist on the page and smacked it on the table to make the drops drip nicely.

More gold accents. Lots of fun!

This little cluster of embellishments was fun to put together. I used more Dear a Lizzy watercolor words for the XOXo. I also used Rubens, enamel dots, felt flowers, a glitter frame, and some adorable Washi tape. So many goodies!

I used a sketch from Let's a Get Sketchy for this layouts I really liked working with it.

I am also using this layout for the January challenge at Red Carpet Studio . The challenge was to use items in twos. To meet this challenge I used two photos, two word phrases (Love This and XOXO), and two felt hearts.

Thank you for taking the time to check out my layout. Please leave me a comment, and join my blog to see more of my work.

Making Memories

I've been working my way through my older Christmas photos. This set of pictures are from our annual Christmas tree decorating in 2011.

I used my Noel Mignon Cable Knit kit for this layout. I love the non traditional colors. I used the Week 4 sketch from Let's Get Sketchy for this layout.

I've only recently started using gold in my layouts instead of silver. I like the way it accents the Christmas papers.

I added the gold star sequins to go with the tree topper.

This word is made from chipboard. I inked it with gold ink, then used a Versa Mark stamp before applying extra thick embossing powder. I love the way it turned out!

Please let me know your thoughts on my layout. Happy Holidays!

Christmas Elf

I have been waiting to reveal this layout for about a month. I love this layout! It makes me happy just looking at it. Let's Get Sketchy had a challenge for layouts to be included in a special holiday edition of their digital inspiration page called Get Inspired and mine was chosen to be included! What an honor.

I used Teresa Collins' Candy Cane Lane collection for this layout. I love everything Christmas, and I really love this collection!

Here was the original sketch. Isn't it great? I love Laura Whitaker's work.

These Thickers are yummy! They didn't come with the collection, but I had to use them! I used paint to create the circles in the background. I rimmed the edge of a cup and stamped the paint on the background. I really liked when it splattered on the page.

I used two pictures and cute them down so they only focused on my little elf. I love his sweet little face!

I used sequins and snowflake sequins to embellish thus layout. They made it so much fun!

Thank you for checking out my page. Don't forget to visit Let's Get Sketchy to see all the inspiration. Happy Holidays!

Meeting Baby Emily

Good evening everyone! Today I'm still on vacation, but that doesn't stop me from scrapbooking. I just bring my basic supplies and use my evening times to get crafty. Always fun! 

For this layout I used a sketch from Let's Get Sketchy. Their sketches are so much fun to work with. I also used my new kit from Noel Mignon. I love the bright summer colors!

These little felt flowers are lots of fun! So cute and girly.

It's rare that I get pictures of my sister and I together. Her daughters are just adorable!

These little bits of embellishments make me happy.

Thank you so much for taking a look at my layout. Please leave a comment to let me know your thoughts.
