Happy Girls are the Prettiest

I admit it...I think my daughter is beautiful! I'm not sure exactly where she got all that beauty, but she has it in spades. I just couldn't resist scrapping this picture of her with her gorgeous smile.


I used Teresa Collin's Urban Market line for this layout. I love the colors! I also used a sketch from Stuck?! Sketches, but I turned it sideways so I could use this picture effectively.


I used two different Thickers for this big title.


I really like the colors in this line. They complimented the picture of my daughter nicely.


I adore using multiple patterns together!

I hope you enjoyed my LO. Please leave me some blog love and let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

Love Your Smile

My granddaughter's smile makes me so happy! I absolutely love these pictures.


I used my Noel Mignon kit, Tea for Two, to create this LO. I'm not normally a gold person, but I loved the gold for this project. I also used a sketch from Stuck?! Sketches .


I cut these little butterflies with a punch out of one of th papers in the kit. I pop dotted the wings to give them some depth. I love these big sequins! They add just the right touch.


I also added some cork butterflies to go with the gold ones.


I used Straw colored Stickles to create the circle behind the photos. The words Love and Smile were corrugated paper. I stamped them with a Versamark stamp and sprinkled them with Ranger Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel. After melting it with my heat gun it gave the words a nice thick gloss, and deepened the color.

I hope you enjoyed my LO. Please leave me some blog love and let me know your thoughts.

Sweet Perfection

I adore my granddaughter! She's just adorable. This is a picture from earlier in the year, so of course she's much bigger now, but she's still adorable.


I created this LO using Noel Mignon's Two for Tea kit, along with some other things in my stash.


This sweet little face gives me such inspiration. This picture had to have soft, girly colors. I used the teal and pink from the photo and added splashes of it over the LO. These Queen & Company felt flowers were too cute not to use them.


I recently bought some silver Mr. Huey's mist. I used it to spray the doily and spray around the background. I'm loving it! I added bits of silver with this metal heart and some My Mind's Eye rub-ons. This Jillibean title card has been in my stash for awhile.

I used a sketch from ScrapMuch? To create this LO. I love all the opportunities for layers!

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


Oh Christmas Tree

Welcome to the holiday season! I love scrapping Christmas pictures. I recently got Teresa Collins Candy Cane Lane kit and I just couldn't wait to use it; it's so much fun!


I used a lot of patterned papers on this LO, but they are in small bits, so it wasn't overwhelming. 

I created this LO with a Challenge #13 from Scrap and Play Challenges in mind. The challenge was to create a LO using things in your LO to represent the word THANKFUL. Here is how mine breaks down:

T - Thread, Trees, Teresa Collins
H - Happy Smiles
A - Alphas (multiple)
N - Night time photos
K - Kraft (with snowflakes)
F - Flair, Flags, Flakes
U - Uppercase Letters
L - Layers, Lawn Fawn


I layers this photo with patterned paper so it would stand out a bit. I also added stitching and sequins near it. These snowflake sequins are adorable! 


Banners and flags make me happy! Add flair and sequins....love!


Thickers are awesome! These glitter ones make me giddy. And the corrugated ones were perfect for the word tree.


See all these patterned papers? So much fun! I stitched over the top and added sequins.


I've had this tree rub-on in my stash for years. I love how it worked with the LO!

I hope you enjoyed my LO. Please leave me some blog love and let me know your thoughts. Happy Holidays!

Happy Halloween Matey

I had a blast creating this layout! I haven't done many two-pagers lately, but I didn't want to squeeze these pictures onto just one. I made this page to submit to Scrapbook Generations for Issue 10 of their online magazine, Create


I've had this laser cut spiderweb from Quick Quotes for over a year. When I started putting this page together I knew I had to use it. I cut the bottom off of it to add part of it to the other page. 


I added stitching, doodles, ink and sequins to this layout. Lots of fun!


This Halloween paper had been in my stash for years. I was thrilled to finally use it!


I love this picture of my son in his costume! It's one of my favorites.


I adore a Thickers! I'm a bit of an alpha freak. I was able to use two different types on this page. 

Thanks for looking over my layout. Please let me know your thoughts. Happy Halloween!

Knights in Cloth Armor

It's fall again, which means it's time for Halloween pictures. I love that my son still wants to dress up. He was a knight a few years in a row, but he loved it so much that it made me smile. My wonderful husband had an awesome knight costume too, so my boys got to be knights together.


I used Echo Park's Arsenic and Lace line to do this layout. I love the papers! I used Sketch 415 from Scrapbook Challenges, but I turned it in its side. I love having the ability to play with sketches.


I used the embellishments that came with the kit to add depth to the page. I also used three different types of Thickers. I'm an alpha nut!


You just hav to love the that grin!


I added sequins to the page to add bling, but not let it be too 'girly'. 

Thank you for taking a look at my page. Please let me know your thoughts if you can. Happy Halloween!

#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.
