New Let's Scrap Sketch - Love the Banner!

Hi!  Just a quick post to let you know a new sketch is up over at Let's Scrap!  It's a very fun double-page layout with a cool banner across the top!  These are so popular right now and I was excited to see this sketch!  I've completed one layout with some beach photos and am already working on another with some Disney photos.  So many possibilities with this sketch.  Here it is:

And here is my take on this sketch:

Here's a closeup of my banner:

I'll include my supply list later - I am just too pooped to figure it all out!  I was happy to use up some old stash though - always a great feeling!  :)

And I just have to include two more pictures.  Every year we have doves build a nest on our front porch.  Well, I was fortunate enough to catch these photos.  

Here are mom and dad perched on our fence:

And here are the baby doves in their nest:

Isn't that the sweetest?!

Ok, off to read and then get to sleep.  Maybe I'll get some scrapping done tomorrow!

:)  Thanks for stopping by!  

Good Times

I've been wanting to scrap these photos for a while now from our beach trip!  The boys decided to dig a huge hole in the sand and then try to jump over it!  Love these action shots!  I searched through the Let's Scrap sketches and found one that was just perfect!  I still might go back and add journaling at the bottom - not sure yet - but here it is for now!

Supplies Used:

Patterned Paper:  K & Company (polka dot); Dream Street Papers (striped & blue pattern)

Cardstock:  DCWV (brown)

Ribbon:  TLC

Chipboard:  Bo Bunny

Title:  Cricut-Lyrical Letters

Bead Border:  Quickutz Die/Big Shot

Brads/Anchors:  CTMH

Thanks for visiting!  Hoping to get some more layouts done this week.  Too bad this job-thing cuts into my scrapping time!  hee hee.

Happy Scrapping!

Spring Break Scrapping

Spring Break is here and I wish I could slow this week down!  I love having the week off and being home with my boys.  (Even though I'm slowly accepting the fact that they'd rather be with their friends than their mom....)  It is so nice not to wake up to an alarm clock, to hear the birds chirping every morning, to feel the sunshine on my skin, and hear the laughter of my boys!  I am so ready to be a stay-at-home mom again!!

I've done a lot of spring cleaning the last two days and it is so nice to have a clean home!  I always feel happier when my house is clean and de-cluttered.  I did squeeze in some scrapping time yesterday and plan on doing much more of that as the week goes on!

Here's a 2-page layout I did based on another sketch over at Let's Scrap.  I loved using this sketch for so many reasons - it was quick to complete, I only used about 4 sheets of paper (with some striped paper and cardstock leftover for cards), and I was able to get a lot of photos on my page.  I also tried a new (to me) technique where I brushed white paint around the edges of some of the photos and cardstock.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  DCWV, Breezy Designs

Patterned Paper:  TLC

Title & Embellishments:  K & Company

Brads:  The Paper Studio

Paint:  Delta

Ribbon:  Michael's and Breezy Designs

Finally, here's a picture of my sweet Marley Mae.  (Why do I always give my dogs middle names?!)  It's been so nice and sunny this week they're spending lots of time outside!

Happy Scrapping!
