Here's a quick card I made last weekend for the Let's Scrap Card sketch! 

I used a flower punch from EK Success.  All other supplies are from Close to My Heart.

Now, who should I send it to?! 

School Layout for Let's Scrap Sketch

Are you behind on your scrapbooking?  I am.... and I tend to jump around and scrap whatever I'm in the mood to do.  I don't really scrap in chronological order anymore.  But, I am really trying to keep up with the boys' school scrapbooks.  I was so excited when I saw Cheri's double page sketch at Let's Scrap that had a place for a large photo.  (See her sketch here.)  I knew it would be just perfect for Carter's 1st grade class photo. 

Here is my take on the sketch: 

 

I was really happy with how this double-page layout turned out.  Almost all products were from Imaginisce - it was such a fun line to work with.  Isn't that little felt apple the cutest?  I've had that cork tag from Creative Imaginations for a long time.  I added some stickers from Karen Foster Designs, a brad and ribbon from Imaginisce, and used it as my title!
Now.... I need to get Evan's school pictures from last year done!!  :)

Thanks for looking and have a great week!

Creative Scrappers Nook Reveal

I did a layout last weekend of my 3 most favorite people in the world!!  I did this sketch based on a layout over at Creative Scrappers.  You can find the sketch here.  I was anxious to use my new Scrapbook Pad from We R Memory Keepers.  This is from the "Grandma's Kitchen" line.  It comes with tons of paper, chipboard letters, and embellishments.  And the best part - I used my Michael's coupon!  :)  I originally bought this paper to scrap some photos of my sweet 89 yo Grandma - but I thought it worked good with this photo and title as well! 

Supplies Used:

Patterned Paper, Chipboard Letters & Heart Die Cut:  We R Memory Keepers

Cardstock (blue):  Cloud 9

Stamps:  Technique Tuesday (Ali Edwards' Loving Words) & CTMH (Notice the Details for date)

Ink:  CTMH (Autumn Terracotta)

Swirl Embellishment:  CTMH
Border Punch:  Fiskars

Letters:  Cricut (Alphalicious)

Thanks for stopping by!!

Baby Face

Here is another 2-page layout I did based on a sketch over at Let's Scrap.  It took me awhile to decide if I had enough small photos to work with this sketch.  Then, I had that "ah-ha" moment and pulled out Carter's baby pictures that have been sitting around for years.  This sketch was just perfect for them!  I'm hoping to use this sketch again for some photos of our trip to Hilton Head last summer!  Here's my take on this sketch and Carter's sweet little baby face.....

Supplies Used:

Cardstock, Patterned Paper & Chipboard:  TLC/Breezy Designs

Ink & Silver Charm:  CTMH

Die Cut Letters:  Cricut-Lyrical Letters Cartridge

Floss:  DMC

Other:  Ribbon, buttons

I have had this baby kit for such a long time so it was good to use some of my stash!  Looking back at the left hand side, I wish I had black & white or sepia toned photos - but..... it will have to do!  I'm just excited to get some more of his baby pictures scrapped!!

Looking forward to playing in my Scrap Room more this weekend!

Happy Scrapping!
