Soccer Friends

December 4, 2015

Morning Everyone!  In one of Facebook groups our challenge for December was to use a sunburst design, or paper, on your layout.  It’s not something I’d normally use so it was quite a challenge for me.  I actually had to ask a friend how she completed her sunburst.  She used scrap paper to make a template, but with having our son and working I needed something quicker.  I found this you tube tutorial and it was done in no time! 
For my sunburst effect I used the Carta Bella Boy Oh Boy line. I didn’t want to use all patterned paper because it looked so busy.  What I did was take a matching color and emboss and arrow pattern, from Heidi Swapp, in clear powder.  I gave the paper a little something, but not too much.
The background paper is from an old Studio Calico kit.  The title actually came from our son.  As I was working on the page he came over to see how it was going, saw the pictures and said…”Look, my soccer friends.”
Hope you enjoyed the layout, and have a great weekend.

Splash Layout

July 24, 2015

     Welcome back to another Scrapping Our Stash blog hope.  I’m so excited to be participating two months in a row, and honestly my paper just made the qualification since the new releases started coming out last week.

You should have arrived here from Laura’s blog…didn’t she have an awesome project!
     My project was inspired by a Sketch~N~Scrap sketch with the twist of old/vintage photos.  I didn’t have any vintage photos, but the ones I am using are from when our son was about 18 months…he’s now about 4 months away from being five!
     The paper is from Carta Bella’s Soak up the Sun collection.  The green washi has been in my stash for years and the orange is from Freckled Fawn.  I used some modeling paste for the stars and some other random Freckled Fawn embellishments.  
    I know there is a large journalling area on this page, which is not like me, but there was actually a large story I wanted to remember about these photos.  The title is some Doodlebug chipboard letters.  I love them, but they have been sitting in my stash for quite sometime since they are so big.
    You also may have noticed that the upper left corner looks a little wonky. I promise that is not due to a bad photo, but will be part of the memory now.  I was playing catch  with our son with a soft ball in the basement and wouldn’t you know he managed to knock a glass of water all of over my scrap desk!  I thought about re-doing the layout and then thought…nah….I’ll just add some journalling to the back and it will be part of the memory!
  Now I send you off to Audrey’s blog to see what amazing creation she has for us this month.  Until next time…Keep scrapping!

Mr. Smiley Layout

May 10, 2015

     Yup…Back again with another Lasting Memories layout reveal.  This time we were asked to create a layout about someone or something that is beautiful to us.  Since hubby was last time I had to do a layout of our son this time 🙂
    I used a freebie sketch from Scrapbook Generations for this layout since I haven’t done a double pager in forever.  I also did something I don’t normally do on this layout…mixed manufacturers.  The paper is from Carta Bella’s line Boy Oh Boy, the journalling card is from Fancy Pants Be Different, and the two text embellishments are from JilliBean Soup Could as Cucumber Soup.
  The story behind the layout shows exactly our sons personality…see all the smiles in the photos…he had a double ear infection and a 104 degree fever.  Even now, at four, he tries so hard to be smiley all the time no matter what is going on..well unless he’s over tired.  I really hope this continues as he grows up as a positive outlook will help him in life.
   Until next time…Keep Scrapping!

Guy Stuff Layout

January 18, 2015

     Welcome to my second reveal for Lasting Memories. This go-round we were challenged to create a layout about a Life Lesson. 
     I pulled out my Carta Bella Boy Oh Boy goodies and the sketch from ScrapMuch? to get started.  I stuck really close to the sketch except for changing to use three photos instead of two.  I didn’t have the correct red paper to mat my photos, but I had the perfect red washi tape.  I cut mats the size I needed and covered the edges with the tape…worked perfectly!
      The life lesson that I choose to highlight was our son learning some “Guy Stuff.”  My hubby had his tools out to do something around the house right around when our son turned one.  M went right over to the tools and started digging in the box and turning the handles…no one had to tell him it way guy stuff!
     Sorry I’ve been so quiet lately, but we’ve been going through a kitchen re-do and the house looks like a bomb went off!  Leave me a comment if you want to see the new kitchen, and until next time…Keep Scrappin!
