Instasweet | Stuck ? Sketches | Simple Stories

     Hey Scrappy Friends!  Back today working with a new collection in my stash buster challenge.  Today I’m working with the Simple Stories Hello Baby collection.  I received a friends remainder of this kit.  She had already made a mini album out of this.  I used her bits and pieces to made two layouts (one already shared here) and a mini album that I’ll share later via video. 
     My inspiration for this layout came from the July 15th sketch over at Stuck?Sketches.  The doily is from the dollar store and I used a scallop punch on the border on the right side. The words cute, love and cupcake were all fussy cute from 2×2 snap squares.  I chose the cupcake as an embellishment because J’s dress has a cupcake on it.  
   This one came together very quickly and I LOVE how it turned out.  Have you been doing any scrapping this summer?  Leave me a comment and I’ll drop by to see your creation too.  Until next time…stay crafty!

An Adorable Welcome Home Puppy One Page Layout

     Hey Scrappy Friends!  I’m back with another process video today.  This time I was inspired by the sketch and word from May 15th at Scrap Our Stash.  Wish I had gotten this one recorded, and edited, in time to enter the challenge.
     With the sketch you had to use the word mother, and use one item for each letter.  Mine are M – My Mind Eye Paper, O – Ornamental Shape Stickers, T – The Best Glue Ever for my enamel dots and woods pieces, H – Hearts and Home, E – Echo Park Paper, R – Red to match the new puppy.
     To hear all about my thought process when creating this please head over to my youtube channel to check out the process video.  Thanks for checking my creations out!

Hello World

I’m up today with another Scrapbook Challenges layout, but it includes several firsts.  It’s Julia’s blog debut first and foremost.  She was only about two hours old in these photos!  They are my Mom, Dad, Sister, Brother-In-Law and our son meeting her.
The second first is that this is my first scraptastic layout.  When I saw their Drops of Jupiter kit in March and then Eloise in April I knew I had to sign up.  Everything on the layout, except for the pink background and the wood veneer hearts came from the kit.  I love how it all worked together.

Come back next week for a layout showcasing Julia’s newborn photo shoot pictures.  I LOVE how it came out.
