October SSIB Reveal – Football and Pocket Page Layouts

Hi everyone – welcome to Lyne’s October reveal.  I was blessed to be inspired by both of our photos this month.  The first photo reminded me of Thanksgiving/Fall.  
Every Thanksgiving our local high school football team (where I attended) plays a game against the team across the river (where my husband attended).  We go every year Thanksgiving morning and these photos are from the first year we took our son.  He was a year old here.  We wanted to take him from the time he was born, but he was five days old and it was snowing the first year…not a good combo.  I don’t know why the bottom comes across cream.  The whole page is white, but in every photo I took it came out cream 🙁  I used a sketch from Queen & Co. to get me started on this layout.  
Challenge:
Paper Issues – Fall
The second photo had several different blocks to choose inspiration from.  
 The blocks inspired me to try a pocket page.   I used cards from Fancy Pants Be Different collection to make a page about our son getting all his baby curls cut off.  This is my first time photographing a pocket page, and boy was the glare awful…haha.  I also have to dig out the exact date to fill in the right pocket card.


Thanks for joining us and can’t wait to see what you create!

September SSIB Layouts

     Dropping in with a really quick post showing what I completed with the inspiration photos from ScrapStuffz Inspired By.  This month we had two awesome inspiration photos to work with.  

Inspiration one:






     
     The office supplies reminded me of back to school.  This inspired me to scrap our son’s pre-school picture. I used Authentique’s Accomplished collection as I felt the black, white and craft would balance the loud, busy background of the photo.


Inspiration Two:







     
     The ferris wheel photo inspired me to scrap pictures from when we went to the Clearfield County Fair with my Brother, SIL and Nephew. I used a star cut file from the Silhouette store and an Echo Park boy collection, but the name escapes me at the moment. I stitched on my layout for the first time and while I like the effect I had trouble keeping the sew easy tool straight.

    I hope one of the photos inspires you to come and join us.  I’d love to see what you create.  Even if you don’t get to the challenge leave me a comment with how this inspires you and I’ll be sure to come visit.  Until next time…Keep Scrapping!

Challenges:

Chid’s Play Challenge – Cat In The Hat

Welcome to another fun reveal for Child’s Play Challenge.  We were asked this time to create layouts with the book Cat In The Hat as inspiration.
     We don’t read a lot of Dr. Suess around here for some reason so it took me a while to find my inspiration.  It was only after I realized the my nephew A’s favorite movie was The Lorax that it came together for me.  After that this layout only took about an hour to complete.
     I used the Hey Baby collection by Simple Stories for all the paper since they matched A’s shirt so well, but kept the look soft.
     The layout of the photo and embellishments was inspired by one of Stacia Brandt’s Queen & Co guest layouts.  She used circles, but otherwise the placement is very similar.
     I love how this came out and I placed it in a memory tray for my SIL to hang in her office.  I hope she love it too.  Come over and join our challenge with how this theme inspires you.  Until next…Keep Scrapping!
