New Layout - Merry Christmas

Yep, still me!  I told you that I have completed a lot of layouts recently.  I hope you've had a chance to be as scrappy as me.  This is another Christmas photo layout from this past year. No, I am by no means caught up - just cant resist these photos.

I played along with Paper Issues - January Monochromatic Fanatic challenge.  This challenge is to use a monochromatic layout and minimize colors.  I used all grays, whites, and silver with a tiny pop of gold for my layout.

I used all Close to my Heart materials.  Thanks for visiting!

New Layout - XMas Card 2019

Hi ya! I finished this layout using photos from this Christmas photo shoot and included our Christmas card.  It has hinges, so we can flip it open and see the other side.

I played along with Paper Issues - January Snow White challenge.  This challenge is to use snow photos, winter photos or start with white background.  I used winter Christmas photos and of course, a white background.

I used materials from Close to my Heart to create this page.

New Layout - Easter Egg Hunt

Still trying to catch up posting all of my recent pages, bare with me. This layout is from Easter 2016, both dyeing Easter eggs and then hunting them!

I played along with Paper Issues - January Go Go Gadget Gals challenge. The challenge was to use some sort of gadget in your scrap room.  I used my old crimper - do you still have one of those? I also used lots of different inks and stencils.

This layout was a from gototreasurebox.com.  I modified it to adjust all those photos. Thanks for visiting!

New Layout - Soccer GG vs Sweet Feet

It's me again! I finished another layout this evening. Yet another soccer layout - soccer season is a busy photograph season.

I played along with Paper Issues - January Let's Go to the Moo-Vies. This challenge was to create a layout about the Movies, cows, or the colors black and white. My layout uses black and white. I used EZ Laser Design cuts to create my page.

New Layout - GG Versus Snowflakes - Soccer

Happy New Year! I've been crazy busy with the holidays, work, family and now Girl Scout Cookie Season; but I have been able to do a little bit of crafting in the past couple of weeks!  This layout is of DD back in 2016 on the soccer field.

I played along with Paper Issues - January Keep it Sketchy.  Here is the sketch. I, of course, added a lot more photos; but the sketch got me started.  Have a wonderful weekend!

New Layout - A Day at the Aquarium

Happy Thursday, the week is almost over - WHEW, this was a long one! I'm anxious for the weekend to begin, I've got lots of party planning to do.  I wanted to share a quick layout I finished today on the Aquarium visit we made to the Tulsa Aquarium a couple of years ago. 

For the left side of the layout I played along with Paper Issues August challenge Take 5. I used card stock, the color aqua, 3 photos, stripes, and stickers. Here is the complete Take 5 challenge list:

I used a page kit from Embellish It! and tweaked it to fit my photos. I hope you have an easy breezy Friday! Thanks for visiting! 

I'm a Winner - Over at More Than Words

Yeah!  I'm doing my happy dance. I am a Mystery Winner over at More than Words for their July Main Challenge. Here's my layout and what they said:

We don't see them often, but we adore double page spreads! This double layout from Jessica seemed to be the perfect interpretation of our challenge. What better place to DISCOVER new things than at the museum?! And Jessica was able to incorporate even more OLD STASH on her 2-pager.

Guest Designer for PaperGirls Challenge Blog New Layout - Enjoy

Happy Monday to all my crafty friends! I am so excited to be the Guest Designer for August at The Paper Girls Challenge blog. They have such fun monthly challenges! I hope you stop by and join the fun. 

This month I'm sharing my layout for their August challenge - "Vellum." I had to dig through my scraps to find some fun vellum to work with. I managed to include 30 pieces of vellum cuts from Close To My Heart (Calypso Complements) on this layout. I used a glittzy piece of cardstock from Bazzill as my base, Thickers alpha stickers for the year, and mini alphas from BasicGrey. I also included a couple of arrows from Paper Wizard. The vellum pieces offset the photos perfect for a bit of Summer Swimming Popsicle fun!

The sketch I used is from Rochelle Spears Scrappy Friends July sketch challenge; which is over now, but too great of a sketch not to share. I rotated the sketch and used clusters of vellum cuts in lieu of stars.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I'd love you to follow me!

New Layout - Soccer

Happy Sunday! I'm NOT ready for another week and I didn't get near enough crafty time this weekend. I did finish yet another soccer layout to share. 

For the left side I played along with the Sketches in Thyme #383 sketch. Here is the fun sketch:

I also played along with Paper Issues - Hunger Games challenge. This challenge is for favorite foods and games. Soccer is the main sport in our life at the moment and seems to be our weekend calendar during the season.  

I used paper and journaling block from Scrapbook Customs, stamps from Cocoa Daisy, arrow from the Paper Studio, stickers from Heidi Swapp and Park Lane Paperie, twine from The Twinery, and ink from CTMH.

I hope you had a productive weekend and I wish you a wonderful week! Thanks for visiting!
