New Layout - Glitter Girls

Happy Sunday! I'm not looking forward to Monday. Lots of errands today and Dallas Children's Theater to see Diary of a Worm, a Spider, and a Fly. Love the Children's Theater. I did manage to squeeze in a layout today. This is of DD U5 Fall Soccer Team, the first season the "Glitter Girls" played together. This was when the girls were just 4 years old and still in preschool. 

I played along with the Southern Girls Challenge to use stripes. Lots of stripes in this one, I even setup the name tags in a stripe configuration. There is the paper stripes, the star stripes, and the stripes in the soccer field.  I also played along with The Studio Challenges to use bows & tassels - ribbon, paper bows, tassels and fringing. I used ribbon bows that I tied to the ribbon strips and little tassel flags out of ribbon on the big photo on the right. 

For this layout I used a paper kit from Crop-a-Latte and added thickers, tags from Park Lane, ink from CTMH and misc. brads from my stash.  I hope you've had a wonderful weekend!  Thanks so much for visiting my little blog. 

New Layout -- Bluebonnets

Wow, the weekend is here again! I didn't get much crafting done this week, back at work and as busy as ever. I did finish up another soccer layout today. This one is from when Maddie was just 4 and part of the Bluebonnets team. She looks so little! I played along with Lasting Memories #452 Everyday Outdoor Activities.  What's more everyday than the constant of soccer games and practices!

Juan was also showing off some fancy footwork! 

I used Stamping Station paper, cricut cartridges Artistry and Street Sign, a soccer title from Paper Wizard, stones from Queen & Co., and my really old Quickutz for the tags and girl labels. I hope you are having a crafty weekend!

Thanks for visiting!

New Layout - Our Team

Happy Monday! I returned to work today, but wanted to share a soccer layout of DD I finished late last night. Hubby has been coaching her team for 8 seasons now. This is the team and individual photos from this season.

For the right side I used Sketches in Thyme #378. I don't usually use single photo sketches, but I think it worked perfect for these photos. Here is the sketch:

I used Stamping Station paper, CTMH stamp and ink, Jolee's stickers, Paper House stickers, Tim Holtz film strip ribbon, and random rub-ons from my stash.

Thanks so much for visiting! 

New Layout - School Rules

It's late, we should all be in bed; but I'm guessing I'm not the only one up still scrapping on a Saturday night! I finished a school layout for DD 1st grade class photo - it was really 3 classes, so I'm not sure why they called it a "class" photo. It took forever to figure out what all those little kids names were. I needed help from both DD and our neighbor. I included her Fall school photos and a smaller previous Spring school photo on the left side.

For this layout I used a Paper Wizard page kit, but mixed it up a little bit to work with my photos. I also added rub-ons from Fancy Pants and Memory Makers, stamps and ink from CTMH and random gems I had in my stash.

I hope you enjoyed, thanks for visiting!

New Layout - Oh Happy Day

One more post for today! There were a couple of challenges I really wanted to play along with, so I did. This layout is of our girls at our annual scrapbook weekend. They love those weekends and are the best of friends, including matching outfits.

First, I played along with CSI Case File No. 287. This one inspired me a lot! I used the color scheme, the "silliness" transparency, embossing paste as my wet medium for the arrows, lace, paper with an aged look, pile on lots of layers and tuck bits into the layers, used ink to outline edges of everything, and created banners. This was a fun one!

Here is the case file:

Second, for the right side of the layout I used the sketch from Sketch N Scrap #179. 

I used a ton of product for this layout: a paper kit from Paper Loft, sequins and ink from CTMH, bling from Queen & Co., Tim Holtz stencil, studio 490 embossing paste, stickers, epherma, and rub-ons from MME, ticket from Recollections, transparency word from Heidi Swapp. I hope you enjoy my little creation. Thanks so much for stopping by!

New Layout - Fun at the Museum

Friday Fun Night! I hope your weekend is off to a spectacular start, I know mine is. I finished yet another layout, this one about the Perot Museum. It was a pretty simple monochromatic theme from Treasure Box.

Thanks for visiting my little blog! I hope you get some scrappy time this weekend.

New Layout - Chemistry Camp

Happy Friday YALL! I hope you are planning a restful and relaxing weekend, I know I sure am. I found this adorable sticker set yesterday by Recollections and knew instantly that I wanted to use it for my DD Chemistry Camp last summer at the Perot. I don't usually scrapbook a specific camp as she attends too many, but this one we had lots of fun experiments that she brought home each day to show us. 

I played along with Paper Issues June Take 5 challenge. I used the color red (chemistry title), the color blue (atom and journaling hexagons), hand journaling, a large title, layers, and circles (neutrons on the atom and the molecules). Join the fun over at Paper issues to play along. Here are the pick 5 items to play along with the challenge.

For this layout I went truly old school and dug out random patterned paper from my stash. I added CTMH ribbon, stamps and ink, old hexagon journaling blocks from jillibean soup, some old washi tape and of course, the stickers from Recollections. The large atom is cut on my cricut using cartridge "Nifty Fifties." I hope you enjoyed, thanks for stopping by!

New Layout - Tie-Dye

This is a personal record, three posts in one day! I completed this layout of our girls tie-dyeing t-shirts for the first time. Who knew it was so messy? They loved it though and the shirts turned out great.  

I used Sketch #377 from Sketches in Thyme. I spread out the circles into a larger circle and added some extra photos along the exterior. I also converted it to a double page layout. I used a kit from Treasure Box.

Thanks for visiting, have a wonderful evening!

New Layout - Oreo Challenge

Second post of the day! Whoohoo, but alas I return to work on Monday and I'm sure my days of multiple layouts will be over. I just finished up this Oreo Challenge layout. Have you taken the Oreo Challenge? You place an oreo on your forehead and then, without using your hands, get it into your mouth by way of gravity. It's pretty funny, and pretty difficult. We ended up with a lot of oreos on the floor! Our daughters LOVED it!

I used another paper kit from Paper Loft and added oreo stickers from Recollections. I also used my AMAZING Selphy printer to print the tiny little photos in the photo strip. Anyone else have one of these babies? I LOVE IT and use it ALL THE TIME!

Thanks for visiting me!

New Layout - It's a Great Day

It's almost the weekend! Yeah! I've been working on a little bit of Pie Face inspiration this morning.  There is nothing like the squealing laughter of three little girls play Pie Face. At 6 and 7 years old, it is the perfect combination of messy and thrilling! 

For this layout, I played along with Scrap Our Stash "June Saturday Cartoon Inspired Stash Challenge." I used the sketch for the right side of my layout and rotated it. I added a few more banners and the saying includes the "you".  You also needed to include the color yellow and (1) or more square embellishments. All of my "sayings" are square, well technically more rectangular but you get the idea. Hop on over to SOS and play along!

Here is the sketch:

I also played along with The Paper Girls Challenge #178 - Toys. The toy I used, obviously Pie Face game - the number #1 toy for 6 year old girls! Oh, how many times I have played this game. Check out the fun challenges over at The Paper Girls!

I used a Paper Loft paper kit and added the brads, arrows and journaling tags from my random stash. I hope you are having a wonderful week. Thanks for stopping by!
