Easter Fun

Fun page for my DD's album of her with her cousins & brothers. I used a color combo challenge at Scrapbooker's Clubhouse, this week's Practical Scrappers challenge to use stamps & Pile It On's challenge to use circles.

And speaking of Practical scrapper's, last week my layout was chosen as Christine's Pick of the week. Thank so much!!! If interested you can find it here.

80's Day


I still can't believe my kids had 80's day at school this spring. The 80's weren't too long ago!!
I used some bright old papers that seemed a bit 80'ish to me, and used lots of doodling which is the current challenge at Method Playground. I also used a sketch from Capture these Sketches.

Indiana Jones


A very simple one of the Indiana Jones show in Hollywood Studios. I used a sketch from 52 sketches, 52 weeks just omitted a few photos on it.

Birthday Cake


A fun, bright layout of my DD when she turned 5. The picture of her isn't the best, the glass tabletop reflected the b'day candles so there are some weird shadows, but the look is just SO her that I had to use this photo anyway.
I used sketch #64 at Creative Scrappers.

the Happiest Place on Earth


Photo of two of the kids at DisneyWorld (the oldest was too busy riding the Rock n Roller Coaster to pose for a pic).
I used the color challenge at Mix It Up, a sketch from Inspired blueprints, and this week's challenge at Practical Scrappers to use up some of your vellum stash. I didn't realize how much vellum I had!! I used my Silhouette to cut the circles & flowers - it worked really well on the vellum so I plan on doing this some more.

Easter


Another quick layout of some Easter photos from 3 yrs ago (seems like just a few months ago). This week's challenge at Scrap and Stamp Saturday was to use at least one stamped image and create a non-Christmas, holiday themed layout. I used a CTMH stamp set to create the title, eggs and the wasket weave on the green c/s.
I used a sketch from Inspired Blueprints, just flipped it on it's side.

Pumpkin Patch


A layout for my son's album of our annual visit to the Pumpkin patch.
I used sketch #65 at Creative Scrappers along with a couple of challenges:
- Scrapping Out Loud - use tissue paper and a bow - the tissue paper is stitched onto the layout to create the circle and the bow is on the post of the sign.
- al a Carte - Challenge to choose at least 3 items (I did 4) from the current 'menu' which consisted of :
1. doodling around the edge of layout - Did that
2. hand or machine stitching - Did that
3. craft or turquoise cardstock -
4. 4 different patterned papers - Did that
5. buttons...must be threaded! - Did that
6. handmade embellishment -
7. mixed alpha title
8. journaling strips...preferably DYMO
