Show us your Selfie

I'm super excited to be the June designer for Lasting Memories.
 

Challenge # 195 is "Show us your selfie"
 

I unfortunately had to dig deep for a decent picture of myself that did not include one of my boys. 

 I loved how this came out and it makes me realize that my boys will appreciate more layouts of my husband and myself when they are older.  So I definitely plan on more selfie layouts.
 

This challenge is over on June 30th. Come join us! 

 

 

 

This layout also works for  S.W.A.T. Drill # 33 "The Selfie". Looks like it's a "selfie" kind of month!

 



....at the Beach

With the beginning of the month comes many new challenges on some of me favorite scrappy blogs.

For this picture of my boys at the beach I've decided to use The Paper Bakery May Sketch Challenge # 1.

 

I will be entering this layout in the following challenges as well:

SWAT Drill # 7 :  Tic Tac Toe - I used row 1 down; 3 buttons, stitching, and 3 different manufactures (Fancy Pants Park Bench and The Good Life, My Minds Eye Indie Chic, and Teresa Collins Carolina Breeze)

Scrap Your Story Challenge # 10 : Favorites

Red Carpet Studio # 35 : Black Swan - create a layout using black as the prominent color!

2 Broke Girls Cupcake Special # 3 : Photo inspiration - I've pulled the yellow/gold and turquoise  colors

Scrap Our Stash Challenge # 3 : Pattern Paper Party - 3 different manufactures (Fancy Pants Park Bench and The Good Life, My Minds Eye Indie Chic, and Teresa Collins Carolina Breeze) and a rubon (at the Beach)

New Suit

I dug deep into my photo stash for this picture of my oldest from 2011 and paired it with ScrapbookSteals MWM Amber # 7. The papers and buttons have also been hanging around for a few years as well. 

I will be entering this layout in the following challenges:
SWAT Drill # 5 : Dig Deep
Scrap It Girl : Arrows or Angels
Scrap your Story : Stitching

A Night Before Christmas

Every year our local park has a Christmas festival. Santa arrives via Helicopter, they have a snow area, face paint, etc. My son loves it! These are the pictures from 2011, as well as all the supplies (excluding the strip a washi tape). Why is it that holiday pictures are the hardest to scrap? LOL

I used this sketch from Scrappin'n'Happy March Challange :
