My Silly Eggs

I loved the simplicity of the Paper Girls Challenge blog challenge # 56 sketch. I was able to pair it up with these Easter Egg Hunt pictures from 2013 without making "Easter" the main theme. 

Sunset @ The Beach

One of the many the perks of living close to the beach is that we can just get in the car and go.  Every once in a while we like to take a spontaneous trip to watch the sunset.  My boys absolutely love the beach and we love to watch them enjoy themselves.  

I used ScrapbookSteals Daisy #5 sketch along with the Scrap Our Stash Challenge # 14.

 

For the Scrap Our Stash Challenge we had use something old, something new, something blue, and something fussy cut.

Something old : I used my I-Rock to adhere the white gems that I've had in my stash for a couple of years now.

Something new : I purchased some Heidi Swap Blue Ghost Letters a couple of months ago, that I finally was able to use.

Something blue : I used multiple blue items: paper, washi tape, and the @ sign in my title.

Something fussy cut : I cut out a large cloud shape in the yellow chevron paper using my Kiwi Lane Designs template.

Knightly Cake - ScrapbookSteals Daisy # 4

After a long hiatus, I am slowly getting back into scrapbooking. 

Looking thru my photos, I decided to try and get some of my oldest sons birthday party from a couple of years ago. I don't know about you, but I have a hard time scrapping birthdays and holidays.

So here is my take on ScrapbookSteals Daisy #4 MidweekMojo Sketch. I did end up changing some paper placements to accommodate my 2nd picture.

Play & Sweet Dreams

I signed up for Studio Calico Pop of the Page 2 online class, and am loving it. It has helped me expand my scrapbooking style. Here are 2 of the layouts I have done for my "homework".

Week 1 Challenge : was to create a layout inspired by an example given

 

Week 2 Challenge : was to use mixed media. I used Gesso and watercolors for the 1st time and loved it!

I am loving Basic Grey Bowties that I picked up at the Orlando Scrapbook Expo. The papers really went well with this picture of my oldest with his beloved VW Bus. I was super excited to see that there was a car pattern sheet that included a VW Bus and Bug!

I used Kiwi Lane DT Doodles 2013 week 18 sketch and paired it with The Paper Girls Challenge Blog : Challenge # 31 : Doodle Time.

Vroom! Vroom!

I came across Kristine Davidson's blog "Just Being Creative" and fell in love with her sketches. The sketch I used comes from her latest book Creating with Sketches Vol. 2.

 

The layout also qualifies for the following challenges:

About A Boy  :  For this challenge we had to create a layout of our child being a typical boy.  

"Lasting Memories" : We had to create a layout using only 1 photo.
