Layout - Lego Love

Another new layout.  Another hybrid!  So excited about these new (to me) options in my scrapping world!  I am especially loving that Ali's Pinterest Passport Challenges have me thinking in a new way, getting my stories onto paper and into albums!  With this layout I used the Here We Go digital stamp (link below), probably not in the way it was originally intended, but in a way that definitely meant something with these pictures.  Aiden has recently gotten into the Lego building phase of childhood, and I know just how well that road will travel into the future.  One set will (has) led to a few sets, which will lead to The Death Star, (the real question being, who is more excited about that...me or him?), hence the 'Here We Go!'.  Love the skills (both physical and mental) that Lego building instills.  Also love how much fun he has with each new set!  haha





Supplies
Cardstock: Heavyweight White 110lb (Georgia Pacific)
Digital Elements: Layered Template Set No. 122 (Cathy Zielske), Here We Go Digital Stamp (Ali Edwards)
Inks: Tuxedo Black (Momento), Blue Watercolour (Artist's Loft)
Other: White Foam Thickers (American Crafts for Amy Tangerine), Red Tiny Type Letters (Cosmo Cricket), red phrase stickers (Cosmo Cricket), black phrase stickers (Authentique), Date Stamp (Trodat), yellow enamel dots (Twine & Ink), arrow paper clips (Ikea), star and heart stickers (Jillibean Soup), washi tape (unknown)

Layout - Hello Independence

I made a layout that is NOT 12 x 12, is HYBRID, and includes hand cutting.  I don't really think there is much more to say about this.  YAY for me branching out (WAY OUT) of my comfort zone!! 

In all seriousness, I so love how simple this layout was to put together.  The 8.5 x 11 size combined with the digital elements made this so so quick and easy.  I will definitely be trying this again!  My goal was to use one of Ali Edwards digi elements from her current Pinterest Passport challenge, but I ended up surpassing even my own expectations about how this would turn out.  






Supplies
Cardstock: Heavyweight White 110lb (Georgia Pacific)
Digital Elements: Layered Template Set No. 127 (Cathy Zielske), Love This Story Digital Stamp (Ali Edwards), Little Things Digital Stamp Set (Ali Edwards)
Patterned Paper: grey hearts strip (unknown)
Stamps: Little Things Stamp Set (Ali Edwards)

Layout - Sibling Love

I'm sharing an update on a layout base that I did AGES ago, (we're talking 2010 here - Original Post), where I only made the basic background for the layout.  And while I LOVED the layout, until this point I never really had any pictures that I wanted to use it with.  In continuing my catch-up game for my daughter's baby album, I had these two memories printed of the first time my son met his new sister, and the first time he held her.  Originally I included these in her baby album in a 5x7 Becky Higgins page protector, and just slipped it into her album.  But when looking through old layouts that didn't have pictures yet, (of which I sadly have many), this one jumped out at me as an option.  

While different than something I might create now, I definitely loved how this layout ended up.  I was able to make a few additional embellishments to coordinate with those that were already on the page, and love that it is now tucked away in Miss Sophia's baby album.  <3 p="">





Supplies (all quite old - using up the stash!!)
Cardstock: Early Espresso, Rich Razzleberry, Crushed Curry, Kraft (I think now called Crumb Cake), Dusty Durango (Stampin' Up!)
Letter Stickers: Love Phrase (Recollections), tiny gold ones (unknown)
Stamps: Week in the Life 2014 (Ali Edwards)
Inks: Dark Chocolate (Papertrey Ink), Clear, Gold, and Bronze Smooch Spritz
Other: gold heart, antique gold brads (unknown), Date Stamp (Trodat), Early Espresso Stamoin' Write Marker (Stamping' Up!)

Layout - Our Wee Elmo Family

I've been playing catch-up!  While looking through their current Baby Albums, my 2 year old wee girl asked why she only had a few pages in her book, when her 4 year old big brother had TWO FULL BOOKS.  YES, she could articulate that emotion.  YES, Mommy guilt hit hard and I have been putting in some much needed time on this neglected hobby of mine.  And YES, the first actual layout I have made, (not PL style), is actually for her big brother's book.  hahahahaha

But seriously, how cute is this picture!?!?  When Aiden was almost 2, and we were expecting our second baby (the aforementioned deep question asker), we wanted to help prepare him for the changes that a new baby would bring.  So we used his collection of Elmo stuffies to put together a brilliant Elmo family analogy.  Totally on his level.  Totally worked.  For the rest of my pregnancy, and well after, he called the Elmo stuffies by their family names; Daddy Elmo, Mommy Elmo, Aiden Elmo and Baby Elmo.  And when Miss S arrived, he showed her her Baby Elmo and said 'This is you!'  Adorable.  Layout needed.  Guilt still present, but semi-justified.  haha

I DID make Soph a PL card of the event (see below), but felt the full layout belonged in Aiden's album, rather than hers.





The PL card for Sophia's album.

Supplies (all quite old - using up the stash!!)
Cardstock: White (Basil?)

An Actual LAYOUT! That's NEW!!

OK, the world must have stopped or something because I have actually made a layout.  A real layout.  With pictures, and patterned paper, and even some letter stickers and punches!  It is amazing how great it felt to get scrappy again!  Woooo whooo!!  Thank you Two Peas CHA Challenges for getting me motivated!!

Anywhoo, here is the layout.   This is my first ever (I think?) 6x12 layout.  I really enjoyed working with this size and will definitely have to do these more often.  Almost the whole thing is picture focused, which I really like and rarely do.  I kept everything super simple and really like how everything turned out.  This layout is for Two Peas In A Bucket CHA Challenge #4 - Use Four Words In Your Title.

This layout will go in my Project Life book along with the other pictures from this week.  Hope you enjoy!

Cardstock: Kraft (Bazzil)
Patterned Paper: THANKful Collection (Bella Blvd)
Letter Stickers: THANKful Collection (Bella Blvd), "Carefree" Elements (Authentique)
Other: Circle Tag (Elle's Studio), Washi Tape, Heart Punch (EK Success)

You Make Me Happy

Hello,

I have a layout to share - an old one, but one I haven't shared yet at least!
I absolutely LOVE this layout.  I love the colours.  I love the patterns.  I love the fact that I actually used stamps on a layout.  I just wish I had pictures to put on it (hehe).  I made this layout with the intent to take pictures with my hubby (as the layout and journalling are speaking to and about him) - alas, we have yet to take those pictures.  But when we do, I have a layout ready! :)

Layout - My Favourite Place

Hello!

I wanted to share a layout I completed a few days ago.  I am participating in Shimelle Laine's 'A Hitchhiker's Guide to Scrapbooking' class at Two Peas in a Bucket (so fun!).  Our first challenge was to put together a pile of supplies (starting with paper) with which to make a layout.  Take a picture of the supplies, and then take a picture of the final product!  I liked this because it took a lot of the thinking out of the actual putting together of the project.  Here is what I came up with.  Hope you enjoy!

Play All Day - Papertrey Ink Blog Hop

Hello!

I am participating in the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop Challenge today!  So fun....my first challenge in ages!!!

The-Challenge
This month, in honor of the New Year, we are challenging you to pick your favorite project from 2011 and share it with all of us. To take it a step further, you are challenged to create a second card that is inspired by the favorite project you select. Your new version of an old favorite could carry over the color scheme, the layout or the stamp sets. We look forward to seeing your best creations from 2011, as well as your first projects from 2012!

The project I selected as my favourite from 2011 is a previously unshared layout of some cute little boys in my life having fun at camp.  I had supplies left over from this layout (not shocking, as I am a self-proclaimed paper hoarder), so I was able to use almost entirely the same supplies to make my card.  The sentiment I added to the card is from Papertrey Ink's 'Birthday Bash Sentiments'.  Hope you enjoy!

Teeny Kabinis - Layout Share

Hello!

I have a super fun layout to share today, and I can't believe I haven't shared it yet!!  I made this awhile ago for one of Nichole Magourik's 'Scrapbook Stamping' Challenges at Two Peas In A Bucket.  The challenge was to use stamps to create your own background paper with stamped images and embossing (which allows you to ink in the image with stamping ink, markers, watercolours, etc).  I had SOOOOOO much fun with this!  I have never made my own background paper, have never coloured in with sponges and inks, have NEVER used this many flowers on a page ... but I so love how this layout turned out!  So fun and beachy - perfect for the pictures I wanted to scrap of a fun beach day in San Juan.

Flowers are from an OLD Imaginisce flower kit (summer flowers, winter flowers, spring flowers...or something like that), papers were from my scraps stash, brads from a mixed bin I have...the only things I actually KNOW the name of are:
- the leaf punch I used - Martha Stewart 'Frond' which also had some stamping and white embossing
-  the stamp I used - it is a Basic Grey/Hero Arts cling background stamp called Flower Dot Pattern.  It coordinated with the Basic Grey 'Out of Print' collection, which can be found nowhere on this page..haha...but the background stamp was PERFECT for the challenge.

Hope you enjoy!






Have a great day!
