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! :)

Thanks for visiting!

Please leave a comment.  I love to hear from you!

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!!!

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!

Baby Album

Hello!

Today I have a bit of a long post picture wise.  I wanted to share the baby album I finished recently for a friend.  Her little girl turned one, and this was part of her birthday present!  I kept the pages really simple.  All pages had a plain white background, double layered photo mats, and a Cricut cut and/or title (with the exception of one page that had sticker letters and a coloured digi).  I have already shared some of these images for previous Paper Playtime challenges, however most are new!  Hope you enjoy!

School Days

Hello!

Today is another challenge day at Paper Playtime, and this week we have another sponsor - The Stamping Boutique!!  Be sure to check out their site...the images they have available are AMAZING!

Our theme this week is 'School Days', and I made a layout for my upcoming school year.  It might seem silly to scrap about beginning the year as the teacher, but I love it...hahaha.  My favourite part about beginning any new school year was shopping for supplies, and I still quite enjoy this aspect of the job, even if the supplies are a bit different.  There is room for three pictures, sized 3x2 on this layout.
I modified the image a bit...it originally had an American Flag, but since I am Canadian, I changed that out!  I hope the designers are OK with this :).
