National Scrapbooking Day - A Layout

Hello!

I SCRAPBOOKED!!   hahaha
FINALLY!
I couldn't let National Scrapbooking Day go by without a little scrappy effort from me.  So here is a layout I have been meaning to get to for well over a year now - fun family trip to Medieval Times!  I used a Becky Fleck Sketch posted on the Scrapbook and Cards Today Blog as one of their challenges for today, and let me just ask, WHY DON'T I ALWAYS USE A SKETCH?!?!  This took a lot of the 'thinking' effort out of my scraping, which I really enjoyed.  The layout came together so quickly!  Hope you enjoy!

Papers: Black Cardstock (Bazzil), Old School Collection (pinkpaislee), Oliver Collection, Basics Collection (Basic Grey)
Punch: EK Success
Letter Stickers: Cream & Red Mini Market (October Afternoon), Eric Foam Thickers (American Crafts)
Staples

Thanks for visiting!

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!

Overdue Layout Share!

Hello!

I have a layout to share today that I completed for a Two Peas Challenge (use 7 4x6 pictures on one layout) awhile ago and never got around to posting.  Hope you enjoy!  The layout documents a surprise birthday party we had for my mother-in-law last year.  Basic Grey's Life of the Party line was just perfect for the theme of the pictures!!!

The way Shimelle (challenge creator) incorporated so many 4x6's into one layout was to create a sort of mini-book within the layout.  So cute!  This provided the perfect spot for journalling on such a busy page.

More layouts to come soon!!
Have a great day!!
