Layouts for my Son

Hello my scrappy friends!  It's almost time for school for us, little less then 2 weeks!  The summer went by so fast but it was fun visiting family, going to the movies, and day trips.  I'll miss my kids when they go back to school, but it's time.

Here are some layouts I created last week while attending a crop.  These layouts are all of my son.  Since his 11th birthday was at the beginning of this month, I decided to focus on him!

Summer: Allergy Induced Coma

This layout is being submitted for :

• Sketch N Scrap August #38 sketch (page one of my LO)
• Creative Scrapper August #713 sketch (page two of my LO)
• SWAT August Drill #13 (using triangles, both pages of my LO)

Love you to the core!

Hello once again my scrappy friends!  Another quick post as we are jetting out to visit family!  We are off to my sister and brother-in-law's (my daughter is already there!) for a sleepover tonight.  We need to be well rested for our trip to the Bronx Zoo tomorrow!  We'll meet up with my other sister and her two little girls and some friends.  Then off to my aunts house again to relax at the lake during the day and play cards at night with great-grandma.  I'm so lucky that my children love family so much and that we get to see them often, especially during the summer.

Visiting leaves me little time for scrapping but family has got to come first!  I did however make some time to create a card for my son's 11th birthday just last week.  I've entered it into the Reverse Confetti August Sketch in the hopes of winning some stamps...the entire next new release!  I love Jen del Muro's blog and her creative stamps!

Here is the sketch, cute isn't it?!?

 

Here is my card....

 

Thanks so stopping by!  Enjoy your family :)

Let's Celebrate Birthday Card

Good Evening my scrappy friends!  It was a busy weekend for my kids....sleepover birthday party for my daughter's friend and a sleepover birthday party at home for my son.  My daughter didn't sleep much but thankfully my son and his friends did!  

This card I made suing my Cricut Mickey and Friends cartridge, first time I used it and it shows.  Obviously I didn't line the cuts properly but I made it and will try it again for other cards and layouts.

Using the sketch from Unscripted Sketches Flashback #27 and  from Stuck on U Sketches Disney die cut challenge, this is my card,

I used scraps from my stash from various manufactures and the stamp sentiment is from Studio G.

Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful night!
Off to watch America's Funniest Videos with the family~

Fabulous Style

Good morning my scrappy friends!  We are getting ready to go food shopping for our son's 11th birthday party...a small sleepover with 3 other boys.  I'm not exactly sure what to do with four 10 and 11 year old boys but I'm thinking video games, Legos, video games, eating, video games, maybe some board games and did I mention video games!?!  It's all they seem to want to do.  Fine with me, my house shouldn't get too destroyed playing video games!

Onto why we're really here...my latest layout!  I used the MME July Sketch Challenge for two pictures of my daughter's Girl Scout Daisy trip to a place called Enchanted Dreams.  A fantastic little place perfect for little girls to dress up like princesses and fairies and dance around and have a spot of tea!  It was wonderful seeing their faces light up at all of the fancy dresses and wings!

I used MME papers, fussy cut the circles/doilies, stamped using CTMH stamps, and die cut the title and arrows from various Cricut cartridges.

Thanks for stopping by~

Slip Slide Away~

Hello my scrappy friends!  Another summer LO completed!  This one of my son from July 2009 during a week or Sports Skills run by the county.  It was a fantastic week of fun!

 

This layout was created using scraps from various manufacturers including DCWV and Colorbok.  Stamps are from CTMH.  I'm entering this into About A Boy July 15 challenge "showcasing water in some way" and Let's Get Sketchy week 1 sketch challenge.  

Thanks for the great challenges :)  You have a few more days to enter your own layouts!

Summer Fun!

Well, hello my scrappy friends!  It's been a while since I've posted or scrapped even!  This month has been filled with fun filled days with my kids...visiting family, movies, bowling, play dates, and VBS.  Gotta live it up while we can....little more then a month from now we'll be back at school!  I can't believe it, already!

So, lets' get to it!  My first LO is of both my children at the lake, we go often, from 3 years ago.  I never said I was caught up!  I used DCWV glitter mat stack for the glittery "summer" subtitle, CTMH Pennant Alphabet stamp set for the title "celebrate", and making memories travel paper for my pennant banners.

This LO will be entered into the following blogs:
>> Twisted Tuesday #54 - use something that begins with the letter I (used ink) and the twist of embossing (on the blue paper).
>> Embellish Me Happy July Challenge celebrating summer
>> Lets Get Sketchy Week  2 sketch challenge, featuring half photos.  Obviously I used twine to give the illusion of half photos.
>> Sketches 4 All Technique Tuesday week 4 banners

Off for lunch and hair cuts this afternoon!

All New Day

Hello my scrappy friends!  I think it took me less then 2 hours to make this LO which is a record for me!  I'm a very ssllooowww scrapper...always.  I don't know why, several reasons I guess...picking out papers, choosing die cuts, inks, photo placement.  It just takes me time to make decisions, but that's ok.  At least I get pages done eventually!

So here is the LO I completed yesterday using lots of stamps and bright colors.  It's pictures of my daughter at the lake so bright colors work perfectly, especially with her brightly colored bathing suit!  I inked a white card stock paper, trying to mimic the water and sand background, using Tim Holtz distressed inks in iced spruce, salty ocean, corduroy and marmalade.  All of the stamps are from Oriental Trading clear stamp set, Summer.

I'm very happy with how this one turned out.  The stamps were perfect wording for it too!  I'm entering this layout into the following challenges:

> About A Girl July challenge - using the word NEW somewhere on your LO
> My Scraps & More mini challenge #1 - using 3 different stamps
> SWAT Drill #11 - using 80's Neon colors

Thanks for visiting and enjoy your day!
