Cutting the Cake

     It is my day up on the Just Imagine/ Kreaxion's blog. So another wedding layout is in order today.  I love using the Kreaxion's 4 in 1 punches on these layouts because they are so dainty.

     To create this beautiful layout I used Bazzil cardstock, Colorbok papers, flowers from Michaels and 3D stickers from EK Success.  I used my Cricut Expressions with Sure Cuts A Lot and the Script MT font to cut the Title.  To create the beautiful borders I used Kreaxion's punch # 310.

Peek A Boo

    It is my day up on the Just Imagine/Kreaxions Blog.  To create this beautiful layout I used a mix of papers, Imaginsce, My Mind's Eye and Echo Park. I used Kreaxion's Punch #301 with C insert for the corners and Punch # 310 without an insert for the borders. The flowers are Recollection and the ribbon is from Celebrate It. I used my Cricut to cut the title and the Kreaxion's Circle cutter to cut the circle .

Almost There!

     Yes, I am almost at 50 layouts for the month of March, just two more to go but I don't think I will make it.  I have completed 6 so far today.  Two of those are a double pager.

     Let's start with that one.  I used Basic Grey's Serenade paper.  My Kreaxion's Circle cutter came in handy while creating these layouts and I used a Fiskar's edge punch as well. The cardstock stickers are from Karen Foster while I used my Cricut Expression and the Sure Cuts a Lot program to cut the Title with the Brush Script font.

To create Sweet Pea. I used paper from Pebbles, flowers from the Dollarama, Butterflies from K&Company and the bling is from KaiserCraft.

He's all boy and no mistake about it. I used Cosmos Cricket Joy Ride papers, chipboard from Little Yellow Bicycle and I created the faux stitching with my Pitt Artist black pen.

Nothing like starting young to play Basket Ball. I started with papers from Imaginisce, I used die cuts from the same line. The Alphas are from Bella Blvd and I used my Pitt Artist black pen for the faux stitching.

Paper came from the Paper Loft's Every Day Life. The die cuts are from Imaginisce, the button's are from the Dollar Store and the ribbon is unknown.

Scrap Scrap Scrap!!

     Yes, that is what I do.  There is nothing more relaxing and fun then taking a photo and then placing it on a page to display it in a beautiful way.  I really love what I do and to be able to do that for someone who really likes what you are doing for them is so very gratifying.

   For this first one I used paper from Studio75's Sweet Home collection. I took a TCW stencil and sprayed the background with Lindy's Starburst Bachelor Button Blue mist, I also used the same mist on Jelli Bean Soup's alphas. I used punches from both Martha Stewart and Recollections for my edges.  Flowers from Petaloo, Prima and some unknown were added to the page. I stuck a bit of bling from Basic Grey on the center of the large flower. A rub-on from Pink Paisley seemed to be just the thing for the bottom right corner of the photo. A bit of unknown ribbon tucked behind the photo and some faux stitching with a black Pitt Artist Pen was all that was needed to complete this beautiful layout.

This next layout was such a fun one to do. I rarely do layouts with multiple photos but I had all these photos of Skylar playing on the playground and I didn't want to pick just one or two. So a multiple layout was in order.  I choose KaiserCraft's Seaside collection for this one.  Mainly because I only had a little bit of it left over and because this layout only needed a little bit. Both the Baker's Twine and Clothespin are Recollections. The 3D stickers are from My Mind's Eye and I used a white Jelly Roll pen to write around the border and to do the faux stitching.

This little boy is so darned adorable and such a sweet topic to scrap.  I used papers from Little Yellow Bicycle's Fern Forest for this adorable page.  Once again I used a TCW stencil (I love their stencils) and this time I used Liquitex's Coarse texture gel on the background for added texture. I sprayed the stars with Goosebump's shimmer texture spray and adhered them with Pop Dots. The fibers are unknown. The sticker is from Karen Foster and I cut the title with my Cricut and the Stone cartridge.

I love this photo of Skylar with this grandfather. Bob looks so happy to be down on the floor with him. I wanted to make sure that photo was the focal point of the layout.  I used papers from Imaginisce for this layout. The cardstock stickers are from the same line. I used two different punches, one from Ek Success and Kreaxions Punch #919.  The doily is from the Dollaram and the fiber is unknown.

Yes, I finally found a couple of photos of Brayden in the mix of photos that she brought me, and delight of delights, it was his baby picture!!! :)  Everything on this layout is from Crate's Little Boy Blue collection.

Gotta Love Scrapping Kids

     I know I really love it when I am scrapping the little ones.  My mind wanders back to when my daughter was small and how precious she was.. not that she isn't precious now but she doesn't live with me now and she she isn't wandering around now saying those cute little things or doing those little things that always made me laugh.

     I have so many photos of these children to scrap that I am going to be remembering my daughter for a long time to come and therefore I am going to be enjoying my scrapping for a long time.

This first layout of Skylar with his two younger Siblings, Leah and Brayden is just too sweet. It makes me wonder if having only the one child was a wise choice.  Yeah, it was, I would never have been able to handle more than one.. heck I couldn't even handle just the one.

I had some fun with this one but alas I didn't keep very good track of what I was using... Me Bad!!What I do know, I used some Pink Paisley, some Echo Park, a little Basic Grey,and I also used a TCW stencil with Liquitex natural sand for texture. I also used a die to cut my banner.

For this next one I couldn't help think how Skylar looked so darn cute all decked out in a Fireman's outfit and how Janet never thought of being anything but a teacher. Even her second year of College she was still studying to be a teacher. Before the third year though we convinced her that that was not her niche. From the time she was 9 years old, she was into computers. She just had a thing with them, it was like she was born to them. Nothing about them escaped her tiny little mind. At nine years old she told a salesman at a Sear's store that he was going to have a "syntax error", he told her he knew what he was doing, yet he DID have a syntax error. She is now 40 years old and has never had to look for a job, it has always been headhunters looking for her. Yeah, she is very comfortable in her computer "niche".

I give you "To the Rescue".
For this layout I used Basic Grey's Serenade papers. The alphas are also from the same line. I used Momenta's Die Cuts. To cut the large background I used my Cricut Expression with the Storybook cartridge. I used a Martha Stewart edge punch for the little border. I also used a TCW's stencil with Liquidtex molding paste for some extra texture. The faux stitching was done with a Pitt Artist Black pen. To Attach the alphas I used Tombow glue.

I've been having some fun.

     Indeed I have.  I have been just scrapping away here.  I have my DT work all caught up for a while so I decided to play with some of the sketches from Boston Scrap Fanatics.  They have posted over 80 sketches so far this month and you know me, I LOVE sketches.

     This one was for sketch #88.
     For this layout I used a mix of papers, Crate's Story Teller, KaiserCraft's Up, Up and Away, and MME's The Sweetest Thing and I used a Recollections edge punch and a die to cut the gears. I used my Cricut Expressions to cut the title

     This one was for sketch #77.
     For this layout I used paper and embellishments by Momenta. The two larger flowers were cut with a Sizzix die. For the faux stitching I used a gelly roll pen.

     This one was for sketch #80.
     For this layout I used paper from Echo Park's - That's My Boy.  I used my super duper Kreaxions circle cutter.  I also used some Blended Fiber paste and a stencil on the background for a bit of texture.  I drew the rocket on a piece of paper and then cut it out of the patterned paper, then I glued it to chipboard. I adhered it with pop dots.

     This one was for sketch #54.
     For this layout I used paper from MME.  I used my super duper Kreaxions circle cutter. I also used Kreaxions punch #910 with Stencil A. The brads are unknown. The title and faux stitching were done with a white Gelly Roll pen.
