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.

Busy busy busy

     Yes I have been a busy little bee, scrapping to my heart's content. I can honestly say that my mojo has returned and I think maybe it brought someone else's with it.  I have been scrapping on the average of one and a half layouts per day all month.  So far I have finished 40 layouts. Not to mention my projects and cards.  I am quite pleased with myself. LOL

     Now I  have to admit these layouts are not the fancy loaded kind that I have been doing in the past but there is a reason for that, I just can't afford to do those layouts anymore.  Also, I have decided that they really don't fit in the albums properly and once they are placed in the albums, they just don't look so good because they become flattened.   They are fine if  you are going to be displaying them on a wall or whatever but they are just not for albums.

     I have also been trying to keep track of what I use in these layouts because I have been applying to different DT's and I know they like it when you list the matterials you have used.  I admit that sometimes I get so carried away with what I am doing that I forget to keep track but I am slowly learning and it is starting to come to me more and more as I do it.

     For this layout I used the last bits of paper I had left over from Basic Grey's Oliver line. The canvas banner is from Studios Poppies and Peonies. The ribbon, ribbon slide, chippies, and metal embellie are all unknown. The flower and butterfly are K&Company.  The alphas are Recollections.

     I love the way this one turned out.  The photo is so precious. I used Crate's Little Boy Blue collection on this layout. Everything is from that collection.

     For this layout I used Basic Grey's Serenade line, I love love love this line of papers.  I used a combination of flowers, Petaloo and Prima. Both the bling and the chippie are from the Dollar store. The metal embellies are from Momenta.  The doily was in a RAK that I received.

For this layout, once again I used the lovely Basic Grey's Serenade papers, I used a Martha Stewart edge punch and Momenta chipboard embellishments.

This layout is one of my favourites I think. I love the beautiful FabScraps paper. A mixture of Prima and Dollar store flowers with a few unknown stickers.
