Christmas layouts

Okay, I'll admit it--these layouts were made with 2012 photos!  But, they are new creations!!

I got my big kids a cookie kit at Walgreen's last year.  If you look closely, you can see that it's a Ninja-bread kit!  DS loves Lego Ninjago, so I thought this would be fun and different!  We had a blast making cookies with this!  For my layout, I used Authentique's Joyous collection and a little Mister Huey's white mist to represent flour.  It looks more like it IRL.

This layout uses some Bazzill kraft background paper and some scraps from my stash.  The kraft with white words and the squares are from The Paper Studio.  I pulled out lots of supplies on this one: the santa brad, the paper clip, twine, two kinds of alphas, the journal box, and the washi tape.  I love the little extra that washi gives to layouts!!  The title is meant to be a little sarcastic--my DD did NOT want her photo taken at her class Christmas party.  Lol, the joys of having a scrapping mamarazzi!!

Now, my DS LOVES having his photo taken--he always stops and poses with that huge grin!  These papers are mostly The Paper Studio, with a few scraps from my stash.  I Stickled the candy and reindeer die cuts (from my Artbooking Cricut cartridge) as well as some of the hexagons.  This one was actually from a Becky Flech sketch used in a challenge on A Cherry on Top.  You can find the origianl link here.

Hope you liked these pages; and I'm hoping to get all of Christmas 2012 scrapped so that I can move on to 2013!!  Have a great new year--it will be here soon!!

A Few Layouts

I've been working on several layouts lately to enter into challenges at A Cherry on Top.  It's my favorite online scrapbook store and message board.  You can find a link here.

This first one uses some new papers, the black with words and numbers is Graphic 45's Journey paper, and the leaves and multi chevron is Bazzill's Candy Corn Chevron/Scattered Leaves paper.  I loved both sides and had to use some of each!

 

The next layout shows some of the progress of building our house.  I used We R Memory Keepers' Happy Campers collection.

I loved these Reminisce papers, and thought they'd be perfect for scrapping my little boy with his candy bucket.  He thinks it's the only kind of container to take trick-or-treating!  I used a chalkboard sticker for my journaling, and the "Trick-or-Treat, Smell my Feet" saying is actually sticker strips.  I put them on top of some washi tape strips to highlight the saying.

This layout uses some swap pieces from a group I was a part of at It's a Scrapbooking Swap Thing (IASST).  It used Webster's Pages Game On collection.  I just love the look on my daughter's face in the bottom picture--I think she was coming out ahead in the game!

Hope you enjoyed looking at a few of my layouts!  Hope to get a few more uploaded soon!

Happy Fall Home Decor

My little boy asked me the other day if he could take his teacher a present.  How sweet of him!  I had just bought some little fall decorations at the dollar store with the intention of jazzing them up a bit.  With the help of my Cricut and Create a Critter 2, I fixed this little thing up!

And, of course, my little owl had to have a Peachy Keen face!  I stamped this one from the PK-754 Critter Faces.  Added some pen work and chalk, then put her in her new pumpkin home.  DS's teacher will love it, but I'm going to have to make one for us!

I'm entering this project in the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge # : Anything Goes.  You can find it here.

Hope you liked this little owl, and hope you are having a Happy Fall!

Hey There, Pumpkin!

It's finally beginning to feel like autumn here in southern Oklahoma.  In the mornings, anyway!  And, we are busy planning trips to hay mazes and pumpkin patches, so what better time to get back in the swing of some card making?

I got my inspiration from the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge for this week.  It's a photo inspiration:

You can find their challenge here.

I loved this little ghost from Peachy Keen Stamps (PK-M04 Mini Ghost), and since he's so friendly, I thought he went well with the sentiment from a small set by Studio G.  Here's a close-up of the sweet little ghost.

I'm also entering this card in the October 2013 Card Challenge at A Cherry On Top.  You can find it here.  That challenge was to just make a Fall or Halloween card.  But I get a bonus entry for having a pumpkin and/or leaves.  And I put plenty of leaves on this card.  All cut with my Cricut and the Straight From the Nest cartridge.

Hope you like this card, and hope you have a nice autumn day!

Peek-a-Boo Super Star

I did this layout for a challenge on A Cherry On Top's message board.  It was to use stencils or masking.  I cut out several stars with my Cricut George and Basic Shapes cartridge.  Then I attached them to my background cardstock with repositionable adhesive and misted on top of them.  Then I removed the masks, and built my page on top!

These photos are of my DD playing Peek-a-Boo, and I drew inspiration from her shirt!  I cut the main title with my Cricut Sans Serif cartridge, but I wanted to add that she's a super star at playing Peek-a-Boo.  So I cut a cute bear hiding behind a star with my Creative Memories Tiny Treasures Cricut cartridge.  And of course, that little bear needed some Peachy Keen personality!

I stamped a new face with the PKS Teddy Bear Assortment stamp set.  Then I did a little pen work around him and the star.

I'm also entering this layout in the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge.  This week it's "Anything Goes!"  You can find the current challenge here.

Thanks for stopping by today!
