Kindergarten Layout

Hello!
Today I thought I'd share a layout I did recently featuring my littlest daughter Natalie on her first day of school:

These pictures were taken only a year ago but already she looks so different!  Isn't it amazing how kids grow and change so quickly!  Wow!

I used an older (but still a favorite!) line by Pebbles.  I have used the heck out of this line and I think I've finally used all I have of it!  That plaid paper is so me!

This sketch was from the class I took at Big Picture Classes in May- it has been so fun completing each layout!  Here is a closer look at the smaller prints:

Hope you are having a great day!!

Big Smile Layout

Hello!

Today I'm sharing my layout for the latest Inspired Blueprints sketch- #100! bt's a great sketch this week and I had lots of fun using it on this layout:

I scrapbooked some older photos of Zoey with this one- these are from her first roller coaster ride at the county fair!  She loved it!

I created my own kit at the beginning of summer and these papers and embellishments are from it.  Have you ever done that?  I love putting papers from different companies and lines together!  It is one of my favorite things about scrapbooking!

The letter stickers are by Jillibean Soup and Simple Stories.  I added them to a pretty October Afternoon label to create my title.

I added my journaling on a couple more of those fun labels surrounded by little journaling stickers from Simple Stories.  I think I have papers from Echo Park, Jillibean Soup, Jenni Bowlin, October Afternoon, Pebbles, Inc., Simple Stories, American Crafts, and Webster's Pages.  I told you I like to mix them up! :)

The team created some really great layouts with this sketch- pop over to the Inspired Blueprints blog to check them out!  Thanks Lis for another great sketch!!

Snapshots of Yellowstone Layout

Hello!

I know I posted this morning but since I had a page done and wanted to add it to our class gallery, I thought I'd share it here, too!  The class I'm taking is 28 Days if Sketches, Round 2 over at Big Picture Classes and this page is inspired by the Day 2 Sketch:

I took a ton of photos during our trip across the country and many of them came from Yellowstone National Park.  It was so beautiful there!  I do plan on creating some more detailed layouts about what we saw there but since I don't have any done yet,  I thought it would be fun to use a few of my favorites from the trip on this little layout!

I'm not so happy with how the hand written journaling turned out but what can you do... I wish I would have waited to speckle my background with the darker mist, then it wouldn't look so messy!

All the papers and the washi tapes are from the Far and Away collection by Teresa Collins.  The sticker letters are from the Summer Stories collection by Teresa Collins and the Thickers are by American Crafts.  

I really enjoyed working with this sketch!  This page was a quick one, too, which makes it even better!  

OK!  Hope you have a great weekend and Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!
