SI330: Sydney at 1 1/2

Our dog has so much personality.

I tried to capture a bit of that in this layout.

The pictures are from 2007 when Sydney was 1 1/2 years old.

I used sketch #330 from Sketch Inspiration for the layout design.

I LOVE this sketch b/c it is perfect for using up a 6x6 pad.

I scrap boys so all of my 12x12 papers are in boy colors.

Miss Sydney likes a little bit more girly stuff... hee hee

Supplies:

Easter 2011 LO with Lawn Fawn

Sharing this layout over on Two Peas in a Bucket.

There were other peoples' kids in the photos so I am sharing the basic layout design I found in my Scrapbook Generation's sketch book using Lawn Fawn's "The Bright Side" collection.

You should be able to click on the photo to see it more closely. 
LOVE that background paper!  
FYI: I scrap BOYS and this paper collection is cute for them too.
Decided I was going bold and use flowers on one of their LO's too!  

All papers and stickers from Lawn Fawn's "The Bright Side" collection.

Christmas 2008 LO#2

Hello.

Today I am sharing a Christmas layout for 2008.

I used Allison Davis' Sketchbook volume 6 for the design.

Not real crazy about the papers, but I bought the pack a

long time ago and didn't want to waste. LOVE the stickers though!

I added some liquid pearls to Santa and red Stickles to

Rudolph's nose and the peppermint candy.

This layout highlights some of our holiday traditions.

I made a different 2 page LO that has the family pics and the boys

opening and playing with their gifts.

I generally do 4 pages for each Christmas and birthday. 

The boys are 3 1/2 and 1 1/2 here.

Thanks for looking.

Christmas 2009 gets the Basic Grey "Jovial" line!  Yippee!

SI#213: Christmas LO 2008

Here's a layout using Sketch Inspiration's Sketch #213

The packages were cut out of another sheet of paper and then

I added Stickles and floss to enhance them.

I added liquid Pearls and Stickles to the sticker on the right also. 

The right side is just a collage of photos.

Here's the great sketch.  I used the presents in place of the vines and flowers on the left.

Papers:  Karen Foster and cardstock
Other:  Stickles, Liquid Pearls, floss, gems, EK scallop edge punch

Thanks for visiting.  Trying to catch up (ha ha ha) on some scrapbooking....

WM #42: scrap-a-licious entry #2

It's Scrap-a-licious

It's Scraptastic

It's Scrap-a-cool!

It's another card made from scraps! 

This is my 2nd entry into the wee Memories "Use Your Scraps" challenge #42.

I designed this card for my card class next week that I am teaching at church to 1st and 2nd graders.  I grabbed one of the leftover paper pads from doing my niece's life album (due this June when she graduates HS) and punched circles.

I have other stacks too that I think my students will enjoy with this design.

 I punched the circles and adhered them randomly, with some hanging off the edge:

Once they were dry, I cut off the edges to make it look like the circles were a part of the paper: 

 Sydney Dog came over to help with the photos:

With permission to share from her, here's a layout from my niece's album using the paper pad:

Supplies for card:

Paper: g.c.d. studios "Canta" line

Punch: 1 1/4" EK Success Paper Shaper

Stamp: Hero Arts "Everyday Sayings"

Ink: Memento, Distress Weathered Wood

Other: Baker's Twine, gem

Thanks for coming by today!

Have a wonderful!
