The Weekend is Over!

Just a few more layouts to finish up my weekend.

I love these pictures of my niece and nephew (the older brother this time) and I like most of the layout. However, when I made the circle for the title I didn't match it up very well with the green on the background. It bothers me quite a bit and I just don't know if I can stand it! Also, I forgot to put the date on this so I need to add that as well.

I love this layout! It is a picture of my niece's first Happy Meal. I never ever do 1 picture layouts but I only had 1 picture of this 'event' so I got to do something a little different.

I titled it Oh So Happy using Pooh Font Set and Designer's Calendar. I made the french fries from Locker Talk and I modified the M on the front from Birthday Cakes (I think). It was the closest to the golden arches as I could find. I also stitched using some twine and my Sew Easy. Now that I have the hang of it, I absolutely love it! It just adds some great dimension to layouts. I have a Sew Ribbon on the way and I can't wait to give it a try as well!

With Christmas just around the corner, I wonder how much I will get to scrap. Next weekend is going to be filled with copious amounts of cookie baking and I am going to try my hand at fudge as well! I do want to spend some time in Crafty World so hopefully I will squeeze in some time.

Long weekend = Crafty time!

Since I got an extra day off this weekend, I was able to find some time to craft! I completed a few layouts that I wanted to share and I am almost finished with another!

I love how this one turned out! It's from my cousin's wedding on New Years Eve/Day. She kept calling it a marrying party and that was the inspiration for my title, which was cut from Lyrical Letters. I also used chipboard (or a wheat thins box!) and popped up the "marrying" which I think gives it a nice effect. I used tulle for the bow and made a cute pinwheel flower thingy out of the zebra paper picking up the zebra in my sister's tank top. I am wearing a pink tank that you can barely see but it matches the bright pink on the layout.

And I have another Christmas layout that is the complete opposite of this one!

I used Designer's Calendar, Winter Frolic and Opposites Attract on this one. I like the muted color pallette of the papers and the simplicity of it.
I am nearly finished with another Christmas layout--then I only have one more left (for 2010).
