A Matter of Moments

I hope you've had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend filled with family, friends and food!  We have had a nice time with family, a big WIN for our high school football team who will now be playing for the state title, and even winterized our camper... so now I'm ready for bed.  But first I'll share this layout I did last week.  I'm happy to say I've gotten 18 pages done this month.  That might be all I get done with Christmas coming up, but more to come in January I'm sure!

I used Sahara Sand, black and Crushed Curry.  Kept this one fairly embellishment free with the exception of some ribbon and a few stamped images from an old stamp set called Shore Thing.  Here's the fun sketch I used from Let's Scrap:

I'll have some Christmas cards for you soon.  Have gotten 4 done recently but no time to photo yet.  Thanks for stopping by!

3...2...1...JUMP!

Just what you wanted to see, right?  Another scrapbook layout!  Well, too bad... (:P)  I'm slow as molasses and took more than a few hours to finally get rolling on this one, but once I got started it was moderately fast.  Choosing the perfect layout is always the toughest thing for me, but Let's Scrap helped make it easy again with their amazing selection of great sketches! 

I was happy to use a Simply Scrappin' Kit by SU to pull this together.  It is called Creative Lisence and is a few years old but a great one none-the-less.  I also used a few other components like the Headline Numbers stamp set, the Scribbles Swirls Sizzlit and Big Shot, and out of desperation for some bright orange letters, some ancient STICKERS!  I know!  But I still have a ton in the stash and sometimes they are just the easiest thing to grab.  The orange isn't perfectly Pumpkin Pie like the other orange in the layout but I'm OK with that. 

I hope you like my interpretation of this sketch!  It was so fun to work with.  I wasn't sure how on earth I'd manage a title page like that with all the scrolly background etc... but it all worked out with some paper piercing anda  combination of stamps and stuff.  Would you like to see another great sketch in action??  Go visit Lisa Henke HERE for her amazing layout! 

Thanks for stopping by today!  Oh wait, I almost forgot to mention, THIS LAYOUT was selected by Let's Scrap as their IOTW (Inspiration of the Week I think)- isn't that amazing?!  I can't believe it.  Might be the first honor ever for a scrapbook page by yours truly!  I've proudly displayed my new badge of honor on my sidebar.  Anyway, see ya soon!

Another scrpabook layout for you today.  I joined up with my pal Lisa Henke for a virtual scrapbook night and between making chocolate cookies with my daughter, this is the only spread I got done.  I am LOVING the sketches from Let's Scrap- they are unique and involve multiple photos which is more realistic for scrappers like me than one picture spreads.  Check them out!

I did my title with my brand new printer- was my first experiment with printing with it and I'm happy with how it turned out, although I wish I would've thought to adjust the color close to Soft Suede instead of black. 

Some of the SUO supplies I used on this one include:  Autumn Traditions DSP, circle punches, Early Espresso twine, jumbo eyelets and a few vintage brads.  Oh, the spiral punch and dotted scallop ribbon border punch too. 

Thanks for stopping by again today!  ~Kristin
