MFT Scrap Sketch #3!

Hi there!  It's MFT Scrap Sketch time and this month we have two awesome scrap sketches for you to play with!  I used the traditional sketch (vs. Project Life sketch) and finished a couple more pages in my December Memories Album.  

Head on over to the MFT Blog for a link to each designer.

I did a two page layout for my December Memories Album.  The pages are approximately 6 3/8" x 8 1/2".  All of the patterned papers are Echo Park This & That Christmas.  The base layer is Kraft cardstock.

Last weekend my family had an early Christmas dinner at my Mom and Dad's house because we are all going in different directions on Christmas.  There were no presents involved, just time to eat and be together.  My cousin's girls LOVE my girls (and vice versa) and all four of them happily sat together so I could snap a few photos with my phone.

Here is the full two page layout.  The scrap sketch for this month is the page on the left.

Here is Scrap Sketch 3 all on its own.  I used Laina Lamb's two new sets, Document It: Captured Memories and Journal It: Graph Paper Notes.  The journaling card is stamped with the Graph Paper stamp.  The Die-namics I used are High Rise Uppercase Alphabet and High Rise Lowercase Alpha for the glitter letters, Mini Tab Foursome for the "my fave" on the side of the picture and Fishtail Flags STAX.

Here is a less blurry photo of the left page. (it was a very grey day here).  The journaling was done on my computer.

Here is a close up of the right page.  I just love these stamps from Document It: Captured Memories.  They are so fun.  The Die-namics I used here are Circle STAX and Sentiment Strips.

I printed the girls' name on the computer, then stamped them with the Graph Paper stamp from Journal It: Graph Paper Notes and cut them out with the Mini Wavy Pennants.

The Die-namics I used:

MFTeasers: Day Two!

Hi there!  Welcome to day two of teasers from My Favorite Things!  Today we are introducing two new sets from the Laina Lamb Line:  Journal It: Graph Paper Notes and Document It: Captured Memories.

Head on over to the MFT Blog for a link to each designer.

Well, it's official.  I have jumped on the December Daily bandwagon. I love to see how other crafters document their month.  However, I have named mine December MEMORIES, knowing FULL WELL I will not do something daily.  It's just not in me!  I plan on highlighting all the fun things we do this month.  I've only gotten as far as the cover of the album, so here goes:

I stamped on the Kraft portion of my Simple Stories SN@P album with the Darling Dots Background set using white craft ink.  "December" was cut with the High Rise Upper and Lowercase Die-namics.  The first three letters were adhered to an Award Seal Die-namics and was layered on the new Snowflake Doily Die-namics. The numbers were cut with By the Numbers Die-namics.  The word "memories" was cut using my Silhouette machine.  

Oh, and I also added a Dainty Bow to the new Snowflake Doily. 

Here are some elements from both new sets:  Journal It: Graph Paper Notes and Document It: Captured Memories.  Also making an appearance are the new Mini Double Dot Border and Insert It Instaframe Die-namics.  The Instaframe is empty now, but will house a picture of my girls as soon as I get one taken!  Ha!

"Captured Memories" is from Document It: Captured Memories.  It was cut out with the File Tab Die-namics.  The Holly Berry dies are from the Jumbo Christmas Stocking Die-namics.

And here is one more angle of the entire front:

The Die-namics I used to create the album cover:
