Beautiful Little Boy

This is one of my clients' little boy.  He was adopted from Russia and as I was reading their adoption story- I was almost in tears.  It was such a sweet story, and he is one lucky little boy!

I have used the new line by Imaginisce, Childhood Memories.  I also used some very old Imaginisce chipboard stickers.  I didn't realize they were Imaginisce, I guess that's why the colors blended so well.

I LOVE Scrapbooking

This time of the year I'm always trying to catch up on my on stuff.  This year is no different! I have run into more health problems.  I have been facing a serious eye condition called MALT lymphoma...my results came back negative but in the comments it stated that I needed to be closely monitored because this type of lymphoma may come out after the inflamation stage.  So in the meantime the only thing besides my kids that are keeping me sane is a little creative therapy...

AND THANK GOD FOR CREATIVE THERAPY!!!

Jeepin- made with two different lines, but i'd be lying if I told you which papers they were.  I can always direct you at TM if you want to make this layout.

Summer Fun- was made with the Echo Park- A Perfect Summer line.  I am actually thinking of using parts of this line for my next class.  Well, maybe just the wave sheet.

Dax had a little taste of an all-star team.  Unfortunately the Survivors did not Survive! LOL but my husband got some awesome pics of my little man playing!

Pier Pleasure- we had fun hanging out at one of the piers in Destin this past summer.  Dax enjoyed all the cut-outs, he made us take pictures in all of them!  I used the I Heart Summer collection by Simple Stories.

 One of my favorite lines- The Bo Bunny Summer collection.  I kinda used parts of the same idea that I used for the Summer 2014 Kitz Girlz.  Yep we sold all 60 of those kits!  I hope everyone that purchased them loved them as much as I did!  We have been talking about our next Kitz Girlz, and we are thinking a school kit! Can't wait.

Well, until I get a chance to do a few more layouts, I hope these layouts will inspire you to make a few.  Please feel free to use my designs for your own personal scrapbooking.  

And please, if you think about it...say a little prayer for me that all comes out good with my eye.  I had trouble with the other one several years ago and just started getting use to what I was seeing and now this! I WANT to catch a break! :)

Beach Bums

New Summer Line that is totally awesome whether you scrap for boys or girls...as you can see I have both in these pics.  Was so happy the colors went so well with my pictures!

I am so behind- I have atleast 5 more beach layouts to create and we will be going back soon!

OLD Schooling...

I never take pictures of layouts that I do for customers, mainly because sometimes my work for customers is not as elaborate as my personal scrapping.  Customers that are not scrappers are not really into all the embellishments that we use.  They want more pictures and less embellishments, which in a way has been refreshing to me to get back to some "old school" scrapping. FLAT LAYOUTS, that fit nicely in albums!

These pictures stink- I know that, but to quickly get them on here, I just took pics in book, sent to email and didn't even crop them. So excuse my photo abilities!  Just wanted to show you a little of my customer work.

PS...if you know these people keep your lips locked.  This is an anniversary gift for a wife.  How sweet is this man!

Okay, I had to restart my computer to get my edited pictures to come up...crazy! Anyways, here is the layout.  I used the Fancy Pants banners, cut circles from paper and pictures to go up the side of the banners and used lots of twine.  This is the Fancy Pants paper, not sure of the line (it has whales on it).  I do plan to add some mickey head embellishments to it. I actually forgot I wanted to do that.

See the cool word Ears:  It is a new glaze pen that TM carries.  I will be using it soon in a class, they are really cool pens that give the appearance of a rub on.  I was scared to write directly onto my layout in case I didn't like the way I wrote, so I did it on a matching piece of paper and then hand-cut around it.  

Here is a close of up of the circle cluster going up the side of the banner.  Great different way to use the banners.
