The Cut Shoppe And Creative Scrappers Team Up Layout And Sketch

Happy Sunday everyone! Today the design team members from Creative Scrappers and The Cut Shoppe are teaming up and creating with the Creative Scrappers Sketch #276.

It has been a very long time since I have created a baby layout but the photo spoke to me of my eldest son holding my youngest son, his baby brother. They are 15 years apart in age. I had the perfect papers from the Webster's Pages Hello World Collection by Alison Kreft Designs.  I especially love the soft colors, the little onesies, the hot air balloons and the cute foxes in this collection. 

 Here are a few more closeups of my page

Creative Scrappers  has provided the Sketch #276

For the digital cut files, I used the Captured On Camera Cut Files for the word "click" and "smile" from The Cut Shoppe.

and some Love Notes Printables from The Cut Shoppe

Also, if you link up at Creative Scrappers from now until the end of August  using Sketch #276, there is a chance to win a $20 gift certificate from The Cut Shoppe.  How cool is that?  Lots of cut files to choose from.

The cut files and print and cut files are available in The Cut Shoppe Etsy Store and also many more designs so come and check them out.

Thanks for stopping by and have a creative day! Hugs and smiles!

Guest Designer At Boys Rule Scrapbook Kits

Hello scrappy friends!  I hope you had a nice weekend.  Today I am sharing my third layout for the Boys Rule Scrapbook Kits as I am honored to be guest designer for January and February using their fabulous January/February kit.  They are awesome kits that are perfect for boys and masculine layouts.  Here is my layout:

The only things I used from my stash was a black pen, some white acrylic paint and a texture stamp and black ink for the chipboard skateboarder as well as a digital cutting file for my Silhouette Cameo courtesy of Nicole Nowosad.  This layout was inspired by a sketch by Allison Davis and the photos are courtesy of my friend Stephanie at Rockwood Photography.

Thanks for stopping by and have an awesome day!

Stuck?! Sketches February 1, 2014 Sketch And Boys Rule Scrapbook Kits

Happy Saturday!  Today at Stuck?! Sketches there is another awesome sketch by the talented Laura Whitaker.  This is also my second layout as a guest designer for Boys Rule Scrapbook Kits and I am having a blast creating with the January/February kit.  It's chock full of masculine papers, stickers and all sort of goodies.  The only thing from my stash was some twine, mists for the ink dots and a pen to make the faux stitching.  The circle die cut behind the photos if a digital file from Nicole Nowosad and the tags are a Silhouette file.

Here is the sketch that inspired this layout.

Thanks for stopping by and visiting.  Have a great day and do what you love!

Guest Designer At Boys Rule Kits

Hello scrappy friends.  I am honored to be asked to be a guest designer at Boys Rule Scrapbook Kits for January and February.  If you aren't familiar with these kits, they are exclusively put together to scrapbook masculine layouts.  This is my first of four layouts using the Boys Rule January/February 2014 kit and I really enjoyed creating with it.  It has some really cute stickers, overlays, arrows, chipboard and puffy hearts and arrows.  Here is the first layout I created of a family friend's adorable four year old son.

I really like color and this one has lots of bright colors.  The only thing I used from my stash was a white piece of card stock, and some Tim Holtz Distress Paints and a texture stamp for some more interest.

The photos are courtesy of Rockwood Photography and this layout was inspired by a sketch designed by Sue Sykes for the Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine Sketchy Challenge for January 2014.

Thanks for visiting my blog and I hope you have a wonderful day doing what you love.

A Layout On This Hot Summer Day

There's No Place Like Home 

I love home and it's no secret that I am very much a home person.  Home gives me a smile and I thought I would create a different layout from what I am used to creating. It has some fussy cutting and I got to try out my new Ribbons And Rosettes Cricut Cartridge. Yes, the rosette is a bit large, but I decided to use it anyways.  This was made from Webster's Pages Spring Market Collection and I thought it had that homemade feel to it.

Have a great day!
