Getting Scrappy

With my layouts that is!  I had a friend over recently and she asked me about my scrap booking habits and whether I was up to Date? I mean is anyone ever? But it got me thinking that I needed to try and catch up or at least get some layouts done while my memory of the day was fresh in my head.

So here is my most recent layouts

I made 2  seperate layouts using photos from the same outing...which was a trip to Solano Beach in San Diego county. The above layout was talking about our Summer starting 

This layout was more about me as their mom with journaling about the trip...I like how I can decide how to use my photos...the beauty of scrap booking is there are NO rules! 

Happy crafting!!!

Promised more

and here it is:

The last of the projects I created using the SIMPLE STORIES Say Cheese paper kit ---

 

12 x 12 scrapbooking layout - that is ready for you to add your photos to.

 

All the embellishments came in the kit - can you stand the cuteness

 

It screams Disney but not to childish...

 

could use your grown up pics that were taken at Disneyland...

 

Here is the other side of the above layout

 

 

Aren't the colors cool -

Love the Kraft, light blue, red and gold all mixed together.

 

The pops of black are perfect in the mix - Loving the look of these pages.

 

O.k. so I have a few more items form this pack to share so stay tuned and also if you are interested in this double sided 12 x 12 scrapbook layout then please head over to my etsy shop and pick it up.

 

Have beautiful night sleep.

BELIEVE Disney Mini album

Remember I mentioned in my last post that I made a bunch of cool little things out of that Say Cheese! paper kit - Well here is a mini 4 x 4 paper bag album - that came out super cute. The photos don't really do it justice - I think I need a new camera. 

 

 

 

The bottom page on the left I used a small photo chipboard frame with some other embellishments surrounding it to give a finished look.

 

 

 

cute right?

 

Below is another set of pages that really make this album scream *DISNEYLAND*

 

But wait there's more....

 

until next time!

Say Cheese

Ordered this kit months ago and I guess due to its popularity took forever to arrive but man once I got it - I went to town!

I made 2 back to back double sided layouts, 4 cards, 1 mini 4 x 4 paper bag album and 1 project life like chipboard album!

And I have lots left over! I'll be sharing the rest of the items I made over the next few days! The first thing I want to share is this card - that I think would be fun to give to someone who is being surprised with a Disneyland or Disney world trip!!! It's super cute and totally obvious. - what do you think?

I am linking this up to the following challenges: 

 

creative moments - anything - monochromatic

 

decorate to celebrate - anything goes with 3-d

 

inspiration destination - anything goes

 

word art Wednesday - anything goes - family friendly

Happy crafting

Lovely lace

All my kids have dream catchers in their room. When they were little it was part of our nighttime ritual - after prayers I would spin it and say "DREAM CATCHER DREAM CATHCHER CATCH ALL THEIR BAD DREAMS" now I don't have to physically spin it; just include it in prayer time! 

I figured perhaps I could create a "grown up version" of the Dream Catcher🔆 

So here's my first try....

You need some lace, ribbons beads and threads in coordinating colors. I have these metal rings that I found in my Hoard- but you could use embroidery hoops 2 for one - 😊 cool! 

Step one: wrap the ring with some lace ribbon then hot glue it down (just the end pieces...then glue small dots of the lace or doily around the ring finally add your ribbon dangles with beads - use coordinating ribbon colors and threads to finish it off! 

I think this would look amazing in different colors. Make it match your room decor! 

The possibilities are endless!
