Hello Beautiful

Hello! I can't believe 2 years have gone by since I took this picture with my girls. I'm always hiding from the camera but I've been working a little more on getting into more pictures with my girls. I loved this collection the moment I saw it. So cute and I felt went well with my picture.

Thanks for stopping by. Happy scrapping! :)

Good morning! I can't even tell you how much I love these two faces! My middle child and her adorable cousin. They are so cute. 

I fussy cut out the doily and rose from a sheet and tucked it behind the corner of the picture. 

I love layering embellishments. The clusters I think add interest to a layout.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy scrapping! :)

{Sketches in Thyme} Fall is in the Air

Here is my take on Sketches in Thyme new sketch #249!

I did change it up a bit by doing blocks instead of the cute dovetails. But I love how it all turned out. Here's some close up's.

Such a fun sketch to play with. Make sure to check it out at

Beautiful

Hello! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! Photo Plays Jullie Nutting Belle Vie Collection! It's just such a soft and elegant line to me. It was perfect for these pictures that I took of my youngest daughter. I just adore the pretty little face. She has incredibly beautiful eyes (actually all 3 of my daughters do!) and just the cutest splattering of freckles across her nose. I love taking close up's of her. 

For this layout I used a sketch from My Creative Sketches. 

I was able to use everything from the collection for this layout with the exception of a little grey cardstock and some inking I did around the edges of things. Here's a few close up's.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a scrappy day! :)

Brrrr...

Nothing like going sledding on a cold January day! We went sledding down Old Main Hill up at the USU campus. The funny part was that we didn't have sleds and the girls just went sliding down on their bums! lol 

 For this layout I followed this sketch from Scrapbook Circle and combined it with a challenge from Paper Issues.

I love a sketch that inspires me to try something new, I loved those diamonds! Definitely something a little different from my normal style.

My favorite is the foam glitter covered 'BRR'. I love a little bit sparkle. ;)

Thanks for stopping by, have a scrappy day! ;)

Scrap With Us {Merry Christmas Layout & Challenge}

Good morning! It's been sooooo cold around here! Perfect weather for scrapbooking and staying in with some hot chocolate and lots of fun scrapbooking supplies. So to give you a little extra incentive to get scrapbooking I have a fun challenge (actually a total of 4 challenges!) for you over at Scrap With Us along with an awesome prize! Read more about it on the blog- HERE.

The cold weather here was my inspiration for this challenge. We had some beautiful snow for Thanksgiving and it was followed by a nasty cold snap. The only good thing about this cold snap is the gorgeous frost on the trees. So much sparkle! :) So my challenge to you is to create a layout with some SPARKLE to it! You can use Stickles, sequins, glitter, glittery washi tape, etc. Anything that will add a little sparkle. :) 

I used Moxxie's new line, Season's Greetings. I just LOVE the colors and those adorable deer along the bottom. For my sparkles I used Stickles and sequins. 

Here's a little close up of some of the sparkle. :)

Now go check out all the fun challenges at Scrap With Us!

Layout {Bath Time}

Hello! The layout I have today coincides with the layout I did a few days ago I created the layouts together so they could go side by side in my album. I used the same designer papers on both layouts to help tie them together and I found an older sketch from PageMaps- HERE, that worked perfectly with my picture.

I had fun stitching these circles. The circles make me think of bubbles in the tub. :) I used We R Memory Keepers Sew Easy Circle Tool with a straight stitch attachment. Love how they turned out. I also added some Heidi Swapp Epherma hearts. I also sponged some Tim Holz Pumice Stone distress ink all around the edges of my bits and pieces of paper I used on this layout.

I also used a Martha Stewart punch to create the fun scalloped borders. I love how cute this punch is, it just adds a nice soft touch.

Then for my title I used Amy Tangerine Thickers- Match and some Fancy Pants Pink large Alphas. I felt like the pink alphas got lost in my pink cardstock so I decided to outline them with a black pen to make them stand out a bit more.

Here's another look at my final layout. :)

 Just love that adorable face of my youngest! If you missed the previous post make sure to check it out HERE, more cute pictures of this adorable girl!

Nuts About Sketches {Made from Scratch!}

Good morning! How was your weekend? I had a great scrappy weekend and have got some fun layouts done. This one I did using this Nuts About Sketches sketch. I chose to only do the left side of the sketch, Yes! You can totally do that! ;)

As I dug through some old pictures I found some that would work perfectly with this sketch. They are pictures of one of my youngest sisters with my youngest daughter baking up a batch of No Bake Cookies. Although, I think there was a whole lot more tasting than actual baking! lol

I used one of Moxxie's lines called Bake Shoppe. Love the cute double sided punch out embellishments and the cardstock stickers that coordinate with this line. I sponged on some Tim Holtz Vintage Photo distress ink around the edges of all my paper and on the embellishments.

 

I created this banner from some of the other papers in this line and strung it with some baker's twine.

Make sure you visit Nut's About Sketches blog and check out some more amazing samples the DT members created using that this same sketch!

Moxxie {Beauty layout}

Good morning! Boy do I have a treat for you! I've been playing with Moxxie's new Springtime line it's absolutely gorgeous!! Have you seen it? Well let me show it to you!

Absolutely gorgeous! I love the colors and the whimsy-ness of it. It worked beautifully for these pictures of my youngest daughter.

I started out by punching two different borders and sponging the edges with some Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distressing Ink. I then did some folding on the green strip to create a faux ribbon.

I also did some fussy cutting for these tiny little dandelion seeds. I cut them out of another sheet of paper then layered them on this one using some 3D-Dots. I also added some Stickels to give them a bit of "bling". :)

I also added some Stickles to the rest of the white dandelions. It's a little hard to see in this picture but it really adds to it and looks beautiful. 

I absolutely love this new line! Thanks for stopping by! :)

Moxxie {New Line Blog Hop}

Hello!

Thanks so much for joining us for Moxxie's 2015 Winter Release Hop!

We are SO excited to share all of these fabulous NEW lines with you!!

While the boss is away at CHA we thought we'd show you some of the fantastic projects our amazing Muses have already created using these wonderful lines.

You will be able to hop to each muse's blog to see all the details about their project and the entire line that they used for their project. So make sure to stick around to the end to see how you can enter to win!!

The new line I chose to work with is Winery. I love the deep rich colors and the fun alpha's that coordinate with it!

I'd like to share with you the layout I did using this gorgeous line. Right after Christmas my little family and I took off to Garden City, UT (which incidentally is only about 20 minutes away from Beaver Mountain Ski resort!) for a week long break. The girls and my husband took off skiing and I got the whole place to myself. It was utterly relaxing! As I'm sure you can tell from my picture! lol I love those quiet, relaxing moments!

 

I cut down my Fine Wine  page by about 1/2" on a side and along the top so I could then matte it onto some cardstock. Before doing that I did ink up the edges of my page with some Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink (LOVE that stuff!). I then cut out some banners out of the papers in this line. Then created little swirls off to the sides using sequins and added a few Petaloo flowers.Here's a close up of the sequins & flowers.

I also did some fussy cutting of the wine glass on the cutouts and gave it some dimension with a few 3d-dots.

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you enjoyed my layout using Moxxie's GORGEOUS Winry line.

Scrap It Girl {Favorite Thing Friday: Favorite Fall Project}

Good morning! Today's Scrap It Girls Favorite Thing Friday is your Favorite Fall Project. Mine is a fall layout and I love how it turned out! I used Moxxie's new fall line- Autumn Glory. This line is absolutely gorgeous and the colors are so rich. This is my current favorite fall line!

Seriously, I don't believe pictures do this line justice. You definitely need to get your hands on this line. Here is my layout. I used some pictures of my second daughter when she was close to 18 months old (she's now 10 years old! Where did the time go!?) playing out in the leaves I was raking. 

I cut about a quarter inch off the top and side of one sheet and layered on another. Did some fussy cutting of the flowers and layered them using 3D-Dots over the ones that were there. Also did some inking with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distressing Ink around the edges of the flowers to make them "pop" a bit more.

I used the cardstock stickers that coordinate with the paper, for the title and the banners. Punched a border using a Martha Stewart punch. I love how this layout turned out. Go, stop by Scrap It Girl's blog and see some other favorites!

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Moxxie {Love}

Good Morning! I have another layout to share with you! I used Moxxie's line Autumn Glory on a previous layout and totally fell in love with the gorgeous line. If you still haven't looked at it please take a minute to check it out HERE. Here is my layout.

I just love the elegance of this line. I cut off a quarter inch off the top and side of the top sheet, did some inking with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distressing ink around the edges and layered it on top of a sheet of Doodlebug cardstock. I used some other sheets from the same line to layer the picture and create the side banners along with embossing and sanding down one the layers under the picture. Here's some close up's of some the embellishments and details.

For my journaling tag I used some 3D-Dots along the edges of the picture to pop it up and create a little slotted area for my tag to slide into.

Thanks so much for stopping by! :)
