Toothless Grin

Hello! I thought a layout not related to Christmas would be a nice break before the holidays hit. :) I need a breather before I pick myself back up and finish all the holiday plans! 

This girl wandered around for about a week with a "snaggle tooth". Then it finally fell out! I love those little toothless grins! Moxxie's cute little tooth collection was perfect for it! 

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Scrapping! :)

Senedra & Aurelia

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.

She Reads

Good morning! The cold weather has just set in around here and I'm already dreaming of beautiful summer days like this one. My daughters love climbing a big willow tree in my moms back yard in the summer and love to sit up there to read.

Good morning! I can't tell you how much I love fall! Almost as much as summer. ;) It has definitely been fall weather around here. Which has me reaching for fall type papers and I had a great picture of my youngest that just fit together so well. :)

I used Fancy Pants True Friend line, it was such a fun line to work with! Loved all the patterns on the paper that I just decided to run with it. I began fussy cutting and punching edges. I added some distressing to some. Then the fun really started! I just began to layer. 

I created some banners and tied them together with some linen thread. 

See that owl? Just the cutest, right!? :)

Then for my title I used a "brag cards" fussy cut out the flower, popped it up with some foam dots. I also added a little bit of sparkle by outlining the circle center of the flower with some Black Diamond Stickles.

I love how well it all came together! I especially love all the layers and added texture.

Every Picture Records a Little Story layout

Good morning! Today's layout that I would like to share with you is of my youngest daughter who loves any excuse to play in the rain or with her umbrella. 

I used a sheet of cardstock and layered a sheet designer paper on top. I rounded the corners on my pictures with a punch. I then used some adorable chipboard to embellish. It was PERFECT! :) Love those rain drops.

Next I popped up my picture with 3d foam dots so I could slide my tag with my journaling under it.

I also added some cute little chipboard hearts on my tag and directly to my picture.

What's the most interesting way you've done your journaling before? I'd love to hear about it in the comments!

Nuts About Sketches {Silly Faces}

Good morning! Nuts About Sketches new sketch is up and it's a fun one! 

This is my youngest daughter playing in the tub when she was about 8 months old. She has always been one to pull the funniest faces! I love them!

I cut down my designer paper by 1/2" on the side and top so it would give me a 1/4" cardstock frame all around. Lately, this has been my go to. Love the look of it. I then did a bit of ripping for the side pieces up on the top right and on the left side. Did you know that if you tear AWAY from you the core of the paper will be visible on the back side but if you tear TOWARDS you the core is visible on the front. Just a little tearing tid bit. ;) 

I went around and inked up the the edges with some Tim Holtz Pumice Stone Distress Ink and traced the edges of the SILLY in my title with black pen to make it "pop" a little.

I also did a little of bit of stitching on this layout. Love adding just little bits for texture on my layouts.

Here's a couple more close up of some the fun embellishments.

 

Make sure to swing over to Nuts About Sketches blog to see the fun sketch and the other design team members take on it, also she's got some news to share!

Nuts About Sketches {Snowflakes are... layout}

Good morning! Hope everyone had a great weekend! Nuts About Sketches has a really fun two page layout sketch. 

I only used the left side for my layout. As I was going through my stuff I came across an older line from Fancy Pants that I absolutely love and thought it was perfect for my pictures! I love when everything comes together perfectly! ;)

I started out by inking up the edges of my paper and my pictures. I adhered my pictures and added some 3D-Dots to the middle picture to add some dimension to the layout. Next I added a cute heart sticker from the sticker sheet and and layered another sticker on top of the heart using some more 3D-dots and some brads on ends.

I then cut along the curves on another sheet and did some inking and distressing on them. Using it for my title.

Now for my favorite part! I added some Crystal Stickles to the snowflakes to make them shine.  Then I did some paper piercing and stitching into circles. Love how cute they turned out. :)

Make sure to check out the other layouts created by the other Nuts About Sketches design team members! Always great inspiration!
