Class Picture

Hello and wow I can't believe there is one more day left in the month! If you haven't figured it out yet, I have been playing catch-up with some of my scrap booking layouts. This particular picture has been sitting out for over a week while I try and figure out just what to do with it! The problem is that it is huge. It takes up almost an entire page. It gets worse, I have 4 more just like it! LOL

I finally decided on a monochromatic look. I think it came out pretty nice!

DP - Cloud 9 Designs

CS - Bazzill

Die Cut - Sizzix

Border Punch - Martha Stewart

Bling - Basic Grey

Flower - Petaloo

Misc ribbon, brad and buttons

Working Hard!

Sorry it has been awhile since I posted. Sometimes family emergencies take precedence. But I am back and I made this super simple and fast layout. At least it was quick and easy until I had to figure out just the right way to place the title! I really love these colors. All the card stock and DP is from DCWV. The brads and title are both Basic Grey. Thanks for looking!!

More Basic Grey....

I made this layout using my most favorite paper ever, Basic Grey. This is all from the Hopscotch line.
The blue card stock I got at Tuesday Morning and I have no clue who made it but it goes with the DP!

Just Another Layout

I don't usually make too many single page layouts but lately it seems I have been making more than usual. I used the Lacey Labels Cricut cartridge and a new Sizzix die I got on clearance (whoot whoot) last week.  Just a simple layout, nothing too fancy!

Birthday

I have been going back and taking 8.5x11 layouts that somehow never made it into albums and creatively putting the layout onto 12x12 card stock. No changes to the layout but adding some decorative borders and maybe some more embellies to fill out the page. Until I got to this layout. I cannot even describe how bad it was (the decorative scissors are a clue). I probably made this layout almost 10 yrs ago and there wasn't much available except gel pens, decorative scissors, flat stickers. Need I say more. I carefully peeled the photos and the their mats off and started fresh. Here is the new and improved layout (notice I didn't take a picture of the bad version). Enjoy and thanks for looking!

Another Easter

Happy Friday! Here is another Easter layout. I don't know if it's the winter gloom but I have been working on catching up on some old pictures and they all just happen to be Easter. I actually made this layout last April and put it away in an Iris case with a bunch of other layouts. I forgot all about it and I found it the other day. These pictures just happen to fit on it perfectly! The stamps are from Stampin Up! ande the bulk of the paper and the cs is from the Paper Source (except for the purple butterfly DP. I have no clue whose paper that is!).

Easter

Happy Wednesday! I am still working on catching up my scrapbooks. I don't know who made the papers on this LO. I received the paper in a secret sister swap last Spring. I made the flowers when I made the flowers (a lot of them actually) when I had a lot of spare time on my hands last April. I was at least able to put them to good use on this LO and some wide borders!

First Home

Here is another layout for my favorite swap on SCS. The theme was "New Beginnings." My secret sister sent me pictures of the first house her and her husband had bought. I left some room on the die cut for her to do her own journaling. I hope she likes it!

Santa

I found a new challenge glog (well, new for me anyway) - Creative Scrappers. I made this layout using their sketch #189. I have had this picture sitting in my kitchen for over a month and it was time to either move to the basement with all my other scrap stuff or scrap it. I decided to scrap it! All the paper and embellishments are atd's Jack Frost collection. The title is from EK Success. Thanks for looking!
