The Best Days Are With You

OOH LA LA.... When Pat at Urban Scrapbook gave me this new line from Carta Bella I was pretty excited. My first idea was a picture of Daisy because of the pink poodle theme of the paper. But then I saw the photo of Ryan and Ashley and I thought, they look so cute with those pink hearts, I couldn't resist scrapping this photo of them again, it just seemed to fit. Now for some inspiration...the sketch at Stuck On U Sketches was so cute and again...a perfect fit for the paper and photo! Just a winning combination all around! I hope you all are having a wonderful summer day!!

Thanks so much for stopping by. I love reading your comments and I appreciate your scrappy support! Have a wonderfully happy scrappy day! Lynn

Kite Day

One day in the fall at the lake the kids decided they wanted to fly kites. They drove a half an hour to the nearest town and came home with three really cute kites. It was the perfect windy day. They were running back and forth to the lake trying to get their kites in the air. It was a really nice day that we spent together. It reminded me of when they were little and we would go out in the field and play. It`s nice to see that even in your twenties you can be a kid again. Now.... how this layout came about.

On my last trip to Urban Scrapbook, I was yet again challenged to use a collection I have never used before. Pat gave me the added challenge of working with vellum. Well...I combined the sketch at Stuck On U Sketches with this fun paper and this is what I came up with. Vellum flowers are just too much fun to make!! Thanks for the challenge Pat!!

Wooohoooo I made the Top 15!!

This is just too much fun! I just made the Top 15 at Practical Scrappers . This is my new layout for the next round. It's your support and votes that are keeping in this competition, so once again I'm going to ask ( I know I'm getting to be a pain, lol) for you to take a moment if you can and stop by and vote! The link to vote is http://www.practicalscrappers.com/2012/01/3rd-round-layout-contest-vote-here.html  Our challenge was to use these beautiful photos of quilts. I chose the design of the quilt rather than the color.

I got the inspiration from the sketch at Stuck on U Sketches which to me had a quilt feel to it and the title inspiration came from the challenge at Bird Is The Word.

Supplies: Creative Imaginations, My Minds Eye Paris & Co, Michaels Ribbon, Misc. Buttons, Dusty Attic Chipboard, ColorBok Vellum Quotes, Prima Flowers, Prima Resist Canvas, Tim Holtz Distress Ink Walnut & Frayed Burlap, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist, Partridge in a pear tree.

Imagine the Possibilities

This layout is for a challenge at Color Combo Galore. The inspiration was to document your goals for the New Year. My hidden journaling talks about my goals and what I want to learn as well in the New Year. As soon as I saw the photo my eye was drawn to the clock. It seems that time is ticking away so quickly some days. I stenciled a clock on my layout and also used a chipboard clock to remind me to slow down and  relax and enjoy life more often. I loved the soft color scheme of this and really loved using that burst of champagne.

I used this sketch from Stuck On U Sketches to inspire my design. It's a New Year, so let's see if I can attain the goals I've set for myself.

The challenge at Scrapbookers Anonymous is to use ink, mist or paint on your project. I misted my flowers, I masked and inked the clocks, I inked around my papers. I misted and inked the doily. I'm on a mist and ink craze right now I guess you would say, lol

Have a Holly Jolly Christmas

"Have a Holly Jolly Christmas"...la la la. This layout is of my family just a few days ago on Christmas Eve. We love to take goofy photos by the tree. If I can get them to take one serious one I'm lucky. Ryan had just opened his Colts hoodie and hat so there was no way he was trading that for a Santa hat. I found the sketch at Stuck on U Sketches and I'm also entering it over at Scrap It With A Song which has a Christmas Song Challenge. I'm having so much fun scrapping this week I don't want to go back to work, lol....So I hope everyone had a Holly Jolly Christmas and here's a cheer for a Scrappy Happy New Years!

Supplies: Fancy Pants St.Nick Sugar Plum, Basic Grey Fruitcake Yuletide, Inkadinkado clear stamps, Delta Ink, Little Yellow Bicycle Clear Cuts, LYB Paper Flower Kit, Adornments Fiber

Santa Mom

This is me "Santa Mom". I was talking with my best friend Ellen the other day trying to find time to get together. She said "How come in December all my friends disappear?". We continued talking about how busy we were getting ready for Christmas. Then she adds "If all women were to go on a holiday or disappear, they would have to cancel Christmas". So I was thinking of her when I was doing this layout. I think we are all Santa Mom's!! So Merry Christmas to all the Mom's". I also am entering this in a sketch challenge at Frosted Designs and a  die cut challenge at  Stuck on You Sketches. This morning I was looking at one of my favourite sites the paper variety, and the photo challenge with the adorable puppy and his santa hat made me think of this photo my hubby took, so I just had to enter it there too. Happy Holidays my friends!

Together

I'm so in luv with Nicole and Chris' engagments photos, I think I could use them for every layout, lol. I found a sketch at stuck on u sketches that I wanted to try. I love using Basic Grey so I picked the periphery line. I did some cutting of the different papers, made some flowers which I misted and glimmered and then added some bling to dress it up. I haven't found a paper line that their photos don't go with, lol. Thanks so much my friends for stopping by and leaving your sweet and encouraging comments!
