Good morning everyone! I'm here today to share my take on S.W.A.T.'s drill #26. The theme? LOVE, of course!

I took this picture of Kira and me before I had a front facing camera on my phone. Basically, I was shooting blind. This was the best shot of both of us. Kira always complains that her face is cut in half, but I just love this picture. We look so happy!!

I'm so glad my friend Erin and I bought this Crate Paper paper pack to split. It's absolutely gorgeous! And that chipboard polaroid frame from Creative Embellishments is great, I love the size of it.

Supplies:
Papers: Crate Paper (Love Notes)
Chipboard frame: Creative Embellishments
Flair: Paper Bakery
Washi: Bella Blvd and unknown
Circle die-cuts: Elle's Studio and Chic tags
Circle embellishments: Making Memories (I know, right?!?!)
Chipboard heart: American Crafts
Letters: American Crafts and October Afternoon

Practical Scrappers February Sketch Reveal

Recently, I've been working a lot with sketches. They got me out of my funk and I started scrapbooking more and more. Sketches are a great starting point to give you some mojo. Then just add your own twist and you're good to go!

This month at Practical Scrappers, we have this wonderful sketch by Christine Meyer to get you going.

And here's my take on it:

I took this picture via Instagram in the Summer after Zoey came out of the pool. I sat on the deck, wrapped her in a towel and kept her warm in my arms.  I've made a huge effort to be in more pictures with my kids. When I'm gone, I'm sure they'll be happy to have pictures of me no matter how bad I might think I look.

As you can see, I embraced the heart theme. I used a large stencil and some Dylusions for the large heart and created 3D paper hearts.

As for this Bella Blvd collection? I love every single piece of it! It's full of happy!! So fun to work with.

Make sure you check out what else the DT has come up with, and don't forget to share your own layouts with us!

Supplies:
Papers, stickers, letters: Bella Blvd (Snapshots)
Frame: Jillibean Soup
Dylusions spray
