Jump - Sketchabilities #107

Here's a layout using an old picture of Kira (from 2011). She was learning how to jump rope and I was jealous of the look of her hair here (I mean, c'mon, I don't even have a quarter that much hair on my head!!)

I took inspiration from sketch #107 on Sketchabilities.

Papers are from BasicGrey;
Die cuts from October Afternoon;
Wood veneer from Studio Calico;
Tags from Chic Tags.

You Make It All Worthwhile

I love Lily Bee. Their collection packs are full of beautiful papers, and I love that they have multiple colours so that all layouts don't end up looking the same.

I made this layout with the Picket Fence collection. I love the red, blue, and green combo. But my favorite part? The touch of purple! Unexpected, but it totally works!

These pictures of Zoey playing with her toy cell phone (in March 2012) always bring a smile to my face. I mean, look at those cheeks!

Supplies:
Papers and stickers: Lily Bee (Picket Fence)

Movie Date

Back in November 2010, I was asked out on a date by a wonderful little boy.  He wanted to go see "Yogi Bear" alone with his mommy.  No daddy and no sister.  Just mommy.  So we went, and we had a great time!  Here's the layout:

I made this for Practical Scrappers' Ten things to do with kraft paper. I used Jillibean Soups's kraft tags to make a fun background.  Make sure to check out what the other designers came up with!

At Play

Hello everyone, how are you doing? It's a new year, here's a new layout for you! Well, actually, I made this about a month ago, but it's new-to-you :)

This all started with me wanting to use my Dylusion mists and the cloud stencil I had in my stash.  Cut them out, used some old-but-still-gorgeous American Crafts papers, and then I just had to embellish!

Supplies:
Bazzill cardstock
American Crafts patterned paper
TWC stencil
Rangers Dylusion mist
Simple Stories stickers
My Mind's Eye stickers
American Crafts letters
Kaiser Craft letters
Pop dots
Buttons

Bowties Are Cool

Here is a layout I made back in September at an all-day crop.  It's a layout about Sean's first day of 3rd grade.  I can't believe I'm already the mother of a third grader! For my non-Whovian friends, the title references Doctor Who (I know, shocker!)

Papers: Authentique
Letters: October Afternoon

Stickers: Scrap Within Reach
Twine: The Twinery
Washi tape: Bella Blvd and DeSerres
Mist: Dylusions

Fish Food & Pearls

Hello everyone!  Here's a layout about an awesome quote by Kira :)

Quote reads: "What do fish eat? Oh yeah, fish food! What do clams eat? Oh yeah, pearls!"

I used Lily Bee's Memorandum collection and twine from The Twinery.  And how did I ever scrap without my Dylusions sprays?!
