Fulfilled

This past Fall, I did an impromptu photo shoot with the kids. Sean and Kira had just come back from school, Zoey was happy, and it was warm enough outside. Sometimes, that's all you can ask for!

I took the picture of all 3 kids; Sean took the one of the girls, and Kira took the one of Sean & Zoey. Pretty good, right?

I am entering this in the following challenge: Fill 'Er Up from Paper Issues. Thanks for the inspiration.

Supplies:
Patterned paper: American Crafts (background) and My Mind's Eye (Adorbs)
Chipboard: American Crafts
Letters: American Crafts
Washi tape: unknown
Acetate clouds: My Little Shoebox
Dylusions mist
Distress stain

The Hats

Here's another layout I created for a sketch challenge. This one is #64 for My Scraps & More. I deviated from he sketch about a quarter through, but the inspiration is definitely there. I love this Simple Stories collection, Daily Grind.

All products are from Simple Stories (Daily Grind) except for the camera, which you can download for free at U Printables. Buttons are from my stash.

Pretty Cool!

Practical Scrappers challenged us to use some ribbon on a layout.  I don't often use them, even though I have a ton of them (like most of you, I'm sure!)  I ended up making 2 layouts, here is the first one.  I was looking for a different way to use my ribbon, so I decided to simply fold the ends and staple them.  Easy peasy!

I decided to go through my stash and use some embellishments I've had for a long time.  I used a Scenic Route arrow and Nikki Sivils' awesome burlap buttons (my favorite embellies of hers!)  I also used Maya Road journaling spots.  They were on my scrap table and it was so easy to reach for them :)
