Hello again everyone! Today, I'm sharing a very simple layout that I absolutely love. That picture of Zoey when she was barely 10 days-old is awww-inducing, isn't it? I can't believe I hadn't scrapbooked it yet!

I started with sketch #401 from Scrapbook Challenges, turned it on it's side, and reduced the quantity of squares. I was going to use 9 squares, but as I was going through my stash (I'm trying to use up what I have before I buy anything else!), I found this old Jillibean Soup kraft journaling tag that I absolutely wanted to use. So I made it work.

Supplies:
Papers, button, and sticker: My Mind's Eye
Journaling tag: Jillibean Soup
Tag: Maya Road
Numbers: American Crafts
Border sticker: Basic Grey
Twine: The Twinery

What a Sweet Girl

Good morning! Yesterday I worked on this layout for this month's challenge at Creative Embellishments. I had this gorgeous CE frame that I really wanted to use. I sprayed it with Bubblegum Pink Dylusions and it worked perfectly with the papers from this My Mind's Eye collection, My Girl. I love the end result!

Contagious Smile

Here's the third of four layouts I made on NSD.  I used some Scenic Route rub-ons. I said it before, and I'll say it again: Oh, SR, what happened?!  I miss you so much!

Supplies:
The Girls' Paperie Patterned Paper
KI Choices Collection (Hopeful Dotty O) - for background
American Crafts Chipboard Rockateer Thickers (black)
Fab Scraps Fabric Tape
Heidi Grace Journaling sticker
KI Chipboard circle
Scenic Route Afterthought Rub-ons
Faber Castel black artist pen

My first She Art canvas

Thanks to my awesome friend JJ, who offered me this workshop as a present, I made my first mixed media canvas.  I love her, she's going on my wall in my scrap corner!

Yes she's crooked, but I decided it's because she's swaying to the sweet music of her life ;)

Happy Girl :: October Afternoon

Good morning everyone, I'm so glad you came by to visit lil' old me!

Did you do anything for NSD? I spent the entire day scrapping with my buddies Erin and JJ. We had a lot of fun, that's for sure! I managed to get 3 layouts done, which is what I expected.

This layout, made with October Afternoon's Fly a Kite collection, was one of those layouts. These papers make me so happy!

I took a pack of 2 big Prima flowers and turned them into 3 smaller flowers (with more to be used another time.)

I used cute illustrations from the reverse side of one of the OA papers. It's not something I usually do, but I really, really like how it turned out! It's nice to try something different once in a while.


Supplies:
Papers: October Afternoon (Fly a Kite)
Rub-ons: October Afternoon (Fly a Kite)
Letters: American Crafts
Flowers: Prima
Buttons: American Crafts
Punch: Martha Stewart
Pearls: KaiserCraft
Twine: Jillibean Soup
