"Boy Genius" Layout and a Frosted Designs Card

This weekend I actually got some scrappy time! Woo hoo! I completed a layout for the Sketchy Thursdays challenge and a card for the Frosted Designs card challenge.

You know how sometimes you scrap certain pictures because you're inspired to? Well, that's what I did. I took these pictures this past Wednesday when my mom, sister, and I took care of my little cousin while his mom went to a doctor's appointment. We took care of him in the lobby of the office. Landon really is a little boy genius!!

I got to use my NEW Echo Park "Little Boy" collection I just got this week just for scrapping Landon! Love it- so cutesy and boyish!

Journaling reads: "Warren and Jana recently got an iPhone, and Landon has learned to flip through pictures by sliding his little finger across the screen. He figured out he could do the same thing on Laura's Zune! Just another reason why Landon is a... boy genius."

And here's my card for the Frosted Designs card challenge! I used my new Jillibean Soup "Blossom Soup" line on this card. Jillibean Soup is one of my new favorite companies!

Using Up Some Old Stash... and Memorbelia

Howdy! I FINALLY got to scrapbook today! Woo hoo! Haven't done hardly anything scrappy all week, and my scrappy side was really calling to me!

This layout is from some pics that I've had printed for a while from our trip to the fair this September. I wanted to somehow include the ribbons I won at the fair (I entered some of my photography and crafty items into the fair). When I saw this week's Sketchy Thursdays sketch, I thought it'd be perfect to include the ribbons and tickets into!
I used a piece of My Mind's Eye paper that I've had for a loooong time and so it made me happy to finally use it up!

And I also did this for ErikaH's challenge (on ClubCK) to use a shape to journal in!  

I have some more things to share with you so stay tuned!!

Sketchy Thursdays- Nov. 3rd

I loved the Sketchy Thursdays layout sketch this past week, and I just HAD to play along! :)

I got to break out my NEW Basic Grey "Out of Print" paper along with a BoBunny Double Dots page! I loooove the BG paper, and I'm trying to make it last as long as I can!
You can click on the photo to see it bigger. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my layout!

A couple of sketchy layouts!

Hi there! I have 2 layouts to share with you today that I have made from sketches this week! 

First of all, my Sketchy Thursdays layout! I finally broke into my gorgeous Pretty Little Studio paper! Woo hoo! Love it, love it, love it.  These pictures are from my little sister's birthday shopping trip a couple of weeks ago!

 

 

And also my layout from this Frosted Designs sketch! I have always wanted to use the fold-the-edge-of-your-paper technique, and I finally did on this layout! I used mostly Echo Park products on this layout.
 

 

 

BTW, it's my 17th birthday today! Woo hoo! I have had a wonderful day today. :)

Sketchy Thursdays 9.22.11

Woo hoo! Another Sketchy Thursdays layout done for me! :) I haven't participated in the ST challeges in a couple of weeks, and I had some scrappy time tonight, so I whipped out a layout pretty quickly! I think it took less than an hour for me to do this layout!

I am still in love with my October Afternoon paper, so I used some yummy 5&Dime on this page! The background page is from who-knows-where! I got it in a prize from Club Creating Keepsakes, and it didn't have a label when I got it. I'm thinking it's from GDC Studios. I'm not positive though.

I DID use the sketch on this page, although you can barely tell it! :P Do you ever do that sometimes?? I combined the vertical sewing along with the circle element to create my focal point in the pictures. I glued strips of paper on the page, then used a CD as a mask (a reject CD, I might add) and misted the whole page in blue. Then I sewed the edges between the misted part and the un-misted part.  

Supplies: Patterned Paper: October Afternoon; Mist: Tattered Angels; Letter Thickers: American Crafts; Flowers: Prima; Brad: K&Company; Plastic Bow: Jenni Bowlin; Ribbon: American Crafts

Sketchy Thursdays 9.1.11

Here's a layout I did for this week's Sketchy Thursdays challenge! I tried to use the main colors in the photos- blue, pink, and brown. These little photo booth pictures are from waaaaay back in 2004! :O Haha. This is my lil' sis and I thought she was such a cutie in these pictures, so that's where my title came from! :) (I think she's cute NOW of course, but she's just so little in these pics!)

Supplies: Patterned Paper: American Crafts, EK Success; Thickers: American Crafts; Scalloped Punch: Fiskars; Baker's Twine: Etsy; Frames: K&Company; Mist: Smooch; Misc.: American Crafts, Sasafras, The Paper Studio



Sketchy Thursdays 8.11.11

Another Sketchy Thursdays layout! I had these pictures of my friend Mecia and I thought this sketch would be PERFECT for them! Since the pictures were kinda "dressy", I used my American Crafts Dear Lizzy line. Thanks for looking!


Supplies: Patterned Paper: American Crafts; Solid Cardstock: Reminisce; Stickers: American Crafts; Thickers: American Crafts; Scallop Punch: Fiskars; Circle Diecut: Cricut "George" cartridge; Mist: Smooch

Can you tell I'm in love with mist?! Another thing I love is stitching, but I accidently messed up our sewing machine, so we're gonna have to get it fixed... :S

Sketchy Thursdays Layout 8.4.11

Hello again! I told you that I'd be sharing another project with the beautiful Stella & Rose line from My Mind's Eye and here it is! I used this week's Sketchy Thursdays sketch to make my page. I have just gotten this paper probably about a month ago so I have kinda been saving it for something special! And now since I have gotten over my "fear" of messing it up, I'm using it! After all, I mean, it's just PAPER! I can always get more... Have a great weekend, everyone!!
Supplies: Patterned Paper: Cosmo Cricket (ledger), My Mind's Eye; Letter Stickers: American Crafts; Brads: American Crafts; Notebook Edge: BoBunny; Spray Ink: Smooch; Flower: Prima; Other: date chipboard piece, pom-pom trim

Oh- another thing... I usually don't put quotes on my pages. I usually like to write out my journaling. But on this particular page, I didn't have anything to really "say," so I just used my favorite quote I have about friends. And I really like it! Something that's out of my comfort zone, but slowly getting INTO my comfort zone. :P

7.28.11 Sketchy Thursdays Layout

I did another Sketchy Thursdays layout! For this page, I used my Cosmo Cricket "Material Girl" paper and coordinating chipboard, and I'm not so sure I like how it all blends together. I think it needed a little bit more contrast! :O Oh well- it's done now! These pictures are of my little sister. She has finally gotten to the point that she will let me have a photo shoot with her and not complain! Yay for her! :) Thanks for looking--

Supplies: Patterned Paper: Cosmo Cricket, Chipboard: Cosmo Cricket, Adhesive: Ranger, Mist: Tattered Angels, Brads: Michael's
