Layouts for Abby

I have a couple of new layouts I made for Abby's album. I used goodies from a "self made" kit using up goodies from my scrappy stash.  This always helps me to create pages more quickly.  If you haven't tried to make your own kits, you should!!  Just pick some cardstock, patterned papers, stickers, and other goodies.  For some reason, the products are more inspiring when you look at them this way than just stuffed with the rest of your scrapbooking supplies.  (See below for a pic of the kit I created.)

Here are the layouts I have made with my kit so far-

Here's the kit I created-

I challenge you to create your own kit to scrap with! Have a great weekend!

New projects

Here's a card and a couple of layouts I recently created. (Working on Christmas cards for next year! LOL) TonBow is having a great contest right now! All you have to do is create a new project or card with their products and link it back to them. I used my TomBow Aqua glue stick for this card.


Here are a couple of recent layouts-

Have a great Tuesday!

New layouts about Joshua...and a question for you

I've made a few layouts this week...all about Joshua! One is for the family album and two are for his album. I created a little "kit" out of my own scrapbooking goodies to make these pages go quickly (and they did!!)

Thanks for checking them out!!! Hope you are starting the year with some scrappy time!

Soooo...just curious if anyone is interested in some NEW sketches? Are you up to your ears in sketches already from other sites? Anyone? Let me know!!!

Layouts and projects- TSR

I got a scrappy gift for myself from The Scrapbook Room! :) They have lots of great challenges and nice ladies on the message board. (I need a good challenge to keep up on my albums or I may never get them done!) Here are some projects and layouts I completed with this month's kit from there.

New layouts

Here are a couple of new layouts I created for challenges at The Scrap Room. I've uploaded a couple of others there as well but these are my faves. They have month long challenges and I'm getting some great inspiration from the sweet ladies there.

I made both of these layouts with paper and goodies from Paper Popsicles. My favorite store that is closing in a few days. :( I hope you'll go snatch up some last minute gifts for yourself or a friend!!!!

Paper Popsicle's Guest Designer and a great deal!!

I am so lucky to get to be the guest designer for Paper Popsicles this month! Melissa sent me some wonderful Crate Christmas papers and cardstock stickers as well as other goodies such as Magic Mesh, Thickers, buttons, etc. all from the PP store. Here's what I have created so far.
A card...cut the ornament out of some really cool Crate Christmas paper.


A mini album to add a small photo from each day leading up to Christmas. I think the kids are going to really love looking at this! I will probably carry it in my diaper bag when we are out and about.

An ornament (the trim really isn't crooked like it looks here! LOL). That Magic Mesh is really fun and easy to use!I just put it on (it's self adhesive!) and trimmed around the edges.

And a couple of layouts...

If you haven't heard, Paper Popsicles will be closing up shop soon (Dec. 15) and starting something fresh in January (but I have no idea what it will be!! Make sure you follow the blog to find out!). But right NOW, you can get some awesome new kits and fabulous deals on scrappy goodies in the store. Go check it out and put in a Christmas order for yourself or someone on your list!!! I think it's 35% off of most things and 50% off of clearance!

Sketchapalooza layouts

I completed 17 of the 20 sketches in Feeling Scrappy's sketch class that just ended. Woohoo! Here are a few of them.
This one is for the family album. Sketch was by me.


Another one for the family album. This one was based on a sketch by Jayne Jones.

A page for the family album. Based on a sketch by me.

This version is for Abby's album. Based on a sketch by Tracy K., our guest designer.

New layout- My life...

This layout is for a challenge in the journaling class at Note~able. I specifically picked this photo of me to show that I rarely have time to do my hair or make up and am usually carrying Ellie around. But I completely forgot to write that in my journaling...oops!! Anyhow, this was a fun page to do and will be interesting to look back on in years to come. Most of the products here came from the Note~able store.

Hope you are having a great day!!

New sketch challenge and layout

I posted a new sketch challenge and layout over on the Note~able message board. I hope you'll join me and create a layout using this sketch. Please share if you do!!

Layouts and how-to

I posted an easy little how-to on the Feeling Scrappy blog this weekend. You can see it here-http://feelingscrappyclasses.blogspot.com/

Here are some layouts I have to share with you. This one was for the first challenge in the Noteable journaling class.


I did both of the following ones at the same time since I already had all the papers out. I also used a similar design for both which helped me get these done quickly.
The first one is for Joshua's album and the second is for Abby's.

Layout and sketch class (Win it today!!)

Here's a layout I created for a blog post on Feeling Scrappy about using a crimper. (Nope, I haven't had much time to scrap...this was made before Ellie was born! LOL)

And while we are just finishing up Simplify the Season on Feeling Scrappy, I already have Sketchapalooza on my mind. If you haven't taken one of our sketch classes before, you should consider it! You get 20 brand new sketches with samples from the design team and more variations from all of the people in the class. It's a great way to catch up and get a lot of pages completed. It starts Oct. 26th and you can read about it and register here- http://feelingscrappyclasses.blogspot.com/search/label/Classes

Sketch challenge

Need some sketchy inspiration? Here's a new one I drew up for Note~able. If you use it, be sure to share! You can post your layout on the Note~able message board under challenges. (Or at least link it up in the comments here so I can see your take on it!) I hope to get to this sketch very soon but I haven't had a chance to scrap for a while. (edited to add layout)

Happy Thursday!

Layout and some tips

Here's a layout I created using the September kit that I won from Note~able. I also just posted a tip about journaling spots on the message board. Check them out!

I hope you are having a nice weekend!

Layout and sketch

I posted a new sketch challenge on the Noteable forum. http://www.noteablekit.com/ I hope you'll join me in making a layout using it. I had fun using lots of goodies for the little blocks and circles. You could also use small photos.

This layout is for my album with pictures of Elizabeth on the day of her one month birthday. :)



Happy scrapping!
