The Best Things in Life layout

Morning everyone!
Today I'm sharing a layout of my son from a fall photo shoot.

 

Every now and then I get busy scrapping along and add a tag to something that I want to put extra special journaling on, but wait until later to do the journaling. That is the case here.
I forgot and took the photos before remembering to add the journaling to the little card behind the photo. lol

 

So here I have a chipboard heart from this fun little pack where many of the Hearts will nest inside of the others. I really enjoy all the different sizes that come with the set.
I've layered some of my favorite acrylic Red Hearts with it.

 

 

 Here you can see I started my title with the base of 2 nested hearts then added The Best Thinks in Life title over the top. To spruce it up a bit I added some Heart Clusters that are wood veneer.
Everything is colored with ink pads or markers.

Thanks!

Capture Memories layout

Hello my friends.
Time for me to share my layout with you.

I really love how this turned out.
I picked some pretty simple photos of my daughter working on a sewing project but with the right embellishments, you get a pretty awesome layout.

So on my title I used 2 words from the Small Moments Border Words set. I used an ink pad to add a bit of color to them and attached them with glue dots.
The acorn is wood veneer from the Acorns set. I used an ink pad on this too, but with a darker color. The chipboard and wood absorb the ink differently so sometimes I test it out on the back before applying to the front.

This fun little pumpkin is from the Pumpkins set. It has 3 in it.
I used various different colored ink pads here and you can see that some absorbed more than others.

 

This piece is from the Pumpkin Corners set.
I just LOVE how it turned out.
And of course the finishing touch is adding the awesome acrylic Red Leaves here and there to really set off my embellishment clusters and tie the page together.

Thanks for stopping by!
I hope you're having a wonderful fall.

Happy layout

 Hello and happy November to you all!
Today I'm sharing a birthday layout.
In my family we have a couple of birthdays in November so I always have a lot of photos of present opening this time of year.
This layout, however is about my daughter making cupcakes for her birthday.

So for this cute layout I used a sketch by Rochelle Spears and the first thing that grabbed me was the banner in the corner. I knew the Happy Banner from the Birthday Fun wood veneer set would be perfect for this layout.
I also used the cute little party hat over the photo of cupcakes.

For all of these pieces I used markers to color and add details.

These fun candles are from the Birthday Candles chipboard set and my Happy Birthday is from the Small Sentiment Words set.
I used markers to color these too and to add the polka-dots to the candles.

I hope you have lots of fun family time this month and time to scrap a few of those moments too.

Creepy layout

Hello and welcome back!

We recently replaced the carpet in one of our rooms and we decided to have a little fun after pulling out the old carpet, before the installer came.
He didn't say anything so maybe this is normal?

 

 

 I have a LOT of chipboard pieces on this layout.
One of my favs is the spider crawling up over the skull.
All of the details on are the Creative Embellishments blog.

Thanks for enjoying my favorite holiday with me!

Sophomore layout

 Hello, hello!
I hope you've been enjoying some scrappy endeavors lately.
Today I'm sharing a back to school layout based on a sketch from Sketches In Thyme.

I'm positive I will use this sketch again.

Family layout

 I have another layout based on a Scrap Our Stash challenge for you today:

Using the sketch and faux stitching based on the challenge really made this layout fun to make.
I used the faux stitching around the outer edge of the layout and around the patterned paper pieces and photos. It turned out really cute.

Thanks so much for checking out my layout!

Pumpkin Patch layout

 Hello
November already.
I'm really going to miss October, but that does mean we have a new challenge to share with you today.
From Scrap Our Stash, I created this layout for it:

 

Using the fall colors from the challenge and adding some leaves I made this fun layout of my little guy with the pumpkin he picked at the patch when he was able to go with his school class. He had so much fun and LOVED his pumpkin.

Thanks for joining me today.
I hope you have fun creating with this challenge too.

Moments layout

Fall days are perfect for some sibling time on the trampoline.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Pumpkin layout

 

 I created this layout for the challenge at Scrap Our Stash

 

My tools were a border punch for the paper border around the outer edge of the layout and then a nail file for matte of my photo.

Thanks for looking!

Cute lil Pumpkins layout

 Halfway through November already. Crazy how fast time goes.
Today I have this lovely sketch challenge from Scrap Our Stash to share:

 

The twist is to add a fall embellishment. 

I went with a simple fall layout for this challenge and found some really fun embellishments in my stash to go along with it. My journaling is on the tag inside the pocket. Adding the cork pumpkin to the flower on the pocket was a fun finishing touch to the layout for me, along with the fall colored sequins.

Thanks for stopping by!

And we love jumping layout

 Hello October!
I'm not really a big fall weather fan but I have to admit I LOVE fall for Halloween.
Hands down best holiday ever!!
So while I'm a bit bummed about the changing of the leaves and the more than crispness in the air, I do very much look forward to the 31st.

Today I bring you a fun fall layout to go along with our first challenge of the month from Scrap Our Stash.
Here is the challenge:

And here is my layout:

 

 The mood board inspired me to go with these fun photos of my kids jumping on the trampoline with all the brightly colored leaves on the trees in the background.

 From there I picked out an older kit that had some similar colors to the pallet in the mood board and I loved that it had all the wooden elements and fun leaves to go along with it. 

 

 Thanks so much for stopping by today and don't forget to share your take on this challenge on the Scrap Our Stash blog for a chance to win a fun prize!

Big Sisters are Awesome! layout

Hello!

Today I have a fun fall layout for you.

I used a sketch challenge from Scrap Our Stash for this layout. 

Here's the challenge:

And here is my layout:

Inspired by the challenge I made a layout of my kids playing together on a Saturday. It's fun to watch them work and play right? They raked all of these leaves out of the neighbors yard and brought them into ours to have fun with. lol

I stuck fairly close to the layout by doing lots of patterned paper layers.

I tried to give the impression of flying leaves by using the leaf stickers around the final photo in my photo sequence.

Using a long title is hard for me sometimes but I really like the way this one turned out and it tells you a lot about the photos in a quick glance. I also used my fruit embellishment here, an apple.

Make sure you play along with our challenge and enter yours on the Scrap Our Stash blog for a chance to win this month's prize!

Pumpkin Walk layout

Hey there!

I have another fun fall/Halloween layout for you today.

I used this challenge from Scrap Our Stash:

Here's my layout:

 I used the right side of the sketch but used larger photos so I have 4 instead of 6. My tag and twine are in the bottom right hand corner and my tab is in the top left.

Here are a few closeups:

I used washi tape as one of my layers along the bottom and then clustered some fun stickers in the corner with my tag.

I let my photo be my title and added the tab & date along with the cute stickers above the photo to help bring the eye to it.

I used ink around the edges of my patterned papers but let the rest of the layout be pretty clean.

Peace amidst Chaos

Do you ever find yourself searching for a little peace amidst the chaos?
That is exactly what I thought of when I saw this scene on our trampoline. These kiddos make me smile on a daily basis.

They are my Peace and my Chaos. :)

I created this layout to go with this month's sketch challenge from Scrap Our Stash.

Along with the sketch you need to use one item on your layout for each letter of the word LEAF. I used: L- leaves wooden, E- Echo Park stickers, A- Autumn colors, F- Fall collection from EP

Here's some closeups of my layout:

I love it when I think of a title that fits the moment so well and stands out like this one.

 

I spritzed the Love This Moment cut out to make it blend with my layout a bit better. The straight white was commanding too much attention before I did this.

I also colored some of the wooden pieces with marker.

 

This sketch had a lot of layers and I really like how they all stacked up.

Thanks for coming by!

October 31

I have some more spooky fun today!

Check out this layout:

I used a sketch from Sketch N Scrap and had so much fun with this layout. 

Here's some closeups:

I kept this one pretty simple and let a few embellishments and these awesome papers do all the work for me. With the exception of my red ink. Gotta have the ink!

Thanks for dropping in!

Crazed Pillow Pet

It's the most wonderful time of year!

Halloween time!!

I love this time of year and I love creating creepy projects. I was just telling my friend the other day that if my hands aren't stained red with ink this time of year then something is wrong. lol

So today I have a creepy fun layout for you:

This particular year my daughter dressed as a pillow pet, which was actually quite adorable, but when she pulled this goofy face on the other side of the screen door from me it actually turned out to be a spooky photo. So I went with it. 

I based my layout on the sketch from Let's Get Sketchy and used lots of products from Oriental Trading.*

I started with my base of white cardstock, then added these yummy glittery washi tapes. I picked these 2 creepy patterns from the Halloween paper for my photo accents and attached them to the background. Then I added my red ink and made some of the drips run down my page. After that it's just about the accents. This fun Halloween snap bead and eyeball charm are both from Oriental Trading.*

I added another eye charm with my title and finished up with these cool black potion bottles.

I had so much fun creating this layout and just love the creepy feel it gives off. 

Thanks for joining me today!

:)Ange

*Oriental Trading sent me products to review, but all opinions are my own.

Pumpkins layout

 Hello!
I guess its time to start getting into the fall season. I have to say, altho I LOVE Halloween, I definitely miss summer when it's gone. But today I have the perfect, cute Fall layout to share with you:

My layout was based on the awesome challenge from Scrap Our Stash, called the tic-tac-toe board challenge:

You just use 3 items from the board in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal row. I started with the middle column and ended up with most of the board on my layout. So if you're looking for a challenge to start with that's easy. This is the one!

Here's a few closeups of my layout:
