Ho! Ho! Ho! layout

My last post for the year!
I can't believe it.
But I'm ending on a fun one for sure:

 

 

 Moments like these are the best!
I don't get to scrap them very often because I'm usually the one behind the camera so I really, really love that someone thought to grab the camera and take pictures of my "racing" my daughter on the new wiggle carts we got for Christmas. So much fun!

For all of my H's on my Ho!, Ho!, Ho! title I used metallic chalk marker, on the bells I used the same in white and then for the snowflake O I used the matte white chalk marker. For the ! I used red ink pad.

 

This cute little present is from the Gifts Set 3.
I used ink pads and gold metallic marker.
Don't forget the magical touch of a few acrylic stars to really get some pop on your layout!

 

To finish up I had this super fun Spiral Bauble and used the blue metallic chalk marker with some silver for the top piece.  Then I added a bunch of the wood veneer Peppermints with just a touch of red liquid pearls to give them some more color.

I hope you have a fabulous holiday and get to spend lots of time with your loved ones doing whatever it is that makes your heart happy!
Thanks for stopping in!

Hiking layout

 Hey my scrappy friends!
Today I'm getting into nature with a fun hiking layout and a bunch of cool nature chipboard pieces from Creative Embellishments.

I had a lot of fun coloring these cool chipboard pieces for this layout.
All of the details are on the CE blog.

Thanks
Angela

Game layout

 No this is not a sports layout.
Don't be so shocked!
Occasionally I post layouts about other types of games...

 This was so much fun and I absolutely LOVE the chipboard playing cards from Creative Embellishments.
Details here.

Thanks for coming by today!

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!

Family Friends layout

 It's the 8th and that means a layout based on a fun sketch from Sketches In Thyme!

I really enjoy scrapping the photos of the every day moments, so this was a really fun layout for me to put together.

Dad layout

Hey there!
Father's day is coming up and I have a fun layout to share with you.

I enjoyed creating this layout so much!
I love the fun, goofy photo of my husband with my kids climbing all over him and that made it easy to just add elements and decorate until the layout was full of fun too.

I used lots of pieces from Creative Embellishments, including a starburst stencil for the background.
Here are a few detail photos for you:

 

Thanks so much for coming by today.
Wishing you a happy week.

Bring on the Show layout

 Hello!

Today I'm sharing a challenge layout from Scrap Our Stash.
The challenge was to creat a layout with 3 or more alphas.

 

 

I think, in total, I ended up using 4 different alphas on this page.
These photos are from when my older daughter used a box to create a stage or tv for her and her little brother to put on a paper puppet play for us.

They had so much fun spending the time together!

Home layout

 Wow, I can't believe we're in November already.
Really hoping to see some things change going forward and I'm excited for what the future holds.
Today I'm sharing a layout about people I'm thankful for, my family.
Here's the challenge from Scrap Our Stash:

Here is my layout:

 

I love this big bunch of crazies and I love that they're mine. They are so much fun to spend time with. We always end up with so many fun and silly family photos, with so much personality in every one.
Here are some closeups so you can see how I incorporated the elements of the challenge:

 

 

Don't forget to play along with the challenge for your chance to win a fun prize.

Happiness Family

Hello, hello!
Today I bring you a super fun layout I made using the August Scrap Our Stash Cartoon challenge:

So the challenge is to use the cartoon as inspiration to create a family themed layout using the sketch and mixed alphas. Here is my take on the challenge:

So here's my family having some water fun and I even remembered to get some group pictures. Honestly I'm not too great at that lately.
You can see my mixed alphas and I stuck fairly close to the sketch.

Here are some closeups:

Thanks so much for swinging by!

Family w/ NAS & Bella Blvd

I can't believe this is my last layout with Nuts About Sketches!

I've been on Shawn's team numerous times over the years and used so many of her sketches. I just LOVE them. I'm super sad to see her quit using a design team, but I'm so happy she's going to keep sharing her wonderful sketches with us!

This is the layout I've created for this last sketch.

I got my whole family on this layout with these two photos from our 4th of July celebration.

So I knew Bella Blvd's Family Forever collection would be fun for this layout.

Here's the sketch. You can see that I stayed pretty close to the design.

I had fun cutting out the strips from the Bella line and then piecing them back together in different ways around my layout.

I used twine to do some hand sewing and then added some of that fun Bella chevron tape too. I used a punch for the little hearts, but hand cut the bigger ones. The stars are cut from one of the strips of the Bella paper.

This flag came from the winter flags collection but went perfectly with my page. I just added one of those fussy cut stars to it for a bit more flair.

Putting the title and journaling on this layout was really fun. I loved using all the great stickers Bella has to go with their lines to stack up a fun title. Then I took this quote they had as a pp strip, cut it into pieces and used it for my journaling.

Thanks for stopping by!
