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!

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.

Plague Doctor layout

 Hello!!
I had so much fun creating this next layout!
I love it when my kids get creative and put together their own costumes, but I love it even more when the costume is creepy, scary or spooky.
So what did my son come up with for Halloween of 2020?

What better than a Plague Doctor costume?!!
I loved every minute of this and he loved the extra treats and toys he got from some houses that also loved his clever costume.

Up first is our Plague mask; it's under Crow Skull mask on Creative Embellishments website.
I used metallic gold chalk marker and then added a little detail over the top with other markers until I like the look. I little red around the eyes never hurts. I colored the bottom and hat with black marker & then added a black acrylic skull w/ crossbones. 
Can't forget my creepy spider. I used brown mark on him with a bit of red on the pincers. I need to order more, my spider stash is getting low.

Any Halloween layout can use more skulls and creepy eyes right?
This one is from the small skulls set. I used matte chalk marker and then added some detail coloring around the eyes, mouth and cracks with marker.
The eyes are from cat eyes set and are wood veneer. I colored them with red and black marker.

 

Now for my title. It's the All Hallow s Eve title & I freaking love it!
I used a rust red marker on most of it and them added some bright red along the bottom. Then colored the spider to match the look of a black widow. When I was done it didn't stand out against the page enough to I went around it with some chalk marker, which kind of picked up the color that was already there a bit and then I touched up the bottom with more red.
Add another black acrylic skull and this cool crow flair button from the Skull Flair set and you've got yourself the perfect layout to showcase a Plague Doctor Halloween!

Happy Spooky Season to you all!

Soccer Sweetheart layout

Hello!
Last post for September. This year is really flying.

This kid is fabulous!
He is super intense about soccer, but he will stop right after a run (not following where the final kick actually went) and turn to look for his supporters and the camera.

I'm so glad he is enjoying what he does, his way.

All the details for this layout are on the Creative Embellishments blog.

Thanks for dropping in!

Your perseverance & determination layout

 Hi! Today I'm sharing a layout created with Creative Embellishment goodies.
I started off with a great photo and sketch designed by Rebecca Moore.
Then I picked out these fun chipboard words from the Determination word set at CE for my title.

 

 

I used the star envy stencil and some ink pads for my background, layered my papers similar to the sketch design and then had fun adding more embellies and my journaling.
I used chipboard nested stars, wood veneer soccer balls & acrylic mirrored silver stars.

Here are a few closeups:

 

 

 

Thanks so much for coming by!

A little Dirt Never Hurt layout

 Happy day to you all!
Today I'm working with products from Creative Embellishments.

So this entire layout is based around the title piece from Creative Embellishments; A little Dirt Never Hurt.
I found the perfect photo with my son shrugging his "what?" at me, grabbed a sketch by Dee Hunt and the rest of the layout really created itself.
Here are some closeups:

 

I used a lot of brown ink all over the layout and chipboard pieces.
The gears that help the title piece pop are colored with silver metallic marker.
I think my favorite part, after the title, might be the wood veneer mushrooms. They're just so cute!

Thanks! :)Angela

Dreamer layout

 Hello
Today I'm sharing a layout for Creative Embellishments.

When you get those quiet, peaceful moments you just have to soak them in, right?
This one never was much for sleeping, so I enjoyed these moments all I could.

I had a lot of fun with the wood veneer and chipboard pieces on this layout. Here's some closeups for you:

A bit of metallic white chalk and some fun gel crayons and lots of layered chipboard with some wood veneer hearts sprinkled here and there to top it all off.

Thanks for stopping in!

Pancake layout

 Hello!
I have another fun sports layout to share with you today!

 

 

 

These photos have both my daughters in them. It was really fun to watch my oldest 'teach' my youngest a little about the sport she loves and enjoys.
My oldest is on the left demonstrating a Pancake and my youngest is on the right practicing it.

I used a lot of awesome Creative Embellishment products on this layout.
I spruced up some of my stars with my gel crayons but left the wood veneer stars and volleyballs naked.
I also used a sketch from Sketch N Scrap.

Here are a few closeups:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for popping in today!

It's shaping up to be a pretty good week here and the weekend was fabulous. Love getting some sun on my skin.

And on that note here's a fun Baseball layout for you:

For the love of Baseball!
One of my favorite sports and I LOVE watching my kids play.

I've layered chipboard stars and wood veneer baseballs from Creative Embellishments in various spots on this layout to spruce up the papers and stickers.
Also, I used a sketch from Sketch N Scrap.

Thanks for stopping in!

Run! layout

 Hello again!
Today I'm sharing another layout created with Creative Embellishment goodies!

This was a trip to a nearby dinosaur museum a few years ago.
I'm not sure I have a serious photo from this trip but it was so much fun!

I started out picking the dinosaur from the chipboard pack that I wanted to go with my layout and then I used some ink to edge them with a bit of definition.

Then I went with my title and had fun letting the pterodactyl take off with one of the letter.
Last I added some cool wood veneer stars. The picture in the store does not do them justice. I love the dimension you get because they're so thick!

Thanks and have a great weekend!
