A couple of cousin layouts

I spent the weekend out at the Blueberry,at a Scrapbook Retreat put on by Unforgettable Memories.  My goal was to finish 6 double page layouts, and I did it.  Though four of those layouts were for my sister and only two for my albums. Her photos just worked with the latest papers I had picked up from the store.

 

 Her boys love to bike. I've left room for Tan to journal on Wade's layout.  The other one I did the journaling for.

 

I love this Echo Park line.  It is called 'for the record 2' and it's perfect for boy pages.  On the page above I created a banner using the sayings and notecard paper.  Lots of stickers and chipboard come with this line.

On the page below I used up almost the entire sheet of chipboard pieces and then I used the empty chipboard sheet on the right page.

 I especially love the chipboard bike.

Misted background

I love how this background turned out.  I misted gold, pink, blue and green after wetting my white cardstock thoroughly, so it all blurred together.  Unfortunately the camera picks up the glitter and makes it look hard, but IRL the background is very soft and hazy looking.  Really gorgeous.

The photos are of my MILs garden.

So happy to see you

Lots of paint and mist on the background.  It was kind of fun, but messy, working on it.

A couple more Smash Journal pages

Breanna dyed Emily's hair with crimson streaks the evening before Em's birthday.  This page in my Smash Journal was perfect for these pics. I put lots of sparklies on the page to girly it up.

The one day we had that wasn't gorgeous and hot we went to the rec center and swam indoors.  Most of the kids and Grandad had a lot of fun splashing around.  I used some old Cosmo Cricket stickers and MM tags strung on some bakers twine.  A really quick page.

A Smashing good morning to you

It's my day off so I have done a couple more pages in my Smash journal of Whistler.

Lots of journaling on these pages.  The top photo lifts up with more journaling underneath.

It's a dreary day here.  Very wet and overcast so difficult to get a good photo of my pages. 

I'm having fun with these little pages.  I love the right page of the girl cousins getting wet.  I sprayed my tree mask and the rest came toghether in about 10 minutes.

Smash journal pages ~ a couple more

A couple more pages.  Breanna and I spent one morning looking around the shops in Whistler Village buying gifts and a couple items for ourselves.  I bought two new blouses for work which are now my two favourites.  I've worn them lots.  I put a pocket on the page to save receipts...

And now I'm scrapping some pictures of our Nita Lake adventure.  We took lots of photos that day so I will do a couple more pages on this neat spot that Mum and Dad discovered quite by accident.

Whistler SMASH Journal

I have a few pages started in my K&Co 'baby' Smash Journal.  Yes, I bought the baby themed journal and didn't realize it till I got home.  But I'm making it work. 

The first page is pictures of our drive south.  I didn't want to do all the driving so we put the extra insurance on the truck so Duncan could drive with his 'N'.  It was tough getting a turn behind the wheel after that.  Duncan loves to drive and is a very good driver. 

This next page is the journaling for our trip down.  I didn't plan, just wrote. 'Stream of consciousness' journaling.  The page was already decorated with the patterned background and the images of kids playing.  I just added a little tape, and a couple of epoxy stickers.

I like how this page turned out.  When Duncan told me he was taking his bike I had a half dozen excuses why he couldn't/shouldn't.  I'm so glad he insisted.  He got lots of use and had a lot of fun in Whistler on his bike.  There are paths everywhere and he even got to go up the Mt. on two days and bike with my sister and her family.

There are a few more sights in Whistler since the Olympic Games were there.  Like the Olympic rings which we had to pose in/on.

This Smash page was very baby themed.  The left side is a picture of a baby in a crib.  I covered most of it up.  The right side said 'Just Hangin' in my crib'.  I covered the crib part and left the rest for my title.

I have a couple more pages in progress.  Will up load them ASAP.
