April Layouts

Where does the time go?  Three layoutsis all I managed in the month of April. I have groups of photos to scrap, some new, some old, some really old! All sitting on my desk in piles waiting to be put on pages.

 

This weekend is national scrapbooking day.  Maybe I'll get some time to work on my piles of photos.

 

 

 

I used a Christmas overlay on this page.  The mattes, photo, journal spot and some of the flatter embellishments are under the overlay.  The cluster of flowers, butterflies and chipboard are on top of the overlay.

 

A double pager. Yay! The black snowflakes are Maya Roads.  I love them and will be using them on future layouts.  There are lots in a package.

 

So that's it for April.  Maybe I'll get more time in May now that I'm settling into my new job and am not so swamped.

A few layouts

This first layout is for the 123 Challenge blog. The challenge was to 

1. Black (Washi Tape, Title and bling along the bottom of my page)
2. the word 'Year'  (my journaling is "Breanna's love of reading began before she was a year old. Grandma always had time to read" and I also have the year jotted down at the end of my title)
3. Twine circles (mine is framing Grandma and Breanna)

 

I made a clothes line with the chipboard dresses and buttons from Cosmo Cricket's chipboard sheet.

Duncan teaching Breanna to walk.  She was such a novelty to him at that age. Unfortunately it didn't last long.

And for a double pager. I've always wanted to try this alpha sticker background and finally got around to doing it.

 

Follow Your Heart ~ My Mind's Eye pages

 I think this My Mind's Eye line is one of my favs!  The collage down the right side is printed right on the paper.  I stamped the chandelier myself.  The chipboard banner is cut in two and placed over the chandelier.  The woodcuts (butterfly and camera) are by Kaiser.

 

 

This second page is using the same line of papers and chipboard embellishments.  My cutie Breanna just under a year old.  She is so pretty!

Little birch bed for Duncan

I used the same Fancy Pants Designs line as I used on my last couple of layouts. Did a little spraying and misting on the background then started glueing down strips and scraps of patterned paper.

Another old photo from 1999.

Fancy Pants 'the good life' ~ Ready Set Go

I love the patterns in this line of Fancy Pants'. The puffy stickers are by Imaginisce and were just lying on my desk waiting to be used.

My kids had so much fun in this little jeep when they were toddlers.  Great memories.

My little driver

I found some old photos that I wanted to scrap.  My Daniel could never really figure out how to steer his little jeep.  He drove into his bike while Breanna was a passenger and the look on her face is priceless.

Happy New Year

Love the bright cheerful colours in this Cosmo Cricet line.  The chipboard sheet has loads of great images.  I love the girl.  She has red hair just like Breanna.
