A Simple Fun Layout

My brother and sister-in-law took us and their kids to Cheyenne Mountain Zoo this past summer when we went to Colorado to visit. It was a great zoo and us big kids had fun there!


Oh this layout was for a challenge in which string had to be used somewhere on the page. I only used a little bit but it is there nonetheless!


I've been focusing more on scrapping for Dan and me lately and I am really glad about it :)

A Couple Layouts to Share

I spent a good amount of time with my scrappy stash last night as well as today and I got a couple more layouts completed!

So there was a challenge to use Prima products somewhere on a project. That was right up my alley as anyone who knows my scrappy side knows that I use Prima on almost everything! Here's my layout... the flowers and crystal flourishes are Prima, and just about everything else is Basic Grey!




Another challenge called for creating a project using a variety of different alphas. So here's my layout using some Thickers, cardstock stickers, and a stamp...



Thanks for looking!

Chipboard Mini-Album

I hope everyone's holidays have been very happy! It was wonderful to spend time with our families! Now that I am home from all of the traveling, I will be getting back to spending time with my scrap stash.

Most of the gifts we gave this year were store-bought, but I did manage to make this cute mini-album for my husband's sister! I am hoping that she will find it useful for some photos of her almost three year old daughter.


It's a 6x6 chipboard album made from raw chipboard sheets cut down to size. All of the papers and butterfly embellishments are from the K&Company Sparkly Sweet collection which is just perfect for photos of a little girl. There is machine stitching throughout the album and I added several flowers, rhinestones, stamped flourishes, and Stickles to bling it up!


I rounded the corners and used my new Bind-It-All machine to put the album together. I think it turned out pretty cute!

Pages 1 and 2:

Pages 3 and 4:

Pages 5 and 6:

Pages 7 and 8:

Pages 9 and 10:

Those tags that are tucked into the pocket on page 10 pull out for additional photos or journaling!

{ Spa Day }

Here's my third Guest CT project for Scrapbook Doodle using the November kit.


Have I mentioned that I love this kit?! The colors have been perfect for some photos that I have been wanting to scrap.


I did a lot of inking on this one which I think adds so much to the overall look of the layout. I'm also really happy with the look of the black and silver bling :)


Well I have made 3 layouts with this kit already but I still have some more product left, so check back for more projects!
