Week 8

Happy Thursday, everyone!  I have my pocket page spread for Week 8 to share with you today. I used the March OHDEERME kit from Freckled Fawn and some Studio Calico Project Life kits for this spread.

My absolute favorite embellishment from the FF March kit were the "days of the week" paperclips!

We finally got a break in the cold weather this week.  We even enjoyed a couple of days that were near 60 degrees :)

Another fun embellishment in this month's OHDEERME kit were the rubber sentiment banners like the one I used in the photo above.  They come in four different colors and add a fun texture to your projects.

I journaled quite a bit in this week's spread and sized my photos a little smaller than I normally do (2x3) so I could add more color pops and embellishments to them.  I really, really like the change in photo size.

As you can see this month's kit is packed full of lovely goodies so be sure and check it out here.

And here's my full spread for Week 8...

Crate Paper Oh Darling Mini Album

Hello everyone!

I have a mini album I created using the lovely Oh Darling collection from Crate Paper to share with you today....

My inspiration for this mini album came from my daughter's recent birthday. I wanted to document all of the sweet, little moments from her fourth year (she turned 5 yesterday).

I chose some of my favorite photos of my daughter and focused on the "everyday" moments throughout this mini.

I created several interactive pockets and flaps to house my journaling.

To see more detailed photos and for more information on my design process, head on over to the Crate Paper blog.

I hope you have a great day!  TFL!

You and Me

Happy Monday, everyone!

There's a new challenge up on the Scrapbook Circle blog that's all about using tags and you can play along to get a chance to win a fabulous prize pack from American Crafts.

Here's my take on this challenge...

I used the February kit Hello Today from Scrapbook Circle for this page and a photo of me and my hubby on our wedding day and one of us eight years later (we celebrated our eight year anniversary this past week)...

I layered several tags from the Chickaniddy paper that's available in the February kit across my page and in between my two photos.

I thought the "Then/Now" flair button from October Afternoon was the perfect addition for my layout and I layered several label stickers underneath it...

Be sure and head over to the SBC blog to find out more info about my layout and about the giveaway!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Love This Girl

Hello and happy Sunday!

I created this layout using a quick and easy crayon resist technique that I shared on the Freckled Fawn blog earlier this week...

I also used embellishments from recent OHDEERME kits which you can shop for here.

I had this adorable photo of my daughter all snuggled up with her favorite stuffed animals and sporting a fluffy pair of wolf ears from our recent trip to the Great Wolf Lodge in Kansas City that I just couldn't resist scrapping.

To see how this page came together and for more information on how I used the crayon resist technique, head on over to the FF blog.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Books

Hello friends!

I'm sharing this layout and a little technique for how I created all of the arrows I used on my page over on the Come On Get Crafty blog today...

I used lots of Crate Paper items from the shop, along with some Jenni Bowlin sequins and some fun washi tape from Glitz Design.

I was really inspired by the chevron patterned paper from Crate Paper.  You can see how I created the arrows and more details about my page here.

I hope you have a great day.  Thanks for stopping by!

Sweethearts

Happy Tuesday, everyone!

Yesterday my husband and I celebrated 8 years of marriage so I thought it was fitting to post this layout I created for the Gossamer Blue blog using their February kits...

My oldest son took this photo of my hubby and I back in November when we went to visit him in KC. He's been working out there for almost five months now so this was the first year we celebrated our anniversary apart.

I used Gossamer Blue's February Kits and Add-ons for this 8.5x11 layout.

You can find out more details about how I created this clothesline banner on the GB blog.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
