Fall Is My Fave

Ahhh, one more day to go until the weekend!  Yay!  

Here's my take on this week's Sunday Sketch at SC...

I love fall and I love this pic I captured using my iPhone while I was riding my bike last week.  I used a template I received through the 1000 Words: Capture More class I'm taking right now to frame the photo.  I used a Silhouette cut file from the Silhouette Online Store for the word "Fall".  

I used some more of my Roller Rink Kit +Add-ons for this layout.  I also used some pieces from Freckled Fawn's ohDeerme Autumn Kit, which I love :)

I stuck with the main elements of the sketch, but put my own spin on it...which is why I love sketches so much!

Have a great day!  

And a special "Happy Birthday" shout out to my mom...love you!  

TFL!

Hardworkin' Dude

Happy Wednesday!  

Here's my take on the Weekly Challenge over at Studio Calico...

The challenge was to scrap something from your everyday routine.  Homework is definitely something we get our daily dose of and I had these great photos of my youngest son (who's in Kindergarten) as he was concentrating on his studies :)

I used my October SC Kit +Add-ons for this layout.  

I absolutely LOVE the paper from Amy Tangerine's newest line...it's so fun and versatile and can be used for either boy or girl-themed pages!

Have a good one!  TFL :)

Washi Workshop

My first ever Washi Workshop is up on the Freckled Fawn blog today....go check it out!!!

Have a good one, TFL!

Life Is Better When We Are Together

Happy Sunday, friends!  I normally don't post on the weekends, but I haven't had a chance to get anything up since Wednesday, gasp!  I did (finally) get a chance to work on the Sunday Sketch from 10.14.12. so here it is...

I was very inspired by Jamie Pate's take on the sketch, which you can see here. It's breathtaking so be sure to check it out :)  I was also inspired by the new I Lowe Scrap papers that are now available at Freckled Fawn.  I knew as soon as I saw those triangles that I wanted them to be a huge element on my page.

I was lucky enough to win that awesome "InstaMoment" stamp from www.lifelovepaper.com through the 1000 Words: Capture More photography class I'm currently taking.  I honestly don't think I've ever won anything in my life, so I can cross that one off my list, lol!

I also used some embellishments from this month's SC kit, Roller Rink and that adorable pink tag with the date stamp on it is from the new Dear Lizzy collection, 5th & Frolic.

I love this photo of my three kiddos laughing and joking together.  That expression of my daughter is priceless to me!  They are so funny together sometimes...I really do cherish those moments and I'm just glad I got to capture one of them on film.

Have a great day and TFL!

Remember This

Hi, everyone!  I hope you're having a great Wednesday :)  Mine has been a little rough, but I'm taking it as a sign that I need to slow down and just breathe for a minute....or two....And it will all be, OK, right?

I do have a layout to share with you today.  I made this one for the Scraplift Challenge at SC.  I don't think I've ever participated in this challenge, but when I saw this week's Featured Layout I knew I wanted to give it a try!

I had this photo from 10.11.12. that I really liked, so it was most of my inspiration for this layout.  I snapped it with my iPhone when I was with Avery waiting to drop her off at school.  It was a normal, run-of-the-mill day, but the kids thought because of the "date", it was really special :)  I added the numbers to my photo in my Phonto app.

I recently purchased these super cool vellum arrows from TwoPeas and I knew this would be the perfect chance to use 'em!  The glassine bag with the yellow plus sign is what they came in and I love to reuse cute packaging whenever I get the chance.

I used some of my October Kit +Add-ons from SC, new Dear Lizzy paper, tags, doilies, and washi from Freckled Fawn, and that adorable arrow stamp is from Kelly Purkey.

Here's something new...I actually journaled directly on my page in my own handwriting!  Holla!  LOL!

I used my Cameo for the "For Like Ever" cut from Studio Calico.

Have a great day...I'm going to take that deep breath and hope for the best!  TFL!

Autumn 2012

Happy Tuesday, everyone :)  

Here's a layout I created using SC's October Kit +Add-ons and a few bits from October's ohDeerme Kit from Freckled Fawn...

I used quite a few Silhouette cuts on this one...the "Autumn" title, the triangle strip on the top photo, and the paper dolls on the bottom photo.  All the cuts were from the Silhouette Online Store.

 
The cute yellow paper bow is from this month's ohDeerme Kit from Freckled Fawn.

This was one of those layouts that came out completely different then what was in my head...ha! I messed with this for two days, but I really liked how it turned out :)  My favorite thing about this layout is the color combo.

Thanks for checking me out!  Have a great day!

My Summer Vacation

Happy Monday, friends!  I hope you had a great weekend :)  

Just a quick post today...I made this layout for the Weekly Challenge at Studio Calico...

The challenge was to use a summer photo and I still had one left from our vacation back in August that I've been wanting to scrap :)  I used my October Kit +Add-on's from SC and I tried out their new color mist droppers on this one.

I used my Cameo for the starburst cut on the left side and the "We Were Here' stamp (one of my ALL-TIME faves!)  is from www.lifelovepaper.com.

My favorite thing about this layout is the wood veneer chevron pieces.  I could used those on EVERY layout.

Well, there you have it!  I hope you have a great day and TFL!
