Random layouts

Hi there!  So, I haven't posted ANYTHING to my blog in a long time.  I really have been getting a lot of scrapbooking done (well, a lot for me anyway), I just haven't been taking the time to take any pictures of my completed layouts and get them posted.  I think my pictures look much better when I can take them during the day when it is sunny out and I have the curtains open, but there has NOT been any sun out when I actually have the time to take a picture!  I thought I'd look through some of my layout pics I have taken that I posted to Two Peas but never got around to posting here.  But I may be repeating myself for some of them.  Oh well.

 

I am going to go work on my December Daily album while I'm staying home with my sick daughter today.  Poor kiddo!  But she bounces back quickly, she is usually the least sick family member.  Hopefully when I finish my December Daily album I can get some pics taken and post a few.

 

Thanks for looking!

Layout - 7th Grade

Hello!  Here is a page I just completed inspired by a Two Peas in a Bucket challenge.

Scrap Your Stash A Boy Collection

And here is my layout:

I used mostly Fancy Pants Trendsetter products, with some My Minds Eye enamel dots, Studio Calico wood veneer stars (which I colored black with some Black Soot Distress Ink), and I can't remember who made the gray paper I printed my journaling on :(  I think Elle's Studio?  I think.  Dang, I don't remember.  I really like it too.  Anyway, I really like journaling in a list format, it is so much easier for me to record info in a list format on my layouts.   

Thanks for looking!

A couple of layouts

Hello!  I just thought I'd post a couple of layouts I've finished recently.  Both of them were inspired by Two Peas in a Bucket videos.

Seeing Double Love Daddy

And here are my pages:

 

 

For the top layout (my daughter's school picture) I used mostly Fancy Pants Trend Setter products. I love the dark blue with polka dots tag!  On the bottom layout (my son and I out to lunch) I had really wanted to use the Studio Calico stitched pockets, and those two Two Peas in a Bucket exclusive flair.  I love their flair because they're flatter than most other flair I've bought in the past.  They come just flat with no adhesive, unlike so many other brands that come with foam adhesive that makes it stick up a little too much for my taste.  I like to use just one or two glue dots with the flat back flair.  Of course I could just rip off the foam adhesive on other brand's flair.  Ok, that's all I had to share for today, thanks for looking!

She Is 9 - Two Peas Challenge

Hi there!  I am loving the Two Peas in a Bucket Garden Girl challenges!  Here is my latest layout for the In The Mood To Scrap - Photo Tags + Banners.

Find the challenge here:  In The Mood To Scrap - Photo Tags + Banners

And here is my layout:

I used mostly Elle's Studio and Chic Tags products.  I had never bought their products before, and I wanted to try some out.  I used a Hero Arts tag die to cut out the two white with blue polka dots tags that are in my banner.  The paper I used was the packaging insert for the Chic Tags I used on this page.  Gotta love recycling product packaging!  I kind of wish I had used my enamel dots a little differently.  I'm not super pleased with their placement, but I can live with it.  Also was happy to use up a couple stickers from a really really old Pink Paislee sticker sheet (the small section of border sticker in the bottom left corner, and the No. sticker up near the title).  I chose the Elle's Studio paper as my background because the yellow paper with those pointed ovals reminded me of candle flames, and I thought that was perfect for birthday cake pictures!

Ok, thanks for looking!

Pattern Picking Part 1 Challenge

Hi there!  Just a quick post of a layout I created for Glitter Girls Pattern Picking Part 1 Challenge, found on Two Peas in a Bucket.

Check out the challenge here: Pattern Picking Part 1

And here is my layout.

I used mostly Crate Paper Maggie Holmes and BasicGrey Mint Julep papers, plus Two Peas star paper clips and Studio Calico wood veneer stars.

Chalk Art Festival 2013

Hello!  Here is a layout I created for another Two Peas class challenge.

The link: Seeing Double - You Are Awesome

And here is my layout:

The challenge was to create a page (or card) using small embellishments and NO patterned paper.  I used washi tape (My Minds Eye and Bella Blvd), Studio Calico wood veneers, Simple Stories Sn@p, My Minds Eye labels, Dear Lizzy labels, really old 7Gypsies word stickers, misc brads, My Minds Eye enamel dots, and Two Peas exclusive star paper clips.  This is not my usual style, but I do like how the whole thing turned out.  I think I will try something like this again in the future.  And I love love love the star paper clips!

BOBW Challenge - Stack of Punched Pieces

Hi there!  This is my last layout for today that I have made for Shimelle Laine's Best of Both Worlds blog challenges, this being for the challenge Scrapbooking With A Stack Of Punched Pieces. 

Here is the link:
Stack of Punched Pieces challenge

And here is my layout:

I really liked Shimelle's layout with the banner pieces at the bottom, so I decided to create something similar.  Also, while punching my pieces, I've decided I need a bigger variety of punches!  I really like the Fiskars squeeze punches, and I have two, and now I think I'd like some more :)  All the patterned paper is My Minds Eye My Girl, as well as the enamel dots (which I'm now down to just two dots in the package, which is sad, I want some more!).  Title stickers are Simple Stories Sn@p, and I think the twine is Doodlebug.

I will continue to work on more of the challenges throughout this coming week!  I really have enjoyed the challenges, they sure get me motivated to create more layouts :)  Thanks for looking!
