Target Princess/ Our Life Memories BOAF

I'm up on the Birds of a Feather blog today with 2 layouts I did with this months bright and beautiful kit.

I used Websters pages for the background on this one and even did some fussy cutting to fill in some of the white space I left around the edges. These pictures of my youngest aren't the best but I love the fact that I caught her wearing the crowns like she does ever time we go into Target,lol. We always buy at least one crown when we go in. I did a little sewing to add a bit more texture without adding to much to the page and added a few of the stickers from the Kaiser Craft sticker sheet we got in the kit, then I ripped a part one of the bright orange flowers so that I could add them behind some of my stickers and pictures. I did pull my grey dotted washi from my stash because I just like washi,lol, but the rest is from the kit.

Now with this layout, I chose a Websters pages background again, and a few of the brighter colors that were in the picture and started playing. I added a bit of mixed media with an older Prima stencil that had a leaf pattern, then a few silhouette cut files, did some layering of papers and some sewing and was done. I added a few of my Tim Holts small talk stickers because they fit so well talking about adventure and living life.

Pop over to the BOAF blog and check out what the other girls do with this pretty kit!

Lets get sketchy/ Lets stay home

Today is the the reveal of Augusts week ones sketch for  Lets get Sketchy!! I just so happen to be on team A, so that means I'm up on the blog today with some other amazing womans. 

Jenessa Franco did a fantastic sketch for everyone to get inspiration from, go by the Lets get Sketchy blog and check it out, maybe even participate and get an entry in for yourself. You never know you might get Artist of the week!

Heres the fantastic sketch Jenessa Franco created:

And here is my take on the sketch:

I got into my stash and pulled out things from a few different collection. My background is DCWV from there DIY projects stack. I love the line Jen Hadfeild made with Pebbles, Home+Made. So I grabbed my 6x6 Pebbles paper pad and some of my embellishments from Maggie Holmes open book collection and went to to town.

These papers are so pretty and I love them, so I've hoarded them since I got them lol. But I finally decided to pull them out and play with them and I like the fact that I had printed these pictures out in B&W casue then, lucky me, they go with everything lol. I finished my Layout off with some Heidi Swapp Gold lame color shine.

Now if you haven't already, head over to the Lets get sketch blog and join in with the fun!!

July Hip Kit!!

Ok so yeah I know its the end of July and I'll be getting my August hip kit before to long but I still had to share this beautiful kit!! I got the main kit and patterned paper add on and was so happy I did when I got it in the mail! I am always kickin my self in the butt for not getting more of the add ons, man am I happy I did. I really think this picture does no justice to these beautiful products!!

We've had a lot going on with our family this summer, so I have slacked some in my scrapping, this is me finally opening up my July kit and I'm going to play with it finally!! My plan is to have at least 4-5 layouts done by the time my August kit gets here.

Wish me luck!!

June Hip Kit/ Picture heavy! :)

Wow Summer seems to be flying bye and there has been so much going on with our family. We've had some some fun this summer, but were also having some pretty hard times as well. As of right now I am going to continue to look on the bright side and keep praying that thins turn out how they are suppose to.

And on a happier not; I have gotten my July Hip Kit and haven't even touched it! Can you believe that??!!? I haven't scrapped much, with spending time with my kiddos and making memories to scrap and with all of the family things, I hadn't even finished the June kit or played with any of my other scrappy haul items. So the other night I dove into my June kit and pretty much killed it! I think I might be able to squeeze one more layout out f the scraps that are left, we will see.

 So here is my little basket head, this was from around Easter and we had just left my parents. My mom always gets the kiddos baskets at there house too, well Lala ended up empty and on our youngest daughters head, lol just seemed like a good picture to take. Everything on this layout is from my June Hip Kit.  I loved the Crate paper frames and the amazing Fancy pants papers I used for this layout. They are so bright and fun!

I used the Pink Paislee  papers out of my kit for this layout, they just seemed to go better with these pictures. This was our daughters 1st time to a duck park and she loved it. I had to keep stopping her from trying to hug the ducks lol she just wanted to cuddle them!

I found this picture from last summer and thought it went well with these papers from Crate paper. All four of my goofy little ones playing in the sprinkler in the yard.

Now I had a really hard time cutting this beautiful paper from Simple stories summer vibe line up!! But I loved the way the paper went with this picture of my son in the pool, so I decided that I couldn't hoard it and cut it up! I did use a little but of my own yellow washi by little B and then a few pieces that were left over from last months kit and Marches kit.

My hubby and our youngest in the pool for the 1st time this summer, she wasn't really to sure about it at first but loves it now! Everything is from Junes kit except the little label ring stickers. Everything else including the tissue paper came in the kit. It was sent as packaging, but why waste?? lol

This is the last one for tonight and I was scrappin my stash! The majorette of this LO was don't with the #Summer collection by American Crafts. Its been sitting in my stash for to long untouched! I added a few pieces of chipboard from a Teresa Collins line, a few Shimelle rubons, my own home made enamel dots, that alph was actually from my May Hip kit embellishment add on, they were Pebbles Prismatic thickers, they were all pretty rainbow stripes, but I painted them, I liked the font :)

Well I hope everybody has a fabulous Monday tomorrow!
