Artisan Award Non-winning Entry - Scrapbook Page 2

And the parade of Non-winning entries continues!  Here is the second scrapbook page.  I took these pictures of Riley while we were waiting to get our professional portraits taken.  In the bottom pic, she is admiring an ornament a made with re-inkers and rub-ons for a workshop.  I think I should have gotten extra points for that!

Thanks for stopping by today!  See you soon!

Artisan Award Non-winning Entry - Scrapbook Page 1

Hello everyone!  Glad you stopped by today!  Here is one of the Scrapbook Pages I submitted for the Artisan Award Contest.  I love the way this page turned out. 

This is my baby girl, Riley, in her first Easter Egg hunt in the backyard.  

Thanks for stopping by!

Vintage Scrapbook Pages

I have to admit it .... It took me quite a while to jump on the Vintage style bandwagon.  Although I like other creations I have seen in this style, it's just wasn't for me.  But, Stampin' Up! has a wonderful collection for vintage style stamping.  So, for this month's club project we made a two page scrapbook layout with a vintage look.                        

Here's page one of a two page layout. We used the Elements of Style stamp set for this layout.  The background paper is Really Rust.  The photo mats are Sage Shadow.  And the sentiment block is Close to Cocoa.   All colors I love that will be retiring soon.  We also used Smooch Spritz.  Another fantastic new product from the summer mini!                  

Here's the second page of our layout.  We used the same colors, just changed around a bit.  We also sponged Basic Brown ink around the edges of all the cardstock to really make it look distressed.
Hope you like the pages!

Page 2 of Sweet Pea Scrapbook Page

As promised, here is page two of the little girl who could swing herself.  I'm still thinking about the title to put on the page.  "Swing baby Swing", "The little girl who could", "The Swinger" - no that doesn't sound right.  What do you think?  Leave me a comment on what you would use as the title for these pages.

 

Off to use up more of those hoarded supplies!!

Day 3 of Non-hoarding Challenge!

I've made it to day 3!  I'm starting to get a little panicky!!  My beautiful Sweet Pea DSP stack is starting to get smaller.  I've used it so much now.  I feel like I need to put in a big order and replenish my supplies.  But, as I look around, I still have a room full!!  For this one, I am cheating a little!  This is a two page scrapbook layout, but I'm only posting one page today!  You'll have to come back tomorrow to see the other one.

This page is of my daughter swinging herself for the first time.  It was such a momentous occasion!  After hundreds of times of "mommy, can you swing me?", my little girl finally learned to do it herself.  This happened at the beginning of last summer, and I quickly learned that although she could do it herself, being pushed on the swing is still a lot of fun!  She still asked a few hundred times throughout the summer "mommy, can you swing me?"!

Come back tomorrow to see the second page of this layout!

Scrapbook Sketch Challenge

Here's a scrapbook page I made for the very FIRST Stampin' Connection Scrapbook Sketch Challenge.  I combined it with Makeesha's Inkspirations color challenge.  This is page one of a two page layout (the second page is yet to be completed), so I will add my title and journaling with the 2nd page.  These pics were taken this past Thanksgiving.

Leave me a comment.  I'd love to know what you think!!

Christmas Jingle Simply Scrappin' Kit

Here are the first three pages of my Christmas Album from last Christmas.  I have a goal to have this completed before this Christmas.  I held a 12X12 Scrapbook in a Day class last month and have all my pages together - just need to add pictures.  I used the Christmas Jingle Simply Scrappin' Kit.  These are so great for quick scrapbooks.  There are plenty of supplies to make lots of pages.
