Another day another layout or two!

Tuesday, June 22, 2010

I have two digital layouts for you today! They are very different from each other. However I like them both! The first was for a speed scrap at Scrap Matters. It is very much my traditional style. It looks like paper or traditional scrapping. I used the kit Boys Will Be Boys by Just So Scrappy. The flower is from the Shabby Princess free kit Happy Go Lucky. I used two of them and twisted one to make it fuller. This is such a good picture of my oldest son Kaden who is almost 6! He is in our yard playing on the Little Tykes play thing - he is of course at the very top of it! Dare devil!

My second layout is very whimsy and has a LOT of white space! The background is white with a little shadowing. I used the kit Octopus Garden by RebeccaB which you can find at MLAS for only $1 right now!!! This picture is of my oldest again (better do some layouts of Blake so we don't have any MORE sibling rivalry!). It was taken last summer at my sister-in-laws pool Kaden loves swimming and loved the foam water squirters they had! I changed it black and white and then gave it a old photo overlay texture. I love this kit it is so fun! It also has fish, and an octopus and seahorse - so cute! This works for the Inspired by Color Challenge for June at MLAS too!

So what do you think? Which style are you? Which style do you like better?

Every Dog Deserves a Boy!

I did this digi layout this weekend for the template challenge at My Life and Scrap. I used Ice Holiday for most of it which you can get in the store. The pictures are of my oldest son and his dog Flash. Flash is currently MIA, he got out Friday night and we can't find him :(. I had to tell Kaden Sunday when he came home - he was devastated! Poor guy. TFL!

Scrap Happy

Sunday, June 13, 2010

So I was on a roll yesterday! I did 4 more digi layouts and a desktop! Woo hoo go me! However the focus for the rest of the week is going to be traditional scrapbooking as I need to start organizing supplies and making page kits for CKC - I am also going to a crop Friday night! Woo hoo! But here are the layouts from yesterday that I like - all of them were for challenges at My Life and Scrap there was one I didn't like so you don't get to see it! HA! And the desktop you don't wanna see that!

Up first this was for a template challenge - I LOVE templates they are like sketches for digi - and I LOVE me some sketches!!! I used mostly one kit for this also from MLAS Let's Hear it for the Boys Collab by RebeccaB and DBD designs The fonts are Nervous Rex and Army Hollow.

This next layout was for a Mystery LO challenge I pulled pieces from several kits to make my layout. I think that is unusual for a digi scrapper - most just pick a kit and use it - I start with a kit but also go by color. The title is an alpha and the top right is word art.

And the last layout - that I liked hee hee. This was for a font challenge. I already had the font! It's Will and Grace! Such a fun font! This time I mostly used Summer Drigg's freebie kit Boy Oh Boy. Love love love this kit! Use it all the time and it was FREE! I added the brads which are SU, the string and the tag that has the date and journaling.

Dang I have cute kids! HA!

Saturday, June 12, 2010

So with CKC Des Moines looming (July 8,9, 10 - hotel and classes booked!) I decided I better get my mojo going!!!! So last night I scrapped YAY! I managed to finish a layout and part of another! More on that later! I couldn't finish the second one because I can't find my SU black marker! Gasp! thinking maybe I should have more than one! I think I am either going to have to run get one today or order a couple from Amazon to have on hand! Anyway more on those layout later - after I photograph them and upload. This morning I was still feelin scrappy - yay! And so I did a digi layout!!! Woo Hoo! The layout is for one of my favorite online digi sites My Life and Scrap. It was a scrap lift challenge - always good for inspiration!!! This is how it turned out!
