Selfies Layout

This layout was done during Wednesday's Scrapbook with me event. I accidentally left my phone unattended during a recent event and came back to find about 20 of these selfies on my camera roll taken by Meghan and Nicole. I know I should be more careful but always enjoy seeing these fun pictures of my kids! I dug into my stash of the Soda Pop collection to create this,

The inspiration for this layout came from this layout I found on Pinterest. 

I converted the 12" x 12' 2-page layout to an 8 1/2" x 11" 2-page layout. I adjusted the paper sizing and photo sizing to work with the new layout size. The title was cut using my Cricut. The embellishments came from the sticker sheet from the Soda Pop collection along with elements from my stash.

Halloween Card and Treat Holder

It's October now so time to get ready for Halloween. I enjoy this time of year and had fun working with the Stampin' Up Potions and Spells Bundle to create this card and treat holder. I usually give out treats to my coworkers for Halloween as we have a fun time celebrating the holiday where I work.

The card was inspired by this sketch from Freshly Made Sketches. You can see this sketch along with others here.

To make the card I used Basic Black as the base. I cut the Basic White layer and used a die from the Stylish Shapes set to die cut the circle from it. I took a piece of Smoky Slate, used the Exposed Brick embossing folder to emboss it and then went over the embossing with Tuxedo Black Ink. I die cut the cauldron, bubbles, and books then stamped them using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. They were colored in using Stampin' Blends. The spill over was die cut from the Festive Glimmer paper.

The treat holder was made by die cutting 2 cauldrons then taking a strip of 3" wide cardstock which I adhered between the 2 die cuts using Tear & Tape adhesive, I die cut and colored the embellishments for the treat holder as I did with the card and added them on both sides of the cauldron. This makes a cute and fun treat holder that is easy to make and embellish!

I hope you like the card and treat holder! Thanks for stopping by!

July 2024 Monthly Recap Layout

I finished this layout during last Monday's Scrapbook with me event and love the simplicity of the papers and embellishments in it. I used up some of the Gnomes for Summer collection paper for this layout. I love the colors and patterns in this collection.

The inspiration for this layout came from this layout I found on Pinterest. I usually work with sketches but sometimes I find a layout I like and wish to copy.

I converted the 12" x 12' 2-page layout to an 8 1/2" x 11" 2-page layout. I adjusted the paper sizing, number of photos, and photo sizing to work with the new layout size. The title was cut using my Cricut. The butterflies and bursts come from my stash.

RSC Back to School Retreat Layout

Another recent Scrapbook with me completed layout. I dug into my stash of retired Stampin' Up DSP for this layout from the recent Ready, Set, Crop Back to School Retreat weekend. For the past several years I have usually worked these retreat weekends as a vendor so it was a lot of fun to be an actual scrapbooker at this weekend! I got to spend some time with good friends and make some new ones!

The inspiration for this layout came from this sketch I found on Pinterest.

I converted the sketch from 12" x 12" to 8 1/2" x 11" and changed the photo sizes to work with this layout size. The title was die cut using a set from my stash. I added some faux-stitching to the tops of the banner strips and some flowers and buttons from my stash to complete the layout.

Ice Cream Layout

Been a little crazy around here recently so I have not had time to share my completed layouts from my recent Scrapbook with me events. I am working today on catching up on those. I did this layout recently using a challenge pack of papers and embellishments I received at the Ready, Set, Crop Back to School retreat weekend. They do a "Queen of the Crop" challenge and even though I did not create this layout during that weekend I knew as soon as I saw the kit what layout I would use it for.

Meghan has been coming home with work with some great recipes for us to try and these were no exception - we made homemade French Vanilla ice cream, whipped cream with Bourbon, and roasted strawberries. YUMMY!

The inspiration for this layout came from this sketch I found on Pinterest.

The sketch was already in an 8 1/2" x 11" format which worked perfect for my current album size. I changed the sizes of the photos to be 3" x 4" and added an additional mat layer to work with the papers I was given in the challenge. I used a piece of the border punch piece given as an embellishment along with the ice cream cone. I opted to leave a title off of this layout and use the title area for journaling.
