Summer Summary

This LO was inspired by the current CramFest SD4U is having on their site right now. One of the tasks was to create a layout that covers an event, using ribbon and embellishments. They're voting right now on their site for best layout. So far I'm in 2nd out of 3 entries. I took a literal approach to the task as my LO is just like the example. I just loved how the teacher fit 16 photos on the double pager and wanted to do the same.

Missed Layout - Chuck E. Cheese

I don't know how, but I had filed this LO away as done but never posted it on my blog. So here it is. The pictures are from two visits to Chuck E. Cheese.

This was done using a kit that I received from Scrapbook Generation. I like grid layouts. They appeal to my sense of order.

Summer Fun

Two more layouts using sketches from Sassy Lil' Sketches. I LOVE how they use circles. I actually did it sort of like a double layout. Just so the layouts flow better in my album. I spritzed the background with blue glimmer mist and used my cricut for the title letters. I LOVE this paper line from Best Creation Inc. "Surf's Up". The glitter paper gives the layout more depth and pizazz. You'll likely see this paper again in future blog posts. I plan to use every scrap of it.

Buddy

Alton's favorite little "buddy". I just wanted to remember this toy (stuffed animal) and help Alton remember it years after he's outgrown it. If that ever happens....

Sketch by: Sassy Lil' Sketches

I'm always behind on when sketches are due - one of these days I'll actually submit a layout on time. But I just LOVE their sketches.

Alton & Me

At the Scrapalooza (an all day crop) held by Scrapbook Generation they gave us all the pieces to a layout to assemble on site. I was trying to find the perfect papers to go with this picture and this kit was just that - perfect. It worked so well and was so stinkin simple to assemble. Less than 5 minutes and I had a layout - okay it took me a little longer as I finished the journaling at home but still...easy peasy. So layout design by Scrapbook Generation and cuteness by Alton Keller. :) Hey, that's a good layout title....

Just realized you can't read the journaling: "Sitting on the front porch with Alton I decided to turn the camera around and take a picture of the two of us. So glad I did, this tender moment is "so special" and I'm so glad I caught it".
