Older Layouts to Share

These are some layouts I never got around to posting and wanted to do so now to share what I had done before we started our Friday Scrap Nights.

New Layouts

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".

Alton's 3rd Birthday

The left side of this 2 pager was done by scraplifting a layout in my CK magazine and the right side was my idea trying to use up some scraps. I made the #3 using my cricut and then I just added embellishments inside it. I wish I had glimmer misted behind the embellies to give it a little more color but it's okay. The right side I will probably add one more picture or more journaling in the right corner. Just looks a little unbalanced to me. Or maybe I won't and just put it away in its album and forget about it.

Delight

These pictures were taken in the Spring of 2009. All the supplies on this layout came from my very first kit from SD4U. I'm still making layouts with this kit. I wasn't sure about the "Delight" title but I looked up the definition of the word "Delight" and when I read it I thought it fit just right with these pics. I then added the definition to the layout and then my own journaling below it.

Layouts to Share

I just got back Sunday from a wonderful family vacation to St. Augustine, Florida. Unfortunately the layouts from that trip probably won't be done until a year from now. I may mix it up and do them sooner than that, but it will take me forever to figure out which photos to print and scrapbook out of the 1,000 we all took.

I did however complete a few layouts before I went on our trip and wanted to share them now so I feel like I've done something lately. I'm slowly getting back into everything including work and scrapbooking and hope to find my creative groove soon. Boy I miss it....

This is actually a layout done without using a sketch - my own design believe it or not. The goal of the layout was to display our tickets of the movies and shows we've seen together. I left space to add a few more. I love this paper line used - block party by...oh shoot now I don't remember. Anyway, I just love using primary colors and these had a great flare to them. The sticker letters are vinyl thickers (love 'em) and the style is perfect for this page.
