Happy New Year's!  Yesterday it was raining here so I had some time to scrapbook! While cleaning out my scrapbook room I found two layouts I never finished.  I finished those two and I did one more.  Here they are:

I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year's Day and a blessed new year!! Thanks for stopping by!

Layouts from Softer Side Class

Hello Everyone!  I wanted to share two layouts that I did a couple of days ago from a class that I took from soapHOUSEmama called The Softer Side.  I really enjoyed this class learning new techniques.  Be sure to stop by her website, Purplemailbox.com to check out her work!

This is the first layout, Biggest Cheerleaders.  The pictures are not the greatest.  My husband took them while I was running in my first 5K.  The pictures are of my son and my mom waiting on me to cross the finish line.  I wished I had a picture of my husband at the 5K.  Here are some close ups:

The supplies I used are Amy Tangerine, Studio Calico, American Crafts, and some other supplies in my stash.

The second layout is a picture of me when I was 14 or 15.  This was a popular style back then, the long skirts, sweaters and the bob hairstyle.  Photographs from back then are usually dark or yellowish.  I loved the technique of lightening the layout.  Here are some close ups:

Some of the supplies are Basic Grey, Crate Paper, Studio Calico.  Be sure to stop by the Purplemailbox.com to check out her work.  Thanks for stopping by!

The supplies I used are Fancy Pants Designs, Ranger Ink, Tim Holtz, and My Mind's Eye.  This picture is of my son with some friends.  Their parents are teachers so they play together every afternoon until we leave school.  They play well together and have a good time.  They are lucky to have each other!  Thanks for stopping by!

Sketch N Scrap November Sketch Reveal

Hello everyone! It is November 15th and time for Sketch N Scrap's sketch reveal.  Here is the sketch and my layout:

I love this sketch! The supplies I used are Bo Bunny, American Crafts, Ranger Ink, Heidi Swapp, Hero Arts, Bazzill Basics, and Sandy Livin'.

The title of this layout is 6th Kyu.  The layout is of my son becoming 6th Kyu which means he is now a purple belt.  I wanted the layout to contain lots of purple which I did not have any of.  The background is actually a Christmas paper from Bo Bunny.  I thought it was perfect for this layout.  I used triangles instead of hexagons.  I used a Hero Arts Stamp and stamped parts of circles on the triangles in Deep Purple from Ranger Ink.
