Bliss/About A Boy

The second challenge for this month from About A Boy is to create a layout about water in some way. I chose a picture of my son snorkeling.  I believe he would stay in the pool 24/7 if I let him! I used the collection Down By The Shore from Fancy Pants. I love the bright colors of this collection. I also used Little Yellow Bicycle and Studio Calico for embellishments.  I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

Love My Family/About A Boy

Happy Fourth of July! I hope everyone is having a great day!  The challenge from About A Boy is to use red, white and blue on a layout.  We can use neutrals such as white, black, kraft as your background.  I decided not to wait until today for a Fourth of July photo. There is an 80% chance of rain today and tomorrow! I decided to use a picture from our recent trip to the beach.  I didn't realize until I had finished the layout that we were wearing red, white, and blue! Here is my layout:

The supplies I used are Bazzill, Heidi Swapp, Tim Holtz, Authentique, Bo Bunny, Karen Foster, and Fancy Pants.

I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

My Guys

I have entered this layout in two challenges, Sketch N Scrap and About A Boy Scrapbook Challenge. This layout is based on the sketch from Brenshevia the sketch artist at Sketch N Scrap. About A Boy's challenge was to use circles.  The pictures are of my son and husband from Father's Day.  Yes, my son is holding a sheet cake. My son, with my help, baked him a cake! My husband loved it!! I used Teresa Collins' He Said She Said collection. I inked the edges of the pattern paper using Kaisercraft's Sepia. The thickets are from Amy Tangerine called Muse. The circle stamp is Good Day by Ali Edwards. I used Tim Holtz's Barn Door Distress Ink.   I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

                                

Feeding Time

This layout "Feeding Time" is about my son feeding a giraffe and an elephant at the zoo.  Going to the zoo is one of our favorite summer time activities.  On this layout I used Bo Bunny's Zoology collection.  Other times I used are kraft and orange cardstock and brads.  I used 5 brads. Each one has a word on it.  I have had these so long that I am not sure whom the manufacturer is.  I am entering this layout in several challenges:
Sketch-N-Scrap; sketch challenge and the sketch is by Lisa
About A Boy; challenge is to show your son's favorite summer or holiday activity
Scrap Our Stash; challenge is to create a layout about a male using 5 or more brads
Use Your Stuff; challenge to create a layout that reminds you of summer.

I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

Meeting Tony Stewart/About A Boy

A couple of weeks a ago we had the opportunity to meet Nascar driver Tony Stewart.  No one was allowed to take photographs with him.  It was so quick I didn't even get a picture of my son getting his autograph.  Anyway my husband enjoyed meeting him and all my son wanted to do was see his car. What is it about boys and fast cars? I did a layout using Basic Grey's Knee Highs and Bow Ties.   I love this line!  The small mini alphas are from Kaisercraft.! I entered this layout in About A Boy Scrapbook Challenge.  This month the challenge was to create your child being a typical boy.  In this case I captured father and son being typical boys! Thanks for stopping by!

Dino Art/About A Boy Challenge

This past week my son missed two days of school because he was sick. On the second day when he was feeling a little bit better he caught me going through his school papers. I told him I was searching for some art work for About A Boy's scrapbook challenge. Next thing I know he has his sketch pad out with his colored pencils, crayons, and markers. After about 15 drawings he presented me with this drawing of a T-Rex (a happy T-Rex). He loves dinosaurs!! I want to thank About AB Boy because this challenged offered my son a couple of hours of happiness! Here is my layout:
Supplies used:
Tim Holtz & Ranger Distress Cardstock collection and Distress Ink; Bella Blvd., Maya Road and Little Yellow Bicycle

About A Boy-Chevron/Our Moments

During Spring Break I took my son to the movies. There was a photo booth. We had never done this before. It was so much fun and I suggest to everyone to try it. This month for About A Boy Challenge was to use chevron. Because of the film strip photos it reminded me of a bulletin board. I used pieces from Simple Stories's 24/7 collection. I love this line! I used a piece of cork stykle cardstock for the background. I hope you like it!

"100" About A Boy Challenge

The second challenge for About A Boy is to use scraps. I chose We R Memory Keepers "Hall Pass" since my picture was about my son's reading test. He made 100 on his test and was so excited that he asked me to take a picture of him with it. He then asked me to send it to everyone! He was so proud of himself and we are to! On the layout I also used a sheet of Kraft paper for the background and the letters are from American Crafts/Eric.

"Note" About A Boy Scrap Challenge

Hello Everyone,
I wanted to share a layout I did for About A Boy scrap challenge.  This time we had to use items in our stash that we have had for at least a year.  I knew exactly what I wanted to use!! I chose Fancy Pants It's the Little Things.  I love this collection.  Of course, I love everything from Fancy Pants!!  Here is my layout:

I used 2 pictures, one of Noah and a note he left for me one day on my scrapbooking desk! I love it! I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for stopping by.
