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!

Captain Noah/Let's Get Sketchy

I love these pictures of Noah even though you can't see his face. Recently we took a vacation to the beach. One afternoon we took a boat ride on the Sea Blaster.  It was fun, but the best part was watching Noah get to drive the boat. I used a sketch from Let's Get Sketchy by their sketch designer Bev Code.  I used supplies by Echo Park, Making Memories, Studio Calico, Heidi Swapp, Jenni Bowlin and Tim Holtz.  I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

                            

The Pier/Scrap Our Stash

Scrap Our Stash has a unique challenge. You must create a layout using this sketch:

While creating the layout you must use scraps only and include:

*A pre-made (purchased) tag and/or per-made (purchased) journaling card or

*Twine or jute

Here is my layout:

The background paper is from The Loft. I love it because it reminds of the boards on the pier.  The three pieces of pattern paper are also from The Paper Loft's collection The Zone.  The background of the pictures are from Heidi Swapp. The tag is school themed journaling tag that I have had for so long I can't remember where it came from! All I need to do is to add journaling. I hope you like it and thanks  for stopping by!
