Polar Express Layout

I found this sketch at Creative Scrappers. I loved this because of the layering.

I used a photo of my son and I at his school on PJ and Polar Express Day. I love this photo of us! On this layout I used Authentique's Festive Collection.  The letters are Graphic 45 and can not remember where I got the train note card from.  I also used some Studio Calico's Mister Huey's Blizzard Color Mist. 

Hope everyone has a great week!

Jump Layout

Wow! I can not believe it has been September since I posted last. A lot of things have been going on, new house, new job and of course just life! I hope everyone had a great holiday. We did, but honestly glad it is over with! There is nothing like scrapbooking to relax me! How I have missed it. Still trying to finish my December Daily and Project Life for 2012. I have already started PL 2013 and finding it simplier since I have one year down, well almost.  Anyway I got up early and found some sketch challenges.  I love them because it pushes me and it IS a challenge.  Today I did a sketch challenge from Sketch~N~Scrap. If you haven't checked them out please go by there. They have awesome sketches!  Here is the sketch:

I loved the simplicity of this sketch.  I decided to use some pictures of my son jumping on his new trampoline.  The supplies I used are:  patterned paper from Lily Bee's Persnickey collection, alpha letters are from Bo Bunny's Midnight Frost, heart from Little Yellow Bicycle's Natural's Collection and the blue label is from Jillibean Soup. 

I really liked how this layout turned out.  Hope everyone has a great week!

Authentique's September Sketch

I hope everyone is having a great weekend.  I went to a crop yesterday at The Scrapbook Princess.  I haven't been to a crop in a while.  It was good to get away, scrap and to see some friends.  This is Authentique's September Sketch and I really liked it.  This is a sketch I tend to shy away from, but I liked it some much I just had to try it. 

 I used Authentique's Curiosity collection. Can you tell that I am in love with this collection?  The picture was taken on the second day of school.  Noah got his first star student of the year.  Here is my layout:

Authentique Supplies Used:
Academic, Studious, and Learning pattern paper
Details and Elements sticker sheets

Other products I used was cardstock for the stars and a circle behind the Teacher's Pet sticker. I used a star punch for the stars. I hope you like it. Check out Authentique's blog. They have some awesome ideas and of course great product!! Have a great week!!

2 in 1 Layout

A couple of weeks ago I found Sketch-N-Scrap website.  They had a cute sketch that I really liked and knew exactly what picture I wanted to use. 

With this sketch I used the collection "Hall Pass" by We R Memeory Keepers.  I used the paper No. 2 Pencil and Study Hall, stickers from the embossed sticker sheet, and "Top of the Class" tag.  For the title I used Foam Thickers from American Crafts called Eric.  I also used a piece of red cardstock.

I really liked the way this layout turned out. This was a great way to celebrate my son getting two star students in one day. He was so proud of himself and so were we. He even asked for me to take his picture!! Thanks for stopping by!!

14 Days

I did it! I finished the 14 days of the Big Idea Festival with Big Picture Classes. I am proud of myself for finishing. (Sorry I had to toot my own horn for a second.) I wanted to share a layout I did for one of the assignments. I had to use a big photo. If you know me I usually use a 4 x 6 photo. I used Bo Bunny's Timepiece Collection.

Happy Girl!

Yes, I am a happy girl. This past Saturday I got to go to my favorite store, The Scrapbook Princess!! There is nothing like going into a store and being surrounded by pretty paper! I picked up some items and a ton of Tattered Angels! I can't wait to play with it this weekend.
I am on the design team for TSP. This will be my second term. I am excited to be working with a great group of ladies. October 6th I will be teaching a layout class using Authentique's Enchanted. I love this collection! Here is a little sneak peak of the layout. I hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by!!
