The brand new Lawnscaping Challenge 101 was posted a couple of days ago and it totally had my mind racing for ideas! The challenge is to use dots and stripes! I knew I wanted to create a layout using some of the awesome Lawn Fawn paper. I had several of the dots and stripes papers and so I got busy!
Click HERE to see all the details!
Here is what I came up with!
I combined the dots and stripe papers with some other Lawn Fawn papers and this is what I came up with. The photo is of the boys on Easter 2013. I love this photo of the two of them. I then added some Lawn Fawn flair and some Lawn Fawn stamps to finish off the layout! I totally LOVE how this turned out.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I have been really creative lately so I will be stopping in frequently! See you soon. Have a wonderful and crafty day!

I am popping in today to share a really quick layout I did yesterday. This is the first layout that I have done for myself in close to a year. Can you believe that? I am so behind in my scrapping that I was a bit overwhelmed and then I just went into my computer and picked a month and picked some of my favorite photos and got busy. I found these really cute photos of my hubby and oldest son sledding on a hill in our neighborhood. The two of them had such a great time and I was so happy I got to capture it. The photos aren't the greattest but I don't care because it is the memory to me not the quality of the photo.
I wanted a really easy design and went with a basic grid design that I use very often. I have had this Lawn Fawn paper collection for awhile and have been wanting to use it so I broke it out! I went with a very basic clean look for this one.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful and crafty day.

Happy Tuesday,
Today Some Odd Girl is having a new digi release. I am showing off today one of the new sentiments from the Loopy Sentiments digi cut file pack. These sentiments are just soooo cool! I LOVE them!
I chose the Sweet sentiment as a play on words for the gingerbread theme and because my boys look so sweet here together decorating the gingerbread house. I also used Gingerbread Kaylee stamp set!
I have a video for you on how this layout came about.

Happy Monday,
Today I have a a new post up over at Some Odd Girl for the weekly inspiration. For this post I made a new layout using the Sunshine Sorbet paper collection and of course, Some Odd Girl clear stamps! What could be a better combo. Right? Awesome Paper and Awesome Stamps!
This is a photo of my little one playing out in the snow. He looked so darn cute. I used the paper to layer underneath the photo and to create some hexagons. I thought that went well with the wood veneer hexagons and then I added some of the matching sequins. All of the these items (paper, wood veneer and sequins) are available in the Some Odd Girl Store!
I have a video for you on how this layout came about!

We all started back to school last week. The boys are happy with their teachers but I still can't get over that my baby is in Kindergarten. (sniff sniff!) My classes seem to be good so all is good. I am still scrapping summer though! Today I have a a summer layout using tons and tons of Core'dinations!
I love this photo of my hubby and son building a sand castle on vacation. They worked and worked! It was a great day!

I have a fun layout to share today. Once again I was busy scrapping and trying to use my stash! One of my favorite days is when we all gather together and decorate the tree. I am always so happy and t he kids have so much fun!
I made a quick video to share on how this came together.
I loved this these because I have sooo many photos to scrap from last summer and this summer! LOL! So for my challenge I broke out my Lawn Fawn Hello Sunshine collection and got busy!
Last summer we had such a fun adventure when we went on a Dolphin Cruise. It was so awesome! We saw several pairs of dolphins and they are just having so much fun. I loved every minute of it.
For my layout I got to include all my faves-- stamping and scrapping!
I have a video on how this layout came about.

I am so excited to share the Brand New Digi Release from Some Odd Girl. I am using the new Digi Cut Files. This collection contains some really awesome titles like Love, Oh Snap, and more! I used the title Love for my layout.
I am still on my quest to use up my paper along with getting caught up on my scrapping. With this layout I was able to score on both of my goals. Every year we make yummy Christmas cookies for Santa. The boys LOVE decorating their Christmas cookies. I also broke into my stash and found some buttons to add as embellishments. Isn't it funny that just a couple of years ago I used buttons on every project and I moved away from them once sequins and wood veneer came into popularity. Well, I got them out and I loved them!
I made this video on how this layout came about.

I was catching up on some blog reading the other day and found over at Chic Tags this awesome Sketch Challenge!
I loved this sketch. What got me was the 4 photos! I was wanting to finish off Easter and I had three photos to scrap so I got busy! Here is what I came up with!
I know my layout is a bit different but I kept some of the points the same. I love it when I have an idea and then when I am done it is totally different!
I wanted to scrap this weekend but I have to say I didn't have a lot of mojo so I found a sketch from Elle's Studio from their Sketch Thursday Challenge. I love these challenges to jump start me and I have to say this sketch was just so much fun to work with!
So I am still working on my goal to finish 2012 and so I have a Christmas Layout to share!
Can I just say I had so much fun playing with this paper collection. Love all the fun papers and fun embellishments.
I have a video for you on how I made this layout.

Our assignment from Core'dinations this month was to make a School layout or project. I had these photos of my son on his first day of school last year and so I broke them out and got busy. Love an awesome assignment! My creative juices were flowing. Here is what I came up with.
First, I layered my Core cardstock and sanded pretty heavily the grey piece.
Next, I ran some strips of cardstock in my embossing folder and sanded that. I love to sand!!
Here is my finished project. I added an apple from Some Odd Girl to help embellish the layout. I also had some odds n ends from LYB.
I have a video to share on how this layout came about.
Lawnscaping has a really fun fun challenge up-Watercolors!
At first I thought I would make a card but then I really wanted to use the Hello Sunshine collection on a layout. So I broke all my Lawn Fawn goodies out and make this layout- Oh Happy Day!
I used my watercolor paints in yellows, oranges and blue to mimic the sun peeking out of the clouds. I really had fun making it and I so love playing with the Lawn Fawn papers. This is my first time making a layout with the LF papers and I sooo love them!

I have had some extra time this past week to work on my own projects. I am trying to finish up my scrapping from 2012. I am on October so I have another Halloween layout to share.
I once again used some older Imaginisce paper. I think it is about 3 years old. My goal for the past year has been to use up my paper stash. I am really working on it and it is so much fun! When I was going through my photos I loved these three photos of my oldest and my hubby. We really had so much fun working on our pumpkins. I also wanted a fast layout to make. Sooooo I scraplifted myself. I love it when I can do this. Why invent something new when it worked the first time. Right?

I am back with you today to share the second day of the new Clear Stamp Release from Some Odd Girl. Today I am featuring School Supplies! This set is just so much fun. For my project I made a layout.
For my project I broke into my stash and found some leftovers from a very old collection from Little Yellow Bicycle. I then added my stamps to create my own embellishments. I stamped the crayon stamp on some of the pattern paper and fussy cut them out. I then used the sentiment "color me happy". I then added the A+ from the Teacher Mae set.

I had some time on my hands today and I say this awesome contest for being a Guest Designer at Back Porch Memories. They make awesome kits! I saw the sketch and my mind went a bit crazy. Here is the sketch:
I stuck to the sketch pretty closely but I wanted to make it a two photo layout. So here is what I came up with.
This was taken 2 years ago and Michael was painting and adding glitter to his "Golden Pumpkin". He got the idea from Jake and the Neverland Pirates. So me being the crafty mom we went out to Michael's and bought gold paint and gold glitter. I do have to say it turned out awesome! He LOVED it and I was so happy to see his huge smile!

Happy Tuesday!
I know it has been a long time since I stopped by to say hello. We were on vacation with very limited internet and I also have not been creative lately! I am still purging my supplies but things are getting back to normal. I am working on my DT work for July and I should be back to posting regularly! I have been itching to play with some challenges and start cardmaking and scrappping again!!! Summer is just always so hard for me - always so much to do!
Anyhooooo! I created this layout using the Core'dinations Tim Holtz cardstock. I love the impressions subway art becuase it makes creating a layout so easy. I used some photos of my boys playing with sparklers! The were having so much fun!
For my layout I used some Graphic 45 pattern paper along with the awesome Digi Cut File from Some Odd Girl as my title! To top it off I cut some stars and embossed then and added some wood veneer stars and called it a day!
I made a video on how I made this layout.
