DIRECTIONS:

Elliott one year old layout

Here is my layout for today.  I really liked how this one turned out.  I love mixing different patterned paper together!!!   I even made my own file folder.  I used a sketch from The Memory Nest

Bree layout

I put this layout together this morning, it actually came together rather quickly.  This is my niece Bree's kindergarten picture.  I like how the layout came out, especially since I was able to use some scraps of patterned paper and embellishments that were sitting on my scrap table left over from another layout (magic mesh, pearls, and a button).   I used a sketch from My Scraps & More Sketches

Here's the sketch

Mason birth layout

Here is the layout I finished up this morning.  It is of my nephew's birth, who was born 8 weeks early.  He was soooo tiny!!!

I used a sketch for the layout.  The sketch is only a one page layout, and I used the sketch as inspiration and produced a two page layout.  The sketch is from ScrapMuch?

Here's the sketch


And here is my layout

A very simple and quick layout for today. Sorry that there is a bit of glare on a couple of the circle chipboards at the bottom.   I used a sketch from Inspired Blueprints

Swimming layout

I completed this layout this morning using a color challenge at ScrapMuch?.  I tried to use only the colors in the challenge, but other colors kept popping up in my layout.  Oh well, at least the page is done and I really like how it turned out (and I didn't use a sketch).

Here is the color challenge

Parade layout

I finished this layout today.  I used a sketch as inspiration and really liked the strips of paper behind the photos, so went with that and used it on a 8.5x11 page instead of a 12x12.  I really like how it turned out.  Very simple.  The sketch is from Creative Scrappers for the May sketch challenge.
