More Simple Stories Urban Traveler

My last DT kit for Memorable Seasons consisted of Simple Stories Urban Traveler.  I love the colors in this collection, and just because it's travel-themed, doesn't mean it doesn't work for other projects!

I created this and it hangs on the knob of the armoire in our family room!  You've been warned!  I have a camera, and I'm not afraid to use it!

I used a travel collection to create a Christmas layout!  I love these self-portraits I snapped on Christmas Eve with my sister Susan and my brother Tom!  I love the way this layout turned out!

We were challenged by the AMAZING Colette to use a chalkboard background and a chalkboard font, and then her second challenge was to scrap a self-portrait.  I loved both challenges, and I decided to combine them!  Colette does a lot of those dotty circles, so I copies those too!  I think this layout is really fun, and I love those chalkboard fonts!  The lattice is by Jillibean Soup . . . very cool!

As always, thanks for stopping by!

Two-Page Layout with Trendsetter!

I love Fancy Pants Trendsetter!  I haven't done a two-page layout is SO LONG, but I saw a fabulous double page layout by the amazing Becky Fleck of PageMaps fame! This is one of the May 2013 sketches:

So, I decided to document the passage of time. This is "A Year In The Life". I added the ". . . well almost", because that last photo was taken when Emily was 11 + months! Just shy of one year old!

This is my SWEET Emily who is now 17 years old!  Isn't she a CUTIE!?!  
Here's a closer look at each side of the layout:

I used my fabulous DT kit from Memorable Seasons which features Fancy Pants Trendsetter! Love this collection!I love the way this layout turned out!  As always, thanks for stopping by!

February DT Kit!

 I LOVE my February DT kit from Memorable Seasons!  ♥  It features Pink Paislee's Secret Crush!

I snapped this photo of my Mom & Dad on Christmas Eve.  It's sad how much has changed for my Mom since this photo was taken.  It makes me happy that I got this photo taken!  My Mom looks so happy in this photo, and seeing joy on her face lately is a rare thing.  However, I hope and pray for better days ahead for her.  When I want to see true love, I don't need to look any further than my own Mom & Dad.

I also created this cute card!  Fun stuff!

Be sure to stop by Memorable Seasons!  There is ALWAYS something fun going on!

This fabulous image was on the backside of one of the papers.  I love the tone on tone!  I decided to showcase it on a card!  Of course, I added a jingle bell!  Jingle bells make everything more fun, don't you think!?!

I love making Christmas cards, so I made another one!  The greetings piece is a piece of chipboard.  Love it!  Another jingle bell!  What can I say!?!

August DT kit at Memorable Seasons!

Here are my August design team projects for Memorable Seasons!  I got to work with Crate Paper Little Bo Peep!  At first, I wasn't too excited about working with a baby collection, because I'm not crazy about pastels, but then I got the kit, and I mean, come on!  It's Crate Paper!  I love Crate Paper!  Plus, I have two girls, so I CAN work with pastels you know!  Here's what I created.

This is Emily!  Isn't she adorable!?!

OK, so now I have a baby card on hand.  My cousin's daughter is having a baby!  I know who I'm sending this to!  :)

This is Jessica on her first Easter!  She won that BIG basket!  This is a scraplift of Megan, who is the MS MOTM (member of the month).  It was so much fun going through her gallery to pick out a layout to scraplift!

More Simple Stories Summer Fresh

I created a lot with my Simple Stories Summer Fresh June guest DT kit that I got from Memorable Seaons!  Here's more!

I made this card for my dad for Father's Day.  Just kept it clean and simple!

I wanted to use a fun Stampin' Up stamp I got recently from the flea market I went to, so I inked it up and put it on a card.  Fan mail . . . cracks me up!

You can never have too many birthday cards, so I made one!  I think it's cute!

This was for a doodling challenge at Memorable Seasons.  I did all of the doodling freehand!  I love the way it turned out!  I just kept turning the page and adding more.  It was fun!

This was for a challenge to deviate from the norm.  Well, I normally buy a ton of stamps and then I don't use them.  So, on this layout, I stamped!  A lot!  Cute, huh!?!  I used a bunch of stamps.

Anyway, I created A LOT with my kit!  It was fun!  Thanks for having me Memorable Seasons!  As always, thanks for stopping by!

Five Layouts In One Day!

I'm not sure what was going on with me yesterday, but the scrappy mojo hit, and I created five layouts in one day! The first one uses an older kit from Inspired to Scrap! The photo is from 1998!! Wow, aren't the girls CUTE!?! I scraplifted a layout by Tami when I created that layout! The second layout uses a kit from Memorable Seasons. The third layout features one of my all-time favorites . . . Cosmo Cricket Snorkel! I love the Thickers on the Harley-Davidson layout! Shiny silver! Nice! The last layout is Basic Grey Lauderale. So, that was FUN!! Creating all day long is really a good time!

I hope you're having a great day. Thanks for stopping by!

I couldn't wait to dig in and use my Memorable Seasons kit! I used an awesome sketch by Liz at The Scrappiest! She's celebrating all week long because she has posted 100 sketches! Isn't that amazing? This is my take on sketch #101. I really loved using the kit! What fun! This is my mom! I love her! She's a great mom and grandma! I think this page is so pretty, and I love it! You can click on the layout to see it larger. I love the little heart detail that I created. I used the itty bitty stamp by Unity that was included in the kit. So cute! Love Unity Stamps! The photo of this layout is not the best, because it's been cloudy, foggy, and gloomy here for days now! I just wish the sun would come out! Oh well!

Have a great day, and thanks for stopping by!
