Backyard Sledding Layout

Happy Saturday everyone....

This isn't my first post of the year..but it's my first layout of the year. So excited.

You know..I always scrap random pictures and this time, I scrap my son's first sledding experience.

It was about 4 years ago...

A good family friend lent us a baby sled. 

And with so much snow that year our backyard was the perfect place to have that first sledding experience.

Anyway...Here's the layout

I used this week sketch challenge from Sketch Inspiration.

Well...I will be making some more layouts...{yea...that's one of the goals this year...More Layouts!!}

and will be sharing them with you all too.

So, until then...

Choo-Choo Layout

I recently joined My Scrap and More Forum. What a fun place to hang out, and currently they're hosting an event called Scrap It to Win It Sketch-a-thon, a month long occasion with lots of inspirations and prizes to grab.

Anyway, here's one of my layouts for one of the challenges.

The layout is all about Dustin and his toy trains. I used patterned papers from Echo Park Little Boy collection.

Well, I hope you can join the fun.

See you all soon.

Watering The Garden ~ Sentimental Sundays # 66

Happy Sunday Scrappy Friends,

If you realize...I've missed a couple post for Week In The Life 2011 project and was late posting for Sentimental Sundays. I had a busy weekend. Between Saturday and Sunday..I worked 35 hours {2 overnights}.
I'm just so tired right now....

Anyhow...
This week challenge over at Sentimental Sundays is about Garden Party.
And here's my creation,

Some close ups,

Miss Phoebe loves watering the garden this Summer and I'm so glad to capture those moments on a Scrapbook layout.

On this project ~ I used a sketch from Sketchy Thursday, and the patterned papers are from Echo Park Sweet Summertime. I also added a digi image called a little birdie told me from Robyn's Fetish. And for the sentiment, I used the dollar stamp from Michaels. It says, "Remember to stop and smell the flowers".

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you will join the fun by playing along with Sentimental Sundays.
Have a great week.
Hugs,

Summer Mini Album ~ Smash Style

Hi scrappy friends,

I bet {by now} you must have heard the popularity of Smash Books by K&Company....and maybe you already owned one of them.

Well, I LOVE the whole ideas of smash book. I think it's creative and FUN.
So, when I received my first DT assignment from Simple Scrapper to make a DIY Smash Book...I was super excited.

Here's my version of Smash Book - Summer Mini Album

This simple and fun Summer Mini Album cost me nothing, not even a penny. I used all scraps and supplies I have and I LOVE LOVE how it turned out. It's a working progress...

I consider this as a mobile album. I can carry it with me anywhere and simply just add this and that. FUN right?

Now...I will show you all the pages. Ready? It's a lot...but I hope you enjoy it.

On this project, the patterned papers I used are from Echo Parks Dots & Stripes which I already have in my stash. I also added some note cards for journaling, coin envelopes and some tags.
Last but not least the cover is from corrugated cardboard.

I can see myself adding some more pages to this album...because Summer isn't over yet :D

Well...that's for today.
I hope you're having a wonderful and FUN Summer despite the hot and humid {and some heat waves} weather.
Hugs,

Fathers' Day Gift Project

Hi everyone and Happy Sunday.

A week from today we'll be celebrating Fathers' Day. So today, I'm going to show you a special project that I made for my husband.

This project is also my very first creation for Sentimental Sundays Design Team. And this week challenge {#59} is to create something related to Fathers' Day or you can make a Masculine Card.

So, without further ado..here's my project.

the closer looks,

This is {also} my first time working with canvas. It's not much different than regular scrapbooking, except this one is a lot of mod podging to seal the paper and picture.

The size of the canvas is 11x14, and I got it from Michaels when they're on sale. I used a sketch from Artful Delight June Sketch Challenge as a guidance. A simple sketch and totally rocks.

I really love how this project turned out, and my husband loves it so much too {it's kinda hard to keep this one a secret, he always gives me feedback and suggestion on my work}.
If you haven't tried scrapbooking on a canvas, you should give it a try. It's FUN!.

I'd like to submit this for the following challenges:
The Paper Variety ~ For the Guys Challenge
Artful Delight Kit ~ June Sketch Challenge
Polkadot Door Designs ~ June Inspiration Challenge {elements: Scribble Tiles}

Well, that's all for today. All I need to do now is making a Fathers' Day card.
Until then scrappers. Have a wonderful Sunday.

Hugs,

At The Park Layout ~ Sketch Thursdays June GDT Challenge

Happy Friday Scrappers,

I decided to try and join the Challenge for June GDT over at Sketchy Thursdays. And for this tryout, they provide a sketch and a picture inspiration.

So here's the challenge,

It's a lovely sketch, and I'm in love with the color combo from the picture. I gave it a try and I came up with this layout called 'At The Park',

I love the combination colors of Orange Pumpkin and Blue Sky, and right way it reminds me of this picture of our family.

This layout really shows my style ~ Colorful, Playful, Clean and Simple.

And if you pay a real close attention to my creations, then you know that I love to add dimensional to my layout. {I can't scrap without my pop dots. LOL}

Anyway, on this project, I let my son helped me. I asked his suggestions where to put the stickers and chip boards, and I did exactly as he said. Last but not least, I did a little final touches by adding some paints. 

This layout is all about FUN!

That's all for today. Thank you so much for stopping.

Hope you all have a wonderful scrappy weekend.

Take care. Hugs,
