Scrap Queen

  We spent a lot of time at Silverwood during the summer of 2019. And a lot of time we brought friends with us. This time Grace brought her friend Taylor and as girls are often to do they dressed alike. So of course photos were taken. To scrap these photos I used a sketch and a challenge from the Rochelle Spears blog and the Scrap With Stacy blog .  My Layout: The Sketch and the Challenge: I used: border punch, ribbon, stampin To Create this layout I used: DCWV: Lemon Flower paper stack American Crafts Project Life: Sweet Edition photo overlay Stampin Up: Oh, Goodie stamp - "enjoy" Martha Stewart: border punch Bits and Pieces Cricut DS image: banner Lacy Labels Cricut DS image: photo base DJ Flirt Cricut DS Font: "#summersquad" Paper Studio gems Krinkle Ribbon Thank you so much for stopping by!

 Every year I go with to a scrapbook retreat with my friend Jennifer. It is a long weekend of scrapbooking, eating, drinking wine and talking with friends. Sometimes we go for a walk, but it's a short one because we can't waste too much time on exercise. LOL. I decided to use a couple of photos from our 2019 retreat and a sketch from the Scrap Our Stash Challenge blog.  My Layout: The Sketch: To Create this layout I used: Bella Blvd Illustrated Faith: Bright & Brave American Crafts: "Whimsical" chipboard thickers Bits and Pieces Cricut Design Space Image: Banner Washi tape from my stash Thank you for stopping by!

 I don't know what it is about photos of people walking but I like them. These photos of the kids walking around at Silverwood Amusement Park  are so cute. I believe these photos were taken by my friend Gina. I used some really wild papers for this layout. It's so busy it's almost too much but I think I'm kind of in love with it.  To scrap these photos I used a challenge on the Rochelle Spears and the Scrap With Stacy blogs. I will also enter this layout in a challenge from the A Cherry on Top forum.  My Layout: The Sketch from  Rochelle Spears The Tic Tac Toe Challenge from  Scrap With Stacy I included embellie clusters, vellum, and foam letters The Embellishment Challenge from  A Cherry on Top list of ingredients: 1.

 Grace has been interested in acting for a long time now. She signed with MAM Talent in October of 2018 and has since been a few local and national commercials. Whenever there is an opportunity to working on her acting skills we usually try and take it. This photo was taken at the end of a Meisner Acting Workshop given by Lisa Skvarla. It was a such a great experience for her and was fun being the youngest actress in attendance.  I used a scraplift layout challenge from Scrap Our Stash to create this layout. I will, also, enter it in a challenge at the A Cherry on Top challenge forum.

 One of our favorite places to go is a downtown bakery called Woops  . We love their baked goods, especially their macaroons. Not to mention their coffee is so good!!!

 I wanted to enter the challenge over at Lasting Memories . The challenge is to scrap "then and now". Next up in my photos to scrap were the first day of school photos for 2019.

It was fun to see how much they had grown in just 2 years.  My layout: To Create this Layout I used: My Mind's Eye: Lost and Found - Breeze paper stack My Mind's Eye: Lost and Found - Breeze ephemera Project Life: photo overlay Little White Lies Cricut Design Space font Bits and Pieces Cricut Design Space diecut - banners Colorbox: Graphic 45 Antiquing dye ink pad - to distress Thank you so much for stopping by!

During the summer of 2018 we had a season pass to Silverwood. We went to the amusement park frequently so I have a lot of Silverwood photos to scrap. I decided to just showcase some highlight in our family album so we don't have a ton of layouts about the same thing. In this layout I focused on rides that go really high up in the air. Panic Plunge and Spin Cycle - two rides my son enjoys going on.  I used a sketch from Sketch n Scrap  to scrapbook these photos.

I am a Guest Designer at  Lasting Memories Scrapbook Layout Challenges  this month! And, I'm so excited to share the figth and final layout challenge for the month!  I decided to continue scrapping our move into our current home. We had decided to replace the carpets sooner rather than later due to the carpets smelling poorly after being shampooed. They needed replacing anyway, so why wait?! Since the carpets were pulled up we decided to pain the entire upstairs. It became a family affair and of course I took photos of everyone doing their part! My Layout : The Challenge: The challenges for April are all going to be word challenges where you use scrappy items or techniques for every letter of the word for that week.  This Week's Word is: RAIN Red Arrows Illustrated Faith New Coat of Paint - title To Create this Layout I used: We R Memory Keepers: Sports paper stack Illustrated Faith: Bright and Brave - arrow tab an...
