My Birthday Layout

-
I have been working on scrapbooking my 40th birthday from 2018. I don't often scrapbook myself and in light of that I ended up with several layouts of my party. I figured, why not???

Here is the last one.
 I used a sketch from the Stick It Down blog. 




The Sketch:





To Create My Layout:

Stampin Up: Kaleidoscope paper pack
Diecuts from stash
Sweet treats Cricut Cartridge: "happy birthday"
From My Kitchen Cartridge: Ice Cream Cone die cut
Scenic Route: Chipboard flower frame
Washi Tape from my stash - covering the chipboard frame
Glitter Brads from my stash


A Closer Look:





Thank you so much for stopping by!



Blessings,

    That ice cream cone die cut is adorable! I love what you did here and I'm so glad you decided to scrap yourself. It's important for your kids to see their mom having fun too ;) Thanks for joining us at Stick It Down this month!

    I love how you interpreted the sketch, and I love the frames on the layout! I know it's difficult to scrap yourself ( I still cringe every time I use a photo of me), but it's important! Thanks for scrapping along with us at Stick It Down this month!

War Binder

We are now into August and I have been thinking a lot about the fact that school is coming. I have been homeschooling my daughter for the past year and a half. She is now going to go to a Christian school in the fall for junior high. I can't believe that she is in 7th grade already! I am both sad for me and excited for her. One of my favorite things about homeschooling, besides having my daughter home with me everyday, was using my Happy Planner for lesson planning. I love my lists and seeing my week planned out on paper. So, I was thinking through how to make a good use of my Happy Planner this coming year. I a blog post on how to set up a  War Binder .

Let's Scrap - Friends Forever

Since moving away from my home town I don't get to see my old high school/college friends very often. There was a core group of us that hung out beginning in high school and we are all friends still. The one friend that was responsible for all of us meeting and ultimately becoming friends was getting married. It was so fun to all be back together for an evening. What was also fun was seeing all of our children together. Definitely one of those sentimental moments that needs to be scrapbooked and kept for all time! Let's Scrap has a fantastic sketch up on the blog that was perfect for these pictures. This sketch included a fun element: booklet. At first I had some trouble figuring out how to do this but then it became clear. I hope you enjoy the layout and the booklet as pictured for you below. I decided to use the left side of the layout. And I hope you are inspired to try this fun element on your next layout! The Sketch: My Take (on the left side of the...
