Amusement Park

Image
 We love going to our local amusement park, Silverwood . On this trip we were celebrating our friend's birthday. The boys had a great time hanging out at the park, riding rides, playing carnival games, and eating sweet treats. It's always such a good time and good memories! To scrap these photos I used a sketch from the Stick it Down blog . My Layout: The Sketch: To Create this Layout I used:  American Crafts Project Life: Kraft Edition paper pack American Crafts: Family Alpha Thickers Echo Park: That's My Boy element stickers Little Yellow Bicycle: Generation Foil Accents (circle embellishments) Fancy Pants: Off To School chipboard stickers - "one way", "buddies" When I Was a Kid Cricut DS image: "Amusment Park" Cricut Basic Shapes: Squares Thank you so much for stopping by!

Blue Dog RV

Image
  My daughter landed the lead in a local RV commercial last year, Blue Dog RV . She had a blast playing the part of the Orientation Specialist. She had quite a few lines and some changed the day of the shoot. She was a trooper and amazed the director with her ability to memorize so quickly. It was also my son's first time being in a commercial. Unfortunately, his part ended up on the cutting room floor. But, if you look closely you can see him in the background in the beginning of the commercial. Tough breaks. He was part of the day so on the layout he goes! If you want to check out the commercial click HERE .  My Take on the Sketch: The Sketch: To Create this Layout I used: Amy Tangerine: Sketchbook paper stack Suburbia Cricut Design Space - camper When I Was a Kid - film strip (title base) Simple Celebrations - font Video camera and Clapper - FreePik Miss Kate's Cuttables - fimstrip Kaisercraft: Distressed Overlays Thank you so much for stopping by!!!

The Mountains are Calling

Image
For these fun photos taken at Lookout Pass Ski Resort I decided to use a sketch from the  Scrap Our Stash  blog. This was suppposed to be a cartoon inspired sketch challenge. I will say that my layout started out inspired by the colors of the Smurfs but them morphed into the layout you see below. Does it count if it started out inspired???? What happened was that I had papers of the smurf holiday colors but then remembered that I had bought a kit from Simple Stories specifically for snowboarding photos and then it moved in a different direction entirely. I do have my bow on there as well as gold lettering in my title.  Here's my layout below: And the layout and cartoon inspiration: To Create my Layout I used: Simple Stories: Sub Zero base paper, stickers, chipboard, diecuts Fancy Pants: Timbergrove - background square papers and tag Free SVG file online: Title  Stampin Up: green bow paperclip twine I used the following sketch from A...
