Everyday Girl Layout

Hello!  I always wish I had more time to scrapbook.  This month for my DT assignments, I mixed in a few layouts!  Here is one I created for the SRM Stickers Blog today:

These photos of my daughter Natalie were taken a few years ago but they show so much of who she is.  I love them!  She is an easy going, happy girl who is up for just about anything!  She loves to be outside and she loves all things pink! :)

I chose the Express Yourself - Everyday Girl Sticker Sheet to work with since the story I want to tell is about Natalie's everyday attitude.  I also pulled out a Sticker Stitches- Black Sticker Sheet and Solid Pink Sorbet Baker's Twine to use as accents.  The papers are from Bella Blvd and my layout inspiration came from Sketch 440 by Scrapbook Challenges.

Thanks for reading today!

A Scrapbook Page...

Hello!  Happy Tuesday!  We are enjoying a snow day after a three day weekend- the girls are loving it!  We are hoping to get enough to make snow ice cream for the first time!  I found a recipe on Pinterest and I can't wait to try it out.

I realized I didn't have time last week to share my layout based on the latest Inspired Blueprints sketch. This is based on sketch #117:

The pictures are from one of our many adventures we took last summer- our hike through the Snoqualmie Tunnel.  I loved it but I knew what I was in for- these kids may have other words for it- scary, long, dark... but I think they still enjoyed it! Hee!

I mixed a few different collections on this one.  The patterned papers are by Fancy Pants, the postcard and sequins are from my Teresa Collins stash, the ribbons are by Stampin' Up!, and the mist and extra embellishments are by Studio Calico.  I love how they ended up looking great together!

This was such a fun sketch to work with!  Pop over to the Inspired Blueprints Blog to check out the original idea along with the design teams excellent layouts.  You can link up there if you create your own sketch for a chance to win, too!!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Epcot's China Pavilion Layout

Hello!

It's Friday!!! Yay!!!  And it's a three day weekend- even better!  We have some fun things planned starting with dinner out tonight :)  I'm already looking forward to the enchiladas at our favorite restaurant!  Hee!

While I'm waiting for my hubby to get home from work, I thought I'd pop on and share my layout I created for Inspired Blueprints this week.  This is inspired by sketch #109:

I loved this sketch and chose a couple of my Disney photos to scrap.  These are from Epcot Center.  I mixed papers from Echo Park, Pink Paislee, and Elle's Studio on this one.  The stamps are by Lawn Fawn.

Pop over to the Inspired Blueprints blog to see the original sketch!   Check out what my teammates made, too- they are such an inspiring bunch!

Hope you have a great weekend!!

A Happy Girl Layout

Happy Monday!  Hope your week is off to a great start!  I saw that Inspired Blueprints posted their latest sketch over the weekend so I thought I'd pop on and share my take this morning- it's Sketch #107!

I took these photos of Zoey on the first day of school last month.  They are some of my favorite of her- she was so happy!  When I got the new You Are My Happy collection from Teresa Collins I knew they were perfect for each other!

I followed the sketch for the most part- adding some layers of patterned paper behind the photos.  I added a cluster of embellishments from the collection to the left side, finishing it off with a bit of twine.  My favorite thing about this collection is the metallic prints- the rose gold hearts here are to-die-for-cute!

 I loved Sketch #107!  It was so inspiring!  I also loved seeing what each of the design team members created!  Pop over to the Inspired Blueprints blog to check out their pages- there are so many talented designers this season!

Well, hope you have a great Monday!  I've got a big to-do list this week- the Scrapdoodles Retreat is this weekend!!!  Gotta prep for my class and figure out what I'll be working on all weekend! :)  At least it's a fun to-do list!

Thanks for stopping by!

It's Inspired Blueprints Sketch Day!

Good morning and happy Friday!

The week may have gone by fast but I'm still glad it's Friday! :)  Almost all the snow has melted and I'm thinking we will be having a pretty nice weekend.  I'm looking forward to some sunshine!

Well, since it's Friday, you know there is a new sketch up on Inspired Blueprints today!  Inspired by Sketch #86, I created this layout:

I enjoyed this sketch and used it to scrap another Disney memory, meeting the Green Army Man from Toy Story!  My nephews were thrilled to meet him- can you imagine your favorite toys coming to life?  :)  I had two 4x6 photos so I used those in place of the larger 6x8.  

I've mixed a few of my favorite lines for this one- the background is by Teresa Collins Designs, the red is by Crate Paper, and the turquoise is by Lily Bee Designs.  There are embellishments from Jenni Bowlin, October Afternoon, My Mind's Eye, Crate Paper, American Crafts, and Stampin' Up! 

The spots are done with a Prima Stencil and my Stampin' Up! Crumb Cake ink.  I wanted it to look a little random and messy.  I added the baker's twine by We R Memory Keepers last, using my Tiny Attacher to staple it to the page.

Here is a look at the sketch I started with:

I had a great time playing along this week!  If you have a chance, please check out the other design team members' pages too!  They are all so creative!!

Hope you have a great day and a great weekend!
