AMOUR

Today I have another seasonal layout to share....and the season is Love with Valentine's Day just around the corner. This layout features a picture of my daughter and her boyfriend taken around Christmas.

And some closeup details....

There is a fun challenge at Scrap Our Stash for February called SWAK!

And the challenge is to create a layout with Red AND/OR Pink (50% of layout) with the following stash items: 

S. - Stitching (machine, hand or faux), W. - Washi Tape
A. - Arrow, K. - Kraft paper/embellishment

I used the following Red Paper by Fancy Pants (it is a dark red, but showed up maroon in the photo) and red Thickers. I machine stitched some accents; I used Chalk Studio Washi tape by MME; I cut an arrow out of co-ordinating paper and my Kraft paper item is a mini bag by Canvas Corp. Other items used by Cosmo Cricket, Making Memories and Recollections, Martha Stewart.

I would also like to submit this to The Paper Girls Challenge Challenge #49 Love Your Love

So Much Scrappy Fun

It has been another very snowy day in Southern Ontario....but we are all home safely, so I thought I would share another layout! My inspiration came from Sketches in Thyme Challenges #122.

Here is my layout....

This photo was taken at our first Scrapfest experience. We had a blast!

Materials - Paper by Pebbles; Embellies - Basic Grey, Bo Bunny, & My Mind's Eye. The title was loot from a Scrapmuch? crop.

And here is the sketch....

Stay warm and have a scrappy night!

BELONG

For this post, I created a layout of our dog, Molly when she was about 8 months old. I used a sketch from Scrap & Music Sketch #20 & Ho Hey by the Lumineers. The word from the lyrics I choose for my layout is BELONG.....

Here is my layout....

With some closeup shots....

And here is the sketch.....

Product List - Paper - Three Bugs in a Rug & American Crafts; Embellies - Venus, American Crafts, Studio 112, Heidi Swapp, Rcollections & Paper Addict.

I really enjoyed this challenge....great idea!

It is February, so of course we have to do some Valentine/Sweetheart pages. This layout has two of my sweethearts in it along with myself! And the photographer is another one of my sweethearts, my 7 year old grandson and it was one of the first pictures he has ever taken.

I used My Scraps & More Sketch #66 for my layout.

And a few details.....

Materials.....Papers - Anna Griffin & Fancy Pants; Embellishments - Momenta, Unique, Maya Road and Queen & Co.

I would also like to enter this layout at Colorful Creations February Challenge - Time to be Inspired.

I was inspired by the colours! And the theme!

Good Bye Old Tree

Last summer we had to have a mature tree cut down as it was dying and we were afraid it was going to fall over with the wind. This tree was one that I had used several times to take pics of our Grandsons. I took the opportunity to have one last photo shoot with the boys and the tree. Here is a layout with a couple of those photos. Appropriately I named it Good Bye Old Tree.

And here are some closeups....

I picked up an old dictionary at a book sale to use in my scrapbooking. I used the page with tree for this layout.

I used the Let's Get Sketchy January Week 2 sketch for inspiration. 

I distressed my papers and embellies (which was difficult for me...lol!) to submit 

to Two Scrapbook Friends January Crafty Challenge which is distressing.

Here is the sketch.....

Supplies used Papers & Embellishments - October Afternoon - Sasparilla 8X8 Paper pad;

Lettering - Authentique and Thickers; Metal Key and Owl - Momenta

Have a crafty day!
