All My Faves: A layout for Scrapping Everyday Miracles

I'm a new member of the Design Team at Scrapping Everyday Miracles blog, and the July Main Challenge is to scrap about your favorites, and to incorporate the twist of office supplies!

 
This was an easy topic for me:  family, fun and fellowship!  These shots are from a birthday party a few years ago, and I was blessed to get so many pics of our family members, together!  The office supplies I chose to use were the 6 red paperclips, and the green staples on the corners of the photo mattes!  I used a combination of Simple Stories, My Mind's Eye, Pink Paislee, and Bazzill cardstock!  I am really into using little banner strips currently, so I made several of them with   
     scraps!

*** Get over to Scrapping Everyday Miracles and enter some of the challenges, and giveaways!**

AND get ready for the 2nd Birthday Celebration Blog Hop at Scrapping Everyday Miracles on July 11th-14th! ***

 

Not A Cloud In The Sky

 

I created this layout of my happy boy with the sketch from Sketches in Thyme current challenge in mind!  I loved the simplicity of this sketch, which gave me a place to start, and some room for creative freedom!

Our Story

 

What a fun sketch, challenge and word to use all together on one layout!  I created it for these 3 challenges, and had a lot of fun putting the pieces together!  Our adoption story, now 4 years old, is one of my favorites to scrapbook!

This layout, and this photo, reflects one of my major personality traits - curiosity - especially about nature and even moreso about animals! One of my favorite activities when we go to any body of water is to search for animal life! And this layout reflects some of my favorite elements to use when I scrap - FLOWERS, pink, polka dots, layers and distressing!  What do you like about nature?
