My favorite subject to scrapbook:  my family!

 

This layout shows my mom and my hubby in Puerto Rico! 

 

I created this layout based on the lovely and simple sketch at

Let's Capture Those Sketches #149

 

I used Simple Stories Year O Graphy, American Crafts thickers, some very old flowers, Quick Quotes Powderpuff chalking ink, buttons from Michael's Craft store, and some miscellaneous font stickers and brads! 

Bo Bunny "On the Go" Mini Album, Part 2

Front Cover

 Pages 2-3

I knew I would have more photos that I wanted to include in my album than would fit on the included pages, so I came up with a very simple fix!

 

Pages 4-5

Pages 6-7

This album documents a big day in the life of our youngest son, and our lives, too!  These are just a few of the pages in the mini album, and there will be more to come later!  The album and most of the supplies are part of the Bo Bunny "On The Go" collection.   I really adore this collection because it basically fits so much about my littlest boy's life, personality, likes and activities!

 

 

Pages 8-9

You may be able to tell that several of the pages in my album are just rectangular in shape, and that is because I cut additional pages from large black sheets of chipboard with my kraft knife, matched the holes and punched!

 

Pages10-11

 

 

Pages 12-13

I added journaling where I could find a tiny spot!

 

Back Cover 



In addition to the collection, I have used some American Crafts thickers, some Jenny Bowlin journaling cards, Quick Quotes Powder Puff chalk inks, October Afternoon font stickers, Adorn It font stickers, a Marvy Uchida journaling marker, lots of Glue Dots, and lots of buttons.

 

I hope you enjoyed being "On the Go" with us!

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!

Craft Your Passion: Challenge #127 Blast From The Past

I chose Challenge # 109 Distressing -  I love to distress everthing that has an edge!!!

 

I used these products:

Simple Stories Year-O-Graphy

Bazzill cardstocks

Close To My Heart paperclips

American Crafts thickers



the life: simple

I created this layout to feature one of the most important sons in my life, and the most important earthly man, my husband of 11+ years!  In these photos we are in Puerto Rico on vacation, just enjoying God's magnificent creation, and one of our favorites, the ocean!   

 

Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him. - Psalm 127:3  is truly one of my favorite Bible verses, because I have all sons, and none of them are fruit of my womb, so they are much more of a gift to me.

I designed this layout with Scrapping Everyday Miracles challenge #20 Let's Hear It For The Boys in mind!  The challenge was to feature the men/boys in your life, and the scrap twist was to use photos of at least 2 shapes!  This is right up my alley, as I love to use my punches for circle photos! 

 

For this layout, I used the Simple Stories Year-O-Graphy collection, Bazzill cardstock, Fiskars large circle punch, CTMH small circle punch, font stickers from October Afternoon and Adorn It, and Basic Grey brads. 



What I Love At The Sea

 

I created this layout for these creative blog challenges:

 

My Scraps and More: Scrap Stash

http://myscrapsandmore.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=stash&action=display&thread=4041

I used LOTS of old plain flowers, and layered them, securing them with staples!  I was happy to use up some of these flowers from my stash!

 

4 Crafty Chicks: Metal

**I used metal colored staples, and metal paperclips.**

http://4craftychicks.blogspot.com/2012/09/challenge-106-metal-and-blog-hop-gdt.html

I frequently forget about using my stapler, although I love the result every time I do!  I also have had these paperclips for years,. and am so excited about using them!!!

 

Challenge Up Your Life: Patchwork

http://challengeupyourlife.blogspot.com/2012/09/challenge-up-yourlife-77-patchwork.html



 What a unique challenge!  I used a tiny square punch and lots of my favorite scraps of paper and created my mini patchwork!  I will certainly use this technique again!

 

I used these supplies, tools and products in my layout:

 

Simple Stories Year-O-Graphy paper collection

Fiskars tiny square punch

Prima flowers

Recollections flowers

Close To My Heart paperclips

Jenny Bowlin font stickers

American Crafts thickers

 Making Memories staples

Jenny Bowlin font stickers

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?
