More layouts...some new...some old

I thought that I would add some more scrapbook layouts that I have finished. Some are older ones that I finished this last winter and some are ones that I have just finished. Hope you enjoy!

Let it snow

This was a layout that I made this last winter. My boys did NOT like the snow at all! This was their reaction every time we tried to take them outside. I love this line of paper (Bo Bunny - winter whisper)

Family Christmas picture

This layout was also made this last winter. This ended up being our family Christmas picture. I really love this layout. I haven't added the journaling yet...I really need to do that. (Sorry for the quality of the picture...I am trying to work on it. )

Time to Move

This layout is about my son when he is first learning how to walk. It was so cute watching him trying to balance himself as he walked across the floor. I used Teresa Collins Journal-It for the background. I added a Heidi Swapp ghost clock, Tim Holtz grungeboard letters (that I painted with crackle paint) and Jenni Bowlin studio calender cards. On the arrow, I cute strips of paper and glued them down, then covered with glossy accents.

Panda Bears

This is a layout that I just completed from last Halloween. We had panda bear costumes for the boys, and they went trick-or-treating at the mall with their pumpkin baskets. I made some of the background paper for this page...

I took a white sheet of paper, crinkled it up and inked the creases with black distress ink. Then I took the ink blending tool and added some tea dye distress ink. Next, I stamped the wording across all of the paper and then tore some of the edges. It was a lot of fun! I was trying an example from the Tim Holtz website, where he shows you demos of what you can do with all of his products.

and last, but not least....

In my froggy pj's

This was my version of a layout that my good friend Danella came up with. I just loved it and had to try it for myself. The only real difference was the circle with the frog in it that I used for the "O" and the circle of green plaid paper behind the picture that I am going to use for the journaling. The two frogs and the dragonfly were cut out from the die cut machine at craft warehouse, and is chipboard covered with paper.

New layouts

This is a mothers day layout that I made for the Craft Warehouse scrapbook club challenge. I used the new Basic Grey - Wisteria line. The challenge was to use stamps on the layout. I stamped the flowers and popped up the middle and used them as "o's" to complete my title. I used three different sized flower stamps in completing the flowers at the top of the picture. (I also had to cut each one of these out! What that means is that there had to be no, and i mean no, white space on the outside of these flowers.) There is a lot of layering and distressing. I used the making memories edge distresser around each of the papers, which trust me, is a lot easier than trying to use scissors!

This is a layout of our first family trip to the beach! The flourishes are Tim Holtz grungeboard with distress stickles. (Thanks for the idea Danella!) I used crackle paint, distress ink, and distress stickles on the lettering, and used fragments to highlight the journaling. I also stamped on the strip on paper behind the word beach and used an ink blending tool to add some walnut stain distess ink over it. The "netting" was ribbon I found and then inked. It was a lot of work, but also a lot of fun. One of my favorite layouts that I have done.
