Diamonds are a girl's best friend...

This is going to make my daughter beat me senseless but...I just love her dance photos! They had the cutest routines! I sang this song the whole time I was working on this page...lol.

The song inspiration is from Crop Suey. We were encouraged to get our song and dance on! I went with the title of the song for her dance routine. I printed it out on white cardstock and added some "diamond" bling around the edge. The flowers are from the christmas stash and I just bought these huge bling pieces from Michael's. I needed 3 of them, and only 2 came out of the bag. I was just about to start swearing...then I realized the 3rd one was stuck inside the bag. I let out a big squeal of delight and had to peel my hubby off the ceiling...lol. He just doesn't understand my excitement sometimes...lol.

The sketch is from Scrapbook & Cards Today. It came at perfect time for this picture. I love all the different patterns.

And lastly, the color inspiration came from The Color Room. I just love all the color combinations they come up with.

Only You

ScrapFit challenged us to use the title "Only You" on our project this week. I've been struggling with what pictures to use for this one. I think I've gone through the box of pictures about 100 times this week.

I settled on this beautiful picture of my little guy. This was his 6 month picture. He is now 4 years old. :)

This sketch from Sketches in Thyme was the 2nd challenge for me. As much as I love working with multi photo sketches, every once in a while it's nice to just highlight one picture. I think I spend a little more time on them and get to play with more elements.

I used the Snuggle Bug Baby Boy kit from Little Yellow Bicycle. This is such a fun collection. I'm really glad I have more professional pictures from his baby days so I can play with these goodies a lot.

Okay....another page done....time to work on getting rid of this stupid headache....

Movie Night!

Here is a fun page I did for the challenge at The Paper Variety.

This week's challenge was to use the Movies as your inspiration. These are some funny pictures of my babies wearing these HUGE 3D glasses for the new Harry Potter movie.

The popcorn circle is a chipboard coaster from the $1 spot at Michael's. The film strip has been around forever.

For a little extra fun, I tore up little pieces of yellow tissue paper and balled it up to look like popcorn. It gives the whole page a little dimension and it's own 3D effect. And you don't have to wear big ugly glasses to see it. :)

Spring is here!

I love working with pastels!!

This week's Tuesday Trigger from Moxie Fab World was this beautiful skirt with gorgeous spring colors. I wish I had my flower pictures printed!!

I found these ancient papers in my stash. They are from All My Memories Couture line from a long time ago. I thought the colors were just right for the inspirational photo.

The sketch is #1 from Scrapbook Daisies. I love the die cut piece behind the photos. I used a chipboard piece from a Colorbok kit. A little bit of ink prettied it up just nice. I used a solid piece of paper behind the chipboard to tone down the background a bit. All of the flowers were from the stash. The butterfly stickers are new from Studio 112 from Joann's...only $1 for the whole set!. The die cut with the quote was another steal from Michael's. These are from K&Company and I found the whole pack in the clearance section...for $1!

This also completes Weekend Workout #5 from ScrapFit which was to use a Spring theme on your project.

One of these days, the rain will end and I will be able to get out and get more Spring photos. I managed to get some last week, but I know there are sooo many more photo ops out there! I'm thinking of heading to the conservatory..... :)

Enjoy your Saturday!

Blessings

Getting this done just under the wire! This is challenge #6 at Scrap Whispers. We had to use "leftovers" to create a page. I used lots of leftover pieces from a page I did earlier for them. You can see that page here Fall Cuties.

I used sketch #4 from Artful Delight. I had to flip the picture to fit the page.

So glad I was able to complete this page. I started it last night I almost fell asleep at my desk.

Have a great week!!!

Scrumptious Chocolate!!

More yummy pictures! Scrap Whispers Challenge #14 from Rosey was to create a page about chocolate. These were actually from 2 pictures leftover from the Chocolate Fest last year. I wanted to use them as accent photos, but I couldn't fit them in anywhere with the pictures of people. They were 4 x 6 pictures that I cut in half and matted. The background paper is from Creative Imaginations. I bought this just because I thought it looked so yummy. Between the paper being so detailed and then the busy pictures, there really wasn't much left to do with this page. The title is a mix of a sticker from the stash and a hodge podge of letter stickers. But overall I am happy to take these pictures out of the box and get them on a page.

This fun sketch is # 7 from Artful Delight. Gotta love those multi photo sketches! Thanks for the inspiration ladies!!!

Berry Sweet

More fun food layouts from Scrap Whispers!!

This fun challenge is from Sherri. She created this yummy layout and we were challenged to scraplift it in any way. I loved that cherry paper she used! I stuck with a cherry theme to finish up a few pictures from last year's cherry picking excursion. The black cherry patterned paper is from Creative Imaginations. The chipboard pieces are from Mary Engelbreit from Michael's. I used some foam letter Thickers which I colored red. I also used a fun stamp that I found in the dollar section at Michael's. I used up a few snaps to look like cherries.

The sketch is #219 from Sketch Inspiration. I love the multi-photos! And these were the final cherry picking pictures, so I was glad to be done with those too. :)
