Christmas Pjs

Finally got some Christmas pictures actually scrapped within a month of Christmas.. usually it's the following year they get scrapped!!! LOL... I used the October Afternoon Holiday Style line... one of my FAVES this year.. love the colors... I also played along with ScrapFit's #23 Weekend Warm up challenge, to use kraft as a background.. easy peasy for me, I LOVE kraft paper.. in fact, my stash is running low and I need more!! ACK!!

some blue bling, blue misting, and a snowflake:
the aqua and red match with the kids pjs.. perfect...

Thanks Card

I created this card today to play along with the Inspired By #8 challenge... I used some of the black and white and pulled a bit of the orange to create my card here. I also used the Skipping stone Sketch #112 for my card too.

Here's the pic for the inspiration:

Hi Card.

This is one color challenge that I couldn't resist... It's the EAD Jan Color Challenge... these are probably one of my fave color challenges that I started out scrapbooking years about, and is still a fave color combo today of mine. I also used the City Crafter challenge sketch for this card too. So here is what I came up with.

I added stitching, tearing, distressing, and some trim.

Swing... Child's Play

There's a new challenge blog that is up and going and having a DT call going on right now... It's called Child's Play and looks like they are going to have some SUPER fun challenges coming up.
Here is the first challenge for the DT call to be inspired by.... check it out, how much cool is that picture:

I added circles on the page that were pulled from the inspiration picture and added buttons also:
I love this picture of Austin swinging on the swings at Rocketship Park:
I used the primary colors from the inspiration picture for my layout:

Lil Sweetie.

I finally got quite a few pics of Chorley printed and I am sooo excited to finally get the chance to actually scrap them!!! Here are a few from one of my fave photo shoots so far, all the light was natural, I love how much natural light the house gets here. I used the Elle's Studio sketch to play along with and added a few of her goodies on the page too.

Used the quote: "live for today, enjoy the moment"

Hey Card

It's my first week playing along with a new challenge blog called Inspired By... this is for challenge # 7... It's a super fun inspiration... I choose the blues out of the pictures, pulled some yellow from the flowers and then added a few flowers to the card itself. Also I added some pearls which seem perfect for dressing up, just like in a wedding....
Here's the inspired pic:
Isn't it a fun???

Here's the fun prize RAK that is up for grabs for playing along....

A New Day Brings A New Wave...

When we went to Hermosa Beach over Thanksgiving break, this was one of my FAVE pictures that we took. Jeremy and the kids went down and couldn't resist putting their toes in the water for a cool dip, and I caught this shot from up on the pier... I used the MME blog challenge #31, the sketch and the word "New" for the theme... I mainly used the Breaking Free line while a few embellies from the Fine and Dandy line...
The quote: Dream Everyday of your life, is perfect for the photo and love it!!!

Welcome New Baby.

I played along with the MME card blog sketch #31 for this round. I have always meant to, but never quite get it done in time by the due date. The theme was "new" and nothing better than a new baby, so I made this card for the next time a friend has a lil new one. I mainly used the Breaking Free line, which has always been one of my FAVES!!!

Please VOTE for me...

I made it on to Round #2 at the Practical Scrappers layout contest going on right now, and here is my layout for the next round of voting. You can head over and vote HERE. I used Echo Park's Yours Truly line for this page.

I added a fan embellie:
punches some circles, crumpled them and added some bling:
I also added some fun distressing throughout the page, and some wooden hearts:
Thanks so much and hope you have a Happy Saturday....

Love.

Recently we went to El Paso for dinner, can I say I am soooo glad to be back by this yummy restaurant, so Jeremy and I took a pic. I love that we take more pics of us together. I used the My Scraps & More Friday the 13ths sketch for the page. I also used some yummy Echo Park Yours Truly line.

I punched circles and used pop dots to add some dimension on the page:
added a fun banner and some stitching too.
Happy Friday!!!!

Baby Love.- Sketches In Thyme #67

Today the new 2 page sketch is posted at Sketches in Thyme. It's a great one to get LOTS of fun photos on it and not look cluttered at all. I got photos of us all holding Chorley and a few of her still in the hospital. I used Jillibean's Hearty Barley Soup for this layout. Even though it's a Valentine's line, it's perfect for girl pages too...

Here's the double pager sketch #67:

Happy Thursday!!!! (one day closer to Friday.. wink wink)

Love You.

I am soooo sad that Sketchy Thursday is closing.. They have been one of my FAVE go to sketch sites to play along with for a loooong time. I had to play along with the last sketch, the 1.12 sketch. I used some Echo Park Yours Truly line for this photo of the kids. It's one of my FAVE photos that we've taken recently, esp cuz it has all 3 of our kids in the photo.

of course a banner and some hearts:
I added some stitching on the page, and sprinkled it with some bling:
Have a great day!!!!
