So we all know how much I love a scrapbook challenge with a sketch. So over at http://3scrappyboys.typepad.com/ they are having a challenge using the sketch above. I love sketches and using them as a starting point for layouts.
This layout is using paper from Carta Bella - Homemade with love collection. I will admit when I first saw this paper I knew instantly I had to have it and wanted to make a fun layout with my daughter making her first gingerbread 'house' aka train.
This has now become a fun family tradition. She loves making gingerbread houses and stuff.
I used the basics for the sketch but added 3 photos however I used the paper stripes, and then the fun little epoxy stickers. I added a fun little heart paperclip from Webster's pages. I also used my cricut and cut the word Family Tradition from the Teresa Collins - cartridge - Sophisticated.
I will say I love using my home printer to print these "wallet" sized photos. As you can see from the changes I added a few more photos - but still kept a little angle.
The "journaling" is fun little words from My Minds eye.
Welcome to the fun filled events for the National Scrapbook day hosted by several other wonderful ladies who have a passion for crafting. I'm glad you've joined us for these fun events. If you haven't visted the cricut message board I recommend doing so lots of fun challenges, tutorials, chats and prizes given away.
The challenge I'm hosting is the The Crazy B's... That's right...
For this challenge please create a project using the following: Buttons, Brads, Bling and a baby. This challenge will end on May 12 at 8:00 PM and all enteries either on the blog or the message board will be entered for a prize.
I saw this funny photo of my daughter and thought it would be GREAT to share and make a cute and fun layout with it. This photo was taken a couple of years ago but I love the look and finger pointing she has.
She is just as silly now as she was then. I just love her silly face and this silly girl. She's just so much fun.
So now that you've seen my challenge inspiration lets see yours.
I will say I have used the Cool Summer collection by Carta Bella.
The flowers are cut from cricut basic at 1" and 1/2"
I added the cut little brads inside the flowers.
The bling is these cute little pearls.
Then I had to add a few buttons to make it just a little more fun.
I don't normally use the sticker letters in the packs but thought these were just darling.
The date stamp is a roller stamp - from Amy Tangerine
Hope you enjoy and
Happy Scrappin'
