Preview of Wonderland by Scrapbook Circle

Today I wanted to share a short video I put together featuring my layout for the month of November using the kits from Scrapbook Circle:

Cruisin a lifted page.

I love scraplifting myself, it let's me be creative with the product right in front of me, AND add things that I wanted to add the first time!  For one of my challenges over at Scrapbook Circle I lifted myself:

I LOVED how this turned out-I remember this was the last page that I had created with my kit and I only had scraps left--I wanted to highlight what was in the kit, use my punches and HAVE fun!  This layout is one of my favorites..

So here is my lift:

I decided to go with one picture, change where the title was, and add some mist.  Other than that I tried to stay true to the my original page.  I found this fun picture of my son (who will be 16 soon!) from preschool, the teacher took it and I'm so grateful because I never would've had one had she not.  My kids have had FANTASTIC teachers that document...

For my lifted layout I used the Scrapbook Circle kit, Snapshot.  Love that I could highlight so much of this fun kit!  Thanks for the visit today!

For Mother's day this year we got to see both mom's in our family.  I took advantage of the family get together's to get some fun shots, this one is of the grandkids that were there at the party:

 I had so much fun adding touches here and there to this layout.  I think my favorite parts are the machine stitching and the embossing.  I honestly do NOT do enough of it--I still think it's like magic!  The stencil I used is exclusive to the Snapshot Scrapbook Circle kit this month.
Thanks for the visit today--Happy Saturday!

family together.

These two boys are seriously inseperable--they have ALWAYS been that way!  They were in heaven when we stayed with them for a week last summer.  So cute--I love this page because it's colorful just like these two boys!

Thanks SO much for the quick visit today--I created this page with the January kit from Scrapbook Circle called Fresh Start--thanks again!

she's back--Scrapbook Circle Blog hop!

This week Scrapbook Circle has teamed up with the Cut Shoppe by Ashley Horton.  I was really excited to be able to work with some of Ashley's cuts--in fact all of my layouts this month has something of Ashley's on them! ;)

Today though I want to focus on this layout:

 there are several different cuts on this layout--the title I made myself, the go is a SBC digital cut found HERE.  But the stars are from Ashley and they can be found HERE.  For this particular image I cut it in half.

This layout focuses on my daughter who suffered a sprained ankle and strained tendon--YES, very painful and A LOT frustrating--she had to sit out for 4 games-two weeks.  Super difficult for someone who LOVES the game of soccer and is used to starting.  She came back in this game and scored 2 goals and had several assists--fun to see her embracing her pent up energy!

Next hop is Rebecca Keppel

Thanks for the visit today--I REALLY appreciate it!

2014 year in review

So as I was looking through my folders "trying" to pick a favorite layout for each month, I had a difficult time!  I ended up with 19.  2014 was a super creative year for me and I really had fun looking through what I created, remembering why I loved each creation (For American Crafts, Scrapbook Circle, and Jillibean Soup), so in no particular order:

thanks for the visit AND for hanging out with me in 2014!  Happy New year!
