wedding party

These two boys are the best of friends and got to be a part of their cousin's wedding party last year-SO super fun!  I used up some leftovers-which I have A LOT of!

Just a quick post today sharing some FUN!!   Thanks SO much for the visit!

Hershey track

Been using up my scraps to create fun pages with my pictures-love the NO stress of combining and using certain products.  Literally this product is 6-7 years old, and guess what?  I STILL love it!

Fun thing is that all of these kids are MUCH older now and have done track in high school AND I got to be their coach!  GOOD times for sure!

awesome.

For this layout I wanted to keep it simple-love the clean lines and GORGEOUS paper by Jillibean Soup!

Thanks for stopping in for a visit-hope your day is FANTASTIC!!

family

 This fun picture was taken on Mother's day 2016-fun to have some of the cousins together-and take a picture with their grandma!  Here are some closeups of the details of the page:

 the bohemian pattern is right up Grandma's alley-totally reminds me of her! ;) . Thanks for the visit today!

Today was Awesome-with a process video!

I haven't again fallen off the planet-I've been about 1500 miles traveling for Fall break with my kiddos having a BLAST!  Well, I am back and I have a layout and a process video to share with you today!  I used the Paradise Cove Full Bundle:

The finished product:

Thanks for tuning in today!  Have a FANTASTIC one!!

Love This-with Paradise Cove

I loved using the Paradise Cove digital kit by Scrapbook Circle-You can print your paper and embellishments at home!  I used the digital bundle that includes physical embellishments, digital cut, Printed papers, PDF files, and a Travel Journal.

I wanted to use the colored background to help celebrate the first day of school for my boys-loved using the little cactus and palm tree as accents (because we live in the desert).  As you can see I created an 8.5 x 11 page, LOVE scrapping that size! 

Thanks for the visit today-I'm off to organize my pantry-something I have been putting off for days!

Eighteen.

I loved working with the Scrapbook Circle kit for July-such GREAT papers that worked for themselves!  Of course I had to give it some bling-I honestly LOVE this paper-isn't it FANTASTIC?!

Here are some closeups:

This beautiful girl just turned 19 this last week-she was here to visit from college-it was SO fun to go on some adventures and do her makeup!

She was such a GREAT sport-I did a live and I shared it to my business page; Gloss, Color, and Sparkle if you would like to watch it-she honestly CRACKS me up: 

Thanks for the visit today!

beautiful.

I loved using the large pattern flower paper for the background of this layout.  This was from my girl's senior prom.  We took the pictures in a large beautiful park-there were TONS of kids there getting their pictures taken.  We took advantage of the opportunity and took several pictures with her friends that were in different groups.  These two have been friends for quiet a while and was such a treat for me to see all the kids dressed up and looking GORGEOUS!

I used the Sunshine Days kit to create this layout-love how the gold just fits right in!  Here are a few closeups:

hello sunshine.

What a wonderful trip this was about 5 years ago-I was so glad to FINALLY find something to scrap it with! ;) . 

I wanted to focused on the Crate Paper Oasis Ephemera included in the Scrapbook Circle Sunshine Days kit for my embellishements-here are some close ups:

 I also used the Happy Life add on- seriously LOVE the buttons!  Thanks for the visit today!!

happy.

For this layout I wanted to use SEVERAL strips of paper on my layout-I decided to cut the papers in different widths, super happy with the results:

Here are a few closeups:

For this layout I used the Sunshine Days and Happy Life add on.  Thanks for the visit today-hope I inspired you! ;)

homecoming.

 I had SO much fun taking the pictures for this group of guys and their dates-I LOVED capturing the flowers that they wore with the paper I used for the background, I used the Take Note kit from Scrapbook Circle-LOVE this kit!!

 Thanks for the visit!

Mother's Day

Yes, a week later and I'm still posting about Mother's Day, my day was wonderful last week being with my mom and my kids, very relaxed is exactly what I had on the menu which was perfect!

This was actually a fairly quick layout, I just kept layering up with the fun embellishments from the Take Note Scrapbook Circle kit:

Thanks SO much for the visit today-Happy Sunday!

State Fair.

Time sure flies-I honestly can't believe that this happened in October last year-my boy and his friends went to the State Fair to be part of the day time entertainment.

 I was challenged to use the bits and pieces by Elle's Studio in the Take Note kit-I had SO much fun seeing where I could attach more embellishments-here are some closeups:

 Don't know how it is where you are at but this is my kiddos last FULL week of school-where has time gone?  Thanks for the visit!

Waite Clan

We took these family pictures at Thanksgiving this past year using a remote-I always sign wedding registries and family letters-the Waite Clan, so I thought- "why not do a layout with that title?"

I loved using Our Story kit from Scrapbook Circle for this one-the background paper is ONE sheet-isn't it FANTASTIC?
Here are a few closeups:

 I just love the shine of the gold!  Thanks for the visit today!!

Tough.

Do you EVER have those workouts that totally wipe you out?!  The day I took this picture was one of those days!  I tell ya, my girl was training for her College track team and I decided to do sprints with her-I hadn't really done sprints in like ummm...20 something years!  Honestly though I didn't do to bad for an OLD lady! ;)

 Up close and personal:

 For this layout I LOVED using the March Kit from Scrapbook Circle titled; Our Story.  Super fun embellishments and paper-the colors were seriously AMAZING to work with!

Happy Summer-yes please!

I LOVE summer-a time with no schedule and play time-this past summer was special because we got to spend time with cousins-these two have been buddies since they were little.  The background and papers are from the Happy Place kit from Scrapbook Circle--SO fun!

Here are a few closeups:

 For the background cut I cut it in white and then use my water colors and painted the background--I used the colors that are in my son's shirt.  LOVE how it turned out!
Thanks SO much for the visit today!

Prom girls.

I have to confess I LOVE flowers.  I love them on pattern paper, as embellishments, shapes–you name it, I gravitate toward it!  So when I saw the Doodle Daisy background I HAD to use it, and that was even before I knew what I would use it for! 😉  I looked through my pictures and found some of my daughter and her friends at Prom-their dresses matched the paper in the kit and the cut was perfect!

I wanted to use something fun and whimsical for the title so I used the Simple Set Alpha.  I cut everything out in white card stock and sprayed it with Color Shine to match the colors in the picture and paper.  I love this combo!

Thanks SO much for the visit today!!

my boys.

Have you ever loved a patterned paper and thought, “there’s pink on it–I can only use it for girls?”  Honestly, I used to think that to myself quite a bit!  I would fall in love with a paper and think that VERY same thing–I started quite a collection of my favorite “feminine” paper and then realized I was being ridiculous!  This same thought could definitely be used for more “masculine” papers….I started a new philosophy, if I like the paper I’m going to USE the paper!

I really LOVE the bright fun colors and prints in the Happy Place kit this month–SO much goodness!  I knew I wanted to use as much of it as I could!  I love that I could incorporate so many pattern papers on one page-a challenge?  Yep!  But I tried to stay true to my first two papers  that matte my pictures, the orange stripe and black and white squares.  I think it all came together to show the colorful personalities of my two handsome boys!

here is a closeup:
