It's beginning to look a lot like Disney

With the help of some sketch challenges going on right now I completed two more layouts for my 60th anniversary Disneyland album.  

For the first one I used the My Creative Sketches - June Sketch and Simple Stories Paper.  

Here is the sketch 

 
For the second page I used the 

Shop our Stash - sketch and make a card with leftovers challenge
Instead of hearts I used Mickey heads cut at various sizes with my Silhouette.
I also used Simple Stories paper and washi tape.  

I then made a card out of one of the extra Mickey heads.  The tickets are from paper that is matting the pictures on my layout and the bottom is a 4 x 6 card I hadn't used.

I added magic thread to the Mickey head to make it a balloon.

 

Mommy''s Boy Insta Love

This month at Sketch N Scrap they have been having daily challenges for their Third Birthday.  

This is Heather's Challenge for 

Sketch n Scrap Use 3 pictures May 18

These are two older pics with mommy in his carrier and then a recent one

 in the center of him sitting on her shoulders. 

The title Mommy's Boy is sfrom Silhouette America.  I love the Chevron paper and cut some scraps to add to the phrase People we Love.....

Here is the sketch Heather provided.  

Sunshine for mommy

The minute I saw this sketch at Sketch n Scrap #80 it just made me feel happy and sunny. 

So when I searched through my paper I found this really cute paper with these oh so cute sons on it.  

I also had some yellow doilies I bought recently at Michaels and a Project life card that said Sunshine on it.  The flowers were from mys tash.  

The arrows I cut out with my Silhouette.  

The pictures are my grandkids Kenzie and Micah giving mommy the presents they made at school for Mother's Day.  She was gone at hubby's graduation so they were so excited to give her the presents when she got home.  

Here is the awesome sketch. from Sketch n Scrap #80

For the second page I used the same paper, doilies and flowers.  I printed out 2 x 3 pictures of Spa day with my granddaughter.  I was the lucky one who got to go in place of mom.  We had food, a hand massage, got my toes painted and presents.  It was so fun and I was so lucky to be a part of this. 

Time for a new Let's Scrap challenge

It's time for another great sketch challenge at Let's Scrap.  

I used the awesome sketch  by Michelle and Simple Stories A Charmed Life paper.  

The pictures are of my grandson Micah and his sister Kenzie playing dressup.  

Please excuse the glare on a couple of the photos.  

This is the great sketch and also don't forget to check out the other challenges on Let's Scrap this month in honor of National Scrapbooking Day.  

Remember you have till the end of the month to 

complete your layout and link it up with Let's Scrap.  

I'm a Big Boy Now Layout

I chose a sketch from  Sketches in Thyme Week 3   for this layout.  I had these three cut pics of my grandson Micah potty training.  He is just barely 2 1/2 and he has done so well.  I always heard boys would be harder to potty train but he did a lot of it on his own.  

The paper I had in my stash.  

Here is the sketch I used 

I am also entering this at the 

Stuck on You Sketches Die Cut Challenge

Industrial Die Cut 

I added the gears I cut out from Silhouette America  for the circles on the sketch
but I think a toiletis about as industrial as you can get.  LOL

You Color My World layout with Splatters

I decided  to scrapbook these pictures of my granddaughter  Kenzie using her watercolors for the Frosted Design Splatter Challenge.  

I was going to use watercolors for the splatters but couldn't find them so then decided to use Alcohol Inks.  I haven't had them out for awhile and boy did I make a mess on my hands and my work space. 

I had splatters everywhere.   

I  found some paper in a stack  by Colorbox  recently that was great bold colors and some of the pages even reminded me of kids scribbles.  (See the orange pink paper and green lt green piece. 

I am using the sketch below from My Scraps N More Sketches.  

The stitching was done with watercolor markers and a ruler by hand.  

The title is a print and cut from Silhouette America.  

This lovely sketch is by Nicole Nowosad at My Scraps N More Sketches  

                      I wasn't very happy at first with the mess I made but happy with the result.  

Layouts and challenges OH MY!

What better way to get some pages done and spark your creativity than to find some great great challenges. 

The first challenge  I used for these layouts was 

 Picture This 2 Photos + dark background + butterfly 

Well for two pictures I found this sketch from Sketch N Scrap  Sketch 76,  

I found these two adorable pictures of my granddaughter Brittany who is 3.  

I choose a brought flower paper which had some black in it to match to pop against the black background.  The pink and blue punched pieces were done using Martha Stewart Punches.  I used the cutoff edge of tiny flowers down on the bottom of the page.  Added a bright pink doily, some inked chipboard butterflies and fussy cut flowers from the paper.  These are pop dotted in two layers to give dimension  The title smile is in black from Silhouette America and I then offset it in white.  The last little added touch is a pink butterfly paper clip.  

This sketch is by Lisa Hidy for Sketch N Scrap  Sketch 76

For the second page since I like double pages most of the time I found a three picture sketch at

 Let's Capture Our Memories- Sketch 113

I liked the polka dot border of the sketch so I found some white with black polka dot paper and then mounted a piece of Black Bazzil to it.  Next I used the backside of the flower paper I used in the first layout.  Cutting on the border lines to make the top edge and the flowers where the arrows are.  I then found some cute journaling cards and word stickers for the thoughts card and the title.  The flowers are again fussy cut from the paper and some are pop dotted for dimension 

Here is the lovely sketch from Page Maps at Let's Capture Our Memories- Sketch 113

So now I have an adorable two page matching layout using two different sketches 

and some fun paper.  

Thanks for looking and would love to hear your comments.
