Scrapbooking, Me and My Shadow

The page makes me so happy! I made it for my entry to be on the SWAT design team. I feel like there are a lot of design team calls going on right now!

I really love these photos of my daughter. The sun had been hiding all winter and spring and finally on July 4th it came out! My daughter had no idea what a shadow was. I wanted the page to have a nod to the 4th of July since that is when it took place, but I didn't want it to be all red, white, and blue. I found some old paper in my stash (I think it came from and old DCWV summer stack) that looked really similar to the table cloth in the photos. I knew I just had to use it!

Once again I played around with shaker boxes. This time I cut a star out and made the box behind it. The box is a little deeper then I expected, so it is kind of hard to see what is inside of it. One of these days I will be completely happy with how they turn out. I also made a cute little pinwheel. I also used a really old red feather that I have had in a box of random stuff from high school. It even could be from middle school...eek! I have no idea why I have held on to it for 10-15 years. Anyways, it worked so well with this page and I'm glad to finally put it to some kind of use.

Scrapbooking, Adore

Every once in a while, I make a layout that I absolutely love and this is one of them. I think it might be the rainbowness of it all that I love. This is really a random photo of my daughter that I took while we were waiting for the bus. I played with the photo on my phone and made it more rainbowy. I really like how it came out, so I printed it out for my project life, but then I decided it needed its own page. It really is a random page for a random photo. This is my page for the Memory Nest . The circles on the sketch were my major inspiration. I felt that they would make a fun background. At first, I changed the circles to triangles and then I noticed all these old frames on my desk. I'm a chipboard frame hoarder. lol. I thought most of the frames were really ugly or they had patterns that I would never use. At first, I was going to just paint the fram...

Scrapbooking, First Solo

I can't believe how much time has gone by since I last scrapbooked. Well, I finally have been inspired to scrap again and I found a fun challenge with a very happy mood board that got my creative juices going again. Recently, my daughter got to dance her first solo on a stage. I had only seen her dance this when she was first learning this. She had a broken wrist at the time, so I never had seen some of the moves until she danced it on stage. It had been over a year since she was on a stage and she has never been on one all by herself. I wasn't sure how she was going to do. I could tell she was getting nervous, but she did a beautiful job. I was a very proud mommy. =) I really wanted to add one more picture, so I added this photo on a pull out tab. I always enjoy the pages that have a little interactive part to them. While the paper I used for this layout was all new, all the embellishments are things that I have had for a lon...

Car Roll Tutorial

November is such a crazy time. There are so many projects that have to be made for birthdays and Christmas. Making things is so much more fun then buying something random. Anyways, I made this cute car roll for Moose's best buddy's 2nd birthday. I'm loving how it came out and her friend has been having a blast putting his hot wheels in the little pockets. So here is how I made it so you can make one too! I don't have photos for every step because Moose was "helping" me the entire time and I couldn't juggle her and a camera very well. Supplies: 1/4 of a yard of green fabric 1/4 of a yard of some fun print fabric Batting (about 16 inches by 9 1/2 inches) 5 Pieces of scraps of fabric at are 4 inches by 4 1/2 inches Felt for roads, dirt, and water (I used the felt rectangle pieces you see everywhere in craft stores) Bias Tape Button Elastic or a hair tie Step 1: Cut ...
