Scrapbooking, Make A Wish 2017

Happy Monday! It has been a busy time at my house. Lots of birthdays in the summer for us! My daughter just had her party this weekend. Few, I'm glad it is done. It was chaos! A lot of smoke has been coming down from fires in Canada and we haven't been able to spend much time outside because of the poor air quality. It's also been in the 90s almost every day and most of Seattle has no air conditioning. Being stuck in a hot house that can't have the windows open is no fun.

Anyways, here is my memory nest layout. My husband had to fly to Toronto for work on my son's birthday, so we went to the zoo the day before and did things we don't normally get to to like feed animals and ride the carousel there. I still wanted to do something on his birthday, so we gathered the neighborhood kids and had a mini celebration on our driveway. It was cute, fun, and easy. These are the photos I took. I had a bunch, and this layout made it easy to get a lot on. Also, I got that frame maker from we r memory keepers....I made the rainbow frame with it. Since I use so many frames on my layouts, I thought it would be worth getting it. It works well and I'm glad I bought that tool.

Scrapbooking, Melt My Heart

I've got one more rainbow inspired layout to share. This time I played along with Scrap Our Stash . I used the following five items up from the list. 1. Stripe Paper (I may have a rainbow stripe addiction when it comes to paper) 2. Paper Clip (the orange arrow at the top) 3. Wood Veneer (the cute arrow) 4. Flair (I've got two. The circle heart from Amy Tangerine and the square sunshine from a Freckled Fawn Kit) 5. Enamel Dots (I've got a few green in one corner and a few orange in another) I used a bunch of pop dots on this layout to keep some of the corners up and to give the clouds some layering. I kind of forgotten just how handy those little things can be in giving depth to a page. I also decided to keep my journaling hidden since this page has so much going on pattern wise with no good breaks.

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 ...

Scrapbooking, Joy of Being Three

Wow summer is going by so fast. My little guy just turned 3. Sniffles! I do hope it brings a little less tantruming, better sleeping, and less picky eating. I can at least hope, right? Anyways, this is my page for the Memory Nest . I decided to make a page celebrating what three things my son loves since he is now a big three year old. I wonder what will change and what might not. I have a feeling he is going to keep on liking purple for a long time, but his love for firetrucks will probably change by next year. It's hard to say though!
