Reese's

This was a fun layout to do! Not my fave but fun. It is for a challenge that is called Imperfect Lives & this one was for Weakness. This is definitely a huge weakness of mine! I love to have a bag every time I sit down to a long scrapping session & I 'HAVE TO' have some once a month!

I took pictures (the circle ones) of a bag as it was getting emptied. :) I also used actual wrappers to cover the circle chipboard & I cut the title from the bag.

The journaling says What do you mean they're gone?!?!?! I'm not done scrappin yet!

This will go into my Book of Me (BOM) for my daughter.

Techniques challenge

I saw a card or layout like this somewhere & can not remember where so I can't give full credit for the inspiration of this design! But I did this for a techniques challenge, use as many techniques as you can without overdoing it. So... I used dry emboss, inking, chalking, layering, paint, sewing, ribbon , pearls, stickers, rub-ons, mulberry paper, paper tearing. whew. And I like how it turned out.

Finished some more...

Wow! I am on a roll, I have never done so many layouts in such a short amount of time! I am really loving these challenges.

This Carousel one is for a bling challenge. Think there is enough? The large 8x10 photo was printed on a transperancy. You can't really tell on here as much as you can in real life. I used the Cricut Accent Essentials to make the little thingys on the side & I wove gold rope ribbon through it & added rhinestones. All the pictures are bordered with rhinestones. I also used them on the horses that had real rhinestones like on the reins. I cut the title out of Cricut Alphalicious & added stones to it.

This one is for a multi pic one page challenge. I actaully started this page & my 6 yr. old saw me getting it out & just begged me to let her help with it so she actually finished the page for me. She cut out all those flowers on her own! So I have to say this is a mother daughter effort.

This was for a scraplift the person before you challenge ( http://www.scrapbook.com/galleries/150455/view/1473839/-1/0/1.html ) This is an old picture that my aunt emailed me so it was printed off my computer & it's not a great picture anyway but it turned out great with these papers! I just love this pic. It is my dad holding my baby brother & my grandaddy holding me.

This is for a sketch challenge. It was a hard sketch, took me a while to figure something out. These are 'my boys' They are inseperable very hard to get individual pictures. They were actually sitting side by side when I took these & I just cut each other seperate.:)

Sunshine on my shoulders

This was a lift from a lady at scrapbook.com -

I did this layout for a 'Sunshine' challenge, it had to have sunshine in the title or a sun layout or just outdoor sun fun. So this song came to mind-- Sunshine on my shoulders make me happy, sunshine in my eyes can make me cry..........
Anyway, I thought these pictures were the perfect match!
I used glitter paint in the flowers & on the white. I used a swirl stencil for the first time, I think it came out okay. The pen I used for the stencil was a white Signo Impact gel pen. I also used my Bo Bunny flex ruler, one of those tools I just had to have now & then rarely used it, glad it came in handy. :)

Silly faces

This was a fun one! I love the bright colors. I actually got these felt things from the summer aisle at Hobby Lobby. They were on a string, I guess you hang them for some kind of decor. But of course I see everything as something to put on a page!

The journaling says:

I have always taken lots of pictures of you &

had you posing for something.

Now you always come to me,

'mom take a picture of me or of this'

So you wanted pictures of different faces

& I think these turned out so cute!
