Scrap and Stamp Saturday

The challenge at Scrap and Stamp is up! The challenge is to create a scrapbook layout, using stamping, that is about family (really the possibilities are endless there). The sponsor is Digital Delights by Louby Loo. Here is the layout I made for the challenge:


I used a whole bunch of Creative Imaginations on this layout. I also used the Creative Imaginations sketch for their challenge on their blog. :) That stamp I used at the top is from Unity Stamp Company.

Those pictures make me smile. Eryn had a gorgeous dress that she had worn at Christmas time. She kept picking it up and looking at it. They boys even kept commenting on it. :) She has changed our lives considerably. We were all boys (but me) with dirt and dinosaurs, trucks and wildness...and then came Eryn, who added a bit of glamour and pretty to our family. :) We'll just see how long that lasts.

Have an awesome Saturday everyone!

30

Ok, before anyone emails me and is like "uh...you know you are 31, right?" let me come out and say I didn't like 31 as a title. :) And I am only 3 months into my 31st year, so I just didn't use photos from then, I made sure I was 30 when they were taken, and I journaled as if I was still 30 (really....not much has changed in 3 months anyways). So yes, I am 31, but I made an album about being 30. :) I made if for Tattered Angels, and you may have already seen it on their bloghere. The album is the "Tattered Traveler Album" from Tattered Angels, and I just LOVED it. I also used Glimmer Mists, Glimmer Screens, Glimmer Glass, Glimmer Chips, Framed Fonts, Bingo Cards and Calling Cards. Yep, that is a whole lot of yumminess from Tattered Angels. :) The papers I used are from Websters Pages and all the flowers are from Prima of course. So here it is...

With flap open:




I have more of the album...I am not quite finished. I will post more later. :)

Anyways.....

I hope you have a FANTASTIC Thursday!

Weekend Challenges

So I need to play a little catch up...I missed a couple things I was supposed to post this weekend.

First, the challenge at Scrap and Stamp is up. The challenge is to make a scrapbook layout that has both stamping and hand-cutting. :) Here is the layout I made:



And then the challenge at SSCC is up too. The challenge is to make a card for a new baby or a new Christian. :) Here's what I made:



Our sponsor this week at SSCC is Sew Many Cards, and we received some digital stamps to play with, which I used on my card...isn't it so cute! :)

Thank you to everyone who participated in the blog hop this weekend! I hope you all had as much fun as I did! :) I will be back tomorrow with a new sketch. Then in the afternoon I will announce the winners from the hop!
