Just a couple of layouts...

I have gotten so bad about posting!!  I'm sitting here waiting to get tired enough to fall back to sleep, so...thought I would post a couple layouts I did a while back.

I don't think there is anything more that needs to be said about this layout...lol

My two beautiful grandchildren!!

Been A Long Time....

Wow, it's been forever since I posted on my blog!!  Since I completed a few layouts, I figured now would be a good time to get back into taking care of blog business!!..

In no particular order, here are a few layouts completed this past week.

HoneyBee Showcase-Pinwheel

What a fun week this is at Betty Bee's Buzz!! Our theme this week are pinwheels and the HoneyBees came up with awesome takes on the challenge.

As for me, I decided to do two layouts using a 12x12 piece of cardstock to make a pinwheel.

Of course, you know I had to do one of Ian and then one of Nina!!

Be sure to stop by Betty Bee's Buzz and check out what we have to share with you today.  Don't forget...we love seeing your projects too!!

More layouts

I love having photos to do my special layouts!..These photos were taken on my recent trip to see the kids.  Ian's layouts are pretty simple, but I love getting to play with flowers and 'girly' embellishments for Nina's layouts.

What I've been working on

Here are three layouts I did for challenges at Have Your Way With Paper.  Stop by, join in and you too can take part in our fun and creative challenge!!

Isn't my little grandson a cutie!!! Oh I love him so...sorry, back to my scrappage..lol
This challenge was given by Erin, one of my fellow design team members.  She wanted texture and I rememberd I had a Fiskars texturing tool.

Another of Erin's challenge was to do a layout without any printed papers!!..

Krissy, one of our owners, had several challenges using ideas from the TV show Glee.  Taking my inspiration from the photo of the Lady Gaga outfits this is what I did.  Kim is married to Joe G. Stop by Have Your Way With Paper and see if you can spot the costume I worked with.

Layouts I've been working on

I am so far behind in getting my layouts done, but here are a few I did manage to complete

Nina's Ladybug is based on Trisha's sketch 105

Looks like I need to get some Nina pages done!!

Jeff-Nina-Ian

Here is a layout I did from a sketch by Trisha.  Her sketches are always so much fun to do and really help in getting a page done!!

The cardstock I used is from My Minds Eye Christmas stack from last year that I totally love!  I also love my deep edge punch from Martha Stewart, Garden Trellis.

Be sure to check out Trisha's Sketch Site!!

November sponsor at Have Your Way With Paper

We received some awesome cardstock, buttons and tag spots from Jillibean Soup, our sponsor this month at Have Your Way With Paper.  Here are a few things I made and I have got to tell you, the weight of this cardstock is awesome! 

This is a card I made using the cardstock and tag spot.  The border was done with my new Martha Stewart border punch and the leaves are a die Provo Craft that cuts and embosses.

Here is a layout of Nina using several papers and tag spots.  The flowers were cut with my Cricut and then set on silk flowers. The title stickers are also from Jillibean Soup

Using more cardstock and tag spots received, I did an Ian layout. The stars were cut using our sponsor paper and my star die from Provo Craft.  Those awesome buttons were part of the sponsor kit!

Layout Challenge For Have Your Way With Paper

Over at Have Your Way With Paper, one of our challenges was to do a layout using the same photo twice. This was a perfect challenge for me to do a hybrid layout. I love having my wide format printer because it allows me to print right on a 12x12 paper. I'd like to share with you what I did

Memorable Season-September Sponsor Challenge

Here are a couple layouts I did with products received from Memorable Seasons, our September sponsor at Have Your Way With Paper. I had the pleasure of working with My Minds Eye, Abbey Road. Thank you so much Jill for your generosity!!

Two Recent Layout

These photos were taking this past Sunday at Nina's birthday party. I couldn't wait to do a layout of my sweet Nina and my precious Ian!!

Ian being Ian

This layout started out one way, but ended up another. I'm pleased with it even though this isn't what I had invisioned. How could anything not work with that cute little face!!

Cutie Pie

Another challenge for Have Your Way With Paper. This was for a 'recipe' challenge that was to include 3 flowers, 3 buttons stips of paper and something metal. I just had to use Ian's sweet face for this one!!

{yuk}

Using layers of Cricut flower cuts and ribbon for stems, I created perfect flowers for a boy's page. And..you gotta love that face..:)

Sweet Little Boy

In the process of taking Ian's top off, I noticed how cute he looked right before the shirt came off his head. Luckily, my camera was sitting right there for me to get a photo of that sweet face.

Smile

I just had to do a layout of Ian and me! I see something in the 'smiles' :)
