Croppy inspiration!

Well, here are the other two layouts I completed at the VERY funny New's Year's crop at Personalscrapper last week! For layout one the challenge was to use a large photo, so I picked this one of my brother, SIL and nephew in front of their Christmas tree. The papers are from Bo Bunny Blitzen found in my December Personalscrapper kit. I added the American Craft flairs (love those things) as well as the Stampin Up felt snowflakes and Paper Trunk Benny alphas ( another MUST HAVE) from my stash! This layout is a direct "lift" from another layout I did in the past you can find it HERE.....don't you love it when you can lift yourself? After all, who needs to reinvent the wheel.

The second layout is my first time to use my papers I got last spring at Archivers from the Simple Stories summer line. I must say this line is super fun to work with, too bad I only got just a few papers, may have to find more somewhere! This layout is based on a sketch by Allison Davis from Sketch Support, this is one of her best sketch in my opinion! These pictures of my brother and nephew were a bit blurry, but in the wallet size format it is not as noticeable, so hard to photograph a fast moving two year old without a bit of blurriness! lol! I hand stitched the flower stems, the flowers are punch outs from my stash by Stampin Up and the letter stickers are Thickers!

Thanks for stopping by to check out the rest of my scrappy creations, up on this week's agenda is getting caught up on the 52 week challenges over at Personalscrapper! Can you believe how fast January is going? So what's on your scrappy agenda this week?

A Blast from the Past!

This layout was created for the GRANDPARENTS challenge over at Personalscrapper for the online crop that is ending today. These photos really are a blast from the past. They are from 2000 and are of my son in my Mom's garden (I guess really flower bed, but GRANNY'S GARDEN sounded better!) I just loved these pictures and have been hoarding them waiting for just the right page and this challenge got me inspired to finally scrap them. I used October Afternoon papers from the Personalscrapper August 2008 kit. This crop I decided to try and focus on one kit so that I can use it up. It isn't at all that I didn't like this kit, in fact, I have been hoarding it I liked it so much! Letters are from American Crafts and Jenni Bowlin. Sticker from Making Memories. I even covered the chipboard flowers that came in this kit! This layout is based on Sketch #25 from Inspired Blueprints. If you haven't checked them out, do so NOW...great sketches and inspiration here. Check back in a few days, I am working on a double pager using another Inspired Blueprints sketch! See ya back here soon folks!
