Love Our Boys.

Got a chance to scrap over the long weekend. I absolutely love how this came out.
I used Basic Grey's Wander Collection that I got on CropChocolate (LOVE this site!!).

How I made it:
Firstly....it is scraplifted (view original layout here).

To make the black lines, I used crafting thread. Then I cut out a 1 1/4 inch square out of some clear packaging to use as a template for selecting photos. If the face fit in the square...I used it.

I then placed them on my completed grid...along with square I cut out from the cover sheet of the collection pack (no need to waste a 12 x 12 piece of paper for a little square).

The cardstock sticker sheet had tons of small images to use.

Next, I light wrote in where I wanted the words to go.

Had originally intended on using some black Thickers for the words, but I really like the font of the letters that came with the collection (plus they ended up matching the solid paper I used for matting).

From love our boys

I cut out mats using the solid side of the GPS paper. Then I inked all those edges as well as the patterned papers from the collection cover sheet.

I think this will be a layout for one of those 12 x 12 scrapbook frames.
Thanks for looking!!!

Scraplifting, Scrapping and Scrap Happy!

Since getting my Scrap Cave cleaned and reorganized, I have been able to get four layouts done. Wow, amazing what a clean space can do for your mojo! The first three layouts are for a Scraplift Me Challenge I am hosting on facebook.

This layout was scraplifted from one I saw on Technique Tuesday. I used Fancy Pants Designs It's Your Day Collection. Love these pictures of Josh ever so daintily eating his birthday cake. I was really expecting a mess. Nope.

The next two, I scraplifted from layouts I found on scrapbook.com (which I can not find again to give proper credit).

I used Echo Park Little Boy Collection for this layout. And a stamp by Unity.

I used a variety of papers by Making Memories.

This last one was inspired by a layout created by Ingvild Bolme (because I could never hope to actually have the talent to scraplift her amazing work). You can view her layout here. She does truly stunning work.
My humble version.
I can never make that cluttered embellishment look work for me...I tend to lean towards the simpler look. I did stitch around the dotted page. Most edges have been distressed and inked. I absolutely love this photo of Josh. I used Basic Grey Basics for this layout.
