SYAO 51 & a few more ..

This was a layout created using a sketch from last weeks challenge on FTS group. I love the sketch and will for sure use it again and again! 

This is also a layout done using a sketch from Colorful Creations. I don't do many 1 or 2 pic pages but this is a nice sketch for those :)!!

Here is the journalling for the next sketch below. I made a booboo with the U R and covered it but then wanted to also accent the other YOU in the title .. so alone those two pieces say You are You .. which goes with the journalling and the title One of a Kind! 

My week 51 layout for Paper Secrets SYAO challenge. I used machine stitching, distressing, 5+ buttons, tags, staples, 8 pattern papers, vellum,  and arrows. I really like how it came out and it used up a LOT of scraps :)! 

Now following .. About a Boy Scrapbook Challenge Blog ...

Since 95% of my latest layouts are about my little guy Tyler, when I saw this new blog I had to become a follower! 

So check it out ... About the Boys 

And since I love challenges and new ideas I will certainly be all over this new site! Please check it out if you have a boy or man in your life! I'm sure it will offer some great inspiration!!

Week 16 @ FTS

And the last page I will probably work on today as we need to do some family things before the dd goes back to school tomorrow :( !! This was for wk 16 challenge @ FTS. It also qualifies for our quad war week 2 challenge on the group. I used animal - owl & bird, stickers, chipboard - tree & house, stitching and 3 punches. 

SYTYCS & SYAO

I've been working on quite a few layouts the last two weeks and here are some more I whipped out recently but haven't shared yet :). First couple are just layouts for albums, at the end are sketch challenges! TFL!

A page made entirely by Deb M. on my yahoo group pagekitsplus. All I had to do was add pics and a title. Thanks Deb I love it! 

.. pages for mom's album .. followed a sketch for syao.

... pages for ds's album .. followed a sketch for syao. 

just a layout that needed to be done in the midst of my christmas mood!

...jumped back a few years to do some prom pics of my dd in 2008 . Where did that time go?!?!

...and another!

...and the last :)! 

This layout was done using a sketch for a challenge on Colorful Creations. Week 2 of So You Think You Can Scrap. Yes this is the 3rd challenge like this I have entered in which each week we get a new sketch and a new list of embellies to use for the layout itself. I really liked this sketch and have it on my desk to use again :). I used layering, ribbon, chipboard, flowers banner journaling strips.

Welcome to week  of SYAO on Paper Secrets! For this challenge I used 7+papers, 3 handmade banners, alpha stickers, 5+buttons, ric, rac, staples, 3 different border punches and distressing! WHEW! 

50 Layouts ...

...and now it's break time :) 

More of the same pics from previously today for my DS albums. 

Christmas 2010 for my DD albums :). 

This page was made with a sketch in mind for FTS Jan Sketch Challenge :) I flipped it and made it a double pic layout instead of a single pic.  Not really feeling this page but it's done !! 

and more pages for my DD's album from christmas 2010 .. this was done using a sketch from Allison Davis which I found thanks to Keitha and I love her sketches now and plan on using many more ... I also entered in  an ACOT challenge as well! 

It's Christmas!

at least at the scrapping table it is :) here is a layout made easy by Deb. M on my pagekitsplus yahoo group :) thanks Deb! 

This will be for anything goes challenge on CC and is made using a page swap kit from IASST 

... another kit from page kit swap on IASST .. 

and another :) I love the kits and the premade title swaps! 

and my last for now .. have to make dinner and cut veggies and hit the YMCA with the little one and then maybe I'll get a few more done! 

FTS wk 15 & SYTYCS wk 1

Here was a super simple layout .. Thank YOU Concetta for helping me create another fun page :) !

This layout was for FTS weekly challenge #15 - I used distressing, stamping, stickers, bling and brackets! I love the sketch but couldn't find 3 horizontal pics so I switched it up :) ! 

A layout for mom's album ... 

And another for Tyler's which also was for the first So You Think You Can Scrap layout on Colorful Creations. This is now 3 weekly challenges I have joined in on and am loving the fun sketches each week! 

I used Matting, 2+ papers, date strip and ric rac for this layout!
