Few 6x12 Layouts

This is our new baby Bama.
HE is just the sweetest thing.

Here I used some scalloped PP
along with some altered Heidi Swapp
Raw chipboard letters and a homemade
Transparency (circle)
I don't know if you can tell, but the letters were altered with some Liquid Applique' that you heat and it puffs up... cool stuff. Then I dotted each liquid applique drop with a sharpie.


Here are a few shots taken at the Florida Aquarium. I took the boys last week on our vacation week and thought these photos were pretty cool. They are all Sea Dragons from or around Australia

Few more for this week's challenges

This one is from Easter...
Challenge was to create a layout using colors
that are complementary on a color wheel.
(red and green)
















Here's a 6x12 layout of Jacob
trying to look tuff! LOL!

The challenge was to incorporate
"graffiti"... I created the graffiti
paper using photoshop and some free
brushes I downloaded from
http://www.brusheezy.com/

Very cool place to get some neat brushes!








Here's another 6x12... VERY quick layout
Challenge was to use the word
unbelievable on the layout... easy peasy!

Photo from Florida Aquarium... yep, those are my
boys drooling on the glass. THEY both love
to watch the fishies and SHARKS!

Today's layouts

This week we have a some 'silly' challenges for our Summer Scrap Off

On Scrappin Fun...

Here are my first 2.

Retreat layouts

This past weekend I was able to attend a Scrapping retreat with 9 other ladies.
I was able to get a few layouts done despite my cold that hit me like a ton of
rocks last Thursday. The retreat was extremely fun and totally needed! I can't wait until
the next retreat!
Oh, and Last Friday was my birthday so it was great to get away for that special day!
PLUS I was able to get my birthday gift at Hobby Lobby. I wasn't expecting to find such
awesome deals... I bought 2 American Crafts D-Ring albums for $10 each! That is an AWESOME deal. Usually I have to purchase them online for $20 each and pay shipping
on top of that! I was so stoked! (they were on sale for 50% off) PLus they had all their
stickers for 50% too! I stocked up on some alpha stickers... LOVE those things!
Anyway, here are a few things I made over the weekend.

More Swap layouts

Sorry Dianne... I changed the title on this one

Layout by Robin
Photos of Terrilyn and I at her parents
mountain house in GA back in 1994 or so.
They have a thing called Clover Fest every
June... cause when her parents bought this
vacation home in the mountains, her mother found
a four leaf clover in the backyard. It is a beautiful home!
We partied so hard that week... and LAUGHed so much... man, those were the days.

when there was only the Magic Kingdom.
This is me and my Mom.

If I remember correctly, this Layout was created by Jenn K.
Not your typical Halloween layout, but the colors matched with the photos so I went for it.
Why not, it's better than them still sitting in an old box.
Photos of my brother and I at Halloween.
(along with my doggie Lucy)
This was during a time when you didn't get to choose what you would be at Halloween... you just wore what you got... and were happy about it.
Looks like we were a couple of Easter bunnies...LOL!




Layout by Tamera.
Photos taken during the Aspen Colorado Hotair
Balloon festival.
















Layout by Patsy from an older swap.
I had the hardest time trying to figure out what
photos to go on this... and I had these 2 sitting on my desk and thought about the amazing changes that have occured in only 2 short years.












Layout by Tamera
I wasn't sure how the photos were suppose to be placed... but this worked out oK.
These photos were from a Mixer in College with the Pi Kapps. FUN TIMES!













Layout by Michelle.
I couldn't remeber how this one was suppose to go... but Lukas climbing up on the bed went perfect with this cool title Michelle made.
Lukas climbs on everything... even climbs out of his crib now!
