3 New Layouts

Just wanted to upload some things I have been working on. The "Compromise" Layout is Carolyn's Halloween Layout. She just fought me teeth and nail to put on her adorable Snow White Costume. It just was not happening. So, we compromised on regular pants and a shirt. :( Oh Well!!!

"Superboy" is Jacob's Halloween layout. He was so proud of his Superman costume!!!! We had a fun time for Halloween. We went to Jacob's school. They had fun jumps, food, and games in the gym.

The other 2 layouts are just some everyday photos that I love to scrap!!!


Stay tuned for my Calendar Kits that will be coming out November 15th!!!!! Lots of goodies in these kits!!!!!!!

Switching Photos!!!

One of our assignments for the Treasured Memories Design Team, was to switch photos with another fellow DT member!! This was so much fun. Really!!!!! I picked Mandi. I did a one pager, cause its my favorite!!! I gave her one of my custom Owl Buttons, did some hand stitching in the title, machine sewing, inking and used one photo 3 times!!! Used some October Afternoon rub-ons on the photos. Also added some Making Memories crystal brads, a fun epoxy clip, and a Heidi Swap crystal!!! I used lots of Sassafras Lass here!!! I hope she likes it!!!!! CLICK ON PHOTO TO MAKE IT LARGER!!!!

Design Team # 7 Assignment

"Future Photographer"

Ok, so we got to pick our kit this month. But when I got home, I was not feeling it!!! So I waited 2 weeks before I decided to start on it. I decided to put Jacob in this one since the papers are a little on the masculine side. We had to use 4 out of the 12 challenges Melissa gave us.

I used these:

1. Use Rub-ons on chipboard
2. Use Sewing to create a shape or other design
3. Use Paint
4. Distress

Products:
Craft n Craftin' Papers
Maya Road Chipboard Birds
Prima Felt
Owls - Courtesy of My fellow DT Member Jeanne Pellerin
Jenny Bowlin Crate Papers
Red Thread
Black Thickers
Ranger Paint
Metal Buttons Unknown
Cardstock Bazzil

I found some metal buttons and covered them with the Craftin' papers. Then I did some distressing by pulling back some of the cardstock and then painting the edges to show the other paper. For the birds eyes, I sewed French knots. I also used a Martha Stewart punch and created a scalloped edge on one of the papers. I added some X's on the Jenny Bowlin papers. I also sewed through and on the American Crafts Thickers for the title!!!

Here is a sneak peek!!!

Here is a sneek of my Treasured Memories Design Team Lo!!! Very different for me. Stay tuned for more!!!!

Beautiful Weekend!!!!!

It was so gorgeous this weekend!!! I could have stayed outside all weekend!! I got some scrappin done. Did my October Calendar Lo, One LO from the Scralet Lime Kit and one LO from A Million Memories October KIT. Used a few things in each layout from my stash too!!! The "Tree Boy" layout is about the big tree that fell from the hurricanes at the park. The "You Inspire Me" Layout is about my sweet husband who I just adore. He is a wonderful husband and father and deserved a LO about that!!!!! Thanks for letting me share!!

Stay tuned for a SNEAK PEEK of my next Layout for the Treasured Memories Design Team Challenge!!!!!
