Altered scraplift

On the very last page of this month's Scrapbooks Etc was a picture of a pencil holder. It was so cute I just had to have my own. This is my version, it's fairly similar. I can't wait to go put it on my desk at school!

Halloween Banner

I know it's early, but I was inspired. Last year, pretty much around Halloween Crystal and I cut out letters with the intent of making a halloween banner. The letters sat and sat in a ziploc baggie until I was inspired last week. I used mostly Basic Grey's line Eerie.

A couple baby book pages

I've been slacking on the blog posting lately. I have been scrapbooking, so really there is no excuse. Here's a couple more pages for my baby book.

I started this layout on Tuesday and finished it on Wednesday. I used a mix of supplies: some Studio Calico paper from their new line Documentary, Sassafras and old Cosmo (the green paper is from their Storybook line 4 years ago! Thanks June!) I love the mix of colours and patterns here and how my photos are arranged.

This one is actually a couple weeks old. It's funny because the only other page in my baby book with butterflies on it - I'm wearing the exact same dress. It's not really a butterfly dress, but then again, maybe it is.

My AGT Pick: Michael Grimm

Okay, so Ryan and I have been watching America's Got Talent again this year. One, what else do you watch in the summer, two, it's actually kinda good. Anyway, this guy is my pick for the winner. He's so talented, and he just seems like a really good guy!

First Bike

I completed this layout on Friday at our monthly scrap night. The first page is inspired by a Bo Bunny ad in Scrapbooks etc. I used Basic Grey's line Sugared for this - how old is that? 3 years? Glad to use it up!
The ribbon is from Webster's pages; I really wanted it, but had no idea how to use it. With a little (or lot) of persuading from Crystal I added the flowers to the top of it. It added a lot of dimension and broke up all the brown. I love how this page turned out!

2 years old

This photo is from the summer of '08 - scrapbook translation: 5 albums ago. I'm basically caught up right now, so I've been going through my pile of stuff that just didn't inspire me, or that I was sick of doing so much of, etc. I've got many pages done, but this is my favorite this far. The layout is made from one sheet of K&Co paper, scraps, a journal spot, mist, thickers, and a puffy sticker. Not too bad really. Was fairly quick to come together, and the best part is - there are no longer any gaps in that album!

Best CHA release

Have you seen this line? It's AMAZING! Sassafras has come out with a new line called Mix and Mend - a beautiful combination of blues, golds, and tans. I can't wait to see this stuff in person because it looks so layered and gorgeous. I can't wait until this is released!
