Two more to share

This first layout was a bit hard for me.  My new Daughter-in-Law gave me this collage of pictures from her and my Sons Engagement.  Didn't want to cut it up so decided to scrap it as one big picture.

 

All the Grandkids on Christmas day!  I didn't get one picture of all of them together so had to settle for a few different pictures and put them together on one layout.  Every Christmas I say I am going to get a picture of the whole family together but then chaos ensues and I never get said "Family" shot.  Oh well, there is always next year! ha ha

 

No work, might as well scrap!!

One plus to owning your own business and working out of the house, when business gets slow I can always sneak into my scrap room!!!!  Might not be making any money but at least I was productive doing something!!!

 

I have been noticing lately the cute layouts all over the place using hexagons so I thought I would have a go at it.  Cut a bunch out with my cricut from an old CTMH paper pack and away I went.  All the paper and embellishments are CTMH including the title which I stamped.

 

Two Pager

I seem to struggle with completing two page layouts for some reason.  Seems like everytime I have alot of photos of one event I tend to split them up and do a few one page layouts.  That being said, I made myself put together this layout yesterday.

 

Only Two

I only have two layouts to share for the past couple of weeks.  Didn't get any scrapping done last two weekends when I usually scrap the most due to we went to Vegas for our annual trip for the Superbowl and last weekend was spent helping our daughter and two grandsons move back home.  Everything is back to semi-normal now and will share two layouts (with hopefully more to come this week!!)

 

This first one is of our daughter and three of our grandsons decorating the tree at Christmas.  I was proud that used I used CTMH stamps and my Cricut on one layout!  Love my stamps but like I am finding with alot of things, have to remind myself to use them more often.

 

This next one is of the same people making a paper chain to hang on the tree.  Notice the little chain I made to add dimension?  Used my Cricut to cut out the title, bracket and photo corner.

3 This Week

I finished three layouts this week, all from December 2011.  I think I have 2 or 3 more than I can move onto 2012.  Something about me just insists that I scrap in date order so I quit trying to fight it and just scrap whatever is in the next envelope (which are filed in date order next to my scrappy desk).  All that being said,

 

this first layout is of my Grandson Christopher and his Dad Chris at the Christmas Parade.  Love how I kept the number on the same color as their background, think it's a cool touch.  (P.S.  This is not an original idea but scraplifted from a magazine a while ago).

 

This one is also taken at the same parade only this time it's me and another Grandson Mathew.

 

And this last one is of three of my Grandsons Christopher, Matthew and Tylier picking out a Christmas Tree at the local lot.  Used alot of my odds and ends that were floating around here and there and also cut out the background mat and the Christmas Trees with my Cricut.  Love that machine, just have to remind myself to use it more!

Another Layout Completed

Yes a Christmas Layout (Okay, okay, I'm not that on top of it, this is a picture from Christmas 2011) but that means I am only one year behind in scrapping.  (I can live with that.)

This is two of our Grandsons visiting Santa.  Don't know if you can tell by the photo but I used alot of that velvet paper from SEI.  I was a little afraid it wouldn't cut very good in my Cricut but tah dah, no problems.

New Day, New Year, New Layouts!

Okay, so it's been way too long since I have shared any layouts.  I have gotten alot done since my last post but got lazy, along with camera problems, etc., I slacked off posting to my blog, so here we go with the last few layouts I have completed and will definately try to post more often with this New Year!!

This first one is of my husband Marcus enjoying the beach while waiting for my Brother Rick and his new wife Robin's wedding to start.  This one just kind of came together pretty easy.

My husband Marcus and our daughter Steffanie dancing away at the reception that followed.  I had a little trouble with the colors but overall, turned out pretty good.

This is our Grandson Noah on his 11th birthday.  I love the simplicity of this layout, but can't take credit, I scraplifted it from somewhere!!!  (I have no idea where, saw the layout and I cut it out of a magazine and had it on my scrap desk for over two years, whomever I scraplifted from, thank you very much, lol)

Our daughter Steffanie and her two sons Matthew and Christopher at our local park.  Loved the colors on this one and just kind of slapped pieces all over the place till I liked it!

Same folks as above only this time visiting with a snowman.  My mom bought me this paper pack from SEI when they had a sale going on (Thanks Mom!!!).
