Do You Remember Me?

It's been forever since I posted any layouts here (mostly because the last ones I was doing were for gifts and I didn't want to spoil the surprise!). Anyway, I have just completed a momentous layout (and a couple other really cute ones) and I decided that I want to share!

First I made this sweet page from the ScrapMatters Collaboration Kit Unforgettable. I thought it turned out really precious and just how I intended.

I've finally been working on some of the photoless pages that I want to do. They're just stories (mostly regarding my kids) that I want to document but don't really have any photos for. This is one of them, talking about one of my youngest's nicknames.

This next one is the momentous layout...the very LAST one for my Indianapolis book!!! Now, I just have to assemble and print it. I'm so excited to be done another book. I really need to be dedicated to a project so I can finally see some progress...now to pick the next one!

I hope you've enjoyed my brief resurgence!

Until next time...

Just a Teaser...

If you think I haven't been busy with those gorgeous kits I've posted...I sure have been! I love these colours and there are some gorgeous patterns in there. I used Brown Eyed Girl for this layout of my grandpa and his brother...just a sneak peek at the extra credit project I'm working on. Oh, and see how versatile it is? No girls on this page, even ;).

Until next time...

The Last Part!

Yesterday, I promised you the last instalment of these fabulous kits so here it is! This part of the collab is Unforgettable. It is so elegant and who doesn't love that peacock feather? You can find it at ScrapMatters and it's even on sale right now!

Until next time...

Here Comes Part 2!

OK, I promised you another kit today so here I go! This kit matches the palette of yesterday's Vintage Surf Shop but has a completely different theme. These kits will make it so fun to mix and match or use as is! The one is called Brown Eyed Girl and is also available at ScrapMatters. Check out this adorable preview!

Perfect for those sweet little girl or, really, any photos!

Be sure to come back tomorrow for the final installation of this series!!

Until next time...

I've Been MIA but this is worth it!

I have been MIA lately. Summer really does that to a person. I am working on a fabulous project as a birthday present for my grandmother but I'm not sure if I'll post those until it's all done and given. It has been keeping me busy, though. I've also (almost) completed my Indianapolis book (I have ONE more page) and I will post a few more of those pages or maybe a preview of the book when I have it uploaded, if I can!

Anyway, I'm here to tell you about some fabulous new goodness over at ScrapMatters. The designers have gotten together this month to do not one, not two but three collabs with the same colour scheme. This is just a teaser and I'm only going to post the first one...you'll have to come back tomorrow to see the next one (or just head over to the ScrapMatters store to check them all out!!)

This first one is perfect for one of the pages for the gift I'm working on so I'll show it off first. It's called Vintage Surf Shop and is totally adorable!

I've Barely Had Time...

to scrap much of anything! However, I did get a couple layouts done on the weekend and I have another almost done. I've also got one to post that I did last month with the kit in the below post! Summer has really been crazy around here. I always think it will be slow but it NEVER is!! We've been running around pretty much the whole time and the brief breaks in between are filled with preparation for the next thing! I think fall will be a nice break!

This was for a challenge to scrap a vacation itinerary. I think I'll use this as the first page of my Hawaii book. I love how it turned out, even though I was unsure right up to the last second.

Date element - Date Swirls by Jenn Barrette

I did this page for a speed scrap. All the instructions were lining up and I had this vision in my head of a nice clean page with the focus on this adorable photo of my two youngest and then she threw in an instruction to use 20 elements!! That threw a monkey wrench in but I managed.

This last page is about my youngest's first word. I know it's strange, but it was purple. Yep, you got it. Purple. I had also gotten this kit with such gorgeous purple colours in it that I had to use it for something! Have I mentioned that I love purple?

So, that's basically what I've got done in the last few weeks (except one I'm not posting...gotta have some surprises when people see my book!) and one I'm working on now (and it's a doozy!).

Until next time...
