layout from sketch

I found a sketch by Lisa E Designs (lisae-design.blogspot.com) and made a layout using it.  I have included both the sketch and my layout.

The paper is MME Cut & Paste "Flair" collection.  I can't remember where I got it but I got a kit that had the paper, cut-a-parts, stickers, tiny word stickers, and ribbon.  The ribbon that came in then kit was MME Stella Rose.  The stickers for the title came from my stash and the pink glitter rose I made awhile ago and the white leaves were something I got off of www.listia.com.  Not sure the brand on them, they just said fashion flowers & accessories.  

The layout is of my daughter being checked out by the doctor after she ran into the wall while doing the backstroke in swim team practice.  Luckily it wasn't broken but it was jammed and very badly sprained.  So, unfortunately she was out for the next two swim meets.  The elbow is now fine and she will be back to swim next season.

Christmas Tree Advent Calendar

My Christmas Tree Advent Calendar.

The tree itself and the base are cut from medium weight chipboard I got at Walmart.  The drawers were cut using a file from the Silhouette Online store (one drawer box) that I re-sized so I could fit 25 boxes on the page.  Each box has a piece of chipboard behind the front panel to add stability for the pull which is a jingle bell attached with a wire.  I am really happy with the way this turned out.

S.H.O.P. 2 (Moment in Time Layout)

 This is another in my Stash horded on page layouts.  The horded items on this layout are the felt floral border (so old I have no idea where I got it or who made it).  The Moment in TIME vellum title, gem butterfly stickers (I think I got them at Walmart.  Not sure of the brand), Jolee's together blossoms 3d sticker and the blue label that says Bring your own Sparkle wherever you go and the journal block.  The paper, feather and prima flower were new.  The vase of flowers 3d sticker came off a thank you card I received from someone.

 My daughter's friend wants to be a photographer and librarian when she grows up.  So, she practices on her friends taking their pictures.  I love the way she captured my daughter in this photo.

S.H.O.P. 1

 This is a layout I did for my first S.H.O.P (stash horded on pages).  I wanted to start using those things in my stash of scrapbooking supplies that I have been hording. I have a bad habit of thinking, "If I use this here, I won't have it for later."  How silly is that?  So I am on a mission to use up my stash and especially those horded items before allowing myself to buy more.  To that end, I used the Creative Imaginations Awkward Family Photos paper and a couple of the stickers, some yellow enamel dots, alpha stickers that I have had so long I have no idea what company they were from, and three wooden precious moments type buttons (the poem called for four young ladies standing in a row so I made a 4th from my Silhouette Cameo.  I cut the image 8 times and glued them all on top of each other to give the same thickness as the buttons.)

I am very pleased with the layout in general but especially since I used some of the things I have been hording.

Bowling Green Park

This is a layout I made using the sketch.  The layout is of our family vacation in New York.  We had been walking around the financial district and after taking pictures with the bull we found Bowling Green Park and it was the perfect spot to rest our aching feet.  I switched it up a bit by adding my journal spot below the picture because I wanted to put the map location in the circle.  It had a small arrow pointing to our location but I plan on using the map location and a geo tag on each page in the New York trip album and a consistent theme throughout the book.  So, I added a geo tag and covered up the small arrow.  I did a date stamp with arrows between the two photos and then did a stamp above and two below without re-inking the stamp to give it the fade out look.  The tile and the photo corners were cut with my Silhouette Cameo and the map was cut using the print & cut feature of the Silhouette studio software.
