Background PP is from Me and my Big Ideas, the ledger PP is from CI. I cut the title out with my Cricut... but I can't remember which cartridge I used! The pink flower is from Heidi Swapp, and I made the white flower from a strip of lace and an MM brad. The blue photo mat is actually from cuttlebug embossing folders packaging. The ruffled ribbon was in my stash.
I had a hard time figuring out how to scrapbook Megan's school pics.. but am thrilled with the results!
I used some old Fresh Prints PP from my stash for the background. A paper bag for the photo mat/ journaling envelope. I added a border with the paper bag punched with a Fiskars border punch. I played around with the title and cardboard and used some Ranger Distress crackle paint, a little bit of misc white paint, and some Thickers make up the title. The "Kk" sticker is from foof a la, and I am not sure where the green twill came from. I had Megan write her name on some cream CS and she will write on the journaling tag her favorite things about school.

I actually scrapbooked this weekend!
I made the background paper myself! I had some Rhonda Farrer PP that I loved, but was the wrong color pink. So I broke out my PTI Fancy Flourishes stamp set, some Hibiscus Burst ink, and Versamark. Then I sponged Fresh Snow ink around the edges of some Bazzill CS.
The cupcake accent is from the Cricut Sweet Treats cartridge. The "cake" is embossed with the Swiss Dots embossing folder, and the wrapper is crimped (Fiskars Crimper). The "M" bling is from Hobby Lobby.
Stickles, Queen and Co felt fusion, Heidi Swapp "sweet", and a napkin cut out with Nesties finishes the page. I do not like the journaling block so I will probably redo it...
I actually scrapbooked a layout this weekend!

At CKC Kansas City last year I bought the Maya Road mitten acrylic and chipboard albums. I finally broke them out and made a mini album with pictures of us sledding on Christmas Day.
This weekend my SIL gave me the best belated birthday gift ever... she kept both girls overnight! The girls had a blast, and Mommy had some much needed alone time. I even spent some of it in my craft room!
This layout is about traditions. Specifically BBQ traditions in the Frymire house. I am determined to use up my stash, so out came some REALLY old PP by K&Co. The chipboard letters are from Heidi Swapp and Paper Studio (Large T) and were spritzed with Red Velvet Glimmer Mist along with the red gingham PP. The chipboard absorbed the glimmer mist differently than the PP (of course) and did not look right. So I pulled out my PTI Pure Poppy ink pad and added a little more red... perfect! The chipboard "S" has the edges inked with Pure Poppy also. Under the title and focal image is a scrap of "denimish" (ok.. not a word but I can not think of a better one right now) fabric that i frayed the edges on. The focal picture and the "s" accent are up on dimensionals.
I think that I want to go back and distress the edges of the denim PP a little, but other than that I like it!
Supplies: MME PP, Bazzill CS, MM Journaling page, Martha Stewart glitter,
Heidi Swapp journaling spots, misc brads
Another new layout! When I was finished with the layout I decided that it needed something else, and I wanted to add brads to the scallops. I could not find the right color brads though. I remembered a tutorial I saw online somewhere to change the color of brads with embossing powders, so I decided to give it a try!
I used my heat gun to heat up the brad, and then dipped it in the embossing powder. After heating the embossing powder I dipped the brad into the glitter. Another blast of the heat gun and the glitter was set! I added some more glitter to the PP for a final touch and then called it done!
These pictures of my nephew were taken on the same day as the Backyard Summer Fun pictures, but they were so good I thought that he needed his own layout! The layout is inspired by one in the Page Maps book.
I am learning to accept imperfections. I was done with the layout, but thought that it needed something else so I added the hand-drawn line around the PP. It turned out messy, and uneven. In the past I would have redone the entire layout because it was not perfect. This time I set it down, cleaned up my mess, and when I looked at it again I decided that it was fine. It was handmade and there will be imperfections, and there is nothing wrong with that.
