This layout was done for one of Love is in the Details online crops in May. Lisa challenged us to use the negative part of a die cut. Fellow Magical Memories DT member Lillian had lent me her Cricut to use while she was a way for a month (I KNOW-isn't that kind??) so I used Accent Essentials, one of my favorite cartridges, to cut the blue square and used the negative at the bottom. Then I cut a black set and layered them on the page with the blue. These pictures were taken when Greg was here visiting, and of course I had to do family pictures. All was going good, the first few were good, then Jessa realized Sarah's hair was in reaching distance, and if you look closely at the pics, you can see that a bit of fun followed. Greg was laughing so hard at the end. It made me so happy. :)
This next one was totally staged, but I love how the LO turned out. Dave is such a good sport.
This layout was from a sketch provided by Chelsea at LIITD. As I was taking this picture, I heard Liam say to Sarah "Please don't splash me, I don't like to get wet". I had to chuckle, since he was up to his waist in water and had been swimming for an hour already.
Melissa over at LIITD challenged us to use something from the junk drawer. I have to admit I am never a fan of these challenges, since I like to be sure what I am using is Acid free (or at least came from the scrap store) but I opened the junk drawer and saw a tube of those little Silverette things for cake decorating and I thought "OOOH! Bling!"
I did this LO of Greg, with a picture from his 18th birthday, for the Spring Fling crop with Magical Memories. I used a sketch from Mix it Up, and challenged the croppers to use it. I gave my "something that is Pink" Layout (see a former post) that I did for that challenge, then I also flipped the sketch and did this layout.
Lisa challenged us to use three different border punches on our Layout. I don't have three different border punches, so I used one that I do have, a precut one from Bazzill and a scallop punch cut in half to create the border on this LO. Then I used the scallop punch to create a frame for the picture.
LIITD owner Lori challenged us to create a LO where the focal point was the centre. I used this picture of Sarah holding up her shoe, I can't remember what the problem was, but she was wearing a princess dress and crown and the picture reminds me so much of Cinderella losing her shoe. I had this picture for a long time and finally made it work.
One of my challenges at the Spring Fling crop was a Recipe challenge. I had a list of things commonly used on a LO and a "condition" for each. For example, the number of different manufacturers of pp you used depended on the length of your hair and whether it was in a ponytail that day. Others depended on if you were wearing a black bra, or if you had painted your bedroom this year, and how many pets you have. This is my Layout based on the requirements I met the day I did it. I really like how this one turned out.
This was my color inspiration layout for Mel's challenge at LIITD. I love the Rusty Pickle Pirate Princess line.
This layout was for the Spring Fling again. Annisa challenged us to use a large picture, 8x10 or bigger and make it the focal point. No journalling, let the picture tell the story. Here is my Handsome Greg, from Dave and I's wedding.
And finally, my Men. Again, this picture is from our family photo session. I love it for it's casual fun. This was a scraplift challenge from the LIITD gallery, and I knew I needed a manly LO, so I went straight to Angele's gallery. I LOVE how this one turned out, and it's a straight scraplift. Thanks Angele!!!!
Since then I've mostly been working on Sarah's chrono album, trying to get caught up so I can start Jessa's, since she turned one this month. It's been a crazy busy month, but things should slow down in July. I am super excited because I am flying out of here next Thursday all by myself for a weekend in Winnipeg. The purpose of the trip is to go to a crop in Miami with a bunch of the LIITD girls, most of whom I haven't met. Really, I can't tell you how excited I am. Next post will be to show my layout for the MM DT, using one of the new BG lines! Can't wait to get to work on it!
Keep scrappin, see you soon!
