A Masculine Layout for My Sheri Crafts

My 2 year old is all boy. He loved gadgets and anything to do with technology even when he was a baby. One time, Daddy left his USB for his Iphone plugged in the computer. It probably looked delicious, so the baby promptly put it in his mouth. The monitor displayed this message: "Error, unrecognizable device". I think he was trying to download something. lol! For this layout, I used Pro Player Paper Packet, Pro Player My Stickease Assortment and Durable Triangle Studs. I used the Front Center Trio layout pattern in page 70 of My Reflections Scrapbook Program .

A Night Owl's First Hallowe'en

I was very excited when Charlotte gave us a challenge featuring "The Night".  Well it's about time I make a layout featuring the baby's first Halloween.  I fussy cut the pumpkins and owl and raven strips from a Halloween-themed paper from Reminisce.  I made paper lace using a bat border punch from EK Success.  The cobweb paper is from DCWV.   The font was cut using the Happy Haunting Cricut cartridge and measures 1 1/2".  The moon is from October 31st, cut at 2".  I traced the edges of the letters and the pumpkins with Stickles to make this simple layout pop.

 The night owl was asleep all throughout the photo session. :-)

At The Pumpkin Patch

Our requirement for this biweekly challenge sponsored by Marge was to create a card/project using fall colors.  We took the baby to the pumpkin patch at Mother Nature's Farm last year to pick his pumpkin and we might do it again this year. 
The main background and the 10x10" insert are from Basic Grey's Curio paper pack. I fussy cut the pumpkins and the scarecrow from a Halloween designer paper from Reminisce for my embellishments.  The paper lace, postage stamp and label are stickers from the Curio paper pack.  I added Stickles for sparkle.

Let's Take A Trip!

We took the baby to visit his grand parents in Alabama last year.  This challenge was the perfect opportunity for me to scrap the pictures that I took of him during the car ride.  He got bored and to amuse himself, he decided to bite his toes. lol!

I used a designer paper from Pink Paislee's London Market paper pack for my background.  The inked paper behind the photos is from K&Co.  The font and arrows were cut at 2 1/2" using the Summer Vacation Cricut cartridge.  I added some flowers from Sassafras Lass, a Tim Holtz token as a flower center, a car image from Graphic 45, and a label cut using a Spellbinder's die for journaling.

Vintage Layout

I made this layout based on what my swap sister had said about her grandmother's garden. She also has a lovely daughter and I was inspired by the thought of a heart filled with love-- a wonderful heritage that has been passed on from generation to generation. Just like flower seeds, love planted and nurtured will continue to grow more beautiful each day.

I used paper from Amanda Blu and K&Co. I also used my paper lace cartridge so that I could have the look of an old quilt for my photo mats. I used Martha Stewart border punch on the strips of pearlized cardstock. I embellished the layout with Viva Decor pearl pens, and Prima Flowers. The tags are from 7 Gypsies and the journaling frames were cut using Spellbinders. The font is from Gypsy Font, cut at 1 1/4".

Organic Layouts

This week's theme at My Sheri Crafts is "Organic". My hubby and a couple of other friends and I went on a nature hike on April last year. I decided to make a couple of layouts with the theme in mind. The paper were from from Webster's Pages, and Anna Griffin. The green paper for the photo mats were from Me And My Big Ideas. The flowers and lace were from Prima. The sinamay was sent to me from the Philippines. I had cut a journaling tag using my Spellbinder's dies and I embossed it using my Cuttlebug Leafy Branch embossing folder. The other journaling tag was also cut using Spellbinders. I used pop squares to add more dimension to the round tag, and Billy's picture.

Wintry Layout

I rarely post layouts in my blog, and my guilty reason is that I am not caught up with my scrapping. :-P I made this all-white layout for the Secret Sister swap. I used pearl paper from AC, GP white cardstock and glitter paper from Core'dinations. The chipboard letters were from DCWV, embellished with Flower Soft. The large snowflake was from When Its Cold Outside, cut at fit to page. I used my Spellbinders dies, embossed using Cuttlebug folders for the picture mats and the tags. The border punches are from Martha Stewart, and I used Viva Decor pearl pen for the flourishes. The crystal flourish is from Recollections.

FFA Layout

It has been a while since I made any layout, mainly due to lack of pics. I made a layout with an FFA theme for a swap sister whose son is active with the organization. The paperdoll was cut at 3" and the face was drawn using a Copic SP 0.25 pen. The barnyard animals are from Create A Critter, cut at 1", and the horse is cut at 1 1/2". The barn is from Old West, cut at 5". The sun was cut at 2".
