Mission Airport Layout

 My son made the decision to serve a 2 year mission to teach about Jesus Christ.  We are so excited for him and can't wait to hear about all of his experiences.  Trying to do a layout that isn't girly or cute is harder for me.  LOL.  But sometimes, the more simple the better.  Let the photos and journaling tell the story.  Love you son!  See you in two!

Love 12x12 Heart Layout

 I saw something similar to this online and just loved it so I made my own file and here is the page.  I don't have a photo of me and my hubby to put on it yet, but just love how this layout turned out.  This 12x12 stuff is fun!

August 2021 Year in Review Layout

 So my friend challenged me to do a 2 or 4 page layout for each month to get more photos in the book and to not stress about having time to do them all.  She asked me to pick my favorite photos from the month and scrapbook them.  Then some of the memories would be preserved even if I never made it to scrapbooking all of them.  I loved this idea.  This is my August layout.  I am making progress!  And as an extra bonus, I was able to join these challenges.

12x12 Seasonal Grid Kit Fall

Ok....so I had a friend making these 12x12 grid kits from Mom and Me Scrapbooking   However the price of $25 plus the frame of $20 added up quickly as they had one for each month.  I thought they were so cute so I thought to myself, why don't I make something like that but with just paper and not wood pieces.  This is what I came up with and the bonus is, I didn't buy anything to make it.  It was created with my own stash and cut files I already had.  I insert this into a 12x12 shadow box frame and can change the seasons as I want and the bonus is, they all fit behind each other in the frame!  This is my "fall" version of my grid kit.  The files are Miss Kate's Cuttables and cricut cuts.  I think it turned out cute.  Can't wait to give a set to my secret sister!  What do you think?  Now on to make winter, spring, and summer.

Fall Days 12x12 layout

,

Ok, so I am thankful for an assignment to step out of my box. I signed up to do a 2 page 12x12 layout exchange for my scrapbook retreat and loved it so much I had to make another 12x12 layout.  I just may be hooked.   So since I don't normally do 12x12 I started looking for motivation and came across a few fall and Thanksgiving challenges.  Since it is that time of year, I decided to give it a try.   I love these files and colors and everything about this layout.  The colors are vibrant and fun and will look so fun with the pictures I have of the changing fall colors.  I am so excited to go to retreat and get my other layouts from the exchange and put together my first 12x12 book.  I have TONS of scrapbooks, but NONE 12x12.  This will be my very first one!  LOL.  Oh and these files are all from Miss Kate's Cutables.  I just combined them to make one layout.  One was a title and the other was called fall bird I think.  Anyway, I absolutely LOVE them!  So glad that I purchased these....what a fun page for $1.00 worth of files!

4x4 Layout

Here's a 4 wheeling layout that I created using the little 4-wheeler from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.  Such a cute little 4 wheeler.  I changed her title to just be 4x4 and like it better.  I also used the mountain from a Miss Kate's Cuttables file.  I love how it has the snow on the top and yet is only 2 cuts!  Love their files for there ease of use!
