Kayaking Adventures Layouts

 

I am a few years behind on my scrapbooking but when I found these cute little Kayaking Adventures file on my computer from Little Scraps of Heaven and a summer challenge, I decided to scrapbook this fun weekend.  My silly little snorkie likes to ride on the kayaks with me.  My husband was fishing and caught a fish.  She dove off the kayak to catch the fish and ended up soaked.  She was shivering when I pulled her in but she still wanted that wiggly fish she could see.  It was so funny.  It's nice to have a dog that we can take along.  She also likes to ride in the rhino too.  Now if she would just learn to come when she is called and not be too excited to wander off and see the world......

Lady Bug Swing Card

I have a friend who is struggling and decided to make a card for her this week.  So in my browsing, I found a couple of fun challenges and thought I'd make her a card using them.  One was use a Little Scraps of Heaven file and one was a kinectic card.  While reading the one challenge, I must admit, I clicked into it just because I wasn't sure what a kinetic card was.  Then when I realized it was one with motion, I decided to make a swing card.   I haven't made one in a long time and they are just a fun interactive card.  I hope it makes her smile!  The little lady bug is a Little Scraps of Heaven Design file.  Isn't he cute.  I have a few of hers that are my absolute favorite and this is one of them.  I love it.  I've made him blue, red, pink and he's just cute no matter what color you cut him.  So fun.  I love being able to use my scraps too,  This card was done using my leftover paper from another project.  It looks good on this card too.

Miles of Memories Layout

I love new designs.  This layout was scraplifted from one of my facebook groups.  She had created one and shared it in design space.  Since I don't use design space, I created my version of the layout using SVG files that I already owned.  I think my title turned out cute too.  Her layout said Miles of Memories, but I like the mountains and the trail along with the title on it.  So much fun.  I forgot how fun scrapbooking can be.  It's been a awhile.  I have been trying to do print and cut lately and it was giving me a headache.  So it was nice to be able to create something.  Lovin' how this layout turned out.   Can't wait to get my pictures developed and on it.

July 4th Layout

This cute little frog is a Marjorie Ann Designs file.  Isn't she cute.  I happened to have one lone frog left over from a layout I did on the fourth of July from pictures from a couple years ago.  I had intended to put her on a card or something, but never did.  While I was putting together this quick layout, I snagged her and put her on. I think she looks like she was meant to be here.  There are so many cute designers out there and she is one of my favorites.  Always such cute files.  The flower was jut a basic shape I found somewhere but it looks cute on the top!

Embossed Rose Card

Ok...so I ordered a bunch of the cheap embossing folders from China and I have to say, I love them.  They do a nice job and this one was only about $1.30.  It took a while to arrive, but it is so pretty.  I ordered like 15 of them so I just had to play with a couple since they just arrived.  Love how it looks on this card.  Hope you can see it.  The disadvantage of using my phone versus my camera but look close.  The white is embossed with the prettiest rose folder.  I think this one is my favorite out of all of them I ordered!  I love it!

Game On Layout

I absolutely love these little bears.  A few months ago, I saw the cutest layout with little black bears. I was going to buy some when I found this little guy in my collection.  He was originally a brown bear, but I thought "I bet he will be cute as a black bear."  And I was right.  He is a cute little black bear!  I made a few of him and did a layout called "Love you 2 pieces" with puzzle pieces, but I had a few left over.  We had the opportunity to go to a cabin for a family vacation and when we go, we often play games.  I thought wouldn't those little guys look cute on a cabin layout with all of us playing cards....yep, yep, and yep again!  LOL.  Sadly, all these little guys now have homes.  I like him well enough, maybe he'll show up another time somewhere else.  But until then, he looks adorable on this Game On layout!

My Family Layout

They grow so fast.  These pictures were taken a couple years ago and my son has grown probably 6 inches and lost 20 lbs.  He looks totally different.  It was a fun day to hang out at the train station and get their photos though.  So glad that I will have these memories to cherish forever!  Love my family!

Sundae Treat Box

I am going to a scrapbook retreat in about a month and we do a secret sister exchange.  I decided I'd better get started because I have a lot coming up in the next month also.  So I decided to take one of the caddy essentials boxes from a collection from My Scrap Chick and make this cute little box.  The I used a cute sundae file from KaDoodle Bug Designs to make the cute little sundae.  I think it turned out cute.  I'm going to make a card and also one of those Sundae's made with a cup, loofa, and straw to go with it.  Maybe some chocolates to go in the box.  This lady is new to our group so I've never met her before.  Here's to hoping she likes it!  Here's a couple challenges to enter it into also.

Girl Sun Burst Card

I won some files from Too Cute by Jessica and loved these little girls.  This is actually a cancer set, however, I just changed the color she is wearing and she becomes just a girl.  I decided to make these the other day along with  4 of these cards.  So I decided to put her on one of them and I think she looks cute!  I like having extra cards around so that I can quickly give one for whatever reason.  I think someone will like her!

July 4th Parade Layouts

Aren't these cute little froggies adorable!  I just knew they needed to go on a 4th of July layout or two.  LOL.  They are Kristi W. Designs files and oh so cute.  I even did them as a print and cut.  Lovin' them!  Thought I would enter it into a red white and blue challenge with some green of course for those cute little frogs!  LOL.

Sunshine Layout

Just a couple quick pictures of my kids hanging out at a local lake.  What fun summer fun.  One of my favorite summer things to do is play in the water.  I love the heat, the sand, the water.  Summer is my favorite season!  I decided to try some more print and cut.  Love how quick it comes together!  Sometimes for these oddball pictures that I never get around to, this might just be the perfect answer. Gets them done and in the book.  Have to love that.  These files are from Miss Kate's Cuttables.

Beat the Heat Layout - Mexico

Here's a fun layout that I created for our cruise that we took with the kids to Mexico.  We are hanging out at Stone Island in Mazatlan.  What a fun day with our family!  Love these guys!  It was my children's first time flying on a plane, seeing the ocean, being on a cruise ship and leaving the country.  Guess we waited to do it all in one vacation!  LOL.  We had a ball.  These cute little bears are from KaDoodle Bug Designs.  Aren't they cute!  I am entering this into the Cutitupchallenge.  They are celebrating 100 challenges!  Way to go!  Happy summer all!

Black and White Thinking of You Card

I have a friend who is going through a rough time right now so I made her this card.  I love the pop of color on the black and white.  So simple, elegant, and nice.  Hope it makes her smile!

Fair Time Paper Piecings

 This year we went to the fair.  I have the pictures developed and had a few minutes so I made these cute little files to go with those pictures.  Aren't they fun.  The titles I just made, the turtle is from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs, the bears are from Cuddly Cute Designs, the popcorn and cotton candy and are from Miss Kate's Cuttables, and I don't know who shared the cute little carmel apple.  (If it's yours, please let me know so I can give you credit!)  Anyway, it was fun to play with a few files today.  Love how they turned out!  Can't wait to put them on a page soon!

Print and Cut----Looky looky!

These are my first attempts at print and cut!  To say that I am thrilled is underestimating it!  How fun is this....I wish I could say that they were "faster" but by the time I figured it out and got it to read the registration marks it wasn't any faster, but it WAS a lot of fun!  So glad that they turned out.  I still have some things to figure out....why one car cut out the window and the other didn't but I will figure it out.  Just pleased that I got it to finally work!  Yeah!  Now if my printer just made better prints....have I mentioned that I dislike Epson????  (The photo is enhanced...not true to how they printed sadly....)

Cowgirl Sun Card

Here's a sun card that I made for a challenge and I decided to add the little cowgirl to it.  She turned out so cute!  What a fun little cowgirl.  My daughter loves her cowboy boots so I just had to have this file.  She is from Precious Piecings and I think she is adorable!
