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!

Snowy Day Layout

Some times you get lucky.  I had these cutouts and they matched perfectly with this scrapbook paper that I have.  It sure made for a quick and easy page.  Sometimes, it's the little things that make you smile.  Love the Christmas lights that my son put on his head.  Silly boy.  Sure do love him.  He brings such love and joy into our home.  So grateful for him.

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......

Seminary Graduation

 

I am so proud of my daughter.  Not only did she graduate from high school, but she graduated from seminary.  Seminary is a program that she had to take an hour off from school each day during her 4 years of high school, to learn more about our Savior and His love for her.  Such a huge accomplishment.  Love you!  

I am entering this into the back to school challenge, but since she just graduated and doesn't have school, it's a school graduation page.

Wrestling Layout

Wrestling items are so hard to find.  It was so nice to actually find paper and stickers to use on a layout.   I knew my son would like these no frills layouts so these are for him.  So proud of him and it has been so fun to watch him improve.   Good job son!

Love You 2 Pieces Layout

I have been trying to get caught up on some scrapbooking and so I have been watching challenges to get me going.  Today, I a challenge to use stripes and an anything goes.  I had this striped paper on hand and decided it would go well with these photos.  Yeah!  Once again loving the print and cut!  I had made a couple of these titles awhile ago and it worked great for this layout too! Love using those items I have on hand with new ones.  Another page done!  Yeah!  Title I made myself but the print and cut are from Treasure Box Designs.

You had me at Hello Layout

Another layout created from leftovers from other layouts.  That's a great way to bash my stash.  I love being able to make cute layouts with leftovers.  That's a win win!  However, I love the man in the photos more than any layout!  haha.  This year we have had an early winter with 6 inches of snow already in October!  Yikes.  So this layout is fall/winter because this year it came super early.  Sadly, we didn't get warm until July either.  So very little summer and right back into winter.  It's going to be a long 9 months!

Let It Snow Layout

Winter fun!  We love playing in the snow!  These cute little snowmen and snowmobile rider are from Treasure Box Designs.  I did them in print and cut too.  My goal this week is to do as many odd ball pictures that I have laying around as possible.  You know.....the ones that you have a few photos of different events that you've never gotten around to doing.  I have a whole stack of those and I am trying to get them done and in the book.  Print and cut is making it possible to do that.  Woo hoo!  It also helps that I found a challenge to motivate me on this page.  LOL.  Love that!

Fall Days Layout Corn Maze

This was a really quick and fun page to put together.  The flowers and title came from Miss Kate's Cuttables and other than that I just used coordinating papers.  I do love the movement of this page and it was fun to let the paper be it's own embellishment.  I have SO much paper that I need to do more layouts like this!  LOL.  Anyone else admit to being a paper hoarder?

Happy Anniversary Layout

Here is the quickest layout I have done in forever.  The paper came that way so all I did was add photos, a title, and the 25.  Not sure when the last time I created a layout so fast.  Gotta love that! We have been planning to go to Cancun for our anniversary but haven't found the right package yet.  So we stole away for a weekend getaway at a cabin and went floating down the river, we took takeout from our favorite restaurants with us, and went to a dinner/comedy/show while we were out of town.  It was a really fun, relaxing anniversary and can't wait to go get away to  Cancun soon.   Happy Anniversary sweetie!  May the next 25 years be just as great!  I am so lucky to have married my very best friend!

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.

Christmas Eve 2016 Layouts

So I had these borders left over from a big project that I did and decided to do some pages to go with a Christmas challenge that was posted.  By combining them in a different way, I was able to do another 4 page layout set with my scraps.  Even the trees and snowflakes came from leftover scraps.  I just cut them into these cute little trees which I LOVE.  Who knew little trees could make me so happy.  LOL.  I am so behind on Christmas.... one more event done!

I love my dog Coco layout

In January of 2018, we lost my sweet little Coco.  She was honestly the best dog I have ever had.  She followed me everywhere.  Once time she even went up in a 40 foot boom truck and wasn't even scared as long as I was holding her.  She followed me everywhere and was truly my little side kick.  Sadly when she was just over 9 years old she developed kidney failure and her levels were so high they couldn't help her.  I even tried making homemade dog food to get her to eat but she wouldn't have any of it.  She was brave and sweet right up to the end.  I still miss her so much!  She was truly the sweetest and best little companion.

Graduation Layout

 Where did the time go?  I can't believe my daughter graduated.  What a fun time.  She isn't into too much froo froo stuff so these pages are simple and just her style.  Love you sweet girl!

Happy Campers Layout

 I had fun making this layout.  The cute papers all came from a kit I was given at a scrapbooking retreat from my secret sister and the cutouts were some from grab bags I got at Our on a Limb for .80.  They were well worth the money.  So many of the ladies wouldn't even look at them, but since I cut so many files, I had a good idea what some of the pieces would make so I bought them in an unmarked bag.  We often go to a cabin and we spend a lot of time outdoors so I knew that these pine cones would go somewhere.  The colors look like they were made for this page.  Love it!

Sunny Summer Days Layout

 Just some fun family memories of lazy summer days.  It's always the best when I can get my whole family together.  Something special and perfect about those days.
