15th Layout of 2009-Birthday Party

My sister Mary and I enjoyed a night of scrapbooking last night at Archivers. I completed 13 layouts and will be sharing them all in the coming days.

This one is from Nikolas' birthday party at McDonald's. I didn't have any embellishments planned for this page when I got there. Luckily, I found this great circle motif overlay. Mary gave me some orange brads to mount it to the cardstock.

Favorite Picture for Family Photo Shoot

A little over a week ago we had a family photo shoot with my side of the family. My good friend Cindy's husband came by the house with all his equipment and took some great photos. This one of Nikolas and Chewy is my favorite. We really had a hard time getting both boys to cooperate.

14th layout of 2009-Pretty Boy

I copied the basic design (placement of pictures, title and journaling) from a layout published in the February issue of Creating Keepsakes (page 111), the style of the title came from another layout on page 110, where the artist applied rub-ons to colored paper and then cut them out. I printed out my title using the Warren font, stamped the color over the letters and then cut them out.

I used two pieces of the same pattern paper, but the colors look really washed out on the left page.

13th Layout of 2009-Sun Devotion

All the pattern paper for this layout came from The Pet Stack from Die Cuts With a View. I scraplifted the layout from the cover of Creating Keepsakes' special issue 101 Expert Solutions for Scrapbooking.

12th Layout of 2009-That's What I want for Xmas

I've been preparing pages for an upcoming crop at the end of the month. I started to plan this page and realized that it would be better to complete it now b/c I won't remember exactly how I wanted the pictures to overlap. So this one is out of order chronologically.

I used the last piece of cardstock and pattern paper left from Coordinates Collections' Dec 07 kit Jingle and the letter stickers I just got in the Jan 09 Rumba kit. The ribbon is from my stash. I used my Silhouette to cut an large "O" out of the pattern paper and used both the inner circle and the letter shape.

Seven More Months until I see Mickey!

I can't believe I missed posting these yesterday. Yes, I can because my day was all messed up after they called school due to the freezing temps. Well today, is another "Snow Day", but the cold has been chanting "7 more months until Disney World..."

Here are some more layouts from our 2006 trip. This is Day Three: 10/21, spent at Magic Kingdom.

These first layout was totally scraplifted from some one's layout I found online, I think at 2 Peas.

The titles on the Tomorrowland and Fantasyland layouts were done before I had my Silhouette, so I cut both titles out by hand.

The small world layout was part of a challenge posted on WDW Trivia website--using the lyrics of the song in your layout.

11th Layout of '09-Zoo Trip with Friends

Nikolas has a lot of zoo layouts in his scrapbook. For 2008, if you count the zoo camp layout and the December field trip I haven't scrapbooked yet, there will be 9 layouts in his book.

I used what I had left of the Edgar Allen Poe kit from Coordinates Collections for this layout.
