Virtual Crop - Mixed Media Madness - Friday/Saturday/Sunday Recap 6 Layouts

Once again doing the Victoria Maria virtual crop Mixed Media Madness. I love these even though this the weekend it was held this month there were other things going on and I had to leave the house a couple of times for events. This of course made it so I got less completed during the crop but 6 layouts is still not to shabby.

My first layout above is of my Grandmother, my Mom, Aunt and Uncle. I love this photo and the mixed media on this one is Distress Oxide Ink with a lace stencil to create the floral background. The paper and die cuts are Pretty Little Studios Miss Sadie Rose from my March Scraproom kit. and I used an old border die as the border strip. Love how this turned out.

This Valentine layout is of the gifts for my family for Valentines this year. A friend of mine makes these beautiful cookies(and their yummy). I was so excited to give them to everyone. Cookies are always a hit. The challenge was watercolor. I cheated I have a watercolor paper pad and used that since the colors were ideal.

Emily with her first set of mouse ears she was really little. Lots of stamping on this one which was the challenge the background is all stamped with Echo Park Stamps the cameras are also stamped and Magic Starts Here as well. The title I created on the Silhouette along with the Mini heads and bows. Paper is by Basic Grey(I use it sometimes when I'm not saving it).

Longdogs, always together. Much to Vienna's dismay I think sometimes. I altered the chipboard title and the heart strips are cut from watercolor paper I painted. Paper MME, vellum hearts are Studio Calico.

I don't do a lot of masculine pages but I was excited to get to use Simple Stories Bro. & Co. from a Scraproom kit last summer. The background is done with a Memory Box stencil and embossing paste. Some little letters from Jenni Bowlin and a tag and some stickers from my stash.

Lastly for this crop I did a layout of some birthday pictures of my brother. I used Doodlebug paper and embellishments. Stenciled the dots background with Distress Oxide ink and cut the title with my Silhouette. Some of the 70's and 80's pictures I have are damaged by light but they are all that I have so they will all be documented eventually.

I know I didn't get a lot done this crop and Victoria Marie gives you a couple of weeks after to complete them. I just find I'm so much more motivated during the crop weekend. After it's over I tend to move on to different projects. Maybe I'll come back and finish something half done but that's about it. Still I think 6 layouts on a weekend I had other things going on is Awesome! And it's always fun!

Hope someone is inspired by this. Thanks for stopping by

Vienna Love - Scrappy Saturday

This is "my dog" which is how everyone refers to her. She is the sweetest girl and this is her favorite spot in the mornings when the sun hits the house right here. She is a sunbather for sure.

This layout is from an older layour kit I put together. I love to have a bunch of these on hand I grab a handful and work on them when I have time. The paper is from Studio Calico and the vellum leaves are Basic Grey most everything else is from my color boxes or my old Studio Calico stash.

Have we all slowed down as restrictions start to ease up and we can start going places again? Hope everyone is well! Hugs

Crop Partner - Scrappy Saturday

Another layout today using older items from my stash. I continue on my journey to Use It Up and create some pages for my scrapbooks.

This one is of Dianne my partner in crop or crop partner. We have done the Scrapbook Expo crop a few times and always have had fun. Not sure how productive we are as you can see we're just taking pictures and thinking about food. But it's fun none the less.

This layout uses a lot of Basic Grey including some very old rub ons. I have found very few of my rub ons from BG still work but I got a few on here. The paper is from a 6x6 paper pad by Basic Grey. The pink letters are Simple Stories and the white rub ons for Partner are from Heidi Swap. There are Studio Calico veneer and puffy stickers, Basic Grey banner embellishments and a Doodlebug doily. Some things I don't know they are just from my bits box.

So far the scrapbooking is keeping my mind occupied and I feel like I'm getting things done.

Thank you for stopping by today. Hope your day is Wonderful! Stay Safe.

Play Ball Scrap Our Stash Challenge

I know this is not a great picture but I'm so rarely in photos and I cherish this one with Abbigayle. This was my companies Summer work outing to Picnic and see the Chicago Dogs play(THEY WON!). The kids really didn't want to go but I made them and we all ended up having a great time together. Abbi and I made funny face pictures and the lighting is terrible because of the lights on the baseball field.

The layout itself uses a "new" paper pack I added to my stash from Tuesday Morning from Echo Park - Good Day Sunshine. The baseballs I made with a circle punch and a red pen. From my stash I used Heidi Swap rub ons, glitter dots from Archivers(blast from the past), the puffy arrow is Basic Grey(another blast from the past) and a wood veneer @ from my veneer box and some older MME Christmas washi tape. OOOH and my journaling block is a stamp from KI Memories. I just found it recently in my stash. That is probably the oldest thing on my layout. It's fun to use things that are older, some of them are even coming back around in style!

The sketch comes from the Scrap Our Stash challenge blog March 2020 Sketch Challenge.

I had a great time working on this and remembering our evening as a family. This is the reason I scrapbook to keep the memories alive. Happy and not so happy that turns in to happy as the case may be.

Hope your keeping busy in this crazy time and staying safe with your family. Thank you for stopping by to take a look.

Prom Flowers - Scrappy Saturday

I love that when Emily and Correy went to Junior Prom they created their own flowers for the occasion. He made hers and she made his. It was one of the sweetest things. I took lots of pictures of them creating clearly they were thrilled by my invasion of their creative time.

For this layout I used some Studio Calico flower paper and an pink paper from a pad along with some Basic Grey vellum flowers and paper flowers and pearls from my stash. The letters are Simple Stories(I think) And some gold washi to outline it however it keeps popping up so we will see how long it lasts.

Just staying in and keeping warm during the winter months. Hope all is well with everyone, thank you so much for stopping by.s

We (heart) Fall - Scrappy Saturday

Still on my Basic Grey kick as you can see. I've been digging back into favorite past papers to make up my kits and loving every minute of it. The pumpkin patch is one of my favorite things! The year in these pics we went with Friends/Neighbors and had a blast with the Hay Ride and Haunted House etc. I do love the little banner with the word Fall from tiny alphabet stickers and anything with arrows.....

The oranges and yellows in this paper is perfect for these pictures! So happy how it turned out!

Thank you so much for stopping by I'm having fun sharing layouts and trying to get the photography right. Hope you have a Wonderful Weekend.

Sandpipers - Scrapbook Saturday(Flashback)

This layout I love it's a circle which I thought was really cool at the time. However I insisted on adding those points all around the edge of the already 12 x 12 circle. It's brilliant right? NO it doesn't fit into a page protector(DUH brain fart moment). The photos of the girls playing on the beach (Lake Michigan, MI side) are awesome though. They were so little and still liked each other, total Besties then.

The paper are all Basic Grey(oh how I miss this company). I just cut out the flowers and used hem as an element. I added rub ons for a title and subtitle and the white doodles were done by hand.

Thank you once again for stopping by! Hope your having a fabulous weekend getting ready for the Holidays!
