Lego Safari Layout

We had such a fabulous time at LEGOLAND this summer. It was busy and hot but not as crazy as Disney. The rides were perfect for my daughter and the Lego creations were amazing. I insisted on doing the safari ride not realizing it is a two minute ride after an hour wait. We took all sorts of pictures which is a good thing as the ride is so quick you can barely remember it! I'll have to scrap some of those pictures on another page.

 
I used the sketch from Scrapbook Steals Midweek Mojo: Lily #2.

Believe Layout

Everything is pink and hearts with Valentine's around the corner so I had to dig into my new Simple Stories Simple Set: Hope. I won this set so it seems a little strange to use it for a purpose other than to encourage someone with breast cancer. But thank goodness I don't know anyone in this situation. I'm glad I could still make use of the kit. (PS - my plan was not to put the blue stickers on the left side but I dropped a pen on my layout and it made a mark. I couldn't get rid of it so I tried to decorate it with the supplies I had left - blah).

 
I was inspired by the Scrappy Friend's challenges. The sketch is from GrandDiva's Creative Corner.
 
 
The subject of the layout came from Creating With Paper and More. I used the hearts, flowers and love theme. The colours of this kit also matched the pink and grey from the colour palette. I almost made my title "Believe in Love" but I like the look of just one word.
 
 
The final challenge is to choose a polaroid frame or chipboard frame. I used the polaroid frame. This is at Rochelle Spears's site.
Supplies
Paper, banner, title & date - Simple Stories: Hope
2 Red Heart Stickers - Bella Blvd: Fresh Market
Heart and Star Stickers - Simple Stories: diy word stickers
Flowers - Prima & Recollections
Frame - DCWV: Snapshot Stack
Pearls - Michael's

Lucky Star Layout

I was so excited yesterday to receive a prize I won during all the CHA giveaways. I won the three new Simple Sets from Simple Stories. They are so lovely I had to dig into them today. I used the "Heart" Simple Set. This set is actually meant to remember someone who has passed but I (thank goodness) don't have any pictures that fit that situation. There is enough in each set to stray a bit from their themes. This picture is of my daughter at my brother's wedding.


I used the sketch from the Mid-Week Mojo Challenge (Lily #1) at Scrapbook Steals.

Kennedy Space Centre Layout - DT Sketches In Thyme

It was so nice to get 6 pictures scrapped! We had such a blast at the KSC, I'm so glad we got so many pictures. Also helped that it was the second day of our trip and we were a little camera happy. I used sketch #181 from Sketches In Thyme.


Can you tell I used Halloween products and one Christmas product? If you are doing a space theme I encourage you to start with your Halloween stash.

I made the moon with my circle cutter, then rubbed black ink on with a felt dabber. The moon rocks were made with a Fiskar's stencil.

My daughter and her friend were pumped that I won hair chalk and tattoos at a social. They spent the whole afternoon covering themselves in glitter and glue.

I used American Crafts paper and Thickers from list 1. I used butterfly paper and chipboard from list 2. From list 3 I used a chipboard swirl, asterisk and butterfly.
