Carpe Diem Layout

I ordered some Simple Stories stuff with a gift certificate I had and wanted to play with it right away. I also have some kid-free time so here is the result from this morning:

I love this sketch from Stuck?! Sketches. I stayed true to the sketch because why mess with a good thing?

Love My Stuffies Layout

This stuffie tiger is so cute. Memère made him some pants and matching pajamas for my daughter. The best part is he make sounds when you squeeze him, including toots! He is a big hit with the four-year-old crowd.

I used the sketch in this month's DCWV Scrap-a-holic Challenge. I turned it sideways and drew on the stitching. I even managed to keep the title going the same direction as the sketch.

 

I'm also participating in the challenge at Simon Says Stamp. This month's theme is Cute and Cuddly. What isn't more cute and cuddly than stuffies?

Good Times Layout

I love the look of cut backgrounds with paper pieced in. I'm so glad I finally got to try it out.

 

I used the sketch at the Midweek Mojo Challenge Lily #5b for inspiration.

 

 

I used a cut file from Just Nick called Crazy Daisy for the background and the Happy Times file from Juliana Michaels for the title.

The Sweet Life Layout

I got a new camera for Christmas so I was taking pictures of everything trying to learn all the settings. I happened to get this decent picture of all the baking that my mother-in-law bakes herself. So yummy! I also love how I found some paper to match the tablecloth in the photo.

I used this month's sketch from My Creative Sketches.

There is also a Green Challenge at Another Freakin' Scrappy Challenge site.

Tiger Time Layout

My friend Danielle Serceau took these amazing photos of my daughter dressed up for Halloween at the lake. Each picture she took was fabulous so I continue to scrap this topic because I want to use each picture.

I saw Bev Code's sketch at Let's Get Sketchy and knew right away I needed to use it. One of my goals is to get better at mixed media so I'm pretty happy with how this turned out.

 

The other exciting thing about this layout is that I used my new Silhouette Cameo!!! I got it for my birthday so I've been playing with it all weekend. I found an SVG of the tiger paws, converted it to jpeg and cut it. It was interesting trying to remove it from the sticky mat and onto my layout because those claws were so small they wanted to stick more to my fingers.
