My BFF Layout

My daughter had a playdate so I got to scrap all afternoon. Whoohoo!


I've been loving all the sketches this month at Sketch-N-Scrap. This one was on my to do list but I didn't think I would get to it before the deadline - but I did, and I love how it turned out!

 
I'm also playing along at The Paper Girls. Challenge #100 is all about "The Paper Girls" so I went with the friendship theme.
 
Lasting Memories is having an Oscar theme this month. I'm joining the Glitter and Glam week. I wasn't sure if I should do the "Black Tie Affair" since we are dressed so nicely but I like all the glitter on the page and how glammed up we are! (Zoom in to see the sparkly flowers!)
 
Supplies
Paper - We R Memory Keepers: Madame Royale
Letters - Fancy Pants: Me-ology (large letters I used a black sharpie over the hot pink)
Embroidery thread
Tim Holtz Distress Tool

I Am Happy Layout

This photo is from a family wedding in a tent on the farm. Pig roast, giant cauldrons of corn on the cob and near the end - pouring rain. Glad I got this pic and that the rain held off until the end.

I'm Peppa Pig Layout

My daughter loves the show Peppa Pig. I got her this necklace for Christmas with a Peppa on it. The best part of her watching the show is all the British English she is picking up. She started using it in her everyday speech which I found amusing. I remember one day she said, "Oh Mommy, you are so clever!". She cracks me up.

 
I used a sketch from Sketch-N-Scrap. It is from their Throwback Thursday Challenge #2.

Paper - Elle's Studio: Love You More
Title - AC Thickers: Kitten
Subtitle - Lawn Fawn: Acorn Brown

Legoland Layout

We had such a blast at LEGOLAND. It is perfect for a four-year-old.


This sketch is perfect for showcasing a bunch of photos that wouldn't be worthy of their own page but work great together. I used the layout at the Midweek Mojo Lily #6 Challenge at Scrapbook Steals. I made the lego brick cut file so if anyone wants to have it, I can send it by email. Just leave me a comment:)
