Always Happy Layout

Hello crafty friends!  I hope all is finding you well.  I'm happy to say I have been able to venture into my craft room again, and this time I created something I haven't done in more than a year... a layout! I have been wanting to create layouts again for quite some time, but I have had such a craft block lately and I wasn't quite sure where to start with making a layout again.

So I turned to several challenges that helped get the ball rolling, and this is what I created...

To create my layout I used a mix of Pinkfresh Studio products (many that come from older collections such as Up in the Clouds: their very first paper collection). 

I was inspired by the Pinkfresh Studio Challenge:

As well as the Scrap Our Stash Challenge: "Feelings"  The Feeling I chose was Happy! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by, I hope to be back with more crafty projects soon!
Happy Crafting!

My Challenge... a layout

Hi!  Today I am popping in to share a layout I've created using a picture of my son and I.  Lately I have not been doing as much journaling on my layouts, but this layout is all about my journaling and I took a creative initiative with how I wrote the journaling partly on my designer paper and then popped some of it up on a journal die cut.  I really love the way this turned out, and the journaling is more like a letter to my son that I think he will enjoy re-reading when he gets older.  So without further adieu I present to you My Challenge...

I am also linking this up to the Clique Kits June Challenge: Anything Goes as well as the Simon Says Stamp: Anything Goes Challenge and in the Crafty Friends Challenge: This or That Butterflies or Birds

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

I have used a mixture of Studio Calico's Lemon Lush and Basic Grey's Highline Collections for this layout and I LOVE it!

Happy Crafting and Sunday to you!

Personal 2 Page Layout

I know that these two layouts don't exactly mesh in the scrapbooking world, but if you knew my Grandma you would understand just how perfect these two pages are... enjoy!

These pages were fun and basic, I didn't want to add too many elements because I wanted the actual pictures and words to make a bigger impact.

A neat little side note: where you see the envelope I have only used adhesive on the back of the envelope with the top part open so the actual graduation card she gave me is still inside and accessible!

Please feel free to leave any comments! And thanks for looking!
