two page scrapbook layout - "Silly Smiles"

Here's a fun layout with my two grandbabies! They are so much fun! Being a Grandma is the best thing ever. I'm so blessed that they are here in town and we get to see them often.

 Selfies are always a challenge with these two, but I think we nailed some fun shots, inspite of my lame camera phone.

 This little cluster of hearts was cut from Cricut's Edge to Edge cartridge. I used the inside part of the hearts and spread them across the page and added some heart brads.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a productive and relaxing weekend!

Two Page Scrapbook Layout - "I Left My Heart in San Francisco"

Our last views of San Francisco were the mighty Golden Gate bridge. This time we viewed it from Bakers Beach and Fort Point.

 What a fun and beautiful destination!!! I hope we will be back some day.

 The paper is "Trend Setter" from Fancy Pants along with the button and banners. The title font is Lyrical Letters.

I will probably throw in some miscellaneous family posts before I continue with our California Dreamin' vacation album. Hope you will stop back to see the rest of our trip down the Pacific Coast Highway, the Sequoias, Hollywood, and San Diego.

Double layout - "Ropes"

My favorite time of year seems to be slipping away too quickly! Brrrr! Praying for the East Coast and everybody inland who is dealing with or preparing for "Frankenstorm". That's one serious looking storm on the radar.

Earlier this year we attended a birthday party for a friend of the family. The shindig was at a youth center and they had a fabulous ropes course, up in the rafters of the gymnasium. Crazyness! Not for me, but my son had a ball. Of course, it did make for some great pictures.

Once again, I had a lot of pictures, so placing them in a grid worked the best. The lined graph cardstock helped emphasize all of the horizontals in the pictures. A couple of different border punches on strips of paper help to draw the eye across the two pages.

That's his worried Mama looking up, praying he won't fall. =) The little bungee cords made out of braided hemp didn't photograph very well. When the paper lays flat, as it will inside the plastic sleeve, it looks way better.

I happened to have the hand paperclips on-hand (lol...coudn't resist) in my stash. I used a couple new stamps from SU on Kraft paper inked with black around the edges and a handmade Kraft flower for embellishments. I journalled right on the cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by! Take care and be safe out there in your corner of the world.

Blessings!
