Apple Festival - Two Page Scrapbook Layout

 Fall is my favorite, as I'm sure I've mentioned before.🍎🍁🍂 Today, I'm sharing another fall layout from a few years back. This one is featuring pictures from the Kendallville Apple Festival. It was a beautiful day and I have such great memories from being together as a family. 

I am such a sucker for woodgrain paper. Most of the embellishments I used are from a fall stack of paper, including some stickers. I cut the title and swirl with my Cricut. Typically, I'm not a big fan of stickers, but they do make for a quick page that coordinates easily.

I loved the banner on one of the extra paper scraps, so I just cut it out the best I could and slapped it up in the corner. I'm still not sure that I'm a big fan of how it turned out. I added a few word banners which were also from the same fall paper pack.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Hope you have a productive and happy weekend. 

Sawyer turns 5! - Two Page Birthday Layout

Hooray! Today is our Grandson's 6th birthday! We are so excited to celebrate with him tonight, even though the celebration may not look like it has in the past. We will make sure he knows how amazing he is and how much we love him!! 😍😍😍

Here's another layout of his fifth birthday last year. I love the pennant paper and the perfect boy colors in this layout. 

 He's a very lucky little man to have so much family around to love on him! We had such a great time celebrating 5 years and all of the energy that comes with that. Our grands help us feel more young at heart and see things through their eyes. What a gift!

The paper is Photo Play's "Birthday Boy". I was so torn between which side of the paper to use? Do you ever feel like that? The other side had an aqua background with presents and cupcakes. I decided to go with this side because of the white background which allowed me to use the teal cloud paper.😍 I also used BoBuny's "Lemonade Stand" and "Mango/Luau Lime". I used my Cricut to cut the green scallops, scalloped circle and the title. I cut out their cute puppy (Archie) and propped him in the corner of the pictures, just because he's so handsome!

Thanks for stopping by today! I have lots more layouts lined up to share in April...a few more birthdays and Easter. And...I hope you are all super impressed that I'm less than a year behind on my scrap-booking. If I was completely current, I wouldn't have anything to work on, and I don't even want to know what that would be like. 😟

Stop back soon! In the meantime, stay at home and be safe. We'll get through this together.

Daddy's Little Girl - Two Page Wedding Layout

Here's a layout of my beautiful daughter-in-love's "sneak peak". She wanted to let her Dad be the first to see her in her dress before the ceremony. It was a very sweet moment for the two of them. I love these photos. She has a very close relationship with her Daddy. What a blessing for both of them!

 The left piece of paper is flipped over purposely so the flowers would come down from the top to help frame the photos. I cut out the 3 flowers (bottom left) from another piece of paper in order to have them in both bottom corners as well as the top.  I lined up the pictures in grid format, and used a scalloped border punch around the bottom edge. That's it! Pretty simple.

 I cut the title with one of the fonts in Design Space after kerning the letters so they touched and welding each word so that it cut as one word. It's definitely worth the effort.

Hope you like the layout! It's been fun sharing their wedding layouts with you! Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Next up with bee the family pics taken before the service.

Rescue Bots - Birthday Banner

My daughter-in-love asked me to help with my grandson's birthday party by making a banner. The theme was Rescue Bots!! He lives and breathes Rescue Bots! 

 I found the images on Pinterest and printed 2 copies each on white cardstock.

 Then came the laborious task of cutting around the outside of each character. Then I cut another layer of whichever body part I wanted to accentuate. Above I popped cut a second layer of the character's right arm, head and chest. I used foam dimensionals to pop them out.

 I cut Happy 5th Birthday out with my Cricut and large letters to spell out his name.

 The banner pieces were also cut with my Cricut and I layered the white on the larger black piece. The Cricut image also cut the holes at the top for the string.

My grandson was pretty ecstatic about it!! It's now hanging in his bedroom (minus the first Happy Birthday piece). It was a labor of love, but I had a great time doing it, and love how it turned out. The smile on his face, was priceless.

 I also created a banner a few weeks later for my sweet granddaughter with L.O.L. Dolls! Oh my goodness! It's so cute! I will be posting it some time soon.
