"Music Lover" layout

Are you ready for your weekend? I most definitely am!

Today I'd like to share a layout that I created for my son's album. I've mentioned previously that he had to go to a new school this year, as a senior. It's actually worked out quite well for him. He and his friends from his old school planned a chapel service for his new school. It was a great opportunity for some fun shots of him with his old friends. The've performed together qiute often, so it was almost like old times!

Here's the left side. The paper was all from my stash of scraps, except the base which is Basic Grey charts and graph stack. The title was cut as one piece with "Quarter Note" Cricut cartridge, along with the flourish.

I used Fiskars notebook border punch along the sheet music paper at the bottom. Both layers of the heart were cut freehand, as well as the little tiny heart, then I tucked them behind the title. I pumped it up a little with foam adhesive. 

Here's the right side of my layout showing the kids hamming it up for the camera afterward. FYI...both my boys participated. My oldest married son, Joel, is in the bottom right corner of the group, and my youngest son, Jacob, who is the senior this year, is in the upper left corner of the group shots.

Here's a close-up of the guitar and the little musical notes, also from "Quarter Note" cartridge. Love!!

The interesting thing about this layout is that I thought it was done prior to putting on all of the little musical notes. It just seemed like it was missing something until I added them several days later.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Have a lovely weekend and enjoy your family!

More cards!

Happy Mother's Day to all of you lovely ladies whose favorite name is "Mom". Actually my guys call me "Mama" even though they are all grown up now.

I've been on a bit of a card streak lately. For those of you who know me, I'm more of a scrapper than I am a card maker. I really enjoyed making all 3 of these and they didn't take me too long.

The first one is the card I made for my Mom for Mother's Day. I hope that she will enjoy all the bling. The butterfly was cut with the Indie cartridge (Cricut). The paper is KC Company.


This one was going to be a bridal shower card, but I believe it will end up being a wedding card....Long story...LOL. All I need to do is change the inside. I used the leftover pieces of paper from the card above. The bracket mat is cut with Sweethearts cart (Cricut). I sliced it (off center) then flipped the cut edges to the outside of the card so the bracket edges point towards each other. Make sense? From there, I just added flowers and other fun stuff. The stamps are StampinUp! "Bliss".



This last card is a birthday card for my husband's brother who rocks at guitar. This card came together so fast!!! The guitar and flourish is cut with Quarter Note cart (Cricut). I just happened to have a small piece left from a sheet of wood I've used on scrapbook layouts. It was the perfect size for this guitar!!! Actually everything came from my scrap box...love that! I also LOVE how the wood looks with the Ranger glossy accents painted on it. I let it dry over night. The sentiment stamp, is also StampinUp!

Thanks for stopping by! See you next week. Enjoy your day!
