Silent Night - Two Page winter scrapbook layout

 Hello again! Yes, this is my second post this week. :) I'm on a roll.

These pictures were taken the evening of Christmas Day 2019. The back of our house looks so much better now. We now have beautiful Craftsman style posts with stone bases and some additional trim up in the peak. Much better than the crooked lumber holding it up in this photo.  The underside of the covered porch is still unfinished today (much to my dismay), but it will be finished some day!

I love the Kraft paper with Christmas wording, even though this was obviously NOT a white Christmas! I found the woodsy stick images including the title in Cricut Design Studio. It was all one image, but after cutting, I moved them around on my page to accent the photos.

I added a few strips of scrap Christmas paper and wrote out the journaling with my Cricut. I love that feature, since my handwriting is terrible....per everybody in the family, except my husband who has gotten pretty good at deciphering it after 37 years of marriage. 

Thanks for stopping by my blog. Hope you find some inspiration for a crafty weekend!

Two Page Scrapbook Layout - "Happy Life"

This is my oldest son's beautiful family! We are so proud of them!!

 My husband and I are blessed beyond belief with our family. Our hearts our full with our two boys and their beautiful families. They keep us busy, and they keep us young(er).

 I remember well the challenge of raising little ones. Wow...In fact this handsome man right here was my strong willed boy. I'm here to tell you, if you're raising a strong willed child, hang in there! It gets better. All of those characteristics that make them challenging to raise, will (with training) make them strong and confident, but also loving, sympathetic, loyal, and all around great human beings! And...this one keeps me laughing all the time too. He's had some rough patches, but he's still positive and quite entertaining to be around. The saying "behind every strong man is a stronger woman" definitely is true for these two.

Thank you Lord for these beautiful humans that make our hearts sing with joy!

Two page Scrpbook Layout - "Woodland Princess" take 2

Here is the second layout I made for my grand daughter's scrapbook. If you saw my layouts from yesterday, these are the same pics, but different paper. This one has a little more youthful look about it, but very similar.

 I like how the purple pops on this page, even with the busy patterned paper.

 And who doesn't love mini ball fringe? The scallop border punch adds another feminine element to the page. Having raised two boys (no girls of my own), I can't even express the joy in all things pink, scalloped, lacey, and flowery.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Have a wonderful scrappy week!

Two Page Scrapbook Layout - "All Boy"

What a beautiful sunny day! I hope you are enjoying your Easter weekend. I just finished cleaning my house and decided to take a few minutes to post a few layouts before heading out to fight the crowd at the grocery store.

This little guy is so darling! He's our little sweetheart and is growing way too fast! 

 

These pictures were taken by his talented Mommy when he was 6 months old. Now he's just about ready to celebrate 2 years of life!

The paper is We R Memory Keepers "Autumn Splendor" and Little Yellow Bicycle. The ribbon is from Paper Studio. The die cut "All Boy" title is from Cricut's Boys Will be Boys cartridge and the tree is Straight from the Nest cartridge. I used two different sized hole punches to cut out the tree. The twine is from Tim Holz and the wood mustache embellies from BoBunny.

Happy Easter!! Thanks for stopping by my blog today.
