Simple Sunday #6

Sometimes I just can't bare the thought of cutting up beautiful paper. I kept it simple here and didn't add a lot to it, I wanted to see the design on the paper! I did do some sewing on it, but only because I already had it out from another project. I will share that one later! The sewing could easily be done with a faux stitching stamp though.
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. The time change always seems to effect my internal clock and it will take me some time to adjust to losing an hour.

Cardstock: Chocolate, White Daisy and My Minds Eye; Bohemia collection

Stamps: Dream Wishes

Inks: Chocolate

Misc.: CTMH Rubons, Clear stickles and machine sewing

Simple Sunday #5

It really is my own fault, I mean you probably shouldn't ask a nine year old what colors you should use! His favorite color is green, so imagine my shock when he said blue and orange!

My personal challenge of late is to use up the old before I break into the new. I am not much for stickers, but I seem to have a lot of them. So I pulled out my sticker box and found something Orange.

These pictures were taken last week when Jacob had the flu. I decided to keep him home "just one more day" from school just to be safe. Well, he drove me nuts!! He was fine and should have gone to school that day. I learned my lesson, lol.

Cardstock: SU and Imaginisce

Stamps: He said, She said and The works alphabet

Misc: Stickers, chipboard and the Coluzzle

Cardstock: CTMH Stardust, My Minds Eye, Outdoor Denim

Stamps: Argyle Background and Headline Alphabet

Inks: Versa Mark and Cranberry
Misc.: CTMH rubons, chipboard, white sticker brads and the title is heat embossed with clear powder

Simple Sunday #3

I have had this picture stored in my computer forever. My desktop actually gave me some warning before it crashed so I was able to save all of my pictures. I am a very lucky girl! This is one of my very favorite pictures of Jacob because it reminds me of that time when he was still a little boy. This is my take on Inspired Blueprints sketch #5.
This layout is simple in the fact of the cardstock and picture placement. I wanted to emphasize his big brown eyes so I painted the chipboard letters for the title in brown. My picture is 5x7, the Star cardstock is 4x11 and the Striped cardstock is 2 1/2x11.

Cardstock: Stars and Stripes by Basic Grey, Outdoor Denim and White Daisy

Misc: Making Memories Chocolate paint, Dimensional Elements alphabet letters, brads from my stash, ric rac is really old and waxy flax.

Simple Sunday #2

Seriously Simple, that's all I can say about this layout!!!! Everything used is CTMH unless stated otherwise. All it takes is a base page, 5x7 and 4x4 pictures, ribbon, flowers and brads. I really like this layout because it focuses on the pictures.

Cardstock: That's Amore and Chocolate

Misc: Big Pink Flowers, satin ribbon, white mini medley accents and white mini brads.

Simple Sunday #1

Here is the very first of the Simple Sunday Layouts!! I hope you like the idea of doing a "simple" and easy layout. Sometimes I forget that scrapbooking isn't brain surgery and I have a tendency to over think things. I really like the idea of getting back to the basics.

I had these pictures already printed and matted so I decided to just make them work. This is a prime example of me over thinking things. These pictures have been sitting around for months waiting for me to find just the right inspiration for them. It was a real challenge for me to keep this one simple. I still think it could use some kind of bling or something, but I am going to control myself!

The picture on the left side is 8x8 and matted on Cranberry Red cardstock and then matted on black cardstock that I scalloped and hole punched. The right side pictures are 4x4 and also matted on black cardstock. The border B&T paper is 11x7.

Cardstock: Creme Brulee, Cranberry Red, Black and Rock Star paper is by SandyLion.

Misc: Black Chipboard letters and the star was die cut with the Slice Basics cartridge.
