Hi everyone! It's August!!! Time for reflections of summer and gearing up for back-to-school time. This reminded me of my daughter's end of the year party she had in May. For the end of her first grade year, her teacher hosted a party at her family's ranch. The kids and their families came and rode horses, had a pot luck and ate s'mores. It was so much fun! I wanted to be sure I documented this quickly. Check out the video to see my thoughts and process!
Supplies:
Patterned Paper: Echo Park, Crate Paper, Webster's Pages, cardstock
Thickers: Printshop
Stickers: Crate Paper Notes & Things

Thanks so much for joining me today. I hope I helped spark some ideas for summer and school layouts to make your own! Have a great week!
Hello everyone and welcome to my July DT layout!! Today I have a patriotic layout for you in keeping with our theme this month. But, I am from Canada so it's all about the maple leaf and the red and white here. July 1st is Canada Day and it also happens to be my youngest son's birthday. So I knew I had the perfect photo to scrap in keeping with this theme. His first birthday!
Yes, this photo is from 2005 and I have never scrapped in our family album before. I did up a first year book but our family albums from 2003-2007 are pretty sparse. As I was very busy with 2 boys under the age of 5 at the time. So I am thrilled to get this scrapped.
I used my Silhouette to cut out this giant maple leaf and then kept the layout predominantly red and white with some touches of navy and gold. I hope you enjoy. See my process video below.
Supply List:
Cardstock: American Crafts.
Patterned paper: Webster's Pages and Carta Bella.

Hello everyone! When my son had came
to me and told me that he was ready to join the military, I was shocked at
first.I asked him why and he said
because he wanted to serve his country.So naturally I went through asking a list of questions that he answered
and then I told him okay, if that is what you want to do then go ahead.Being a mother I also informed him of
some of the not so glorious times that he might experience and I said no matter what
happens remember what I have told you and what your father and I have taught
you, of course my husband was all happy with his decision.
In this photo is my
son and my daughter who thought it would be cool to pose with her brother in
his pre military training uniform (the army).He had to prepare for 4 months prior to going to basic
training.He did really well and I
was a proud mom for my son to be serving our country.
Do you have a member
of your family that is in the military?If so be proud and stand proud for them for serving our country.I am proud of my son and I always will be
for him serving our country. I hope you enjoy the video!

Hi everyone! Here is my layout for the month of June. I live on an island (albeit a very large one) and the part that I LOVE the most about that is having such easy access to the beach and the ocean at anytime I want. I find visiting the ocean to be the most relaxing and stress-relieving thing in the world and whenever life gets to me... that is where I go.
This photo is from earlier in the spring but the message is how we all love the beach and that the weather has now improved so we can go again. Don't get me wrong... we go year round here (and are grateful for that) but being able to go and be warm and not worry about layers is awesome. As is walking in the surf or day-dreaming on a log.
Here is my layout:
I wanted to keep this layout fairly simple although I will confess I had planned to use a heart stencil and modeling paste to add a few hearts or some texture behind my layers. Oh well! I did however want to tone down my background paper so I applied a fairly liberal coat of gesso to it (thus the curly edges, sorry!). I used a scraper to put it on and as it dries pretty quick I layered it on as I went just working from top corner to bottom corner and once I went back up to the top it was dry enough to add a bit more. I think I added it about 3 times to get to this level of opacity.
I also, as you can see in the video, used my very old Heidi Swapp distress tool on the edges of the top and bottom strips. I just didn't want them to be too flat.
Hello! Sarah here with your first layout for the month of April. For April, we decided to do a green layout inspired by Earth Day, or to use an Easter color pallet on our layouts. I have decided to go GREEN in celebration of Earth Day coming up this month. We are challenging you to use the color green on your layout or to use something recycled or upcycled on your layouts! I chose to use the color green and I gave my layout some earthtone colors. Please check out the video for my process!
