AnyTime, AnyWhere Scrapbook Experience, Week 3

Tiare has done it again!  She is pushing us (in a loving manner) to do more layouts and do it efficiently.  


This is week #3 of the AASE.   The sketch layout for this week is below:

  

This week's photo feature my Little Man at a friend's birthday party.  The party was held at a local Burger King and he was really digging the BK crown.  My personal challenge continues to be to use materials from my stash.  I've had this background paper for forever and a day.  I don't remember the name of the manufacturer.  I've also had the star brads forever.  I was on a brad buying spree awhile ago.  It's nice to be able to do layouts and do them quickly (but nicely).  I appreciate the AASE.

Although it wasn't his birthday, I choose to do this layout of my son at a birthday party.  This was his first play date at a birthday party.  He had fun playing with the other kids and he loved the sliding board.
Typically, I shy away from busy printed paper but with the AASE sketch Tiare provided, the two 8x10 sheets helped to calm the busy-ness of the paper.  I used a Martha Stewart punch to create the present border on top of the page.

AnyTime, AnyWhere Scrapbook Experience

Tiare Smith is such a great inspiration!  Not only is she the founder of the Scraps of Color site, she has accomplished so much in her personal efforts and continues to give back to the creative community.

Over at iclassygirl.com, Tiare is hosting the AnyTime, AnyWhere Sketch challenge.  This isn't just about sketches, she challenges us to get organized, taught us how to make page kits and each Monday, Tiare posts a new sketch for us to try.  This is week two and it's been fantastic!

Most of my scrapbook layouts are of my family.  I can't think of any better subjects!!  Thanks for checking out my creations!

This is Week #1 Sketch Layout

This is my creation based off of the sketch.  

I always do two page layouts, but the first page using the sketch pattern.

I altered the sketch by including an additional photo.

I also challenged myself NOT to use my Cricut which is typically my "go to" tool.  

This is one of my first times using stamps on a layout. 

The circle spots were created using my Creative Memories Shape Makers.

This is the 2nd page of my layout.

 This is Week #2 Sketch Layout

 This is my creation based off of the Week #2 Sketch.

The photos are me, my son and my Mother at Kraynak's Christmas Tree Lane.

Although it was October, the place was decked out for the holidays.

It is seldom that we get out for an afternoon of fun so this was a good time by all.

The paper is by Cloud 9 Designs.

The embellishments are by Jolee's and Darice.

Journaling is by me!  :)
