Put the Apron On!

It's not an April Fool's Joke Apron Strings - my favorite kit club - has a new site! Check out all the fabulousness here!

Speaking of Apron Strings I wanted to share with you a layout using just one of the three lines in the kit. The lines in the kit are Authentique Sprin , Echo Park All About Boy, and American Crafts Soho.

The American Crafts Soho line has patterned paper on one side of its bar code strip. I like getting those little bonuses of fun paper to use for mats, borders, etc. On my "The Plces We Go" layout I used them as borders around my large banner pieces.
I cut them in half and placed them just on the edge of my large banner pieces. Alot of layering look for not alot of paper! 

 

 

The Places We Go

New Year, New Sketch

Welcome to 2012! Where did 2011 go? I am not sure but I am ready for fresh new starts and beginnings of great things! The first new thing I would like to share is a brand new sketch and my layout I created with it!

The new sketch is from My Sketch World. I loved the sketch and changed a few things - like two pictures instead of one and the square behind the photo - mine is a circle!

Here is the sketch -

And the layout of my stunning beautiful daughter. Priscilla's birthday was a spa day and my best friend Christian was in charge of hair and make up. She did a spectacular job! Almost too spectacular - it was hard to see Priscilla look so grown up. My wish is for my girls to stay little for ever but we all know that doesn't happen.

Grow Up So Fast

Four I am Thankful!

So while the kids were off from school, and we were not going anywhere I scrapped! It was wonderful! I had made worksheets and crafts for Amory to do ahead of time so she sat at her little desk at my elbow and created and learned away. Priscilla was happy with playing on the computer, reading a book, and laying around. A very low maintenance kid! So now I want to share!

This first layout is about that younger more high maintenance kid - she is bit wacky too! So I wanted to take a shower so I stuck Amory in my bed with her Little Ponies video which means I have exactly 32 minutes to get completely ready before the video ends. This was the day the video stopped working as a babysitter. I came out of the shower to find her GONE! A deep breath and then the yell AMORY. A little "I am in the kitchen". I walk over to the kitchen wrapped in a towel and find her "making dinner" in my bra. The only thing that really bothered me is that she knew to stuff it. Another deep breath ...

I used a sketch and papers from Lily Bee.

I added a picture of Amory in her chef hat. This was actually mine from college but she has adopted and uses everytime she helps me cook.

Training Camp

The next layout is of Amory too. Just two more silly photos that I could not pass up scrapping! I used a sketch from Pretty Little Studio. The clouds flashcard that the title is situated on is from Pretty Little Studio too - love those dern flashcards!

Your Laughter Makes The Clouds Go Away!

The next layout is of Amory's preschool graduation. A very happy day with alot of tears. My baby is growing up! I used Sketch #180 from Creative Scrappers to create my layout.

Preschool Graduation

Last but not least is a layout with pictures from our trip to Bayou Wildlife. It is a wildlife park where we load up in a tram to feed animals. Amory does not like any of it except for the zebras at the end. She endures it all just for a glimpse of the zebra! Thank you zebra for making her so happy!I used an inspiration challenge from Paper Variety (I used the colors as my inspiration and I included leaves on my project) and Sketch #181 from Creative Scrappers for this layout.

And the journey ends with Zebra

Thank you for stopping by and have a blessed day!
