I DO remember how to Scrapbook :)

This is a Joshua layout - from an event last week :)
The paper is from Storytellers, the jouranling block, title strip, photo mat and alphabet stickers are all CM. The brad is from Joanns and the tag from walmart :)

I should've made a title for this and called it ROCKET MAN but I didn't think of that until I was downloading the pictures of the layout :) Another Nathaniel layout - from a week or two ago and a school project to build a rocket out of recyclables (they took them in to school).  The journaling block is CM, the paper is Bazzil? and the photo mats are CM.



I think I did most of this in July when I scrapbooked on my birthday - I found it all finished except for journaling in a paper storage container today when I was looking for some other paper...the textured CS is from Mrs. Grossman's I think - came with some free samples or something back in 2004 or 2005. The red CS is Bazzill, the title stickers are ones I've had since 2003 or 2004. The journaling block is from CM. This is one for Nathaniel's baby book...he was 6 days old.

Storytellers Club is doing their LayOut A Day challenge for February again (love when they do this!) and I'm finally getting a chance to scrapbook. This was for the challenge due today - a seasonal layout about any season but winter ;)
Grace swimming at Uncle Terry & Aunt Theresa's last July.
The paper is from Storytellers from several years ago, the stickers are from a prize I won during MSD about 5 years ago (maybe 6), the pink CS is from a big pack from Costco from at least 5 years ago.
So yep, all the supplies are older than Grace :)

Another LOAD challenge - this was for yesterday's - use punches (leaf punch on photo on upper left - and punched out leaves added to diecut on bottom right, and circle punch used for circles on the Brothers and Sibling Love photos)
Nathaniel at the pumpkin patch - October 2011.  This layout was awesome - I'd started it (mats cut, journaling block done, photos and paper all together!!) I don't know how long ago and it got put in a paper storage box and when I went to find some other paper yesterday I found this just needing some glue dots and ink (and I traded out two of the mats because they were just too dark).  Most of the supplies in this layout are older than Nathaniel...the background paper is from a DCWV stack that I bought when I first started scrapbooking in 2003...same with the Autumn diecut. The journaling block is from CM, I believe.



ST Fall Cyber Crop LO (plus a new hat)

This was for the Graveyard Grunge challenge at storytellers club. We had to distress at least 75% of the elements of the LO. So I tore, "sanded" (used an emery board on the edges of all the photos), and inked everything.
The patterned paper is Recollections, the orange cardstock is SEI and the green is Bazzill. The cuttlebug folder I used on the photo mat was from the Give a Hoot Cricut Companion Collection. The alphabet stamps I've had for eons and can't remember where I got them, staples are just staples and I used a green Creative Memories pen for the journaling.
SO happy - this is the first layout I've done since late July!!

 



This was my 4th and final Frankenstein hat!!  This went to Utah for my nephew - his mom's request is what got me started on these to begin with.
I've done three sizes and ended up writing my own pattern based on one I found on pinterest to get the original 3/6 month size hat to fit 6 & 10 year old heads (because once he found out I was making them for his 6 yo brother and  6 yo cousin, my 10 yo wanted one too...and ended up with the first one because it was two big for the younger boys).
I'll post pictures of the other ones later.



Another hat and a couple of layouts

 

I made this hat to go with a sweater my grandma knit for Grace for her birthday. I loved the colors...and I have fabric to make a dress for her that has flecks of of orange in it and will be nice and fallish with this hat and the sweater.

I knew what kind of hat I wanted to go with the sweater, but I had to find a pattern...preferably a free one. I finally found this one on Pinterest. The bow didn't work with what I had in mind, I wanted a pom pom on top (I think I'm going to go back and make a little bigger one though). I ended up making two...i thought this one was just too big for Grace, but the smaller one I made was too small. I looked at the original picture again and saw that it is really designed to pull down over the ears...tried it again and it's a little big, but it works :)

This was a really fun pattern - I love when I learn new stitches or something (I learned how to do two hdc together to decrease and a popcorn stitch...fun!)

The yarn is actually from my great grandmother's stash that my grandma has...old Dazzleaire - soft and fuzzy and fun!

 

These two layouts are for Nathaniel's baby book. I did them in July, but just finally had a chance to get out my Cricut and alphabet stickers and finish them up with titles.

The BROTHER'S KEEPER layout used bazzil CS, costco CS, the Zoo Day Cricut Cart. alphabet, CM journaling block & pen...and i can't remember the plaid paper -I've had it for ages.

DADDY'S BOY is done on some embossed brown CS (can't remember that either), some blue CM CS, the star punch is CM as are the little blue alphabet stickers (which I outlined in brown). The brown alpha stickers are Storyteller's Club.

The fiber is some I've had for awhile too...hopefully in the next week or so I'll get the other LOs I did in July finished up.
