Make a Splash!

I am so excited to be the Guest Designer over at SOUS this week!  Thanks so much ladies for letting me play along.  This week there was no sketch just a summer theme with bright fun colors.  I had so much fun making this layout.  I loved the paper as soon as I saw it!  The pictures are great because they are of 3 of my favorite boys, my two and my nephew!  And...I totally couldn't resist putting the picture of my little guy with soggy bum and shorts falling down. There are lots of small details that I put in.  Thanks for looking and hope you are all enjoying your summer!

Tulle to try and make it look like the frothy bubbly whites of the water and these splashes are cut out from one of the papers!

Art glitter on the "a" to make it stand out!

There are skittles and diamond glaze to try and make it look like there are water droplets on the spatters!

I used the tulle to try and make it look like the white water bubbles/froth of water

Make the Cut for the water drops and splatters.  I drew the water drops in inkscape myself, my first attempt at drawing something (basic I know) but I am pretty happy with how they turned out!

Oh Canada!

I am so glad I got this layout done!  I have been away camping with my family and visiting and celebrating my little guys first birthday which also means going back to work this week!  I missed out on the sketch over at SOUS so decided to combine the sketch, the theme of red, white and blue as well as this weeks challenge of stars and stripes.  These pictures are of my youngest on Canada Day! Thanks for looking!

Wild About You!

This is my take on April 30th's SOUS.  The sketch is from page maps!

I know it seems like I only scrapping my youngest...which is true but only because I am trying to keep up with his first year before I have to go back to work!  These are his 7 month pictures.  As soon as I saw the sketch I knew what I was going to do...use my new Create-A-Critter cartridge!  I love this new cart.  Thanks for looking!

Easter 2010 -SOUS-

I loved this sketch that was chosen by the DT of SOUS this week!

 I know it's not as exciting to see the layouts without pictures but I wanted to get my Easter layouts for the boys albums done ahead of time.  I'm getting ready to have a bunch of company so glad that this one got done ahead of time! I love the muted colors of the paper, reminds me of spring which right now is great since we are still getting snow..crazy weather! If you'd like the SVG file for the bunny holding the easter egg, leave me a comment!
