Baby Love - August 2008
I used the "Sunkissed" theme from the August 2010 Storytellers Club ultimate kit. The blue and yellow cardstock was cut from Bazzill textured cardstock in the kit. The teal rhinestones were included in the July 2010 kit. The decorative trims were cut with a Fiskars Shape Cutter template and a Fiskars border punch. The flowers were included in the kit. The glittered, scalloped chipboard circle at the bottom is a Pebbles Chip from the white collection. The title letters are Thickers by American Crafts that came in brown craft paper color, and I colored them orange with a Slick Writer marker by American Crafts. I used a PageMaps sketch by Becky Fleck. I think this is my favorite layout that I've ever done! The paper was gorgeous to begin with, but the sketch from PageMaps really brought it all together and gave it balance.

Hayride - May 2008
I did this layout for a contest called "ad inspiration" at Storytellers Club. The part I loved about the ad was the focal photo with uneven rows of smaller accent photos underneath, so that was the design element I used here. The patterned paper is called "Animals" by Karen Foster Design. I used some miscellaneous hay patterned paper that a friend gave me for the title letters, which I cut with my Craft Robo. I cut the black outline for the letters with my Craft Robo, also. I printed the strawberries from Google Images. I used a Fiskars Shape Cutter and rounded square template to trim the photos.
First Cereal - May 2008
I used a Colorbok Dimensional Layout page from the "bubblegum" theme pack. The layers of paper were pre-stitched together with the ric rac on there, as well. The foam title letters came from Joann Fabrics & Crafts in the kids section. The baby themed fabric embellishments are Jolee's. The "YUM" lettering is fabric Thickers by American Crafts.

Spirit of Norfolk - March 2008
Feeling Carefree - April 2008
First Smile - March 2008
I had fun finding clipart images on Google to match the animals on the Boppy pillow in the photos. I thought it added a nice touch of coordination! Unfortunately, after all my hard work of cutting them out by hand, I accidentally dropped an ink pad on the right side of the layout when I was putting my supplies away, thus the blue smudges. Darn! I used lots of rub-on sentiments and Prima flowers, too.
Moments with Mom & Dad - March 2008
I used the "Family" theme from the April 2010 Storytellers Club Ultimate Kit. I like how the flowers on the paper naturally lent themselves to using little pictures as flower centers. I cut the letters from Bazzill cardstock with a lettering template and a Fiskars Shape Cutter.
Silly Faces - March 2008
I used the "Whimsey" theme from the February 2010 Storytellers Club Ultimate Kit for this layout. I just love the paper...the colors blended perfectly with the outfit Holden was wearing. I added a vellum quote by Colorbok, and I trimmed one of the diecuts so the birdie's legs would dangle.

American Indian Pow-Wow - April 2008
First Smile - February 2008
All of the patterned papers, cardstock, stickers, alphas, and die cuts, and tag came from a Heidi Grace Pocket Scraps kit called "Inspire Me." I only added a vellum quote from the Colorbok "baby boy" quote stack, and a misc. blue brad. I based the layout on a sketch by Pages by Design.

You Are My Sunshine - February 2008
I used the "You Are My Sunshine" theme from the August 2009 Storytellers Club ultimate kit for this layout. I put pop dots on some small flower die cuts and used them as flower centers to accent the background paper. I added layered flowers from Prima with a brad center, and I hand-pieced a bumblebee with vellum wings and secured it with a pop dot. I wrote in the date with a black Slick Writer marker from American Crafts. I made the black photo mat from construction paper.
Sweet Dreams - February 2008
I used the "My Favorite Things" theme from the March 2008 Storytellers Club ultimate kit for this layout. The metal tab and eyelets from 7 Gypsies were also included in the kit, along with the blue textured Bazzill cardstock. I trimmed one blue strip with the deckle blade for my Cutterpede, and the other blue strip with my Fiskars "Treading Water" border punch. I used a template from Pages By Design for the title mat, and I cut the title with my Craft Robo. I used a Precision Pen by American Crafts for the journaling. I based the layout on a sketch that I think I printed from the Creating Keepsakes website a long time ago. I used a printable paper piecing pattern from the Scrapbooks, Etc. website for the tree trunk, and I hand cut the tree trunk from recycled cardboard that was in a home mailer. I used miscellaneous scrap paper for the tree and the title mat.
I made this layout for the Earth Day 2010 contest at the Storytellers Club website.

I use a Slick Writer marker for the title, date, and journaling, and a Metallic marker for the slogan across the bottom of the blue mat.

Again? - January 2008
I used the "Spring Fever" theme from the April 2009 Storytellers Club ultimate kit. I matted the two main photos with the included textured Bazzill cardstock. I added Thickers for the title letters. I didn't have a black question mark left, so I used a brown one and colored it with a black slick writer marker. I also added a layered flower made from a combination of a yellow polka-dotted Petaloo Dahlia Box Blends flower and two Prima flowers with a yellow flower brad center.
Lazy Days
I used the "Lazy Days" theme from the January 2008 Storytellers Club ultimate kit. I accidentally tore the title die cut when I was punching it out, and so I covered the boo-boo with a strip of ribbon that was also in the kit! It ended up working out okay!
Thursday, April 1, 2010
