Spring Banner

Sorry it took me so long to get this posted, I have been really sick. This is this month's workshop, Spring Banner. The first picture is of the whole banner on my outside bench. The second 2 are some close ups of individual letters. This fits right in with my Easter decorations, but can be left up all season.

Supplies (all CTMH): Sweet Harmony paper pack, Friendship alpha, Wonderful Charms stamp set, Doodle Alphabet, Hydrangea Exclusive Inks, Black Exclusive Inks, Crystal Blue Exclusive Inks, Blush Exclusive Inks, Sweet Leaf Exclusive Inks, CTMH markers, Brads, Spring Iris Grosgrain Ribbon.

Spectacular Spreads

This is the layout that will be featured in my "Spectacular Spreads" class. I am definitely feeling the need for spring and really wanted to scrap these pictures. These pictures are Callie's first real feel of the grass. She pulled up her feet and hands and was going to do anything not to touch that grass! I love the little things, the everyday moments with my kiddos!

Supplies (all CTMH unless otherwise noted) : Let's Get Together paper pack, Building Blocks stamp set, Card Commentary stamp set, Breeze Exclusive Inks, Cranberry Exclusive Inks, Cranberry My Accents, Heavenly Blue organdy ribbon, Flowers (Prima), Rhinestones (doodlebug) and Quote Transparency (Daisy D's).
Layout is "Timeline" from Imagine (CTMH).

One of my favorites

This layout is one of my favorites for many reasons. I very rarely do single page layouts and that is something that I have challenged myself to do. There also are not very many pictures taken of me and my wonderful hubby taken together. Another reason is that I really liked using the different shaped paper. It makes me think outside of the box, that is for sure!

Another Circle Journal Layout

Here is another addition to the circle journal family. This page was made for Lori's album. Her theme was "When I was 20 I wish I knew". This was a fun one. Wouldn't life have been sooooo easy had you known all the things you know now when you were 20?!

Recipe Book

I am participating in a circle journal group (so fun!) and finally remembered to take a picture of one that I completed. This one is from Amy and hers is a "Just Desserts" recipe book.

This one was really fun doing because her album is an acrylic album, the first one like it in our group. It was nice to get to try something new and I love the colors and papers she chose as her theme. I just may have to copy this the next go round! :)
