Cute pictures take a while to scrap

In addition to my paper hoarding, which is now common knowledge... I am a picture hoarder as well. I know that you are wondering, "where does it end, woman?!" It is just so hard when you see super cute photos! Alright, I will own it, it is just so hard for ME when I have super cute photos. I have to wait for the right, super cute paper and the right, super cute embellishments.

This layout is part of that serendipitous experience. I have super cute pictures of my niece at the local science museum. I have some super cute paper from my Apron Strings kit. More of the Imaginisce Animal Crackers. And I have some super cute star beads and flowers.

The colors do not show that well, but trust me, in person, this layout is a blast. It helps that Gillian is such a cute subject! Apron Strings does it again.

Scrapping again

I am working on a lot of pictures that have been sitting around for awhile. These are some of my favorite pictures. This is Gillian helping me make pizza dough. She is a riot. She put on her Disney Princess apron, rolled up her sleeves and informed me that, "ingredients are very important, Aunt Jana."

This is some scrap paper that I have been holding onto. Not sure I am convinced I like the way it wound up, but I can live with it. The sketch came from Sketchy Thursdays. Thanks to them for the fabulous inspiration.

One page down...

Sketchy Thursdays does it again. Thanks to their inspiration, I am able to complete another page. This one highlights the relationship between my grandmother and my niece. Gillian holds Nana in the palm of her hand. Of course, Nana has Gillian's number too. I cannot get over how much fun it is to see Gilly with her great-grandmother.

Of course, this layout would not be complete with the help of my January Smaller than a Breadbox Apron Strings kit. Love Apron Strings! This kit was about Crate Paper's Snow Day collection. Thank goodness for double-sided paper! Makes the crafting a whole lot easier.

Another good day at the crafting table!

Scrapbook Challenge 2

Next on the scrap agenda, is focusing on one photo. The recommendation is to make it black and white and emphasize that with colorful papers. I had this great photo of my father in law and my niece walking in color. I wanted to emphasize this photo with the colors, because it looks so much fun to see Dina's pink crocs! So here is me focused on one great photo about one great walk.

The papers, embellishments and letters all come from a fun page kit by colorbok I picked up at a garage sale. You would think I have enough in my own stash... but passing up fun paper is too challenging for me.
