We Are Family

Todays layout is one I did a few months ago when I was working through Shimelle's Pretty paper class. It's very unusual for me to do just a one page layout and even more uncommon to use only one photo which this layout is. 

I do like it though and I'm finding I do have those occasions where there is only one photo that I want to scrap to tell a story. My church has had a photo booth set up for Mother's Day for a few years now and I love it because this is about the only time we have a family photo and they are precious and dear to me like this one.

I used paper from one of Shimelle's monthly kits and then some miscellaneous supplies I had in my stash.

I hope you enjoy and be sure to check out this months Close To My Heart specials. It's a double dip month!

Summer Mini Album with Cricut Artbooking

Summer Mini Album

with CTMH Cricut Artbooking

As soon as I saw Artbooking and this particular album I knew I wanted to scrap our photos of Daytona Beach where we spent a beautiful morning before heading to the WDW resort for the CTMH convention.

It could not have been simpler or quicker to make. With Artbooking you set the dial size and everything matches up. All the overlays, embellishments, and photo mats. I didn't do any preplanning before creating this. I chose the Surf's Up paper pack and just started cutting all the elements for this album with just the two keys. I adhered all the overlays and pieces that need to go on first.
I had a stack of photos waiting so then I just matted some and started putting them on the pages. I did go back and choose a few extra embellishments and titles from other keys and cut to further embellish my album.
Within a matter of a few hours I had a complete album ready for my family to enjoy and reminisce about all the fun we had that morning.

Cover

First two pages

Pages 3 & 4

Pages 5&6

Pages 7&8

Pages 9&10

Pages 11&12

 I also used a few of the stickease from Surf's Up. Isn't this little VW van the cutest?

Disney Castle View

Magic Kingdom is my favorite park to visit and I love walking into Main Street and getting that first full view of the castle. There's nothing like it.

In 2006 the castle was all decked out in gold trim and looking extra magical for the Year of a Million Dreams. They had a mural of each of the castles in every Disney park on display at the top. It would flip and change  to see all of them. This is just four of the castles. It was stunning!

My Scraps & More

It's not often you find a store that has everything, great products, even better discounts, and the best customer service but that is exactly what you'll find with My Scraps & More. I've ordered several times and have always been pleased with how fast the turnaround is and the care that my product is packaged up. 

Recently they had a blog hop that I was blessed to win a giveaway from. My prize was shipped just as quickly and with as much care. Here's a peek at the goodies that I received. I'm in love with this paper line! I can't wait to create with it. The chalkboard cut aparts are too fun!!

Be sure to also check out their blog and their sketch blog for inspiration.

Scrapbook Generation Blog Hop

Welcome to the SG Blog Hop for September, if this is your first stop, you might like to start at the Scrapbook Generation blog and then hop through each link.

This is another layout I created from Allison's 6x6 class. I switched it up quite a bit but the elements are basically the same.

I cut gears from the CTMH Cricut Artiste Collection in various sizes and paper then just scattered them around the layout. I cut the gear border then adhered some alphas that I've had in my stash for years as well as some screw brads. I think it was the perfect touch for these photos.

A few buttons and metal swirls from my stash and I was ready to call it finished.

I hope you enjoyed my layout and the hop today. If you're not already a follower  of my blog I'd love to have you for one.

You can find the SG sketches in their books and as downloads in the SG store, and there is a free one every month in case you wanted to try it out.
