School's Out!

Today I am featured at Let's Scrap!!!  I am a Design Team Member in this amazing online community!!

This week, our sketch challenge is a card sketch, but I don't make many cards.  I turned my project into a layout sketch:

Instead of the Quote - I added a photo.  

I take a ton of photos, but rarely printed them off.  I recently subscribed to Groove Book to print photos off of my phone.  For more information on the Groove Book App and a free first month coupon code, go HERE.  

I took this photo of Tanner and his First Grade teacher on the last day of school.  

I inked some bricks on my graph paper and layered it under some cork paper from DCWV.  I adhered a wood piece from Um Wow. 

I added First Grade from the Silhouette Online Store, some ribbon and washi tape. 

I put my title where the Sentiment on the sketch was - I keep singing the song School's Out for Summer!!!

I found this report card journal tag from my stash and wrote a few details on it.

I really like this layout and can now finish out Tanner's first grade year in his album!!

Love These 2!

Are you Love Struck by someone that you never thought would enter your life, you boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, son or daughter? Maybe even your pet!

Well here we are again for another Krazy Crafting Crew blog hop, Lissa Marie at "So Many Crafts, So Little time" will be your host today if you would like to start there, but since you are here... let's have some fun!

If you have never hopped before it is fun and inspiring, grab your favorite drink and stay awhile for these inspirational valentine projects that are linked one after another. Lissa Marie has provided a layout sketch and a card sketch for the team to go with, and have them show you their take on how they will interprate this piece of art. We only have to do one or the other. Stick around for the blog candy that Lissa is giving away for those who have hopped by. Here is the sketches courtousy to Google on the layout and a sketch Lissa reinterpretated the scraplift from card she saw on Google.. oh yes, she is a scraplifter!

For this hop, I chose the scrapbook layout sketch to create my project:

I recently printed off some pictures from my cell phone using the Groovebook app.  For $2.99 a month, you get 100 4x6 photos printed, bound and shipped.

You pick the pictures and each photo is perforated for easy removal.  If you want to try one month free, just use code APGAR7.

The photo I used is from August 2012 and was stuck on my phone!

This is my youngest son and my youngest niece - they are 6 weeks apart.  I have all boys, and my brothers have all girls.  I take tons of photos of these two so someday I can create an album of them for their high school graduation parties!!

I cut the notebook paper and title from on my cameo.  I wanted to include the word "love" but not in the romantic way.

I found these circle images and heart banners in the Silhouette online store.  I used a font on my computer along with the offset feature to create the shadow layer.

I pop-dotted the word cousins and the heart circle for dimension.

I love the blue with the pink and red!  This was a fun layout to make!!
