Getting back into the swing

Managed to complete a layout that has been waiting for finishing touches. I love these pictures of Lucy with a duckling and I really wanted to ensure the photos remained the focus point once the layout was complete. To that end I was conscious of not overdoing it with embellishments but at the same time not leaving the pages too bland. The patterned papers are My Minds Eye, cardstock is Bazzill, flowers are Kaisercraft and some bits and pieces I found in the bottom of my flower jar!

Had a great deal of fun with this month's Scrapaholix kit. I wanted to make sure I used a lot of photos on my layouts as I am being inundated with photos these days, guess that's what happens when you have 2 beautiful children. LOL! I love the effect of the Ranger Liquid Pearls on the My Mind's Eye papers and I had fun playing with different effects using Coredinations paper. I crumpled and sanded the cardstock to add dimension. I also completed a third layout with the kit but as yet I haven't decided on a title for it.

Titles are cut with the Cricut using SCAL

Not a Valentine

I managed to get a bit of creating done today. With tomorrow being Feb 14 it would be easy to claim this as a Valentine's card but we don't really do Valentine's Day and it really is just coincidence that I have been playing around with a heart. I plan to have this as one of my make and take projects at February and March Scrapping Away events.



The hearts were all cut using the Cricut and SCAL The paper is My Mind's Eye Wild Asparagus "darling" polka dot/brown
