Boys Will Be Boys Scrapbook Layout

I wanted to pop in today to share this single page 12" x 12" layout using the Boys Will Be Boys die cut set.

These are the measurements for creating this single page layout.  You can always create a 2nd page to go with this one.

• Base brown cardstock - 12" x 12"

• Patterned paper mat - 11 1/2" x 11 1/2"

• Star - you can create your own star if you don't have an electronic die cutter just by drawing it on the cardstock.  Draw the tan layer 1st approx 9" the brown layer is 9.25".

• Rectangle mats - brown (2), tan (1) each mat is 2.50" x 5.50", patterned paper mat (3) 2.25" x 5.25"

• Photo mats - brown 6 1/4" x 4 1/4", tan 6" x 4"

• Bottom long strip - Brown 3/4" x 11", patterned paper 1/2" x 11"

• Journal strips - cream (3) 1/4" x 4", brown 1/2" x 4".  You can modify these journal strips to suit your needs

• Brown marker for dashes around the star, I used a ruler so mine would appear straight

• Stars on left side of photo mat - brown (5) 1 1/4", patterned paper (2), cream & tan 1".  You can use  punches or if you have them. If you have an electronic die cutter create your 1st smaller star & then a shadow layer for the mat.
  

•  I used adhesive dots on the stars (brown) but you can use buttons or brads as well.
  

• Die cuts - Boys Will Be Boys Set (includes frog) is available on the HH website under the World of Die Cuts section HERE 

 Be sure to pop over to the HH website & check out all the pre-made die cuts we have available HERE.  Don't forget there is NO GLUING for you, they are already assembled!!

 

Have a crafty day!

Fun At The Lake

Hi Everyone,

Today I'm sharing this layout called "Fun At The Lake".  My son loved to visit his Nana in Keremeos, BC as often as possible.  On this trip his cousin was there too & they enjoyed a wonderful day in Penticton, BC at the lake.  I was chuckling a little while putting this layout together because looking at the expression on my son's face you would think he was having a lousy time.  But he never liked getting his picture taken but he was having a blast.

I was able to include a couple of stamps on this layout Sandcastle & Fillable Beach Scene.  I wanted to keep this layout pretty clean and simple.

Copic's for Sandcastle

Flag - B45, B41

Windows - E44, E43, E42, E41

My Sunshine!

Hi Everyone!!

Today I'm sharing a single page 12 x 12 layout called "My Sunshine" & the Sun.  These photos of Emilee go back to 2007...boy oh boy do I have a lot of years to catch up on...she was just 6 years old here!

I was originally going to make my High Hopes Bessie Boo image into a card.  I had a raw chipboard frame that was 5 x 5 so I painted it up and put the flowers on.  I then glued my image onto the back of the frame.  After finishing it I got to thinking that it was perfect for these 2 pictures I have of Emilee....so that is how this page got started.  You think one thing and the next thing you know it's something completely different.  I do LOVE to stamp for my scrapbook pages so it's not totally unlike me to do something like this.

I made sure when I glued down the two mats for the pictures and put the flowers on that I would be able to easily slip my pictures in.  I put some Nuvo Clear drops in the centres of all the flowers.  I didn't want them to be opaque.

The patterned paper is from Sassafrass Lass from years ago...I know surprise right lol!

My Dog Loves Me!!

Hi Everyone!!

I think I'm on a scrapbooking roll today....whooo hoo me!  This layout features World of Die Cuts by Lora "My Dog Loves Me" & "Woof Woof Tan on Cream"

Okay so seriously who has scrapbook paper in their stash from 2006....my arms are up in the air....pick me!  This Making Memories paper is from 2006....yes 2006.  Now if that doesn't have hoarder written all over it I don't know what does.  I'm so bad for using paper that I only have a little bit of.  Why?  Well because I may never be able to find it again of course.  BUT I'm happy to say that I will be using up my stash in the coming month's.  Why?  So I can buy more of course!

Hi Everyone!!

Today I'm back with a double page 12 x 12 scrapbook layout using the World of Die Cuts by Lora.  We just upload 90+ die cuts to the High Hopes website.  All the World of Die Cuts by Lora are already put together for you....so no paper piecing is required.  Now how cool is that!!

For this layout I'm using "Look What I Caught" & "Fish In A Pond"

The patterned paper is some really old stuff from Crate Paper that I was hanging onto for just the right layout.

Snow Much Fun!

Hi Everyone,

Today I'm sharing a single page layout I created for our Grandson Greyson aka our "Grand Prince".  This is our only grandchild and he is 9 months old and lives in Whitehorse, YK.  Sooooo far away from Ontario so I have to busy myself creating layouts of him so I can look at his precious little face all the time.  The day these shots were take it was a balmy -5 warm for someone who lives in the Yukon lol.  Greyson loves the snow and would be more than willing to just hang out and play but he was just out for a quick little bit of fresh air.  I LOVE his handmade bunny slippers so if you were wondering why I made the "Bunny" die cut this layout is why.  At first I thought it kind of weird to create a winter layout with a bunny but now that I have it all put together I'm rather pleased with the outcome.  Hope you like it too.

Products used:  Photo Play Winter Meadow patterned paper "Winter Joy", "Winter Wishes" & "Winter Woods", cardstock "Lagoon" & "Juneberry", OCS Custom Die Cut "Snow Much Fun" & "Baby Bunny"

Thanks for stopping by today, hope to see you again soon!

Hugs,

 

Winter Fox

Hi Everyone,

I created this single page 12 x 12 layout for my Grandson, I'm just waiting for the pictures to be sent to me.  I was under a bit of a time crunch when I was making this layout so I went for a single instead of my traditional double page.

I created a few extra of the Winter Fox die cut and they are available in the OCS store HERE

Have a wonderful day!

Happy Fall!!!

Hi Everyone,

Well I have been on a mission to complete this layout in time to join the OCS Design Team for the November 2014 Challenge.....I completed my mission!!!  The November Challenge which goes live on Nov. 1st is "Anything Goes".  We hope you can join all the fun on the DT Blog for your chance to win a Stamp Prize Pack.  You can find the Blog HERE.

I had mentioned before I was all done with Halloween layouts for now and I'm moving on, but before I can get to Winter layouts I must complete some Fall layouts.  My children were away for the Thanksgiving weekend and they sent me some beautiful pictures, which will go in the 2 spots on this layout.  Sorry my son won't send me pic's if I post them online...so they are blank for now.  We might sneak one in on an upcoming layout...shhh!!

I really enjoy working with the Fall colours so for this layout I chose the new Simple Stories Sweater Weather collection.  My stamps for this layout are Guard Duty Rudy, Hay Bales & Harvest Mice all from High Hopes Rubber Stamps.
