Layout #139

...Without a fight by Haley Ross

(double-click to enlarge)

This is my favourite layout from the weekend. (There are 3 that I did that are so ugly I won't even post them). I love this paper. And I love the Big Bite that allowed me to punch a dotted circle in my photos (I also used a template from Crafters Workshop). If anyone knows where I can get more paper from this line, let me know. I got these two sheets but that's all Scrapbookers Paradise had. I'd love some more.

Layout #131

Monkey by Haley Ross

Ugh. I hate this layout. Hate it. You know when you have really really good idea, and then, as your begin to execute it, you realise it's not going to turn out the way you planned? That is what happened with this layout. Ugh. Hate it. Anyway, I'm not going to re-do it, because I don't "believe" in that. Besides, making that white circle frame took way too long. Ugh.

If anyone has any suggestions that don't require me taking this apart, let me know...

Grumpy Pants by Haley Ross

Miles was sick with the flu for 11 days. 11 days! Aycaramaba! He has also been crawling a lot better lately (he's a real pro) and so I wanted to capture that. Well, he wasn't having it. At all. And he let me know it. I like this layout. I was able to use some really old stuff. The paper, the rub-ons, the floss & template, but also the white metal letters which are at least 3 years old. SO happy to see them used. I was also so happy with the harlequin pattern that I created on the left side of the layout. I was trying so hard to work that embroidery floss into my layout. I did, and I totally love it.

Oh Baby by Haley Ross

I pretty much scraplifted this layout. I loved the idea. I just cut a big circle out of the paper with the Cricut & went from there. So much fun.

Materials: Cardstock: Bazzill Basics; Patterned Paper: My Little Yellow Bicycle, making memories, Daisy D's, Me & My Big Ideas, and October Afternoon; Stickers: 7 Gypsies; Pen: EK Success Zig Writer; Other: Brads.

Super Star by Haley Ross

Ok. I love these pictures. I hate this layout. It started off so well, I liked the idea of mimicking the pattern with the brads. That's where I hit a road block. I couldn't make any title work on such busy paper. So I took the easy way out. And now I hate it. If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

See? I promised more layouts, and I am delivering.... I did this LO this morning. I'm trying to remember not just to scrapbook the happy moments. This was definitly NOT a happy moment. I've been dying to use these grommets from WeRMemory Keepers. And, I love them (shocker!)

Old Stock? Oops! Just the Patterned Paper & Cardstock.
