Quick pages CAN look great when you whip out all those sticker embellishments that sometimes end up staying on the sticker sheet!
Echo Park paper and sticker embellishments. Buttons from Basic Grey and American Crafts. DMC floss. American Crafts Thickers.
I’ve managed to squeeze in a few scrapbook pages every now and then.
Is it our turn yet? Sketch from Scrapbook Generation
Just like a teen.
Yes, I know I’m cute. I did this layout for a challenge at Club Creating Keepsakes. We were challenged to create a layout and outline two elements on the page.
An Eggcellent Day
Sweet. This is a layout that I started at a Creating Keepsakes Convention way back in March. All SEI products. Finally finished it about a month ago.
I had another Raider Football mom ask if I could make something for her out of some Raiders fabric she had acquired from a yard sale. First off, so jealous that she got the fabric from a yard sale because that licensed fabric can be spendy!!! I was more than happy to make something for her and I decided to make a quilt.
Once I had gotten the fabric up on the quilt stands and started tying my yarn knots I realized that I haven’t made one of these blankets in a long time. I really enjoyed it too. They are so easy! This will be a great blanket to have once the weather gets a little more chilly and we’re freezing our behinds off at football games.
I have a “car blanket” that I purchased at Target quite a few years ago that I just love! It’s really a picnic blanket and it’s not very large but I LOVE how it zips all nice and tidy and it has a handle to carry it. So along those lines I decided to make a strap that will tuck this little baby all nice and neat to fit into a bag or in the trunk of a car. The strap is sewn on so it won’t get lost!
I enjoyed making this blanket so much that I ended up making one for my family as well! And now I’m in the sewing mood!
All this talk about mixed media scrapping but I just can’t really get into it. This is the extent to my mixed media. I used quilt batting for the clouds and the center of the flower on the bottom left.
Supplies used: Bazzill cardstock. Pink Paisley patterned paper. Basic Grey patterned paper. Tape (washi type) from Target. Stampin Up Banner Punch and circle punch. Stampin Up ink. SEI flower brad. Echo Park balloon sticker and alphas. Twine from The Twinery. EK Success boarder punch. Kaiser Craft alphas. Micron journaling pen.
Mason and Spencer are full swing into their football season. Busy almost every day of the week with practices and games. Somewhere in there we squeeze in some homework
That’s my Spencer, without a number on his jersey.
Mason. Raider number 54!
I’m sure you’ve heard this song from One Direction. Carter sings it in the car, it’s quite funny! When I loaded the pictures that are in this LO that’s what came to my mind.
Supplies: Basic Grey (Picadilly) patterned paper. SEI and Echo Park brads. Stampin Up pen.
Cierra had a volleyball camp in Portland so I took all the kids on a little trip. We had to stop at Multnomah Falls on the way. I think Harley was the only one who had been there before. Mason was disappointed that we didn’t hike up to the bridge but we just were not wearing the right shoes.
In 1995 shortly after Alex and I were married we lived in Vancouver, WA. We thought about going to the falls on this day but then decided not to. THAT DAY there was a huge piece of rock that fell from the cliff face and soaked a wedding party that was there. It was kind of neat reading the plaque about it since we ALMOST were there that day.
I found online that a mall in Beaverton had a dinosaur exhibit so I thought the kids might enjoy seeing that. Well, we were disappointed when we got there and saw how small it was. It was NOT what we were expecting! You can tell how thrilled Mason is, LOL
Hello!! The Lego Store!!! Such a fun place, I totally love the wall of Legos!!
It’s funny how such simple things can be so fun! They thought this elevator was pretty cool! I don’t know how many times they rode escalators up and down, it’s not like they’ve never seen one before.
I had to find a park for the boys to run around and burn some energy after spending quite a few hours in the mall.
Quite by accident we found the Tualatin Hill Nature Park. If you are ever in the Portland-Beaverton-Tualatin area you really should check it out!! Miles of paved paths and some gravel paths through this nature park. Very cool!! I think that was just about the highlight of the trip for the boys, second maybe to the hotel hot tub, LOL.
One of the boys spotted this slug when we were walking along, it had to be as big around as my thumb and much longer, it was fat!!
