Doubled up

I was finally able to escape real life for a few minutes this weekend to finish up this layout....it has NEVER felt so good to scrapbook!! What a relaxing and theraputic hobby for me! Truth be told, I not only snuck in enough time to finish this layout but also enough time to do another one pager as well! I don't believe this picture does the layout justice but hey, there was only so much time to get things done and scanning just wasn't happening.



A close up of the enveloped section (my new favorite thing to do):


And another close-up view: The title was stamped in white and then embossed with clear powder.


Supplies: Bo Bunny Liberty, KiMemories die cut paper, K & Co Americana embellishments, Maya Road chipboard

***3 Scrappy Boys is going to be hosting a CHA crop this week...I will post my challenge here but go check out their forums for more info!

Back with the Others

I apologize for the delay in posting these...I expected to have them up last Thursday. Sadly, we received some horrific news and have spent the past five days hoping and praying and wrapping our heads around it all. While I don't feel this is the forum to share the details, I hope that each of you will say an extra prayer or wish a ray of sunshine upon my sister-in-law, Jeannie.


Since there is no easy way to gently fade into the reveal of my other two projects for Citrus Tree Studio, I will just go ahead and post them....





If you saw my last post, you can see, I have a thing for envelopes and tucked in photos and embellishments these days. I love that look. I have more layouts sitting on my desk to share as well that all have some sort of similar feature on them. It works for me I guess. The school days layout has all three kids school pictures tucked in there. I like that I can look back at it in years to come and just pull out their photos to compare to who they have become and how much they have grown. There is no tape involved...no mess, just a cute place to store them.

Citrus Tree Studio Guest

I am so thrilled to be joining Citrus Tree Studio this month as a guest designer! Their July kit was just amazing to work with --- chock full of Pink Paislee goodies, how could you go wrong? Make sure you head on over and check out it out in its entirety! Here are two of my FOUR layouts that I made...I only added the tags and the mist, EVERYTHING else was in the kit. Like I said, it was packed full of awesomeness!





I think these little kid stickers are my favorite! I still have two that I haven't used...waiting for some good pool pixs I think. They are adorable, aren't they? Besides, they are the perfect touch to highlight the many different activites that make up an average week in the Greenspun household....sports, play, ice cream, and a whole lot of silliness!

I'll be back later this week with the other two layouts....off to pack camp bags!

Layout Share - Webster's

I am just popping in with a quick layout to share. We are otherwise busy enjoying our long holiday weekend! Kayaking last night, swimming all day, hibachi tonight, fireworks and a parade on the calendar.

I have always adored Webster's pages from afar...gorgeous gorgeous designs but just not a style I am comfortable working in. However, when I saw these papers, I had to give them a try! I just love hot air balloons! Clouds...dreams...adventures --- what a great combination for these pictures of my son reading to my youngest!
