Toss The Dice

I've been sitting on this layout for a few days. The kit was finally released today, so I can share my layout. The kit was so much fun and I wished I had better pictures that fit with it, but when I saw the kit I immediately thought of a couple pictures I could use that would sort of work.

I present to you, TOSS THE DICE...

Best thing about this new release is that if you buy the kit from now until the 26th, you can get the template pack (which I also used) for 1/2 off!!! See links below to get to kit and template.

Take A Hike

Hold on to your seats, folks...I actually made a layout for no other reason than to just make it. I'm so proud of myself. It has to do with my friends wanting to get together again and scrap. We haven't done it in months and I'm so glad we got together today. And guess what, we're getting together again tonight - but I'm going to go back to my roots then and make some traditional layouts. We'll see if I end up sharing anything. HAHAHA!

Anyway onto today's completed layout:

Yup, I went back in time and created a layout for the 'family' book. Woot. I'm seriously thinking I may be changing my ways and sticking with digital. I'll get things done so much quicker.

Lacking Inspiration?

As is usual for me lately, because of a post I had to make at the Trixie Scraps blog - I have a couple new pages to share.

The post was about Overcoming Scrapper's Block. Read it, or don't. It's up to you, but here are the pages from it.

The first page, I'm not totally wild about. I'll probably do a redo of it sometime in the future. Because of certain circumstances, I was doing it at about 10:00 at night for the post that had to go live the very next morning...It's just lacking something and I don't know what.

The fact that all the pictures I chose were taken in the same month 2 years apart was a complete coincidence, but a very happy one.

Here's the next page. This is a page I've wanted to make for a long time, but just never could do it. Then I ran across a saying and it gave me my jump off point. You can read more about that in the post.

Subway Art in Scrapbook Form

The other day I did another post for Trixie Scraps. I know, I know. Without being a part of the CT over there, I'd get nothing scrapped...

Anyway, the post is all about using Subway Art in your scrapbook pages. You can read it here, it includes a tutorial of some form...

If you can't wait to read the post, I'll show you the cute layout that I did with it.

(Yes, I have the wrong year listed...It's fixed in the copy I'll print off)

Sibs and Kid Sister

So, my little sister may kill me for these next two layouts that I am FREELY sharing with the world, but I do enough for her that she can build a bridge and get over it. ;)

The first layout I created for another post at Trixie Scraps. I had to do another post about a font and you can read that post here.

Here's the layout:

The next layout I did to help out the team. Trixie along with Connie Prince (together they make North Meets South Studios) released  January Templatetopia and Trixie needed layouts to go with it.

Family Birthday Board

So awhile back my husband pointed me to this link. The link was a picture of the family birthday boards you see all over Pinterest now. But we saw the thing way before they all started popping up. I took note of it as a good idea for a gift and put the idea aside.

This year for Christmas, I decided it was the perfect gifts for our mother's. They both loved it. So here are our family birthday boards:

Yes, my family is much bigger than the hubbies...He's 1 of 3 kids, I'm 1 of 7.

I found most of my supplies at one of my favorite places, The Wood Connection. I'm sure you can find all of them at your local craft store, however. The letters I used for the months, were in my scrapbooking stash for years, same as the ribbons. The twine used I found at Target in their scrapbooking aisle. I'm too lazy to go look at the paint right now for exact colors, but if someone wants to know - I will find it.

Santa's Little Trouble Makers

There's been a lot of fun new kits for the Holiday Season released over at Trixie Scraps lately. She's been doing a lot of collab work. One such kit that came about was My Shelf Elf. This is the first year we've ever done The Elf On The Shelf thing at our house, so I'm just barely getting pictures of it.

However, I still found an awesome use for this kit and I of course made a few things with it.

First and foremost, I did a tutorial on how to make a Facebook Timeline Cover Photo. You can read the tutorial here and this is what it looks like:

The next thing I did with this kit was to make a scrapbook page, of course. I took one of the templates one of the CT members made, which you can find here and went to work. Here's what we came out with:
