Then & Now

Hey y'all! I am here to share my latest layout using the current sketch from Stuck On U Sketches. It was created by Leah Schaeffer. Here is a look:
 
  
Isn't it so fun?! Here is what I created:

 

I started by using pink & blue watercolors on the white cardstock. I found this old picture of Leah on her toy horse from when she was 16 months old. Who knew then that she would grow up to ride live horses?!

 

 

I used a mix of journal cards, die cuts & stickers from Simple Stories I Am collection & some other stickers from Basic Grey's Capture collection.

 

 

 

I had so much fun creating this & loved doing the watercolor effects. I will definitely do it again!

 

I hope you get the chance to play along & link up with us!  

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Take care!!

Baby Card

Hi friends! Hope you all had a great weekend!
Ours was busy, but very good! Leah was in a horse show at the barn on Saturday morning & she placed second in her class!

 We are extremely proud of her! She is becoming quite the equestrian (which makes this momma very happy)!
Saturday night the barn had a Halloween party. We took the kids & our nephew for some food & fun.
Today I had a friend's baby shower to attend. Charlotte does not know the baby's gender, so I tried to make a neutral card:

  I started with the chevron paper from Fancy Pants' Collecting Memories collection. On top of the green cardstock I added Mama's Mesh in white. I love the texture of the mesh & the dimension & added interest it lends to my card. I think without it my card would look very flat. I misted the scalloped flower chipboard with Glimmer Mist. The penant is made from another piece of Fancy Pants' paper. The alphas are AC Thickers.

 Thanks for stoppin' by! I hope to be back very soon to share more with you!
Stay scrappy!!

Hi Little One

Hey guys & happy Friday (again)!!
I swear these summer weeks are flying by at full speed!
As much as the kids' fighting & needing to be entertained can be exhausting, I wish the time would slow down. Before I know it, they will be heading back to school & I know I'll miss them! All those times I said I couldn't wait for them to grow up, I'd take it all back in a heartbeat now! Time goes by in a blink & I never realized in the thick of it just how much I would miss it.

But on another note, here is my project for Lovebug Creation's this week! 
A friend & neighbor, Lyndsay had a baby boy at the beginning of the month. I made this for her new baby, Henry:

I used a scrap of paper for the background, then fussy cut the two doilies from a piece of Echo Park paper. Behind the doilies, I placed Simply Blue & Simply White rumple ribbons from the "Star Spangled" collection. The alphas are AC Thickers &  the button in the center of the small doily is also from AC.

I hope you all have a great day! We will be doing laundry & packing as we are headed to D.C. for the weekend!
Have a great one!!
