New Favorite

So I thought I'd try my hand at the challenge over at More Than Words which is.....

Word Inspiration - FAVORITE  Creative Challenge - SCRAPLIFT YOURSELF the favorite part was easy I just picked my favorite scrapping subject...isn't she just the cutest thing! now the scraplift was the hard part LOL I had a layout in mind when I first saw the challenge at the beginning of the month but I couldn't find a picture of it :( haha I'll find it after...so I picked this very old layout I'm pretty sure it's from 2014..

Valerie is my new favorite scrapping subject ...she was born on Mothers day weekend and I'm an Honorary Grandma

Old layout

thank you for stopping by!

Learn as you go...

Embellishments they sometimes a layout just needs a little something extra ,so I was looking around on the internet to get ideas and since I 'm new and don't really have all the fancy machines I have to do everything by hand you know cut and paste,So I looked up a couple tutorials on how to make you own flowers and such! After watching a few video's I got brave and decided to try my hand at them. Not as hard as I thought they would be but I think I will look around for a couple different flower punches,to cut them by hand takes forever. Here are a couple paper flowers that my daughter Sam and I tried out along with some no sew lace one which I loved because I have some strips that I really what to use on Stephanie's scrapbook and I didn't have to sew anything!We experimented with size and colors to figure out what we liked best. If anyone know of some good tutorials please let me know! thanks

the rainbow flower was Sam's idea!

just a different view

A2Z Sraplets sketch challenge

In my search to figure out how to make embellishments I can across a blog A2Z scraplets they have plenty of new layouts for me to try and also have contests  so I decided I'd like to try it....

Here is the LO they want us to go by...... I seem to have a hard time matching my colors but my oldest says they all look fine,sometimes I'm not so sure.

Here is the Lo I have done for the contest I used my favorite pictures from this summer,she has the most beautiful smile on her face. I also used some of her ribbons to make flags/banners. I try to put something personal of hers in every Lo to me it makes it special.
