Flip Flop

Ok. I got my July and my August Scripts kits at the same time and I mixed them up (accidentally). So, I'm not sure if most of the supplies for this kit came from the July kit or the August kit, but they all blend together quite nicely! This layout is about an old, old OLD pair of flip flops I have that I just CAN'T get rid of. I used some American Crafts Zing embossing powder to emboss the Jenni Bowlin sunburst chipboard and used the My Little Shoebox "b side" and Basic Grey stickers for the title. I love the KI Bloom softies flowers too! They added just the right touch. I used the tear off strip on the Sassafrass paper to make a half border for the pic of my beautiful shoes. I love that little extra piece.

Deep summertime... when laziness finds respectability.

I loved that sticker quote found on one of the October Afternoon Cherry Hill stickers in this month's kit, and combined with this fun picture I took the other day, my inspiration for this layout was found.
I'm not a big "summertime gal," and I wanted to record my perspectives on summertime and how we survive this season- not only every year, but in particularly this year, when I'm big and pregnant and waaaaaaaay too hot!
The journaling focuses on our daily schedule and how we have settled into a very simple routine... lots of little things that become the big things throughout our day. P.S. I attached those cool felt flowers with a big, fat glue dot, and they haven't budged!

Ladies, Welcome to the Gun Show

My husband is a funny guy. He was voted class wittiest, in fact. So, one of the first phrases he taught J to say was, "Ladies, Welcome to the Gun Show!" and to then flex his "guns". He has been doing that since he was about two. He is still doing it today. It always gets a laugh. I thought the tickets in the kit worked well with this theme (tickets for the gun show anyone?). I added a bit of ephemera (because I am all in the ephemera these days). The Cosmo Cricket paper added the perfect amount of whimsical fun with the bouncing ball background. The Thickers were mine...I am running out and I need more!!!!

Being Mommy & Snuggies

This is a layout that I hadn't gotten around to posting yet from last month's Scripts kit. It's one of those that means a lot to me... I hope my kids can see my heart in it when they are older.
And this one is with the newest Scripts kit- look at all those bright summer colors!

Katie gave me the idea for the title... we were joking about those blanket/Snuggies things and I realized that's what my kids call it when they are snuggling. Hee hee.

It was fun coming up with these different elements in this cluster. I'm so punching more circles out of tickets, I love how it looks!

Layout with June Kit

Another great kit from Scrap Etc. Scripts this month!  I love all the fun summer colors.  The kit is just in time for open toed shoe season and we have a girl at our house that loves getting a mani/pedi.  The beautiful Bloom Paper from KI Memories was perfectly girlie.  I also used the B side of the Hambly for my journaling and title work.  I used the gold Glitz rub on to add a little something extra to the edge of the layout.  I also gathered the yellow tulle from the kit to make a little ruffle on the left side of the layout under the flower paper.  You know how I like dimension.
