Kindergarten Valentine's Party

Hello!  James, my oldest grandson is now 10 and in the 4th grade and here I am just now scrapping his Kindergarten Valentine's party.  Ugh!  without further ado :

Here is the Let's Scrap Sketch I followed:

Here is what I made of it:

I started with 12 X 12 Crimson AC Cardstock from the 12x12 Cardstock Shop.  ( I love this place!)  They carry all AC cardstock for the best prices!

I then used Black AC Cardstock and Rouge AC Cardstock to mat my pictures and the rouge to make my hearts.  I used love me tender by Paper Studio and BoBunny Cardstock for the pattern paper .

I paper pieced the Stitch together and I made the title with my Cameo 3.

Here is page one close up:

Clifty Falls Layout

Hello Scrapping For Tranquility Fans!  Sorry it has been a while. My computer crashed and I had to save a bit to shell out the money for a new one.  (new to me, Refurbished one to anyone else.  LOL)

I want to share a layout of our small vacation we took last year to Clifty Falls State Park, here in Indiana.  We are in Northern Indiana and Clifty Falls is at the very bottom, west next to Kentucky and Ohio.  It is a VERY beautiful part of the state.

What made me decide to do this layout is I found this wonderful sketch on Let's Scrap sketch challenges and couldn't pass it up and thought I would not only scrap my wonderful photos but enter it into the contest.  Here is the sketch:

Of course I have tons of photos from the trip so first I had to decide which photos I wanted to use and from what part of the trip.  Once that was done I wanted to choose the card stock to use.    First let me show you my completed layout:

For all my solid textured card stock I always use AC Textured Card stock.  That is my go to card stock.  Then I had to choose what would go nicely with my photos in a print.  I found this beautiful plaid left over from an  Echo Park Paper Kit  called This & That.  I loved that kit and I just had remnants left and thought it would go great with this layout.  (Echo Park is my favorite Kit company also!)

I made my border, signs, and title on my cameo and that is about it.

I hope you enjoyed my layout and stop by Let's Scrap and check out their challenges!

Lestat's First Birthday

Hello Scrapping For Tranquility Fans!  I want to share with you my youngest grandson, Lestat's first birthday pictures.  He was soooo excited to dig into his smash cake!  We are sooo glad we had a professional photographer there to record these memories! 

I knew I wanted to scrap these photos but not sure how .   I wanted to show the progression of the way she took the pictures but again, I didn't know how.  THEN,  I came across a challenge at Let's Scrap. 

This week's sketch seem to be perfect for what I needed.  Here is the sketch:

 

Here is my take on the sketch :

If you start in the top left going down working right then top left on the right page working right then down to bottom row to right and ending in the middle. 

I didnt want to add a lot of embellishments because I wanted the photos to speak for themselves.  Along with the paint splatter paper and the the loopy border I cut on my cameo, the flag banner, I felt that was enough.  I am really pleased the way it came out.

The worst part was the white background on the pictures and trying to photograph this layout.  It was not an easy layout to get a good picture of , at least for me.  LOL 

This was my first Let's Scrap Challenge but I am POSITIVE it wont be my last.  I truly LOVED it and love their sketches!  I hope you all will join me the next time!  I have found I have used a few of their sketches I have found on the net already and didnt know it was thiers!  

Thank you for joining me and I hope you all find some Tranquility in your Scrapping Soon!

Blessings,
