218 Days Until Christmas

Really? 

Only 218 Days Until Christmas?

Already?

Seems like it was just here!

So today I am going to share some Christmas layouts that I did from Christmas 2016!

This page was done using a kit from Clique Kits.  Lots of torn papers and some messy layering with a couple bundles of embellishments made this a very fun layout!

The following layouts were done using Flavors of the Month kits from The Scraproom!  I have a monthly subscription to their kits and they never disappoint!!!  4 kits in each subscription every month and they always amaze!!  Season of Love was made using My Mind's Eye Sugar Plum!  Love the little bit of bling in the papers!

Christmas Cuties . . . yup, my little men with Santa! 

 I used The Scraproom FOTM Bella Blvd Illustrated Faith CHRISTmas!  

These papers were so fun and absolutely adorable!  Wanted to use all these pics so I did a 2 pager!  Doesn't seem like I do these very often any more but sometimes it's a necessity!  I love being able to carry over the page into 2!  And the white ink on black just drew it all into the green/black/white patterned paper.

One of our favorite Christmas traditions is opening one gift on Christmas Eve which is always new pajamas!  Love to scrapbook our traditions as memories for my boys!  I used The Scraproom Flavors of the Month Carta Bella Christmas Delivery to scrap PJ's Crew.

Tis the Season was a difficult page for me, though I love how it turned out! 

 I had a hard time with the angle of the paper. 

 Another FOTM kit Pinkfresh Oh Joy!  

And I had so much fun making the banner using washi tape!

Who starts their Christmas shopping early?  Sure isn't me! 

But these pages start to bring me some Christmas spirit!

So as we head into the summer . . . here's wishing you all an early, or late depending on how you look at it, Merry Christmas! hahaha

I love the Scraproom!

Have you heard of the The ScrapRoom?

You can find them on Facebook or check out their Blog!

They have the most amazing monthly kits!

I totally love them!

Inspiration galore!

The latest and greatest scrapbooking product!

So since I am catching up on a few months of not blogging,

I am going to share the layouts I made using the Jan.2017 FOTM kit!

Z&R (Zander & Roxie) was made using Jillibean Soup Hardy Hodgepodge. 

Added in some of wood venears . . .my fave embellishments!

Sisters are Amazing was used using Pink Paislee Moonstruck.  Used watercolor crayons on the white cardstock.  Not very often I get to use pink, flowers and bling so I take advantage of it when I can!

Check out The Scraproom to see more of their amazing kits!

This Weekend!

Indiana weather . . . UGH!

It's camping season and yet every weekend it is raining!

I sooo want to be at the camper but I am at home and doing laundry!

But I am getting a little bit of scrapping in also!

Using the The Scraproom Flavor of the Month kit from May 2017,

I was able to complete 2 layouts using just 1 of the kits! 

I used Pebbles Sunshiny Days to make both of these layouts.

"Go Forever" was scrapping my boys learning to drive the boat last summer. 

They could stay out on the water ALL DAY LONG!

"Beach Boys" was done using a sketch, but main inspiration was a scraplift of

Rochelle Spears layout "Flamingos" from The Scraproom!

2 layouts out of 1 kit and all in 1 day!

Now to see if I can get more done today on this rainy day!

Basketball fever

Been super busy since this fall!  Lots of changes in the Guy household!  I have changed jobs, we had wonderful holidays spent with family, we took on an awesome Spring Break trip to Washington DC and I have traveled twice to Maryland for work!  So how much time does that leave for scrapping and blogging . . . well, honestly not much!  But I have been scrapping some so let me share a few things that I have done.  I will spread this out over a few blog posts so as not to overwhelm you! hahaha

My nephews varsity basketball team had an awesome season and I have been working on some of the pages from his season!  The basketball papers used are from Reminisce and I accented them with Project Life cards!  Project Life cards make for easy layering and so much versatility!  

So without further ado . . . 

As always, thanks for always stopping by!  If you like what you see, please comment below!  If you have suggestions, I would love to hear them!

Have a very blessed Saturday! ~ Heather

Fall is here!

Fall is finally here in Indiana and it has been perfect camping weather for our family. Nothing I like better than sitting around the campfire, bundled up in a warm hoodie, great conversation with friends and a warm drink in my hand!  We only have about one more weekend before we close up the camper for the winter. *sigh*

Got home a little earlier today than we normally do so I took the extra time to scrap a page while I was doing some laundry and watching Sunday football!  GO RAIDERS!

I used The Scrap-Room freaky fast Friday formula to work on my layout today.  I used the American Crafts Dear Lizzy Saturday collection from the The Scrap-Room Flavor of the Month Kit from September to scrap this page.

In addition to the FOTM kit, the enamel dots are from Stampin' Up, the small talk from Tim Holtz, the Hello Love wood veneer is from Heidi Swapp (I believe) and then some various wood veneer pieces that I had.  Also used Ranger Dylusions for the splattered ink.

With the end of camping season, I am hoping that means more scrappy time!  I am way behind and need to get to producing some more layouts! Lol

Happy fall ya'll! ~ Heather

Sketch challenge

I always love sketch challenges.  They give me some direction when I don't have much mojo.  So while I was at a crop on Saturday, I decided to take on the Jump Start Sketch Challenge for September from http://thescraproomblog.blogspot.com/ . Here is the sketch.

I used the Flavor of the Month kit from The Scrap Room from the month of August. This was the Jillibean Soup Mushroom Medley collection.  I added a few of my own embellishments (enamel dots, wood veneers, banner and metal tree stump).  

Love these pics of my triplets from a hike that we went on over Labor Day weekend.  They are adventurous boys for sure!  They were climbing and playing waterfalls and being . . . well, boys!  lol

Many other pages created while at the crop that I will get uploaded over the next few days!

Hope you enjoy!

The Good Life!

May???  Really???

I can't believe I haven't posted on my blog since May. 

I got a good run of blogging going and then life hit me!

And not only hit me, it knocked me out!!!!!

Payton's graduation, Plexus convention to Vegas, Payton's Open House, Summer at the campground, Baseball Games . . . and the list keeps going!

So this week I cleaned my scrap room (from preparing for open house) and

found my scrapbook desk under everything!

And even though I was knocked out from life, my awesome Flavor of the Month Kits from

The ScrapRoom were still arriving.  What's truly sad?  The unopened boxes that just sat there while

I was waiting to pick myself up off the floor. :(

And then I opened them and mojo suddenly appeared!

So I jumped back into the challenges over at the ScrapRoom

and now let me unveil the results of that mojo!

First challenge was the August Jump Start challenge!

I used Jillibean Soup Mushroom Medley from the August Flavor of the Month Kit

at http://www.scrap-room.com/ for my layout.

And the reveal is . . .

We spend a lot of the summer out on the boat . . .fishing and tubing and swimming. 

This if the life that we love!!!!  I love these relaxing moments with my Guys!

Hope you have been enjoying your summer!!!!
