Mission Accomplished!

Recently my children had a very exciting experience.  They were allowed on the roof to "help" Daddy with some preparations for the new roof (don't worry- they were only up there with an adult close by and never running around.  :).  They were responsible, careful, and handled the situation well, and at the end, each earned $5 for their efforts.  Based on their reactions, you would have thought they completed the roof all by themselves!

I painted the Stylish letters white, then sanded them down to match the style of the papers I chose- I LOVE how well Want2Scrap chipboard takes abuse like sanding!

4 Minutes of Superhero Coolness

This summer, my son had the opportunity to tour a firetruck, complete with his own "Assistant" fireman.  He thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity, and sitting in that drivers seat made him feel 10 feet tall.  This is one of the photos I captured from that afternoon.

I knew when starting this layout that I wanted to use a long, multi-font title, so I painted a Nestaboard from Labels Twenty Five as the background for my title.  I think it allows your eye to easily read my title, because it's confined to one place.  It also really emphasizes the title as a design element, which I love.

Tree Pose

Every year, I take photos of my kids with the same tree.  It's kind of like a growth chart, tracking how big they are (and how much the tree has grown) every year.  Each year, I scrap them individually and together with the tree.  This is the "together" photo, which they weren't terribly interested in posing for.  

I used some of my new Want2Scrap products on this layout, starting with one of the Fancy Framed Tags 2, which I coated with gesso (the easiest way to get a mice clean white).  Behind it I layered a Nestaboard Labels 18, which was colored with Ranger Distress Stain.   The letters got the same treatment, to help the overall layout feel coordinated.  

Thanks for taking a peek!

Precious Moments

Last week, my daughter had the chance to look at some parts of my Project Life album with her Grandma.  Of course I had to take pictures!  I created this layout to be part of my Project Life Album (love the irony of that...)

After misting the background, I used some Nikki Sivils papers and Want2Scrap products to make this layout.  The color palette is kind of fun!  The new Distress Stains are my favorite way to alter my Want2Scrap chipboard.  They are SO easy, and I love the saturated colors.

Thanks for taking a peek!
