Just us - Ruby Rock-It

Hello my friends! Yesterday it was my turn to share on Ruby Rock-It's blog "why" I scrap ... I think my layout says it all: I scrap because some photos and memories "touch" me and I want to hold on to that feeling, I scrap because I want to preserve certain memories for my kids for when they're older and last but definitely not least I scrap because I need the creative outlet, I just love to play with papers and everything that comes with it! And that's what this layout is all about: the memory, the photo that touches my heart, the creative part: 

Because I always love to combine different designs and collections I decided to do just that for this page. Therefore I needed a subdued background and chose a kraft one. For the circle background, the title and the funky circles I used my Silhouette Cameo and for the rest of the rest of the page I used many different punches.  

On the tag there's some hidden journaling with a personal message from me to my son and husband.

The words and expressions were cut from one of the sheets from the "Kinda Krafty" collection: 

Fiskars was so generous to send us, the design team, several of their punches to work with. I got a  fantastic 1/2" star punch and this awesome 2 1/2" branch out lever punch: 

This is it for today. Hope you like it!

Scraptastic Club's 4rth Anniversary!

This month it's Scraptastic Club's 4rth birtday and last weekend was a weekend full of challenges! Although my days are super busy with Manon leaving next Saturday for the US for almost a year I managed to find a bit of time to join in the fun and do a layout for one of the challenges!

I chose Carol's challenge: "To celebrate we are going to go back to the year you were born and check out the top 100 songs of 2010. Find a song title that inspires you and use it as your title on a layout, sentiment on a card, or phrase on a TLN spread........you pick!"

On #69 I found a song titled "3" by Britney Spears, which was just perfect for my photo (although the song text wasn't, but who cares? lol). I used the Color Blind kit and add-on from November 2013:

Love the result! In case you didn't see my title, here it is on the owl:

And a photo of the kits:

Summer Day - Pretty Little Studio

Hi everyone! I'm popping in to share a Pretty Little Studio layout with you. I just had to use the fabulous “Marigold” collection again. It’s just so beautiful and it goes so well with my vacation photos from France! The soft colors are a perfect match for the photos I took during our walk up the hills one day. It was so hot, but so beautiful and totally worth it.

I just adore that “Poppy” patterned paper (!!) and don’t you just love those “Poppy Paper Ribbons” and the “Primrose Polaroid Tags”!

And how about that golden flair button … sigh!!!

I think this is my favorite Pretty Little Studio collection ever! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Wishing you a great weekend!!
Hugs,

Love this - Imaginisce

For today I've got an Imaginisce layout to share, again created with the "Perfect Vacation" collection (can't get enough of this collection!) and I've also pulled out my Gelatos ... love those more and more! 

I've also used my Silhouette Cameo, can't imagine a layout without using cut files anymore. 

These files are from "Scrapbook and Cards Today" (sketchy circles), the Cut Shoppe (love this card) and from the Silhouette shop - Loni Stevens #30791 (hahaha).

Thanks for stopping by!
