Some Layouts to Share

As some of you know my son had back surgery last Wednesday and this last weekend I stayed home all weekend taking care of him and getting some scrappin' done!
I love sketches and love to search different sites and play with them! I used the Basic Grey Page of the Month kits for May and June, I made the page of the month and several additional layouts with the left overs, there is always so much product left over!
This first two page layout is the the sample layout that came with the May page of the month kit, using the Sweet Threads Collection.
~ Sweet Girl
This is my daughter Gaby on Easter, she is such a girly girl that loves to pose for the camera!

And with the left overs, I completed another 2 page layout plus 2 more single layouts and I still have leftovers!

~Aloha
My daugher's birthday party when she turned 4 was a Hawaiian theme party, everyone dressed up, she loved wearing her outfit!
I used the Sketch# 53 from Sketch Savy a sketch blog, they have great sketches!

~ Together
My two youngest kids having fun at Disneyland!
I also used a sketch from Sketch Savy, their January Sketch for Memorable Seasons.

And the last one with this collection is another two page layout using the awesome sketches from Scrapbook Generations' sketch support
I used Sketch #4

~Serendipity
We were in Las Vegas and I almost died when I saw a Serendipity Restaurant! If you ever watched the movie or being to New York you would know that they have the BEST frozen chocolate EVER! This is a place that should be on everyone's list, as you can see my kids enjoyed so much our visit to Serendipity, by the way is just outside of Cesar's Palace!

Our trip to Sedona

Hello everyone!

I have created a new layout using a sketch from the wonderful sketch site Creative Scrappers, they have awesome sketches! I used sketch #157 to create this page of our trip to Sedona. I used the collection "100 days of Summer" from Simple Stories/Memory Works and this is actually my front page, I actually created our entire vacation album in one day! Using the refill pages from We R Memory Keepers and the Simple Stories system I was able to create about 20 pages in one night! I will be sharing those pages once I finish journaling and embellishing my pages, so easy, so simple but gorgeous!

Here is the sketch I used:

And here is my take on the sketch:

More to come...enjoy!

Playing this weekend

Working at the store all weekend allowed me to play! I have been getting tons of new product and I wanted to make some samples for the store. We have received so gorgeous lines! We got last week 3 collections from Memory Works including "100 days of Summer". The entire line lasted less than 10 days, I just reordered the entire collection, I figure it is not even summer yet and it is almost gone!

Here is some pictures of the new product and some samples I made:

New Layouts

I am so happy that I finally have time to scrapbook! The last six months have been a wild ride, but we are so blessed with all the new people we have met,the success of the store...and I am loving it!

Here is some of my recent layouts:

This one I created with the left over paper of the January page of the month kit from Basic Grey, I found a picture of my mother when she was about my age and then I found a picture of me almost posing exactly the same way! I am like her in so many ways and at times a catch myself doing some of her manerisms, even talking like her...I miss her so much!
Photobucket
This next one is also using the left overs from the same kit, when I like a collection, I am very frugal and use it to the last tiny piece of scrap, this one is the Galvez Family at Christmas time! It is always such a joy to spend Christmas with them,I am blessed to have this great family!
Photobucket Photobucket
This next one is the real page of the month layout, I picked pictures of me and my daughter.
Photobucket Photobucket
I got to go to bed, I will post some more tomorrow or this weekend!

March Reveals - Hello Sunshine Kit

I am finally able to scrap after quite of few months of pure craziness, been extremely busy with the store opening. I love both kits this month but the Hello Sunshine is my favorite, beautiful colors, very pretty spring line. Some people might find difficult to use this line for themes other than a girly girl, but I am here to show you how you can use this line with pretty much any pictures. Most of my reveals are boy pages and here is what I did:

~ So cute
Here is my 15 year old son, he came out in a Quinceanera which is like a Sweet 16 party but is when the girl turns 15. I used a Valerie Salmon sketch from Got Sketch? Is he cute or what?
Photobucket

~ Party Time
Here is my son again with his best friend ready to leave for the party, I enjoyed a hug from him too! I used a lovely sketch from Creative Scrappers, Sketch #142 designed by Amarilys Doria.
Photobucket

~ Happy Family
Here is a layout using Family pictures from different occasions this last year, I used the March 20th sketch challenge sketch from Page Maps
Photobucket

~ Adore
Here is the only girl layout done with this kit and it is not pink! I used another awesome sketch from Creative Scrappers # 144 designed by the super talented Aphra Bolyer.
Photobucket

~ Bee Happy
My youngest son up in a tree at the park, I used another sketch from Kristine Davidson designed exclusively for Scrapbook Daisies, can you tell I just love using sketches??
Photobucket

I hope you liked my reveals! I for sure enjoyed working with the March Hello Sunshine kit and my boy's pictures!
