Class pic and SC Elmwood Park

Earlier this month, I went on a weekend retreat with 15 or 16 other scrapbookers. I only got 11 layouts done over the 2.5 days but I really like all of them. Everything on this LO was from the SC Elmwood Park kit again except the SC veneers and the background. I made it a couple weeks ago after watching some videos from Wilna Furstenberg's Art Class at 2peas. I backed some stars in the new Prima star stencil with washi tape before misting the background paper. I then used various stamps in the unmisted spots and traced around the perimeter of the stars with a pen

Pic is of my son's second grade class which spawned a large set of friends that still hang out whenever they can now

Silly and Sweet - SC Elmwood Park

 Pics are my kid dancing and playing with silly bands in our driveway complete with mismatched pajamas.

I used the SC Elmwood Park kit and add-ons (July 2012) which was my first. The color in the photo is off on the second one but thought I'd post both. The first was the layout when I originally completed it. The second is the result of my tinkering when I decided it just wasn't done. The die-cuts were bought in the SC shop and were leftover stock from their June 2012 kits. Everything else was from the kits

Scraptastic Kit Club - July kit layout

I got my first kit from Scraptastic last month. August turned out to not be colors I loved (so I skipped - love that I have that option) BUT, I thought July kits were gorgeous and I am loving the look of September's too! 
Anyway, this LO includes FP and EP PP , EP stickers, with OA washi Q&Co candy, and SC veneers as well as Ormolu for ST flair and the ST PL cards

Pics are from when my then-3-y.o manged to put a gash in his skull and they wrapped a bandage around his head to hold on the numbing gel before stapling his head :P

I want to be a cowboy....

This set of pages wasn't really created as a 2-page spread but more as 2 1 page layouts that work together since each child "stars" in a page :P Pretty much all papers and stickers on these are OA Sasparilla. But, I also used SC Mr Hueys, AC Thickers, Bazzill CS, Jenni Bowlin ink, and SC cloud stamps w/ Fiskars punches on the right side. The clouds on the left were fussy cut from the OA paper.

TFL and thanks for all the lovely comments on my last post. Will be blog hopping this weekend!

Secret Agent

I love this picture of my oldest. One hand-me-down trench-coat + some sunglasses = one super cool dude. I was late to the game with buying OA Rocket Age but I loved it so much I finally caved even though I wasn't sure what I'd do with "space" stuff. Turns out I think it works for secret and mysterious stuff too - esp all the cut-out adverts for things like decoder Rings. *LOL* The only non-OA is bling from Kaiser Craft and foam glitter letters from Creative Imaginations

October Afternoon Silly

I did this LO for the first challenge in the New 'Hitchhikers Guide to Scrapbooking' class from Two Peas and Shimelle Laine. I picked out a bunch of stuff from the older October Afternoon Nightlight line. I ended up using what I picked for the most part- but sometimes it was because I switched sides of the paper. And I originally had a dark blue paper mat but wasn't liking it that well and got the bright idea to get out the masks and glimmer mists to make a fake mat instead.

I really like how this LO came out and I am pretty pleased at using some older stash I'd been hoarding :P
