All the Heart Eyes - A Stick It Down sketch

And just like that, it's Monday again.

But at least it is more fall-like in Middle Tennessee today!

I have a page using some new, fallish papers today that I created with a sketch from Stick it Down. I recently bought this stack from Michael's - it was one of their "hot deals." I have some plans for it and a happy mail soon... But in the meantime, I figured I could pull the non-fall papers out and use them for my boys. I love this *on trend* color pallet of orange and blue lately. It always reminds me of my high school alma mater.

Here is the original sketch:

And I definitely can't take credit for the title. I've seen it a few different places recently, but I will say the first place I ever saw it was from a young girl, Megan, in our Scrap Gals Facebook group. I gushed over it and she said, "You can use it!" And I've been waiting for the perfect time! I use the heart eyes emoji for my loves all the time!

I loved the background behind the photos in the sketch, but I didn't want flowers on my page of my baby in the tub, so I used a free cut file I had downloaded, and just welded it together a few times on my cricut. I tied some ribbons on it for some texture. I didn't have any blue letters, and I didn't want a cut title, but I remembered I had these double-sided sticky Thickers, and some blue glitter - boom perfect!

This little dude has grown so much since he sat back in a baby bath tub! **Insert all the crying eyes!**

Supplies:
Paper - Craftsmith at Michael's Pumpkin Spice
Thickers - American Crafts
Orange Alphas - Studio Calico

Bath Babe

Happy weekend, friends!

Just a quick pop in to share a fun little layout I did of my bathtime babe. I took this photo on my iPhone at bathtime a few weeks ago & really loved it. I started the layout with a completely different idea (from a colorful mood board), but changed my mind! I wanted a brighter, whiter layout to really focus on this sweet baby face.

I delved into my scrap paper stash and used some oldie papers. I also used a fun, free cut file from the lovely blog Spiegal Mom Scraps. That little scribble circle is such fun!

The dots were created with perler beads. Such a fun and easy little trick.

Supplies:
White cardstock: Bazzil
Animal paper - Creative Imaginations
Rainbow paper, washi and alphas - Studio Calico
Doily - Michaels Recollections

A mood board page - St. Patty's day green!

Today's challenge at Scrapbook Challenges is a March mood board.

I love the colors & they are perfect for my newborn son's baby album.

I used a 12x12 Studio Calico paper pad & cut down the papers. I especially love the green flower embellishments I picked up on clearance at Hobby Lobby!

Hope you're inspired to create today!

Meet Papa - A SBC sketch

Today over at Scrapbook Challenges there's a great sketch for your Monday inspiration!

Here is my interpretation - I changed the 12x12 sketch to 8.5x11 for my son's baby scrapbook.

The journaling talks about how Lachlan was supposed to be due on my dad's birthday (even thought I've always thought that was wrong), but he would NEVER make it that long because I have giant babies and because of a scheduled c-section. Papa was just a little excited to meet him anyway!

I hope you create your own layout inspired by this sketch.
