Celebration Scrapbook Layout!

Me again :)
Twice in one week! I know-crazy!!!
So this month is my last scrap club month :( Makes me sad. I have had a blast these past 6 months with these 14 ladies!!! I will miss them and our laughs!
So Stampin' Up usually has about 10 Simply Scrappin' kits in their cattys. This catty only had 4 which I must admit was a little disappointing. BUT it forced me to get a little creative. SO, I purchased SU's Celebration DSP, 4 different colour 12x12paper and the Celebration Quick Accents. VOILA!!!! Here are the 4 layouts I came up with. I adore the Celebration paper!! It's bright and SUPER fun!!! Colours are awesome. I'm a new fan of Pacific Point!!
I hope you like them :)

Take care.

Happy Hallowe'en!!!

Well well well---
What a great Hallowe'en day we have had!! Today is also my husband's birthday so it's always a busy day for us in our household.
This was a layout we did in my Simply Scrappin' club. It uses the SU kit Good Times. I made the cute little pumpkins with oval punches. Neat little idea I cased off someone. I thought a pumpkin patch layout was fitting for this time of year.
Hope you like it. All it needs is a title and I'm done!!

I have also added a few pics from our day today. Enjoy.

Pumpkin Patch!

Hello all!

Well it's the start of another new week. Where does time go? Soon the kids will be back to school. Summer seems to fly by. I only just did this layout from the pumpkin patch last year and before we know it we will be picking our pumpkins for this year!! I ADORE the retired Stampin' Up! Halloween paper....Ghostly Greetings (I think it was called that). So fun to use. I have yet to make a title (always seems to take me for ever!) but you get the jist right? LOL.

Thanks for having a look today :)
Enjoy your week.
Paula :)

Back in the scrappin' groove!!!

Good day all and HAPPY MONDAY!! (is there such a thing ??? LOL)

I have finally started scrapbooking again and my club starts up this week! (YAHOO!)
I'm soooo excited to have some fresh faces in my club. Some have NEVER scrapbooked before and that makes me soooo excited!! Others have been in my club since day 1 and I thank them for that!! We always have a great time when we are together. A LOT of laughs for sure!!

This is a layout I did a while ago and realized I haden't posted! This was last year with my girls apple picking (obviously!). We LOVE to go apple picking! So much fun every year and loads of apple treats to be made when we return. My hubby and I even made apple pie and if you know us, that's HUGE!

The paper used here is from SU's retired paper Bella Rose (love it STILL) and Real Red card stock. I also used my Cricut for the title, apple and apple tree. Cute hey?
I hope you guys like it!!!
Thanks as always for visiting :)
Much appreciated and enjoy your week.

My daughter the chef........

Well, to go to convention or not to???? That is the question. Some days I'm all over it....other days I think maybe I'll just stalk people's blogs like I normally do! This layout was inspired by a layout I saw on a convention board on someones blog. SO, if you are the creator of a CHEF layout that looks something like the LEFT layout above---THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION!!! I created this layout using the GUEST BOOK Simply Scrappin' Kit by SU. I just added some Ridinghood Red paper and ribbon as an additional colour because the kit is pretty black, white and grey for me.
I hope you like the layout and I'm sorry the picture really doesn't do it much justice.

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend with the ones you love :)
Take care---Paula :)

Finally a Halloween post!!

So by now you can probably guess that I'm not much for Halloween (which is horrible because it's my husband's birthday on Halloween). I am ALL ABOUT CHRISTMAS!!! I finally got around to doing a Halloween layout using the Guest Book Simply Scrappin' Kit by SU. If you know the kit I am talking about it's geared towards weddings......I am not into scrapping our wedding. I thought the one DSP looks Halloween-ish so I went with it. What do you think???
This was Halloween last year. I can't wait to take the girls this year. It will be sooo fun!!!! They will love it as will I!!

Thanks for popping by today!!

Guest Book Kit

HEY Ladies:

So I have a monthly scrappin' club that I just LOOOOOVE!!! We have so much fun and everyone is so into their creations. This month we are getting together in a weeks time so I thought I'd post something we will be making. The kit Guest Book is completely intended for scrapping a wedding BUT I only scrap my kids lives SO I had to be a little creative and switch it up a bit. On one of the convention boards I saw a beautiful winter layout using SU's Snowflake #2 die (Pg 202 of the IBC). To whom ever created such a beautiful layout, it was my inspiration!! I obviously have yet to add pictures BUT once the snow hits (which I hear we will get hit hard this year) I will then add my pics! I think that black and white winter shots would really look nice. It's such a simple layout and wintry isn't it? I hope you like it!
Thanks so much for stopping by. Kiddies are back to school next week so I wish you all a happy labour day weekend.

Take care.

Another SUNNY DAYS layout!

Hey you!

So as I mentioned I would post a Sunny Day layout and well..here it is!! I have yet to add a title BUT I liked how it turned out. This kit is just too easy to use! You can't go wrong. These particular pictures were taken this past May on our deck. Notice what my daughter is wearing. A full "jogging" suit with a vest. It was so cold still and it was the END of May!!! What a summer we've had (or lack there of I should say).

Sorry this one's a short post. Too much to do and never enough hours in the day. I hope you enjoy your week!!!

Take care and see you soon.

PONY TAILS!

Happy Friday everyone!

I am on vacation this week and I can't even believe how fast the week has gone. Why does a work week go so slow and yet a vacation week flies by? NOT FAIR! OK there's my rant for the day.

This was a layout I did last month for my scrappers club. I used the Sunny Day kit and JUST LOVED IT!!! This kit is sooooo easy to work with and it's beautiful! These pictures were taken of Berlynn a couple of months ago with her first ponytails in! So cute hey? I think so!!!

Well I will be posting some more scrappin kit layouts in a few days so be sure to check back in ok?

Thanks for popping by!

Love Sparkles Layout!

Hey all and Happy Monday???
No Monday is ever happy is it? KIDDING.

OK so I'm hard core into scrapbooking. I have a club that meets monthly (thank goodness because I would be so behind if it wern't for them) and this was a layout we did this month. It uses the Love Sparkles Kit from SU and I just loved the kit. Ummmm, maybe that's because it has pink and brown in it???!!! My favourite combo!
These Simply Scrappin' Kits are a great way to scrapbook because EVERYTHING matches. You just can't go wrong. I love them!!!

I thank you for popping by today and enjoy your day what ever you may be doing.
Paula :o)

Love Sparkles Scrappin Kit

Hey all!!

So as most of you are aware Stampin' Up's new catalogue release date is July 1st. I am loving the new catty and can't wait to place my first order on July 1st!!! YIPPEE. This scrappin' kit was in the "old" catty and has made it to the new one. It's soooooo nice plus the fact that it has pink and brown helps. My favourite! This layout is one I did for my scrapbook club. We will meet in July and I can hardly wait. Anyhow, I thought I'd share it with you.

Take care and happy stamping.

Daddy's Girl

Hello there all!!

Well this officially marks the LAST week of my maternity leave. BOOOOO!!!!!!!! So sad, so very sad!! I return to work after being off for a year on Mon Dec 1st which if you can believe it is next Monday!!!! What ever will I do??? DEPRESSING!

OK, I must pull myself together. Onto the post. This is another layout I did for my scrappers club using the Pina Colada Kit. Simple layout really. I ADORE this picture I took of my hubby with my baby Berlynn just getting out of the tub. I developed it in black and white which I think was a great idea too. LOVE IT!! I just need a couple more to put on the right side of the layout. I hope you like it!!

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Think of me as I enjoy my last week with my girls.

Take care,
Paula :)

ANOTHER Pumpkin Patch Page

Hello all!!

OK so I know you JUST saw a pumpkin patch lay out BUT I have 2 daughters therefore I have to scrap for both right? Here is my pumpkin patch lay out for my youngest daughter. Again this lay out uses SU's Pina Colada Simply Scrappin Kit (with a few added bits here and there). I stamped on this lay out. Usually when I use the kits I don't often stamp. I just HAD to add in the leaves and pumpkins though. Seems to work don't you think?

I cased this lay out from CINDY. Check out her blog here to see some of her stuff.

Thanks for popping by today and have a good one!!

Pina Colada Pimpkin Patch

Hey hey hey!!!

So I said I'd post my pumpkin patch scrapbook layout using their Pina Colada SU Kit and well.....here it is!! I always envision a pumpkin patch page done in orange but the yellow from this kit seemed to work perfectly!! I think so anyway LOL. If you are looking to scrap your fall events, I highly recommend getting this kit. The colours in it are beautiful and are so autumn like. The flowers in it are a bit on the Hawaiian side (which I LOVE but a bit bright and busy for fall) BUT other than that, perfect for fall events.


Thanks so much for visiting me today. Enjoy your day!!

Apple Picking

Hello all!!!

Well, it's been a while since I've posted any scrapbook pages. I have been keeping up but forgetting to photograph them. So you may be seeing an over load of scrapbooking coming your way tee hee.

This page is of course apple picking at a place called Appleland. Such a wonderful place for kids. You take a train ride out to the apple orchard and there is also a pumpkin patch as well as animals. So fun!! For this layout I used the Pina Colada Simply Scrappin kit by SU. Such a great kit for fall outings. Later on in the week I will post our pumpkin patch trip. It also uses the Pina Colada kit. Love those kits (as I have said a million times now- haha).

Thanks so much for stopping by and happy stamping.

Strawberry Picking with Daddy

Hey ladies (and whomever men may be looking-ha ha)

So I am still running my Scrappers club and I am just loving it so much. I love getting together with the girls monthly. So fun.

This layout uses the U R Sweet Simply Scrappin' Kit from SU. Hope you like it. It still needs a title of course but I have to add titles to 50% of my pages still!! LOL!

Thanks so much for looking today!

TUB TIME!!

YAHOO it's the weekend!!
I just had my crazy Christmas Scrap Night last night and WHOA....so fun!! A great bunch of ladies came out to make a couple mini Christmas scrapbooks. I will post those pictures when I take em'. So super cute and made using Stampin' Up's Simply Scrappin' Kit called I Wish.

Speaking of Simply Scrappin Kits here is another layout using Summer Home. This is my little Berlynn at 7months having a bit of Tub Time. Ain't she darling?? Anyhow as usual....LOVE THOSE KITS!!

Thanks for checking in today!! Enjoy the weekend!

Another Scrappin' Layout!!

Hey ladies,

Well today is baby group day and I love love love Wednesdays for that! Always fun to have coffee with a bunch of gals (and out babies) and discuss life! Nothing beats it!

This is a layout we did at my scrappin' club last month. Also so much fun getting together to create and chat. These pages are of Berlynn (8 months now!!) chillin' out in her crib. I wanted to showcase her room as a baby so she can look back at what we brought her home to. I think it's a pretty cozy room. She seems to like it too!!

This kit is from the old catalogue and I love it!!

Thanks so much for checking in today!

Another Simply Scrappin Kit

HAPPY TUESDAY!!!

Hope you are all well!!!
As you know I am really into Stampin Up's Simply Scrappin Kits. They are just so easy to use it's fool proof!!! Even if you stick something down and don't like it NO PROBLEM....just peel it off. As easy as that!! This layout uses the Summer Home kit and I am loving those flowers. I still need to add a title to it but other than that it's good to go into Chloe's book. I took these pictures of her and they made me think "she's growing up so fast." I think she looks older than 3 in these shots. I'm so not ready for the girls to grow up!! OK enough of that. I hope you enjoy!!

Until next time......

Jacksonville Zoo

Hey all and happy Friday!!

So has everyone survived their first week of routine??? I will tell you one thing, when the kids go back to school traffic is horrible!! I am dead serious.
Well like I said in my previous post, I finally had some time to get some scrapbooking done. Again this layout uses the Summer Home Simply Scrappin' Kit from SU.

Today is short and sweet. Have a fantastic weekend everyone.
