Trouble Makers!

Happy Happy Saturday! What a beautiful fall day! Any big plans for your weekend? I did but I have so much to do around the house I'm kinda just chillin at home, which is good too ;) I have another layout to share! Ok sooo my mom (Debbie) and my son (Kyle) have started this new thing where they love to make fun of me and then just start giggling away! They throw things at me, like I'm not talking like pillows or soft things of that nature, we're talking big honkin oranges and things like that! I'm like if you're gonna throw food at me, at least make it something with frosting so I have something tasty to lick off myself jeez. Anyhoo, here's the layout of the big bullies;

 

I used all new Heidi Swapp products, her new line Mixed Company and Navy Color Shine.

Also threw in some new American Crafts Thickers.

 

I made this little interactive piece to hide another picture and journaling, so easy you just fold a piece of paper over! Voila!

 

Some luscious layering;

 

In the collection there are these new adorable little rubons that resemble sequins, and I thought it would be cute to put mint green stars on every other hump on the white embossed frame! It looks super cute! Just a fun little tidbit ;)

 

If you just sprinkle some of the Color Shine on and then offset it with a few of the rubon sequins that looks really cute too! Adds some flat dimension.

 

So there ya have it! It feels so good to create some pages! I hate when you get in a busy rut in life and your head is constantly swimming with ideas and you just cant seem to sit and make something! That is one good thing about winter in Illinois is that you don't have the pressure of having to be outside all the time. I do love the outdoors, I just like to be inside too sometimes because that's where my scrap studio is lol!

 

So have a wonderful Saturday! Get busy and make something woodja?!

 

Thank you for stopping by!

 

Love Rah

Charming Boy

Hey paper peeps! How is your super Saturday?! Mine is wonderful! My mom & dad visited for a lunch cookout, my mom & I went to Hobby Lobby, and I get to create tonite woohoo! Such a beautiful day. I wanted to share a layout with you! Over at the Crate Paper Blog they are having a  challenge, to use navy blue and sequins, 2 items that have been pretty high on my list lately ;) As I was going through my Crate Paper stash, I started seeing all of these "blue" bits & pieces that I loved, sooo my layout's pretty much all blue. Like totally monochromatic blue... like lots and lots of blue. Like if you don't care for the color blue, stop scrolling..

 

This photo is my son Brandon (whom I call Beeb), and he just kills me. In one second he's charming and handsome, and literally in the same second he's dribbling tater chips out of his mouth. I don't know how he does it, must be a boy thing...

 

 

Such a looker...

 

I usually don't do a lot of stamping on my layouts, basically because I'm skeered. I don't want to spend all this time on a layout and then screw it up because of a little smudge, which would drive me absolutely bonkers for all eternity, ya feelin me? People may not see it, but I'll know it's there. I got out the stamps I wanted to use, got my little ink out, and as I was peeling one of my stamps off of the clear thing, a piece of it ripped totally off! I sqwished it back onto the clear block, and I can't believe it, but you can't even tell. It's like a stamping miracle. Due to the anxiety of the whole thing I literally had to step outside for a breath of fresh air. I mean this is serious stuff folks. After awhile I just told myself to stop being such a sissy and get on with it! And you know what? It worked out ;) You just need to commit. Commitment. That's a whooole other blog post..

 

Go on over to the Crate Blog, grab the info and play along! And remember- scrapbooking should not make you hyperventilate. Grab your stamps, and suck it up sister!

 

Love, Rah
