Days to Remember Layout

Northborough holds an Applefest weekend every year in September. There are so many events that weekend to check out - 5K road race, street fair, farmer's market, barbeque, fireworks, etc... This year it was pretty rainy on Saturday but we still managed to check out as many events as possible.

The inspiration for this layout came from this layout from Even More Scrapping. You can see this sketch along with others here.

I converted the layout from 12" x 12" to 8 1/2" x 11" and modified the photo sizing to work with the new layout size. I challenged myself to use the September Paper Pumpkin kit for the layout. I like being able to use the supplies I get in this kit for other than intended uses. I did some tone-on-tone stamping of leaves on the background cardstock. The large "log" element was cut out of one of the card bases. The stickers for the title came from the Sweet Days of Autumn paper pack sticker sheet.

Crisp Autumn Days Layout

We have been going apple picking at Tougas Farms close to every year since we moved to Northboro. We go there specifically so Meghan can get the Crimson Topaz apples they love and I can get some good ones for making apple pie (usually Cortlands). We decided to go this year during the week when it would be less crowded and both Meghan and Nicole wouldn't be at work. It was a perfect day and we had a great time! I pulled out papers, cardstock, and stamps from the Autumn to Remember Suite from Stampin' Up for this and love how it came out!

The inspiration for this layout came from this layout I found on Pinterest. 

I converted the layout from 12" x 12" to 8 1/2" x 11" and modified the photo sizing to work with the new layout size. The title and leaf embellishments were stamped using the Autumn to Remember stamp set. I inked the edges of the circles with Early Espresso Ink. I added some ribbon and dots to embellish the layout.

Selfies Layout

This layout was done during Wednesday's Scrapbook with me event. I accidentally left my phone unattended during a recent event and came back to find about 20 of these selfies on my camera roll taken by Meghan and Nicole. I know I should be more careful but always enjoy seeing these fun pictures of my kids! I dug into my stash of the Soda Pop collection to create this,

The inspiration for this layout came from this layout I found on Pinterest. 

I converted the 12" x 12' 2-page layout to an 8 1/2" x 11" 2-page layout. I adjusted the paper sizing and photo sizing to work with the new layout size. The title was cut using my Cricut. The embellishments came from the sticker sheet from the Soda Pop collection along with elements from my stash.

Halloween Card and Treat Holder

It's October now so time to get ready for Halloween. I enjoy this time of year and had fun working with the Stampin' Up Potions and Spells Bundle to create this card and treat holder. I usually give out treats to my coworkers for Halloween as we have a fun time celebrating the holiday where I work.

The card was inspired by this sketch from Freshly Made Sketches. You can see this sketch along with others here.

To make the card I used Basic Black as the base. I cut the Basic White layer and used a die from the Stylish Shapes set to die cut the circle from it. I took a piece of Smoky Slate, used the Exposed Brick embossing folder to emboss it and then went over the embossing with Tuxedo Black Ink. I die cut the cauldron, bubbles, and books then stamped them using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. They were colored in using Stampin' Blends. The spill over was die cut from the Festive Glimmer paper.

The treat holder was made by die cutting 2 cauldrons then taking a strip of 3" wide cardstock which I adhered between the 2 die cuts using Tear & Tape adhesive, I die cut and colored the embellishments for the treat holder as I did with the card and added them on both sides of the cauldron. This makes a cute and fun treat holder that is easy to make and embellish!

I hope you like the card and treat holder! Thanks for stopping by!
