Layouts 22 & 23

Well the summer has flown by and the kids went back to school today.  I can't believe it.  My middle son started kindergarten today.  He was so adorable walking to school with his brother.  I ordered the pics tonight...can't wait to scrap them!  I have actually been pretty busy in my craft room lately...could be my new ctmh goodies or all the fabulous paper I have picked up at Tina's new store Scrappin Happins!  I hope she posts pics for everyone soon as she really has a great space!  She's been working hard and it's really paid off.  Of course I don't have those layouts photographed yet so I'll share these ones for now :)

This layout was the first time I have ever embossed chipboard.  I really like the effect and it tied it together.  I still have stardust paper left :)  I need to stop buying retired papers on clearance.  Do you hoard papers?  I'm really getting much better at not collecting but using!!


This was a promo last year...Felicity I think.  I love fall and we always have a ton of pics!  I only got 2 of these kits...that's an improvement right? LOL!
 I inked and stamped our colour ready alpha's with the flourish from stamps set that came with the kit.  I didn't do a whole lot with this layout in terms of embellishment. Sometimes I really like a simple clean layout.   I took Tresa Black's class at convention and picked up some great tips for clustering embellishments that I can't wait to try.  Might help me jazz things up a bit :)

  1. Love these Jenn, especially the Lincoln Gardens one! Felicity is a great kit...I still have some to use. I like simple, clean lines as well....sometimes less is more. Your pumkin is really cute! The Stardust layout is really cute too....and yes, I am a paper hoarder. We should start a support group! lol

  2. Sorry I missed these, they are great! I looooove stardust, only have scraps of that one left. Felicity is harder for me, I've only used a bit, but I've used the stamp set a lot recently. Love what you did with the alphas, and your pumpkin is so gorgeous!

    I tried to log into Chapter Geek, but I'm not having any luck. What are you reading lately? Oh, and please bug Tina to post some pics of her store, I would LOVE to see it!
