Yosemite

Another layout done for a UKS weekly challenge.  Used left over bits from September's gogo kit.

This is one of many photos I took at Yosemite in the summer! 

Monthly Crop

  I did this layout for this weeks UKS challenge.  The challenge was for a French theme or title and to use a sketch amongst other things.  These photos were taken earlier in the year on a day trip to France.

For the layout below I used this weeks sketch on the Sketches{by Tamara} blog.  The sketch is for a single layout but I rotated it and used it again for the right side.  Photos are from a visit to a vineyard in Napa this summer.

I used this months lovely scrapagogo kit for both layouts.

Bat and Ball

  I did this layout yesterday.  I used the sketch on the Sketches by Tamara blog as my inspiration.  I also tied it into the this month last month challenge on Scrapagogo as all the papers, letters and embellishments are from the last 2 kits.

Photos are of my nephew and daughter playing on the beach in the summer.

What is a cat?

  I wouldn't normally put a poem on a layout - nothing wrong with it but it's just not the way I normally scrap.  However this weeks challenge on UKs wanted something scrumptious and a poem so I found this lovely photo of Katherine and Barley and a poem about cats on the internet.

Muir Woods

This is the layout I did yesterday based on another sketch on Tamaras blog.

Just a very simple layout using Septembers studio calico kit.  Given the size of the photos I didn't think it needed much more.

 I did this layout this morning as part of the mojo boosting challenge thread on UKS.  I scraplifted a layout by weetabix which can be found Here.  My version is much simpler though!!

Again the photos are from Muir Woods and I used a mixture the last 2 studio calico kits. 

Baking Time

  I did this layout this morning in between taking and fetching the kids from swimming.  I did it for the UKS weekly challenge.  Normally this isn't a photo I would have scrapped but I was searching for a photo that I could include 'time' in the LO somehow.  I was pleased with the way it turned out and it's nice to have a record of the memory even if there aren't any pictures of the kids.

Used this months gogo kit that arrived yesterday (with a few extra buttons).  The title was done with my cricut and the 'time' was cut using my new graphically speaking cartridge.  The letters weren't standing out enough so I painted behind them.

I did another LO this afternoon but didn't get a chance to take a photo whilst it was still light so I will post that one tomorrow.

More California Layouts

  Some photos taken in San Francisco on our recent holiday.  I used last months gogo kit (except the letters),

 

I love this photo of Rachel and Mike taken at a family meal in Santa Monica.

Another outing for this months Studio Calico kit mixed with last months gogo letters.

Monthly Crop

It was our usual monthly crop today and I managed 3 LO's.

The photos were taken at Muir Woods during our recent holiday.

As with all the layouts I used this months studio calico kit which I am loving.  Becky however doesn't like it because it isn't pink enough!!

Just realised the butterflies were from last months gogo kit!

I used this weeks sketch from the Sketches {by Tamara} blog.

 

These photos of the penguins were again taken on our recent holiday in Seaworld San Diego - love that place.

I used a pencil lines sketch.

 

Another pencil lines sketch and another sea world photo.  We saw this fantastic picture on the wall and Katherine said 'I want that picture on my bedroom wall' so I took a photo of it.  The photo came out much better than I expected so couldn't resist putting it on a layout.

The future astronauts?

This layout was done for this weeks UKS challenge and I used this months studio calico kit which arrived today.

Adore...my family

Here is today's layout.

The photo was taken at Seaworld and the sign in front is our surname!!

I used this months scrapagogo kit with a few extra alpha's.  The tag says 'my family' in case you can't read it.

This one came together really easy - normally I spend ages arranging and rearranging things but this is where the kit really came into it's own.
