Let's Go Layout

Our basset hound doesn't like car rides, but he loves going for RZR rides. I'm documenting that today with this Let's Go Layout. 

 

We had taken Kevin for lots of rides around our house on paved roads, but we'd never taken him on the trails in the Black Hills before. We weren't sure if he'd like it, but he loved it.  He likes to lean way out the window and sniff all the things. 

 

 

For this layout, I chose a little bit older collection from Paper House called Discover USA. It might be a little older, but it is still one of my favorites. The rich colors and road trip travel them are just so fun. The bold patterns are easy to work with and, because it's Paper House, there are lots of great coordinating stickers.

Life is definitely better with a basset hound!

Travel Layout

 Today I have a travel layout created from something a little different. First, here's the layout. 

 

Paper House and Goldmine & Coco collaborated to create a Bible journaling kit. I enjoy Bible journaling, so  I ordered it as soon as it released. I really planned on using it just for Bible journaling, but I happened to be scrapping photos from Lutherstadt Wittenburg when the kit showed up. I got the idea that it might just be perfect for scrapping some photos from our day walking in the steps of Luther.

The colors in this kit are gorgeous. They are soft and rich and make the perfect background for photos or Bible journaling. The included papers are 6"x 9", so I needed a 12" x 12" piece of card stock for the base of the layout. I used a white and grey piece of Marbelous paper that complimented the colors from the Bible journaling kit without taking the focus away from the kit paper.

I really loved working with this kit, and can't wait to use it for a bit of Bible journaling and card making in the future.

Octoberfest Scrapbooking Layout

I have one last layout using the October kit from Scrapbooking Store.You can find the first layout I created by clicking here and the second layout here. Here is my Octoberfest Scrapbooking Layout.  

 

We have a fun group of neighbors that gets together every year for a barbecue competition. Last year it just happened to be on October 31, so we had a fun Halloween/Octoberfest theme. 

When I got the October kit from Scrapbooking Store, I immediately thought of these pictures. The colors and the theme went perfectly. I did add a few Germany themed stickers not from the kit (they are from Paper House).

Family Traditions Scrapbooking Layout

Today I have another layout using the October kit from Scrapbooking Store.You can find the first layout I created by clicking here. Here is my Family Traditions Scrapbooking Layout. 

 

You can find everything I used on my layout as part of the October base kit and the upgraded embellishment kit. I especially love the "our family traditions" sticker (that is included in the base kit). I thought the owl paper was kind of fun, since this was a nighttime photo.

There's a great corn maze just minutes from our house (it changes to a different design every year). The year we took this photo was the first time we decided to do it after dark. We had fun, but decided we kind of like doing it during the day when we can actually see the maze.

October Scrapbooking Kit

It's October which means a new kit from Scrapbooking Store. So far I've created 5 layouts with this month's kit. I'll share 3 of them here, and the other 2 you'll be able to find on the Scrapbooking Store's website later this month. My first layout with the October scrapbooking kit is this Movember scrapbooking layout.

 

This month's base kit features Echo Park Fall is in the Air paper and card stock stickers. This collection is full of rich fall colors and woodsy autumn patterns. You'll find lots of pumpkins, leaves, acorns, and woodland creatures in this collection.

For this layout, I used both the base kit and embellishments from the upgraded embellishment kit. I especially love the burlap looking tags included in embellishment upgrade. They work great for journaling and as design elements. The only thing you won't find in the kit or embellishment upgrade are the alphas that I used for my title (those are from a prior Scrapbooking Store kit).

My husband often enjoys Movember or No Shave November. This was a fun "who wore it better" picture he took with our black lab, Steve. Steve has since passed away, but photos like this make my heart so happy.
