My Mind's Eye & Scrapbookers Anonymous

I have two layouts to share today that I am entering into two different challenges. First up is my entry for the latest My Mind's Eye sketch challenge. I loved the sketch and couldn't wait to scrap these cute photos of Paige swinging! I used a felt flourish mask and mist for the background. All patterned papers and embellishments (except the alphas) are MME's Stella and Rose line. These pictures are actually from April, but the page had to relate to "fall," so I turned into a fall-ish layout.


I cut leaves from patterned paper. I wasn't too sure about it at first, but I love how they turned out. I just drew them freehand and cut them out. I inked them and scrunched them up a little and added a few lines.




Next up is the layout I created for the October challenge at Scrapbookers Anonymous. This one involved using die-cuts. I have been wanting to scrap this cute picture of Paige in her monkey pajamas, and I knew I wanted to use that adorable little monkey from the Create a Critter cartridge. It almost matches perfectly! I used the ever-popular bubble wrap and paint to create my dotted background. I wanted the monkey & the photo to be the focus, so I didn't add too much else besides a few papers & flowers.



Thanks for looking! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
