Crazy Stupid Love Layout - The Scrapbook Store September Sketch - Lily Bee - Purple Pumpkin





I got this layout done for the sketch challenge over at
The Scrapbook Store HERE.


I've had these silly photos floating around forever & I
knew this was their chance to shine :)

September 2012 Sketch Competion

That stamping you see is using my new bubblewrap 
stamp that I WON during a blog hop - it's from Donna
Salazar & is REALLY AMAZING - I'm sure you can
see what I mean - beautifully designed to give great texture.


I punched out some hearts from a couple of the stickers
to make matching embellishments.


I add an image of the punch shape onto the paddle so that
when my punches are all standing up in their basket I can
see the design without having to lift them all up.


Cami has such a fun time with her brothers.  She LOVES 
and HATES having two older brothers but when they have
fun they REALLY laugh :-D


All the stickers are from Lily Bee Design & I've embellished
 with some Purple Pumpkin twine & a lovely bright bottle 
cap button.


Instead of using the bunting stickers to make a pennant banner
I used them as triangles instead - geometrics being so on trend.


I love that I have got through a few pre-printed photos
(happened when my computer was away being repaired
so I had no access to my printer).  I really need to use them
more often rather than always printing new ones :)

Helen, thanks for your words on my blog :-) Firstly, I have to say what an utterly adorable lot of photographs - this middle one with the laughter and smiles just made me chuckle, its gorgeous! Such priceless memories... and you have scrapped them magically, love your layout. It 'shines' too, like the photographs!
