Agua Dulce group's June layouts

First of all, sorry about the quality of the pictures, I didn't want to take them out of the protectors with the little man around.


The first layout using Sarsparilla is Cherish Rise 'n Shine (page 108). It calls for three 4"x4" and three 5"x3" but I made mine a little bigger than that.









This second layout uses Whoops-A-Daisy and is from Imagine, Supporting Cast page 98. Here's an opportunity to get lots of pictures on your layout. It calls for two 4"x6", nine 2"x2", one 4"x4" and two 6"x4" pictures. I substituted one 6"x6" photo for one of the 4"x6" and three 2"x2" inch photos. This layout we will learn third generation stamping with rolling.

Finally, the May layouts!!!!!!!!

Ladies, here are the Lancaster group's May layouts. Sorry it's taken so long to post, but things have been pretty busy around here.

This first one is the new Whoops - A- Daisy paper and Imagine Stars Above (page 92). It calls for one 7.5 x 7.5 photo, one 9 x 7 photo, one 2.5 x 4.5 photo, one 3.5 x 5 photo, and 5 2.5 x 2.5 photos. Of course, you can always change things around a bit and use other size pictures.

This next one is using the new Sarsparilla papers and the Reflections book. The left side is Title Topper - Heading (page 17). It calls for one 6 x 4 and two 3.5 x 3.5 photos.

The right side is Sidebar - Original (page 40). It calls for two 4 x 6 photos and one 3 x 3 photo (or you can use that as a journaling spot, like I did (haven't journaled yet, of course)

We will be learning three different techniques this month, Stamp Kissing (like in the Daddy's Helper title), Stamp Rolling (Slide into Summer title) and heat embossing (the black thingy between the 2 photos on the right). Be prepared to have some fun!

Finished Easter Layout

Ok Ladies. Here is the Lancaster groups finished Easter layout. It's an Imagine layout Rhapsody. The pictures are four 3x5.5, one 5x7, one 7x5 and two 3x3. If you click on the picture it will enlarge and you can see the stamping on the bottom.

Enjoy and as soon as we nail down a date and time, I'll send an email out letting you know.

Group Challenge

OK, ladies, for those of you who weren't able to make the first meeting, I've given you a challenge, should you choose to accept it.

Make a layout about the "Things you love." It can be any size you want. Hopefully, you'll use something you love in doing it. Love, love, love those craft buttons! This is what I came up with and for once, didn't lift it from anyone. Yeah me! I know it's hard to see, but I wrote about some of the things I love and why I made this layout.

Anyway, I hope you play and the winner of the best layout will receive a fabulous prize! OK, so it's not the winning lottery ticket, but still will be good!

Lancaster group April layouts

Wow, both kids napped at the same time and hubby went to work. You can see what I did today. The left page of Expedition has a 6x4, and two 4x4. The right side has one 4x6, one 4x4 and one 4x3

The Sweet Pea layout is from Imagine, Rhapsody. Sorry, there are some weird sizes but the left side has one 5x7, two 3x5.5 and one 3x3. The right side has one 7x5, one 3x3 and three 3x5.5. It will look better when I have pictures for it. Easter is in 2 weeks and it's Aaron's first one. Once I have pictures and it's finished I'll repost it.

Agua Dulce group April layouts

Ladies, Here are the two layouts we will be doing at Sue's house in April. I totally was inspired, ok I straight up copied another CTMH consutlant, Yvonne P's layout. Thanks Yvonne! The Sweet pea is a combo of two different Imagine layouts, the left page is Sideline Surprise (space for an 8x10, it is Easter after all) and the right is from Powerful Trios (three 3x3 photos). The It's a Guy Thing layout has two 4x6, two 6x4 and one 4x5.

I hope you like them.
