Birthday Bash Layout

I have been working on using up some older paper. ( So I can buy more!) This layout was made using a level 1 paper pack called Birthday Bash. The letters were cut with my Sizzix- Round-A-Bout Sizzlits set. I would love to hear your thoughts. Scrap Happy Brenda

Moon Doggie layout

So another layout from our trip to the graduation.  On of the family had a beautiful house and pool and that was where the party was. The kids had a great time swimming. wish it was nice enough to go swimming right now! The paper is an older paper called Moon Doggie.  I also used the stamp set Paradise and Crandberry Gros Grain ribbon.  Thnaks for stopping by.  Scrap Happy!

Lucky Layout

 So as you can see I am a little behind. It is a cold and windy day today so it is a great day to work on summer pages right? These pictures were taken two summers ago! We were lucky enough to be able to go to the boy's brothers graduation party and see a lot of their family.  Some we have not seen in a long time and some we finally got to meet for the first time after hearing so much about them for all these years. What a fun and nice family. We had a great time.  For this layout I used Lucky paper. The stamp sets are Powder Heaven( thanks Tricia for letting me borrow it), Family Love, and Enjoy Life.  I normally do not use a lot of orange so I was kind of excited about the adding this color.  I also made a 8x8 page for both boys books.

Notebook layout second page

So this layout was made to go with the one from the last post.  The last one was made from a sketch but it was only one page so I made this one to go with it.  The paper was Notebook and the twist ties were from my stash.  I made my notes for this page on the same piece of paper as the last one and I lost it. Sorry  i do not remember the name of the stamp set I used to make the stuff in the center.  Scrap Happy!  Brenda

Notebook layout

I used the Notebook paper pack and Disigner Ribbon Rounds- Twilight Collection for this page.   I copied a sketch form the internet but I lost my notes for this page so I don not know where I got it from.  Sorry.  Thanks for stopping by!

Altered Picture Frame

 I got this Clip Board on clearance at Michael's for 50 cents.  I used Roxie paper, Recollections adhesive Rhinestones, and black gross grain ribbon to fix it up.  I also used the stamp set Picture Perfect.  I plan on putting a picture in it and hanging it up on the wall.  I made the mistake of showing Krista it and then I had to make two because she thought it was cute and wanted one.  Well I an glad she liked it.  We put post-it notes on hers.

Birthday Bash layout

 Well is this paper old or what!  This is a level 1 Birthday Bash pack.  I got it in a mystery box.  I have been trying to use some of my older paper up.  I also made an 8x8 layout for my son's book.  I also used he stamp sets Life is Tweet and one that comes with the Art Philosophy cartridge.  So these pictures were taken two birthdays ago.  I am just a little behind. LOL Thanks for stopping by.  Brenda

Miracle layout

 I have a lot to share today.  First I was able to go to the Son-Life Crop last weekend so I will be sharing some of the stuff I did there.  We had a blast as always and since there was a small group we all got an entire table to our self.

 Second is the great deal this month!  If you spend enough to get the STOM (50 dollars plus 5 for the SOTM) you can get another stamp for 50% off and CTMH will donate to the victims of hurricane Sandy! I am going to do some shopping this month!  http://brendamckerchie.ctmh.com/

Lastly I have a layout to share.  I used Miracle paper and the stamp sets Paradise, and Just Chilling.   I also used Kraft color ready borders and the circle chipboard shapes. The sandcastle is a Sizzlet die cut.  Lastly used a sketch by Susan Stringfellow  www.sketchSavvy.blogspot.com .  Thankyou so much for stopping by and as always I would love to hear your thoughts.  Scrap Happy Every Day!  Brenda
