Blowing Bubbles Scrapbook Layout

The rainy Sunday afternoon was a perfect time for my daughter to slicker up with matching galoshes.

The rainy driveway captured the bubbles and our dog couldn't help by play along!

I took so many great pics of the scene that I decided to run them on the page in sequence.

I picked up the bright colors in her outfit with a sunny patterned paper for the background.

Strips of bright satin ribbon are a great background for my Cricut-cut title and a butterfly sticker accents the paper.

Mad Hatter Scrapbook Page/Layout

You know those sweet snapshots you collect along the way, that don't seem to be enough to make a page on their own? I love pulling together photo collections in theme pages. My first 'Ralls was a set of snap shots of my son in overalls - something pretty prevalent in an infant boy's wardrobe.

This "Mad Hatter" page shows off some of his favorite toppers - from costume to coffee koozie!

Chapungu Scrapbook Pages

So I spent 12 hours in a marathon crop with my new - much more patient - scrapper pal. In addition to a few drink and snack breaks, we completed tons of pages! I don't have a fancy 12x12 scanner, so I had to piece the pages together a bit.

Chapungu was a great exhibit of sculptures hiding within the Missouri Botanical Gardens. I took tons of photos of the exhibition, but had fun capturing Alex & Noble as sculptures within the garden. The bright summer scenes gave me the excuse to break out some fun papers. I pulled in a patterned paper for accents and mattes to add some whimsy to the boxy images and the formal (but funky) gold embossed titles. I also used a clear acrylic frame to highlight the coin Noble tossed into the pond as it was still mid-air.
