September Layouts

I cannot believe that September is almost over, why is time passing so fast??? Am I getting old....DON'T answer that!!!!!  Well September has been a busy month, so far we've made progress on getting the floors replaced, if all goes well it will happen in two weeks.  We also have a new addition to the family.  Yes Cole has adopted a puppy, aka Hollywood.  He has boundless energy, much more than any of the people or other dogs in the house.  Hopefully I will get some good pictures of him soon and ya'll can see him.

Now this month I did do some layouts, so let me show them to you.  First is one I did using September Templatetopia by North Meets South Studios as well as Apples for Teacher Value Bundle and Sunshine Day both by Trixie Scraps Designs.  The photos are of Tucker and his new blankie, and that mean Cooper who insisted on sharing it with him.

Next up is a layout I did using Picture a Family by Trixie Scraps.  The kit was part of the September 2013 Scrap Pack available at Scrap Stacks.  The photos are Callie and Watson, one from when she first got him and one a little more recent.  He has definitely grown into a big boy.

Next up I did a layout using Autumn Spice by Trixie Scraps Designs, Designs by Connie Prince and Aprilisa Designs.  The kit was created as part of the September Art Social Kit for MSA.  The photo is of Callie and Sharla.  It was taken several years ago, but is one of my favorite photos of the two of them.

And last but not least is a layout using New Kid in Class Value Bundle by Trixie Scraps Designs. The photo is something I rarely use, and that is a photo of me.  Yeah that cute chipmunk cheeked girl is me.  We won't talk about how many years ago it was!!!!

I have to say I love all of these kits, so if I were you I would pick them up right away!!!!  For other great kits be sure to check out Trixie Scraps Designs Store.

August Layouts

Ever have one of those months where you had lots of good intentions and yet nothing seemed to get done.  Well welcome to my life!!!  I did some things done, but it seems like it was a month of doctor visits, driving and very little else.  Well I did complete a quilt top, but I will blog about that later.  Right now I want to tell you about the layouts I created this month.

First I have the one I made with this months Templatetopia by North Meets South Studios.  If you love templates like I do, you really should always get these, because  they rock. I also used Spring Fling Value Bundle by Trixie Scraps Designs.  I love the colors in this one!!!!  The photos are Sharla trying out her new "Crow" boot.  It is custom made to fit her foot, so help reduce the chance of any sores.

Next up I made a layout using Remembering You Value Bundle for the photo challenge on Trixie Scraps Blog.  I have been hearing the new song by Carrie Underwood and thought it would make a great layout.  I used pictures of Mom and Dad.  I love the colors in the kit and how they work with both color and black/white photos.

The next layout I used Nature Walk Value Bundle which has a wonderful mix of colors.  I saw a quote on pinterest that I've been wanting to use on a layout, so I did this one for the font challenge at Gingerscraps. I used a photo of Tina and Samuel to go with the quote.

And my last layout for the month used Love in the Garden.  If you are a gnome or frog fan you have to get this kit!!! It is beyond cute and I love the bright cheery colors. I did a scraplift for the scraplift challenge and the original was beautiful and it was by Cutejo1.  I think mine is ok.  I do love the picture of Sharla and Cooper getting a little snuggle time on the back porch.  Can't wait for it to cool down so we can spend some time out there.

That is it for this month, it has been fun.  You should make sure you head over to the Trixie Scraps Shop and pick up these kits soon.  I know you will find lots of great uses for them!!!!

July Layouts

I can't believe July is almost over, it seems like it just started yesterday. I have my July quilt cut out, but not a single block sewn on it. Hopefully I will get some done this week. I won't finish it but hopefully I will at least start it. Sharla is doing better, but still in a wheelchair, so my days are much busier than normal. Luckily I did get some layouts done to show you. First up is one using July Templatetopia by North Meets South Studios. I love those templates they just make everything easier. I also used Heart of a Friend Bundle by Trixie Scraps Designs. The photos are Tina and Ariella at her birthday party.

Up next is one I made using Love in the Garden pieces. If you love gnomes you will definitely want to get this kit. It is just so so so cute!!!! The photo is Callie and her "Beau".

Next up is a layout I did for a challenge on Trixie Scraps' Blog. It was a word challenge and the word was "Hot". I used King of the Pride for this one, because I thought the colors really worked with the word. I love the rich colors!!! The photos are Callie and Cole on Jockey Ridge.

And last but not least is the a layout I made using Got Glasses pieces. I love the colors on this one, and such wonderful elements. The glasses are just beyond cute!!!! The photo is Sharla, not really wanting me to take her picture, but alas I won that one..hehehe.

Ok that is it for how, but make sure you pick up some of these kits, they will be wonderful additions to your stash!!!!
