Mini album in a box

Last month I tried to make it to the Jillibean Soup DT. Unfortunately I didn't make it, but I still want to share the projects I created for the this call.

The first one is a mini album in a box. Mostly I make layouts but mini albums are definitely some favorites for me to create and I always try to make each one a little different. I had some simple cardboard sort of sigar boxes that are easy to pimp up with some paint, stamps and embellishments.
The mini album is self made with kraft cardstock.

Jillibean Soup
Dutch Mustard Soup: Leeks, Wholegrain Mustard, Cornstarch, Dry Mustard Powder, Pea Pod Parts, Journaling Sprouts, Coordinating Stickers.
Bean stalks Orange/Yellow, Sugar Picks Butterflies, Corrugated Houses, Journaling Sprouts - square green, Alpha Beans grilled grey.
Kraft Cardstock, Hero Arts background stamp grid, SC stamp numbers, Hero Arts Chalk Ink Grass, Acrylic Paint Dabber Lemonade.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful Sunday!

A winter day at the beach

For this layout I used the Pretty Little Studio Sand Castle collection, from the Gossamer Blue add on kit of August. With all these soft tones and the words on the embellishments, you would probably have a first thought of a hot summer day. That's exactly the type of photos that I used on my first layout with this collection.
Because me and my family are living close to the beach, we don't just spend summer days overthere, winter days can be great too. It is the best place to get some fresh air and empty your mind on a cold day. So this time I made a layout of a winter day at the beach, with this sunny summer collection.

Pretty Little Studio, Sand Castle collection: pattern papers Summer, Sun Tan, Sand Dollar, Star Fish, Swim Suit. Bingo card, Stencil Flash Card, Bookmark Tag, Castle Flag.
Kraft cardstock, Mr Hueys, Silhouette Cameo, hand stitching.

Use it Tuesday Challenge #41

It is the 2th Tuesday of the month, so it is time for another challenge at Use it Tuesday!

The challenge is: All about fall! The days are getting shorter, the leafs are changing colors and falling from the trees, it's getting colder and we are changing our clothes: it's fall!

***REMEMBER: All of our challenges call for you to use your hoarded supplies! A challenge requirement is to tell us in your post what you used!***

For this layout I grabbed some MME left over papers and some fall die cuts, that I made when I just had my Silhouette, but never used. This photo of Chelsie is made when she was about 15 months old, can you believe she's already 8 now?

Please link your creation using Inlinkz by Friday October 19th on the Use it Tuesday blog. Please make sure to mention you are playing along with a Use it Tuesday challenge (a link is great too!) so we know you are participating.

As always, one lucky participant will be randomly chosen to be a featured guest designer in an upcoming challenge!

Have a look at Use it Tuesday to see what the other DT members created and please leave them some love!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Bubbles

TGIF! The weekend is coming and that will hopefully give me some scrapping time.
But first I have another layout to share that I made with a Creative Scrappers sketch and the Gossamer Blue August kit. This photo of Phiene is made 3 weeks ago when she spent the weekend with me. Everywhere she goes, she wants to take her 'bubbles' with her. I love watching her enjoying such simple joys in life!

Climbing your way to the top

I thought it would be fun to play with some sketches again and which sketches are better that the ones from Creative Scrappers?

I turned it around and made some changes to make it a better fit with my pictures. I always love how sketches inspire me and than make it my own. For this layout I grabbed the August kit of Gossamer Blue, it seems there will not come an end to this kit and I love it :-)

Crate Paper: Pretty Party 'Planner', Pretty Party 'Cake Stand', Random Collections 'Curtains'.
Lily Bee: Double Dutch Index Card, Buttercup ABC stickers.
MME: The Sweetest Thing Bluebell Bright Tiny word stickers.
Bazzill: white and mustard.
