Your Are My Sunshine

I scrapped this layout yesterday of my favorite little Sunshine, Ava Riley!

I have been saving these photos to scrap for quite some time, she was only 18 months old at the time and is now 3 1/2.  I wasn't sure how I would scrap them until I read the title for the June Title Challenge, You Are My Sunshine, a members only scrap board.  I have had the whole month to work on my layout and just now getting it finished!  

I used a sketch by Allison Davis, one of my favorite scrappers, and love the finished layout!  If you like to use sketches and need inspiration, stop by for a visit.....www.allisonrdavis.com. I like the simple, clean lines of her sketches and fun layouts of her family.   Allison & her family have a scrapbook store in Springfield, Mo., which is on my bucket list to visit in the near future.  

I chose to use the colors in the photos, white, black & yellow, adding the teal for additional color.  The paper is from the Stella Rose Collection by MME with added scraps left over from another project.  The chipboard & say cheese sticker is also from the Stella Rose Collection, the Sunshine chipboard title is from Pressed Petals, and the other two sticker are from Studio 12.  I added the teal washi tape at the last minute for more color.

Wishing all of you a great week.  Thanks for looking!

Ahhhh! Summer has arrived

in Kansas and it is very hot!  Maybe that is why my newest layouts were Christmas related, thinking it might cool me a little by catching up on the last three years of Christmas photo cards that we received each year.  

I love these cards and hate throwing them out, or just sticking them aside and never really looking at them again....they are wonderful reminders of how our family and friends change from year to year.

As you can see, the first layout if from 2010.....so very special since this was my granddaughters first Christmas.  Ava was only 10 months old and has brought so much joy to our family....a true blessing from God. 

I added the "Peace on Earth" card, loved all of the little people and thought it went well with the other photos. 

                                                                                          

My last layout is from 2012!  I am now current

with my Christmas photos.....wish I could say the

same about all of other photos!  

Thanks for stopping by and I hope it cooled you 

just a bit!
