Journey of a Lifetime - Brincadeira #19

Layout que fiz para o blog Scrap Playground com o tema deste mes sendo uma viagem especial. A minha viagem especial foi para o Japao em 2007 com o meu marido. Ela foi especial por varios motivos. A primeira porque sempre quis conhecer este pais lindo e conhecer tb a cultura que me interesa muito! A comida e uma outra razao!!! Adoro comida japonesa! Esta viagem e muito especial tambem porque foi a nossa ultima viagem antes dos nossos 3 filhotes aparecerem nas nossas vidas. Foi tipo uma despedida de solteiro!!!!!!! Agora e so Disney, Disney!!!!!!!

Share

Still no baby....so I made this layout last night. My layouts are getting more simple as I get more overdue! I wanted to enter into the word challenge over at Bird is the Word because I love their challenges. This time it was the word SHARE and as my girls are going through a "non sharing phase" which I wanted to document I jumped at doing this one
I followed a sketch from a recent layout at Scrapbook Trends where they had punched circles and the Imaginesce brad maker punch. However, I changed it adding two half circles for added dimension and added some stamping. I really wanted to use this Jenni Bowlin butterfly stamp I got the other day. I love this stamp!!!!

I Loved our Memories

Still preggers and still scrapping away. I have been feeling some twinges and whilst I was doing this I was feeling a few Braxton Hicks so this layout did not turn out as I thought it would! It has got some hidden journalling behind the picture and an envelope where I will throughout the years add more journalling as I think of my parents.
My parents lived in the tropics so I chose lively and vibrant papers to reflect the tropics where they lived and my mother's dress. I punched a border out using my new Martha Stewart Double Edge punch and then I scrunched it together and secured it with staples
I made this for a challenge over at Bird is the Word where the challenge was to use the word MEMORY or any derivative from that word. I love their challenges and if I have time I would love to finish one for the word SHARE. I have the perfect picture and idea for it. I just don't know if I have the time!

Our Home is where you are

Last night I made this layout for a challenge blog called Challenge me Happy. Their design team is really talented and all the examples on there were amazing! The prizes are really good too so worth having a look at their blog. The challenge was to make a layout with the word HOME on the title and having a feel of home throughout.
I then finally opened my Crate Paper collection pack (it was so gorgeous I did not want to open it yet but with all the new Crate Paper collections out I finally got round to opening it!) I also had this picture of the girls which I LOVE but did not know what to do with. I thought it was perfect for the HOME theme
I then die cut some grass and a fence. Stamped a few houses and clouds on an envelope using Maya Road stamps. The corrugated chipboard house and brand is from Jillibean and I went over some detail with a white gel pen. I also added a fabric brad to give it a more "homey" feel. I also painted with the new Pink Paislee mask using a mixture of paint colors. At the top I also added some blue thread to add to the blue cloud sky feel.
I also recently got this wide washi tape with some squirrels and trees which I love!
I really enjoyed this challenge!

Layouts with hidden journalling

I am enjoying more and more hidding my journalling. I ALWAYS include journalling but I really don't like my handwritting so I think this is something I am going to find myself doing more and more!sc
