Getting around to it

I decided to go through one of my many boxes of pictures just to get a little inspired. I found these pics of Tobin (will be 5 in May) when he was 2 years old at Carowinds. He loved to ride the rides but he always looked so nervous before they started. I decided to make this an outer space them. The title was cut with MTC and the letters are actually cut out of the marquee and not glued on. That was something different for me to do.

Details:
Most of the paper is DCWV All About Boys stack
Most cuts are from the Toy Story cart
everything else is stash

This layout qualifies for:

Scrap it with a song: Brown eyed girl

This weeks song at Scrap it With a Song is brown eyed girl by Van Morrison. As everyone knows....I just have lots of boys, but no girls. So I decided to take the line....my how you have grown and make a layout of Trey. I really like how this turned out. All the paper is from my stash. The title was done with a childs year. The boy is actually a few different SVG files that I cut to make into a boy.

I Thought these pictures came out so cute when I got them developed and couldn't wait to use them. As some of you might remember I am on a mission to use all my paper before I buy more. Well I got about 10 new pads for Christmas so I know that wont happen any time soon...lol. I decided instead to pull out the very first pack of paper I ever bought and use some of it. I think it worked so well on this layout. I LOVE how it came out.


Details:
All the pattern paper is from Me and my big ideas
Moon: I used Make the Cut and the SVG file was from My scrappy chick
Title: is from nursery rhymes
I used a hand held sewing machine for the first time around the outside

Scrap it with a song: Born to Fly

This weeks song at Scrap it with a song is Born to fly by Sara Evans. This was a new song for me but I loved the Wizard of Oz reference in the video. So I went through all the pictures I got from snapfish last week and dug out this years trip to the pumpkin patch.

Scrapping a little

WOW!!! The holidays have been super busy! I hope every one got everything they wanted from Santa. I know I did. Today is Tanner's birthday (its hard to believe my littlest is now 3 and says he is not a baby any more) but I was able to get some me time to make this layout. I love how it came out and I got to use some of my new papers! I hope you like it.
