On Cloud Nine

Here are photos from my cousin Aleshia's baby shower this spring in Sacramento.  Her sister hosted us in their new house.  There are no big bump photos since the shower was hosted a little early.  Aleshia and her husband live in Japan and would only be visiting us in the states one time before little Lilah is born!

Products used:  Papers: Creative Memories (background), Bo Bunny (pink dots), My Mind's Eye (clouds);  Embellishments: Making Memories (journaling blocks),  Heidi Grace (rubons);  Tools:  Cricut Lyrical Letters cartridge (baby shower and stork), Ashlyn's Alphabet (title);  Sketch: Sketch Support


This layout was designed using a sketch from Sketch Support.  Go on over there to see more projects made from the same sketch and stay for the new sketches posted weekly!

Joyce's Pre-Wedding Weekend

Back in February, we prepared for Joyce's big day with a Bachelorette Party and Bridal Shower. We had so much fun celebrating with her that weekend!

Details:

Bachelorette Party: Black/white grid paper and black/white paper flower are by Creative Memories. Pink striped paper is by gcd. Circular chipboard embellishments are by Colorbok from the Michael's $1 bin. "One last hoorah" was written with fabric Patchwork Thickers by American Crafts.

Bridal Shower: Purple dotted paper is by My Mind's Eye. Floral patterned paper (umbrella) is by Making Memories. Felt and jewel accents are by Marcella K. "Joyce's" was written with Making Memories glitter alpha stickers. "Bridal Shower" and umbrella were cut using the Sweethearts Cricut cartridge.

Berkeley Botanical Gardens

I LOVE going to gardens and taking pictures of flowers. This is by far the biggest reason hubby and I bought a DSLR camera. Anyway, these pictures are from the Berkeley Botanical Gardens.

Details: Patterned papers are from the SEI Oasis stack. Orange floral rubon is by Colorbok. Brown glittery branch rubon is by Colorbok My Wild Life. Blue/white grid journaling block is by K&Company. Title is heat embossed.

Layout inspiration: Jennifer's Dallas Aquarium Layout

Georgetown Silver Mines

This is a "3" page layout of our ride on the Georgetown Historic Loop Railroad and tour into the Silver Mines in Colorado. I used a 6x12 page protector to create the "third" page - with extra photos/momentos from the trip. I've added pictures of the layout in the album so you can see how the 6x12 page lays.

Details: Papers, journaling blocks, and film strip overlays are all by Little Yellow Bicycle. "Georgetown" and "Silver Mines" were cut using the Lyrical Letters Cricut cartridge (Jack Sprat feature).

Redwoods

Pictures from a hike out near Santa Cruz. The redwoods were beautiful and I loved that the forest floor was covered in clovers.

Inspiration for this layout design: Paperclipping

Details: Striped and tree patterned papers are from the DCWV Green paper stack. Blue woodgrain paper is from Making Memories travel 8x8 paper pad. Green plaid paper is by Anna Griffin (I sanded it to tone it down). Clover was cut using the Paper Dolls Cricut cartridge. "Redwoods" was cut using Lyrical Letters (Loop De Loo feature).
