LM 493 - TULIP

This month at Lasting Memories, we are using supplies that start with the letters in spring words.  This week, our word is TULIP.

I created a layout with photos from my sister in law's baby shower.  There was a jungle theme, so this collection worked perfectly.

Here's what I used on my layout:

T - Tiger 

U - Unisex baby shower

L - Leopard

I - Indigo 

P - Palm 

Supplies

Paper, chipboard, stickers, enamel dots by Echo Park Jungle Safari Collection

Calvinball Day 29 - You Are My Sunshine

Here's another Calvinball layout.  I used some photos of my mom and I playing with my nephew.  He was one last summer and so much fun!

Supplies: 

Paper and embellishments by Simple Stories

Puffy Stickers by K&Co

Date stamp

Wood veneer by Fancy Pants

LM 472 - Patterned Paper Prints - Stripes

This month at Lasting Memories, our theme is patterned paper prints.  This week, our challenge is to use striped paper on your layout.

I had THE CUTEST photos of my nephew from last Thanksgiving.  I found this gorgeous striped fall paper and it works so well with the colors in these photos.

Supplies:
All patterned paper, stickers and embellishments by Photoplay Paper

July Stick it Down

Here's the July Stick it Down sketch made by yours truly.  I figured this sketch would give you a great way to use up some scraps.  I love the idea of having half circles around the entire border of the page.

I decided to use photos from my nephew's first birthday party.  I took a ton, so I used a bunch of small photos.  I recently went to a scrapbook yard sale and I found this monster paper pack from CTMH.  It was PERFECT.  The colors matched all the party decor and my nephew's outfit!

Supplies:

All cardstock, patterned paper, stickers and felt embellishments by CTMH

Sweet Summer

I've been trying to back some of my stash.  I have joined some facebook pages, such as Crafty Use it or Lose It and Bash Your Scrapbook Stash.  

I recently came across my scraps from the first Simple Stories collection I ever bought - Summer Fresh. I had 1 full 12x12 paper (which I used for the background) plus some border strips and project life cards. I used it to scrap this cute photo of my nephew.

I fussy cut some bugs from the Crate Paper Flourish Collection.  These bugs look exactly like the ones on his onesie!  I colored the pink bugs to make them red so that they matched this page. The last photo is what my cat, Oliver, was doing while I was fussy cutting the bugs. LOL

Supplies:

Simple Stories Summer Fresh - Paper, project life cards, border strips

Crate Paper Flourish - gold puffy hearts and word, bug paper (fussy cut)

Beach Baby

I absolutely loved this month's case at CSI: 

This week, we took my 3 month old nephew to the beach for the first time.  I had this kit from Embellish It and it was perfect.  The colors of his bathing suit and the whales/fish on his shirt matched perfectly!  

Supplies:
Kit by Embellish It
Papers, Stickers & Ephemera by Bella Blvd
Co-ordinations Cardstock

I am entering this layout into these challenges:
