Scrapping In Snoqualmie: Retreat is Over!

I had such a fun filled weekend with good friends and got quite a few layouts done. Not as much as last year, but still alot. 22 to be exact. I had 2 more almost done and was able to get them done the next day while Sami was taking a nap. Cameron sat next to me and worked on his own art project.

While at the retreat, I finished my layouts done with the October kit. I will post them as soon as Kimberly posts them on her site first. I really loved this kit. I had tons of fall/Halloween pics to use. Also, Melanie provided a really neat sketch for our challenge this month and I used some photos that I had from our visit to the Tacoma Glass Museum.

Here are a 16 of the 22 layouts that I got done at the retreat. (The others are from the October kit) I am finding myself going to the sewing machine more often to add that finishing touch to my layouts. Some of them are very simple as I was trying to challenge myself to use old product and just get some layouts done.

"ONE"DERFUL

I finally scrapped Sami's first birthday. (Don't even get me started on Cameron. I've only done his 1st and have 4 more to go and will soon add 5 since his birthday is in a month)

The next six layouts were done with SEI's Happy Day line and then I combined them with some DCWV Nana Kids paper that I've had forever and some DCWV Glitter paper. The SEI Happy Day die cuts were to "die" for. The were so cute and fun to layer with pop dots. I also added lots of bling to these pages. How could I not?

TESTING BOUNDARIES

This was a challenge I made for myself. Go through all of the patterned paper that I have left over from the Hip 2 B Square kits over the last two years and put some of it to use. No card stock allowed, just patterned paper. I actually think it turned out really cute.
