Joy

I am finally got a couple of layouts done using my Counterfeit Kit. I snapped a couple of pictures of our tree.  We had to use different lights as the colored light strand that was programmable would not work.  We also were late putting the tree up and the light selections was limited, so I will have "new lights" on my list for next year.   It looks a little light on the ornament side as I had sorted out ornaments for the guys.  I separated the ones that we bought when we moved to Minnesota as all of ours were in storage in Albuquerque our first Christmas here. The guys had to have a tree that year even though we were going to be in Montana for Christmas.  I also set aside for them the ones that the Grandma's has given to them and of course the ones I had made for them.  I normally make an ornament a year for them but did not do that this year.  I guess I will have to make two this year.

So I did layouts for both guys but David's is waiting for a picture of his tree.  I added the rhinestone Gems for the letter J and Y and the row along the bottom of the pages.  I did add the metal snowflake brad to as the "O" in Joy.

I am using a sketch Thirty-Three by Shimelle on her Sketch to Scrapbook Page Series for all of my layouts. I did flip the orientation of the 4x6 photo on my layouts.

We Fest

For my layout I used Shimelle Laine's Sketch to Scrapbook Page to create today's layout.  My oldest went to We Fest a couple of weeks ago and here's a layout for a few of his pictures.  I used the sky and grass background paper since they camp out and the music notes because it's a music festival. I wanted to see more of the background paper so I used vellum instead of card stock for the vertical paper in Shimelle's sketch.

I made a second page with my leftover piece of vellum going the center of the page and used my Cricut to cut a larger overlay of music notes.  For both layouts I added a few of the punch photo labels for him.

Thanks for stopping by.
