Boy Double - Let the Little Children

OK, I've been on a boy kick lately.  Maybe it's the fall colors.  I don't know.  I wanted to make a layout for a friend so I didn't add pictures.  I've been itching to use my Crate Paper with the toy them so this seemed the perfect time.  

All of these papers are currently available at the store but they are discontinued and no longer available once they sell out.

Look how sweet these old-fashioned wood blocks look.
Anyway, I'm happy with how it turned out but it will look awesome when they add pics of their handsome little man :)

Have a scrappy day and don't forget to vote if you haven't yet!

It's not secret I have absolutely fallen in love with Simple Stories.

That means you win :)

The kit is still only $6 AND it includes...

One sheet of double-sided patterned paper...AND...

Three sheets of Core'dinations cardstock...AND...

 One package of Kaisercraft wood flourishes with holly...AND...

One sheet of wonderful stickers...AND...

A choice of one of three Signature Elements...

  (which happens to be double-sided for added choices-hooray!)...AND...finally... 

A choice of one of two Designer Cardstocks...

(which also happens to be double-sided:)  The End.

Supplies limited.  'Nuff said.

Simple Single - Sense of Wonder

With a few exceptions, like the apple orchard, pumpkin patch and a few other outdoor destinations, it's the time of year when we Michiganders begin to choose indoor destinations for a day trip.  The Grand Rapids Children's Museum is one of our favorites...



I had just a few photos at from our trip to the Children's Museum.  I found this absolutely perfect paper from WeR Memory Keepers.  I spread the title out to use the gears as the "o" in lose and your.  If you haven't ever been you should really go...even if you don't have kids.  Why do you think I don't have many pics?  I was playing, too!

Happy Scrappin'!

Boy Double - Gridiron Glory

I finally found the pictures from Si's first year of football.  He has enjoyed it even though his number is larger than his weight :)  (Left page photos were taken by Dawn Borup.)

I used all old paper for this layout - Basic Grey, WeR and Crate Paper.  Whenever I find good boy/man paper I stash it away because it's so hard to find.

  

I think, like Scrappin' Sports, I love the backs of Crate Paper a little more than the fronts.  They are timeless.

Have a great weekend.  If you're bored don't forget to head out to Branch Adventures for HarvestFest beginning at 2pm.

Happy Scrappin',
