Bath Time Layout

I am  loving scrapping these pics of my precious little boy! It's so fun to do baby pages again! I found this cute little svg of a bird in a bird bath that I had saved long ago. It was a freebie from Treasure Box Designs a while back. I thought it was perfect and unconventional for this type page!

This page qualifies for the challenge at ScrapRoom which was to use the following items on a layout...4 different patterned papers, buttons, ribbon, handmade embellishment, and stitching! I finally got brave enough to use my sewing machine on a scrapbook page and I stitched the big circle down. In hindsight I should have used thicker thread. Oh well.

I also used the sketch this week from Sketch Inspiration.

Big Brother Layout + Freebies

Howdy folks! Welcome back! I got another scrapbook page done today! I think I'm going to do his whole first year album with kraft paper as the background. I just love the way it makes any color pop off the page and it's so versatile! I created this fun little title "Big Brother" for the page. I also created one that says "Lil Brother" if anyone would like them, they are for sale in my etsy store for just $2.00 for the pair. I used this week's sketch from Sketch Inspiration.

I cut the cute little gears out of some patterned paper that i had. I love them! So cool for a boy's page. Nice alternative to flowers.

A Wedding Card

A friend of mine is getting married in a few days and I made this card for her. I am not totally pleased with the way it turned out, but some cards are just that way. I used the svg files from SVGCuts called Kate's Silhouettes.

I used this sketch from Cute Card Thursday.

Random Free SVGs

Hello everyone, here a couple of random freebies!

Coffee Table & End Tables Re-do!

After painting a hutch to go in my entryway, I was inspired to tackle my livingroom furniture. It has been with our family for 6 years and they have seen many hot wheel races and monster jams thanks to my son. So needless to say they have seen better days (esp the coffee table). My son prefers to play standing up rather than sitting on the floor like most kids, so everything he does is usually on the coffee table.

BEFORE

BEFORE

First, I primed everything with Valspar White primer.

Then I applied 3 good coats of Valspar Satin La Fonda Copper.

When everything was dry, I added a coat of glaze to the corners and egdes to give it an antiqued look. You can see a tutorial here. Then I applied a thick coat of polyurethane protective spray.

AFTER

3 Quick Cards

I put these cards together in less than 20 minutes...Wanna know how? I colored the pictures ahead of time! LOL. My husband is always watching some show like Law & Order that I care nothing about, yet he wants me to sit there with him. So instead of watching tv, I color! Then later I can put together a quick card!
