Wood + Scrapbook Paper = Fun Holiday Displays

sMiLe...Layout using Wings Paper

This is a beautiful layout and YOU can make one too. Just come to my next scrapbook workshop. See below for all the details.

I will also be doing a card workshop on the same day for anyone who would rather make cards instead of a layout. And yes, you can do both if your heart desires. Save $2 if you do BOTH the card and the layout workshops.

Close to My Heart's (CTMH) Spring/Summer 2011 Idea Book (page 22) is where I first seen this layout. I fell in love with it and knew I had to create one for myself.

I used CTMH's Magic (a how to book) to create the other side of this layout. I brought a little "magic" to the page by using a pull-out journal space (see below for more details).

See...Magic! And you thought I created a layout with no journaling! The journaling reads:

Jaide the first time you sang this song I cried. And I still cry today when I hear you sing it. The words are moving and your little angel voice touches my heart! Love you, Mommy

If you wanted you could even journal on the other side. I think I will write the words to the song on the other side of mine. The words to the song are:

He was praying in the Garden
He was praying to His Father
Before they came and took him away
He said Father I must die by the death I caused
But I would go to the cross if you say
The price is right I must sacrifice my life
The price is right no price would be too high
I love him enough that nothing is too much
The price the price is right

The pictures of my daughter were taken May 17, 2009, before church. She was only 6 years old (3 months shy of being 7). I cannot believe I am just barely getting around to scrap booking these pictures...time flies by!

I used the My Pages Talk Voice Recorder to record my daughter singing a few lines of a song and attached it to the bottom of my layout. I am so happy I recorded her back then! What a great way to help bring the layout to life. The layout pictured below shows the recorder attached. To hear my daughter sing this song click here.

February Workshops

This 12x12 layout, two cards and coaster photo frame are for my February workshop. The left side of the layout was scraplifted from the Spring 2009 Idea Book (page 23). After I took the picture of my cards I realized the "much happiness" Kanji phrase wasn't stamped dark enough (sorry).

The picture's in my layout were taken in November 2007, at the CTMH Album Retreat in Park City, UT. Yes, that white stuff in the pictures is snow.

I will be going to the next Album Retreat in Salt Lake City, UT later this month. I am so excited. I will post all of the layouts from Album Retreat here on my blog!

SNOW Layouts on Aspen Paper!

This layout is 9x9. The pictures are from January 2006. My son made the snowman by himself. He couldn't stack the snow balls on top of each other, so he placed them side-by-side.

This 12x12 layout was scrap lifted from Jena. I love all the layouts and cards she creates. The pictures are from January 2007. It didn't snow much that winter. I had to take my children up to the mountains so they could go sledding. If you look closely at the pictures you can see the brown colored grass just below the snow.
This 6x6 layout was also scrap lifted from Jena. Thanks Jena for your creative ideas!

Fun with Aspen Paper Packet

The left side of this 12 X 12 layout was scrap lifted from Jena. I love all of her work and when I seen this layout on her blog I feel in love and had to make my own. If I lived close to her I would join her club, even though I sell CTMH products myself! LOL! Now I need to take some fun snow pictures to put on this layout. Thanks Jena for your great ideas!

This 6X6 layout was also scrap lifted from Jena. I just love all of her work! Thanks again Jena for sharing your ideas on your blog! Now I will need to buy a small photo album to put this in. You have not seen the last of Jena's ideas because I am sure to make more! Maybe I should just move to WY!




I created these cards myself! Can you believe it? I usually don't make cards so this was a big stretch for me. I have had many people tell me they want to make cards, so here it is. These cards are for my club members to make in January. The cards are 6X4, 4X4, and 3X3. Thanks for looking!

Merry Christmas

Fall Memories 2007

The left side of this layout was scrap lifted from the Autumn/Winter 2008 CTMH Idea Book, page 60.

Mom's PUMPKINS

This was the layout I used for my swap at Brandy Jo's 2008 Fall Scrapbook Retreat. The idea for the left side of this layout came from the Autumn/Winter 2008 CTMH Idea Book/Catalog (page 51). My page is different, but the idea is the same. The right side was added to make it a 2-page layout. I used the Perfect Day Paper Packet.

I plan on changing some of the photos in this layout to sepia because the colors don't match.

Soccer DAYS

The idea for the left side of this layout came from the Spring 2007 CTMH Idea Book/Catalog. The right side was added to make it a 2-page layout. I used the Game On Level 2 Paper Pack from the Summer 2008 CTMH Idea Book/Catalog.

All AMERICAN Boy

I scrap lifted this layout form the CTMH Summer 2008 Idea Book, on page 76. I loved this layout when I first saw it and knew I would have to do it.

4th of July 2007

I got the idea for this layout form my friend Nicole S. My layout is different from her layout, but I did pick up some of her ideas! Thanks Nicole!

Love U DAD

I scrap lifted this awesome layout from Susie Clayton .

Mom

This layout was scrap lifted from Amy Mayhew. I did my stamping a little different and I added a little embellishment. The layout idea is all her creation.

Pre School

Here are pictures of my daughter looking all grown up going to Preschool (August 2006). Boy I can't wait to see what look she gives me when she is older!

Kindergarten

Me @ 40!

Here I am at 40! Wow time flies by. These pictures were taken back in May 2006. I still have not entered a journal on this layout, because I do not remember what I did on this day.

My Family

I love this layout. My Mom took all of the outdoor pictures. We are at the Manti Temple. The indoor picture was taken by Kiddie Kandids. All of the pictures were taken in September 2006.

Snow Fun - Daughter

I got the idea for this layout from my up-line, Brandy Jo Burton. I changed the title and added the snowmen.

Snow Fun - Son

I got the idea for this layout from my up-line, Brandy Jo. I changed the title and colors and added the snowmen.
