Just Ducky

Scrappy Monday, y'all!  I've got a springy layout for today.

These pics are from April of 2019 I believe.  Our next door neighbors in North Carolina had hatched some duck eggs and then the ducks just stuck around after they were grown up (there was a long, skinny pond stretching the length of our block behind our houses, so I imagine that was a nice place to live for some semi-tame ducks) so we used to have fun feeding them occasionally.  Ryan fed them frozen corn often enough that they'd come waddling in our direction anytime he came out of the house :) 

For the layout, I was quite pleased to find a stripey pattern that pretty closely matched the shirt Ryan was wearing in the pictures.  Score one for my ridiculously enormous collection of patterned paper!

Today's color palette:  So Saffron, Rose Red, Bashful Blue, Brilliant Blue, Certainly Celery, and Whisper White.

Have a great week, ducklings!

Pupkins

Scrappy Monday, y'all!  I am super happy to be sharing a Halloween layout today.

And let me just pat myself on the back because how AWESOME is that punny page title?!  I was just going to stamp "pumpkins" and then at the last second I was like wait, no, it should be PUPKINS and I giggled hysterically at my own cleverness because my doggos were dressed up as pumpkins.  I miss those fur babies.

Today's Halloween-inspired color palette:  Pumpkin Pie, Kiwi Kiss, Gorgeous Grape, Basic Black, and Whisper White.

Have a spooky Monday!

Kiddie Hawk

Scrappy Monday, y'all!  Hope your week is off to a good start.  I'm starting the week with a super-colorful layout : )

Where we lived in North Carolina, there was an indoor playground called Kiddie Hawk and Ryan *loved* it.  My hubs used to take him on Sunday afternoons to give me some time by myself.  At first Ryan was small enough that he needed help climbing on some of the things, but by the time we moved Ryan could navigate around anything in that play area by himself.

I started with a super-colorful print from the See a Silhouette DSP and chose my colors from there:  neutral Night of Navy for a base to make the other colors pop; Pacific Point, Poppy Parade, Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, and Whisper White for a rainbow of colors.  Makes me happy, how about you?

Have a great day, peeps!

Wilmington

Scrappy Monday, y'all!  Are you ready to start a new week?

Today I have two layouts to share, from Ryan's first trip to the beach--Wilmington, NC in May of 2018 (so he was a year old plus a few months).  At the time we lived about an hour and a half away so we just did a day trip for Ryan to experience the beach.

I love the picture of his little feets in the sand :)  I busted out my old favorite Ocean Commotion stamp set and fussy-cut the fish, seahorse, and shells for page accents.

Let's not forget to mention how I dressed Ryan in a shark shirt, haha!

Today's beachy color palette (sorry this picture is dark) includes Tip Top Taupe for sand, Coastal Cabana and Blueberry Bushel for sky and water, with a wee bit of Peach Parfait for accents and Night of Navy for the title and journaling.

Have a great week, peeps!

Ski Trip

Scrappy Monday, y'all!  We had a busy weekend with hubs' birthday on Friday and then Ryan's birthday on Saturday.  Our house now looks like Paw Patrol exploded in here ;)

Time for a new scrapbook layout!  Actually I made this one a while ago but we did this ski trip over Presidents' Day weekend years ago so it seems appropriate for today.

This is the only time I have ever been skiing and I am Not A Fan.  Hubs likes to snowboard, so if he wants to go again, we have a deal:  he can go out in the snow as much as he wants, I get to stay in the lodge with a good book and a hot cuppa.  (And when we were at Sapporo, he went skiing/snowboarding with friends while Missy and I toured a chocolate factory, so I definitely got the good end of that deal!)

I used the Layered Letters Alphabet for the page title (only I didn't layer the letters on rectangles or ovals, just simple stamping).  I haven't used that alphabet a whole lot, but I did just do a layout in the last couple weeks where I used it.  I do love to collect alphabets.

Today's color palette is mostly retired:  Ballet Blue, Pistachio Pudding, Summer Starfruit, Basic Gray, and Whisper White.

Have a great week, peeps!  Hope you stay away from the germs...poor hubs has been sick for daaaaaayyyys and it's still sticking around.  Hope that I don't get it...

We're Going to Disneyland!

Scrappy Tuesday!  Thought we'd do scrapbook pages today since yesterday was Guest Designer Day :D  And here are some of the most recent pages to come out of my craft cave!

Pics are from when we went to Disneyland with friends in April of last year.  These same friends are driving down for Thanksgiving next week!  Very excited about that.

Also excited about my title and patterned paper here.  That pattern is one of my VERY FAVORITEST EVER by Stampin' Up!, I just love it.  So for the title, I used the same colors and added Pacific Point.  I sponged ink on the background rectangle rather than inking up straight from the ink pad, which made the colors light enough that you could still tell the letters are BLUE and they look good.

Second layout!  I matted all the photos with different colors from the patterned paper too.  Pacific Point isn't anywhere in the pattern, but I thought it went well with the other colors.

And there's the colors:  Pacific Point, Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, Tangelo Twist, Mossy Meadow, and smidge of Basic Black and Whisper White.  Wish my photos of the pages were a little better today but we've been socked in with clouds for what seems like forever so it's hard to get good pics.  Ah well.  The trip was a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to seeing those friends again next week!

Cheers, y'all!  Ryan and I are heading to the gym for the first time in a week since we both had colds last week.  Wish me luck.
