LOAD Layouts Day #6 and #7

Today I just have a couple more layouts to share. But if you read my post from yesterday, I must tell you that one of the layouts was cultivated from my Inspiration File. I'm loving it!

For Day #6 of LOAD, (aka Layout A Day), the daily prompt was "Little Girl Dreams". When I thought about the prompt, and then flipped through my Scrapbook Album "All About Me", I realized that I have scrapped a couple of layouts about different childhood dreams that I had. So I didn't feel the need to cover them again. What I decided to do was to make a layout with all of my dance class photos from way back when. 

Product Used: Patterned Paper: Chatterbox - Border Punch: Fiskars - Title Letters: Cloud 9 - Flowers: Prima - Brads: Recollections.

I didn't do extensive journaling about my dancing "capades", I kept it fairly simple. I had already written in detail about my feelings of dancing on a layout that I had created previously. But it only included one photo on it, so with this layout, I was able to fit more photos and showcase them. For the design I used this weeks Sketch #306 from Sketch Inspiration


Today's prompt for LOAD is "I Always Thought". I threw around a couple of ideas in my mind, but then it dawned on me that I may have a photo in my Inspiration File and the idea for a story jotted down on my idea card. Indeed I did, and here's what I came up with:

Products Used: Patterned Paper: American Crafts, Little Yellow Bicycle & Fancy Pants Designs - Border Punch: Fiskars - Border Lace: Little Yellow Bicycle - Die Cuts & Word Sticker: K & Co. - Die Cut Machine: Craft Robo - Distress Ink: Tim Holtz - Pop Dots: Recollections & Therm-o-Web.  

Of course the photo of the moon is from the Internet. I just traced out the Easter Bunny and his desk out in Photoshop. When I look at the moon I always think of my grandmother's story. And I always can see the Easter Bunny. I am beyond excited that I got this story down on a layout!!! Again, it's this type of layout that makes me the most happy! For the design, I used Sketch #130 from Sketch Inspiration.

Have a great week!

  1. Love your LO - I really like to see LO's with more than one photo. I usually have more than one on mine too, or I do two page LO's. I am your newest follower - can't wait to see what you come up with next :o) Would love it if you wanted to follow along with my blog as well. Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving such sweet comments. I really think my DD looks more like my hubby, but lots of people think she looks like me.
