#016. Racing Enthusiast.

I love how simple it is to scrapbook with a CTMH Level 1 Kit. This particular one, Rough and Tumble (it's actually retired, darn.) is awesome with these pics I had from James. There were so many colors in the pictures, it was hard to find some that worked well, but this one did. The base pages come preprinted, so it takes the guess work out of it. All in all this layout and the underpants one (see the previous post) took about half an hour. While they aren't some of my more elaborate layouts, I love the look all the same.

Recipe: Rough and Tumble Level 1 Kit, Bigger Brads, from CTMH.

#015. The Adventures of Captain Underpants.

So some of you have been hearing about my "captain underpants" layout, well, here it is. The chipboard underwear was the whole thinking behind this one, and I love how it turned out. Thanks to Trisha Ladouceur for teaching us how to glitter chipboard at Sheep River Scrapbook Co. in November! (I never would have thought it was so easy, just white craft paint and some glitter...) Every boy want's to be a superhero, mine is one in underwear. Or lack thereof.

Recipe: Chipboard underpants - Riff Raff Designs; everything else: CTMH.

#014. Just a blur.

Okay, so these are really bad pictures, but my son loves his racing underpants. What kid wouldn't? And he just refused to stand still, so I got some great action shots.

Recipe: Cardstock, chipboard dots - CTMH, bling cardstock - Bazzill; letter stickers - Thickers; Rubons and patterned paper - Piggy Tales.

#013. Miss Kitty.

Doesn't that photo show just how sassy this kitten is? We'd only had her maybe a week when I took these photos. She's so adorable. When she's asleep.

Recipe - tiny letter stickers: Jenni Bowlin; everything else is CTMH.

#012. 2 Cute.

They really are too cute. 'nuf said.

Recipe: Patterned paper - Basic Grey; letter stickers - Thickers; border punch - Fiskars; stamp set, ink, cardstock - CTMH; yarn - unknown.

#011. Dinosaur.

I am really happy with the way this layout turned out. I love MME, I love the matchiness, and how they always have something different. Plus, of course, I have the most beautiful family ever. And they put up with the mamarazzi all the time!

Recipe: Chipboard letters, rub-ons, cardstock - CTMH; everything else - My Mind's Eye.

#010 Just Wanna be a Cowboy

These pictures are really old, like 4 years, and I just love the expression on their faces. My grandfather with his youngest great-grandson, and my boy. This paper was perfect to express the moment!
