Christmas by: Jenni Johansen, Kristie Larsen, Julia Whetten, and Mindy Burns

Jenni made this great festive, sparkly Christmas layout!
Kristie used the same material to make her own take on the layout!

Julia stayed pretty close to the original

And Mindy made a few little tweeks!

Looks like we all loved it though! Thanks Jenni for a GREAT, versatile layout!

Bouncy Boy by: Robyn Carlsen

Only 2 solid colors and one sliver of patterned paper for this layout and it is beautiful!!!!! The sparkled letters give it a great added touch!

Count the Waves by: Julie Bingham

Beach pictures are always so beautiful, and this layout captures that beauty!

Spring Fever by: Robyn Carlsen

Sailboats by: Mindy Burns and Jenni Johansen

The original layout looked more like Jenni's, which included the sailboats! Notice how her son's shirt has sailboats on it too (we scrapbookers love coincidences like that!)
I changed mine a little bit to keep the softness of my son's baby pictures...I used the vellum cover to hide some NICU pictures that I wanted to remember, but they were a little too sad to have in plain view....

The ribbon and buttons both have rub-ons that were rubbed directly on to them!

Hitting the Road by: Julia Whetten

When a child decides to pack their bags and hit the road, it's a moment you just have to capture! This layout does a great job of keeping the focus on the pictures of the little runaway! And the title is GREAT!

Cowgirl Up by: Mara Sisk

This is a great girly cow"boy" layout that adds that hint of "cows" without being over the top!!!
This layout is by Amber Slentz, who changed a few details, with a very different look!

And the Winner is: Robyn!!!

Cards by: Mindy Burns

I NEVER make cards! My husband always wonders why I buy packaged cards at the store when I have a bunch of card-making materials at home...I've tried to explain that scrapbooking and card-making are two VERY DIFFERENT hobbies. It would make sense that if you scrapbook, you make cards, but I know I am NOT the only one out there that prefers one to the other....
A card exchange has forced me to try the card making thing, and after the initial, "how do I fit everything onto this tiny little card?" dilemma, it was actually quite fun and refreshing to have something done fairly quickly! I might have to try it more often!!!
The top one is made from a new paper line I bought called Animal Crackers, and it is ADORABLE- lots of sparkly animals and designs...The second cards is made mostly from scrap paper, including Me & My Big Ideas, but the felt flowers are from Stampin'up, and I love the colors of them! I also bought the 'make them yourself' brads, which are really cool because you can make the top of the brad anything you want, you just cut out the same sized circle, and then cover it in a clear epoxy sticker provided, for a very custom look!
