Journaling: There is nothing better than a family playtime...a dinner out,
a movie or a long walk. The laughter, silliness and fun are a great
reminder of the joy of family.

I cut flowers out as accents. The journaling is hidden beneath the main picture. I cut the swirl out from the patterned paper and used it to transfer sewing holes to the layout. Try this with any pattern that you have. Once the guideline holes are there -- you can simply backstitch.

Cards - I used the scraps to do a variety of end of year Congratulations and Teacher cards

Family Time-Carnival by Peggy S.

I absolutely love the fun colors and patterns in the Junkitz papers. I knew they would be perfect for this month's theme of family time. The layout design is inspired by a sketch in the second Becky Higgins sketch book. I loved the layers and pockets they create to fit lots of photos, fun papers, and hidden journaling. I added some colorful ric rac, spiral clips, alphabet brads, and ribbons from my stash to compliment the flowerd, striped, cirlce and polka dot papers from the Brightz collection. Hidden journalign tells how carnivals are pretty much an everyday activity in the summer where we live. There is about one a month but the photos from this one are from the carnival associated with the Rodeo that happens here every year. It also tells how this one is usually the family favorite because it is almost always the biggest and the only one that has bumper cars but also the saddest because it happens in September and is the last carnival until next summer.

Family Time-Siblings & Silly by Emelyn M.

Everyday Siblings

Just a couple of pictures of Jordan and Jasmin NOT trying to kill each other one Saturday...LOL! They loving being in PJ's and will stay in them until we head out the door. The new BasicGrey papers went perfectly with their pink and blue PJ's. I also used the new Doodlbug Accents--Flowers and Cute Clips that matched the papers to a T! I used a sketch by Melanie Lawinger from ScrapAddict.

This is Jasmin's camera face now. She loves to make silly faces, making it harder to take a good picture...LOL! Oh well, she is still a cutie! I love the 3 Bugs in a Rug Groovy paper and stickers! The colors make it easy to match many pictures and the patterns are fun! I also used the new Doodlebug Jellishments and letter stickers!

Typical Day by Sonda T.

Something my daughter and I do almost everyday is go to school. She loves it there and I enjoy helping her in the classroom. On this typical day we were working on spelling words. I used the SPICE PAPER LINE from 3 Bugs in a Rug for the background and then added bits of this and that. Pretty simple but I still like it. I hope you'll capture some everyday moments on film and then scrap a layout about them.

Family Time & Crate Papers by Mary H.

I'm sure we've all done it. There's that paper line. You know, the one everyone's raving over. So you buy it. A lot of it. And then you look at it and realize that you have no idea what you're going to do with it. That was me with the Crate Paper. I loved it. It was pretty and distressed and muted. And in a completely different style than I scrap. I scrap bright colors. I scrap two little kids. I don't scrap pretty, distressed, muted paper. Now I figured I had two choices. I could either add it to my "stash" and probably never use it or I could do something with it right now.

I decided to do something with it. It just happened that I'd just gotten an envelope of pictures. Those everyday pictures that I take of things like tubby-time and the kids playing in the yard. So first I did the bathtime layout. The paper was so perfect for bathtime photos and it came together so easily. I used Bazzill Cardstock with New Garden-Wheel Barrow
and New Garden-Flower Patch. I cut them into strips and then inked the edges. I then used the New Garden-Fresh Cut and made photo corners to frame the photo. I added my title and this page was complete. I was inspired.

So I moved on to the Kate line. I used a small photo album from the dollar store and covered it with Kate-Twig and layered pieces of Kate-Pomegrante and Kate-Ribbon
for my cover. Then I put a photo on one side of the layout and some layered papers on the other side.

I added either a scripture verse or a favorite inspirational quote to each page and I had my very own "cheer me up" album. I got a bunch of photos in an album and used paper that was intimidating me.

I found both the New Garden and Kate lines very easy to use. Now I want the other three lines, Taylor, Hampton, and Seaweed....
