Whew! What a few weeks we have had. I am back now. Life was really hectic and we all know family comes first. Enough with that, I want to Scrap-LOL!!!.
Got several posts to put up today and tomorrow. I hope you get to truly enjoy them. On the Roxie layout- I will post a page in the Scrapbook L.O. Tab above for the supplies used and measurements.
This Layout is probably very close to being one of my favorites for this fall. (I think the papers are awesome!) I only used a portion of the papers and embellishments that came with the Roxie Workshop on the Go and I have plenty left over to continue my layout further or do a 3-D paper project with. Oh Boy!!....Decisions, Decisions!!!! I started this layout at the stamp camp from a few weekends ago. I thought I'd finished (thinking I knew what pics I'd use, well, jokes on me-LOL!!!)
Items used for Layout
When I got my pictures out I realized very quickly they weren't what I was going to use after all. As I hummed (the group staring at me all the while thinking i was nutso-LOL!) and thumbed through photos of family, I realized the perfect sets were of my oldest. A few pictures I have been able to get of her over the last few years plus some odd and ends of younger years(She doesn't like to take pics any longer-unless it's her idea).
In the mean time...Those who are interested in the CTMH Cricut Art Philosphy bundle,

I have been busy, busy working on this layout. My first one picture layout. And, I have made this into a layout I can put with my Wall of Family Photos on a canvas that the layout can be switched out when I want to show case a different Layout. I still have to tweak the size of my canvas. You can't see it in this photo. I will get a larger canvas to decorate with permanent items but have an area that the 12x12 layout can be switched out when I am ready.

Happily Scrapbooking My Memories~S`andra V.
Here's my first set of projects I told you I would post this week. I am determined
to use what I have in my paper scraps. I am also increasing my craftiness into cards. As you all know, I am not much on making cards. But guess what, I made 10 cards this afternoon. I think they are OK. Would love to get tips and opinions from my fellow crafters. I used all scraps including for the bases of the cards.
I did not make envelopes. Not ready to tackle that yet. I did line the store bought envelopes with matching paper or stamped inside the flap to coordinate with the card. I am thinking by doing this, it gives the cards a more finished look. Hope these pics do them justice. There will be three or four posts over the labor day weekend. Told you I have been a crafty buzzer this week..LOL. have a wonderful labor day weekend and hope you get to have fun times with family and friends and get to be crafty as well as scrapbook those memories. Thanks for stopping by. Happily Scrapbooking My Memories~S`andra V.
If you are interested in measurements, what stamp set I used or any other info to
make a set of your own, leave me a comment letting me know what information
you need and your email. I will be glad to share that with you. You can use
the Close to My Hearts new fall papers in the Dreamin" paper pack for
some similar colors. I am sure the Roxie would be just as cute.
