Live it Up - My Mind's Eye and My Scrapbook Kit

I got to go on airboat this past January.  It was so fun, and such an adventure!  It started with where you pay to take the ride, it was in a bar.  Well I have never been in a bar and needless to say I had a bunch of guys surrounding me within seconds, I got right beside my poor brother-in-law after that I stayed right there until we got out of that building!

The ride was super fast and all over due to the wind.  And did you know alligators can jump, and jump really high?  I sure didn't, but once they told me I made sure I moved away from the edge of the boat!

Thanks Uncle Mario for the awesome adventure!

I started with this piece of chipboard to go with my pictures.  And of course everything needs flowers because it was still a girl page about me.

Don't you just love the sign and lock!  Like that was going to keep me safe.

If you look close in the gold circle I somewhat managed to capture a picture of one gator.

My hubby actually stayed home with the kids as there was no way I was going to let them go.

Enjoy the Journey - My Mind's Eye and My Creative Scrapbook

I had the pleasure of guesting with My Creative Scrapbook again this month.  I was delighted when I opened my box and found My Mind's Eye Mint Julep!

Here's the first layout I created and a step-by-step on how I created it.

This is how I started the layout, my basic structure.  The script words and the color of the page just seemed to fit these pictures.

Here are the next pieces I added in, again fussy cutting from the script paper.

And then some final details of the page...

Here is one of the layouts I created with the August Main kit 

(stop back by to see the rest tomorrow): 

I thought it would be fun to share the steps I took to create this layout...

I began by picking my papers/products.  I really liked how the grey matched the sand and the bluish paper was like the sky.  The stripes were just full of energy as are my boys!

I have seen a trend with my work lately, I always start with a block that is my main focus for the page, whether papers, pictures, or large titles.  So here is my block that started my page.

Next I added in 2 different journaling cards and a few stickers.  This would be a great place to stop - just add some journaling and you've got a nice page.

Or...  Take a look at some details that I added next to bump my layout to the next level.

Stamping as my journaling!

Pops of washi tape with a the bold black color.

A red arrow (that was sitting on my desk) and more titlework. 

And one last look at my final layout
