Two New Christmas-themed Scrapbook Pages made for Scrap FX!

Hi everyone!  Today I am sharing two new Christmas scrapbook pages that I made for Scrap FX!

I found some wonderful black and white photos taken back in 1960 on Christmas day in my mom's photo album. I new I wanted to scrap these treasured photos using Scrap FX's wonderful products!!!

Here is the first photo that I found:

It's an adorable one of my twin sister, Karen, and me!  When I look back at these photos, I cannot believe that my mom was able to tell us apart, but she had all of the photos (including this one) labeled with Karen on the left and me on the right!

Here is my completed page:

For my page, I used Scrap FX chipboard pieces including the "Make Believe" wordlet, transparencies, stencils, and a stamp.  

Here are some close ups:

For my second page, I used the following photos taken on the same Christmas day back in 1960:

This one features my mom, older sister, Cathy, my twin sister, Karen, and me!

And this one is of my grandparents.  WOW!  They were so young and attractive!!!

Here's my completed page:

Again, I used Scrap FX chipboard wordlet, various pieces, 2 transparencies, a stencil for my background, and a stamp.  

Here are some close-ups:

I also want to mention that I used Blue Fern Studios "Vintage Christmas" paper that I have been hoarding in my stash!  

For more details about the products that I used, I would love it if you checked out my blog post at the Scrap FX blog here!

I want to thank you ever so much for stopping by my blog today.  Here's wishing you and yours a very Happy and Blessed New Year!

Hugs to one and all!

Two Family-themed Scrapbook Pages . . . for Scrap FX!

Hi everyone!  I cannot believe that Thanksgiving is 2 days away!!!  I look forward to it every year!  This year we are spending it at my sister, Karen's home.  I can't wait to get together with my family and eat delicious food at the same time!

Scrap FX is celebrating "Family" this month.  I have created two new mixed media pages using their awesome products with this theme in mind.  I would like to share them with you . . .

My first layout is entitled "Together We Make a Family."  I used this favorite photo of the 4 of us taken last December:

And here is  my completed page:

With some close-ups:

For my second page, I chose a photo of the 4 of us with our newly adopted 10 month old puppy, Abbey.  She's a Rottweiler/Coonhound mix and we rescued her from a local dog rescue agency.  She is absolutely the sweetest dog and we all have fallen in love with her!

Here is my completed page:

With some close=ups:

For more details about all of the chipboard pieces, transparency, stencil, and stamps that I used, please check out my blog post at Scrap FX!
