September Scrap Our Stash Challenge

I couldn’t pass up playing along with Scrap Our Stash’s monthly challenge. I loved their fun sketch! Check it out here below before scrolling down to see what I came up with. Here’s the link for their challenge: http://scrapourstash.blogspot.com/

Here’s the layout that I created! My daughter was quite the puker (I’m sure she’ll love me for creating this page later!) so I had to document when my husband caught quite the spit up after one of her feedings!

Thanks for swinging by to look!

September Double Page Sketch from Stick It Down

Month number 9 of 2021 is here! And lookout, I have an adorable page to show off today…I’m totally biased but all of my baby girl’s pages are just too stinking cute! 🙂

But, before I reveal my fabulous page for the month let’s look at our sketch from Stick it Down!

Cute right? I loved the flowers and decided to copy them! Here’s what I created:

Isn’t my baby (who’s now 11 months!) just the cutest thing ever?! Proud Mama over here! 🙂

I hope this layout inspired you to create something fun for yourself this month! Thanks for swinging by!

August Challenges

I felt inspired this month and decided to play along with Rochelle Spears’ sketch challenge and Stacy’s Tic-Tac-Toe challenge. And their joint Scrappy Friends Challenge! I’m working hard on scrapbooking my baby girl’s first year before she turns 1! Here’s Rochelle’s sketch that I copied:

And here is Stacy’s Tic Tac Toe board. I included twine, circles and stickers on my layout!

Ok so here’s the layout I ended up with:

Thanks for swinging by my website! Happy Scrapping!

July Double Page Sketch from Stick It Down

I hope you had fun joining us for Stick It Down’s Instagram hop last weekend! I know I did! What a fun way to celebrate our wonderful blog’s anniversary!

Here’s our next double page sketch challenge that is highlighting my family celebrating the 4th of July last year! Our family tradition is to spend some time at our cabin, eat some yummy food, and play dirty Bingo! If you look closely at my photos you’ll see my Uncle posing with his prize (yes…it’s a jock strap) on his head! My family is a blast 😉

Here’s the sketch for July:

Here’s my take on the sketch!

This sketch is absolutely perfect for highlight many photos, so I hope you play along!

As always thanks for swinging by my website and have a wonderful 4th of July!

June Double Page Sketch from Stick It Down

Summmmerrr! You’re finally here! Let’s start off the best time of year with a fun sketch! Do you struggle to find time to scrap in the summer? I always try to take advantage of those rainy days and scrap! But then get back out in the sunshine!

Here’s our sketch for Stick It Down this month:

Here’s what I created!

This month I scrapped some photos of my brother and sister-in-laws gender reveal party! We were so excited to welcome another beautiful baby girl into our family this February! Baby Natalie we love you!

I hope you get a chance to join us this month and that you enjoy some gorgeous sunshine! 🙂

May Double Page Sketch from Stick It Down

Happy May Day! Oh how I love the month of May! It’s probably my favorite month of the year! My birthday, National Scrapbook Day, Mother’s Day, the end of another school year…all these wonderful things happen in May!

Ok ok, I’ll stop rambling about May! Haha! Here’s our fun sketch for the month from Stick It Down!

I decided to use this sketch to document a fun weekend spent with my in-laws last summer!

I love that the spring-y colors of this paper worked so well with the colors in my photos.

I hope this layout has inspired you to do some scrapbooking today! Grab those photos and paper and get busy! 🙂

Have a fantastic day and thanks for swinging by my blog!

April Double Page Layout from Stick It Down

Welcome to April! Spring is officially here!! I’m so excited to welcome spring and take some adorable Easter photos of my daughter this year. Last year we had snow for Easter, so I’m hoping this year we can see some green grass! 🙂

Here’s our sketch challenges from Stick It Down this month:

Here’s my take on the sketch! I decided the block squares in the sketch looked like this adorable paper from Echo Park that I had in my baby girl scrapbooking stash. I decided to use it to scrapbook a baby shower that was thrown for me. I think it turned out pretty cute! Can you spot “Andie” in block letters on the side?

As always, thanks so much for swinging by my blog this month! I hope you can join us for the sketch challenge too!

Guest Designer at Lasting Memories Week 5

Week 5 of the wonderful month of March! It’s been a great month of fun guest designing for Lasting Memories and I hope you feel inspired to play along! Sketch challenges are always so fun!

My family and I love to fish so I took this fishing theme and ran with it! This past summer my sister in law and I were both pregnant, but we still found a quiet moment to catch a few sunfish off the dock! So here’s our funny “Pregnant women fishing” layout!

Ahhh such good memories! This makes me excited that summer is almost here! Bring on those warmer temps!

Thanks for joining me this month for Lasting Memories’ fun challenges! I hope you’ll join me again here at bethanyroisland.com again next month! Have a great week!
