In Loving Memory of Abuela

As we laid my Grandma to rest today, I wanted to post this in loving memory of her.  My sisters and I spent yesterday going through tons of family albums, gathering pictures of my grandma's life, in order to create a beautiful collage to place at her funeral which was today.  Although it is sad and difficult to have someone so close pass away, I feel incredibly lucky to have had her around so long and glad that my children at least got to meet their great-grandmother.  She lived to be 102 years old - an incredible feat and almost unheard of, most would say.  She was always vibrant, full of life and energy, with a wonderful heart and she touched so many lives.   Although she's gone from this earth, I know she will always be with us in spirit.  Abuelita, the quiero mucho!

She will be missed.

Halloween - Pebbles - Too Cute to Spook

Hello everyone.  I have a lot going on that I can't get into right now, but I wanted to do a quick post about this Halloween Layout I made.  Like I said in my previous post, I really love the new DCWV Halloween stack and on the back they had a great page idea that I liked.  So I used it as inspiration and changed it up to work with my photos.  Since my little girl is such a cutie, I knew that I wanted an equally cute paper doll to match, so I created a Pebbles paper doll.  Next to her I added a cute little pumpkin from Doodlecharms with some googlie eyes. My friend Elizabeth had these perfect sticker letters, so I decided to punch some circles (some of different sizes) to create my title.  I also used some cotton to create a web from the title to add the dangling spider.

Here's the cute doll which I created to perfectly match my cutie with an adorable pumpkin and spider overhead...

I doodled on the dress to make it match hers!

A bit closer look at the title...

Oh, and I almost forgot, in looking at the new challenge over at Frosted Designs, I saw that I was chosen as the Winner for their previous "Fussy Cutting" Challenge which I entered my "Meet the Flinstones" layout, so that was a nice bit of much needed good news.  
I hope you enjoyed the layout and please leave a comment - I love to read those!

Halloween - Meet the Flinstones Layout

Hello everyone!  I hope you enjoyed my Disney Week posts and I'm happy to have a couple new followers.  Today I want to share a layout that I just made and I really love.  I haven't scrapped a lot of my Halloween pictures from the last two years, so I tackled the 2009 pics this week.  I am drawn to Halloween papers and embellishments, I keep buying more, even though I already have a ton.  But I recently bought the new DCDW Halloween stack and I LOVE it!!  This layout features it.  Now, if you know me, or as you can see by my title, I can't be without my pop dots - they are an essential.  One of the things I love to do with really pretty patterned paper when I have two of the same paper is cut the patterns out of one of them and pop it on the other of the same paper to give it some great dimension.  I did this with the entire right side of the layout.  So here is the Modern Stone Age Family....

The title is from Mickey Font.

Here is a better view so you can see the dimension and how most everything is popped!

Here is the double page layout side by side:

Disney Layouts - Part 6 - The Last Part of the Disney Album

Hello everyone!  My Sunday got complicated yesterday, so I wasn't able to post.  Today, I decided to finish off DISNEY WEEK and show you the rest of the layouts in the Disney Album.  So this will be a very long and PIC HEAVY post!!!  But I think it will be worth it, so keep reading! 

If this is your first time here at my blog, be sure to check out the other Disney Layouts by either reading the older posts below or click the Disney label on the right side (or you can simply click HERE and see all of the Disney layouts).  I would love to know if you've enjoyed this themed week of layouts, so be sure to comment and let me know you were here and what your favorite layout(s) was!

Let's start with this first one, which is all made with the Mickey Font cartridge (a must-have and one that I use probably most often for fonts).  I love the font, but it also has all of the basic characters and some other neat features like the tag, ticket, and license plate.  Here it is with closeups...

Here are two single page layouts, one for each ride in Magic Kingdom.  The first one includes the merry-go-round cut from the Carousel cartridge.  The title is from Baby Steps and Cuttin Up, which are glittered. 

I can't remember a lot of the details from the layout below, but the title is from Mickey Font.

I really love this layout below because I was able to take the idea in my head and create it in my gypsy.  I wanted it western and with a rope, so I found Howdy pre made on Create a Critter and the badge.  I then replicated the look to create "Partner" using Lyrical Letters cartridge.  Now the border was quite a find!  It is from Stretch Your Imagination under the Card Frame feature.  It cuts in a square, but I cut it to create the continuous border across both pages.  The characters are from a sticker sheet, which I put on card stock and then cut around and popped (of course, lol!).

I also added some lines to make the title look like rope, see here:

This layout is scrap lifted, but I don't remember from where and the file is on my stolen computer :(

This layout is also a cool one, I think.  I distressed it some with some rippled cardboard and white paint.  "Start your Engines" is from the Cars cartridge, as are the flags.  I created the title by creating irregular squares (which I doodled around) and placing the letters (from Cuttin' Up) in each one.  I made the large, red loop border by welding a ton of cursive l's!  Here is the layout with a close up of each page...

This is the last page of the album, like a hodge podge of left over pictures.  I had this great sticker sheet with a ton of banners and I wanted to use all of it, so I did as my left side border of the page.  The top corner is a felt pre made border, which I cut to create the corner effect.  

For the trip, I had created an Autograph Album for my kiddos with my Bind-It-All machine which they used throughout the trip.  I wanted to put it in the album in a way that you could flip through it to see all of the autographs.  I decided to create this on the inside of the back cover of the album.  I used this pattern paper with all of the signatures (how appropriate, huh!) and then placed the autograph album on top.  

Wow, that was a really long post!  I hope you've enjoyed DISNEY WEEK here at ScrapSticklePop.  If you've enjoyed it, please be sure to leave me a comment below and let me know what your favorite layout(s) was.  You can also post or pass along a link to my blog to your other bloggy friends who might like to see it!

I'm also entering some of these layouts in the following challenges:

Disney Layouts - Part 5 - Girly, Minnie & Princesses

I spent a wonderful day scrapbooking today at the "Crop Out Cancer" event held by Paula from More than Favors and Momo from Made by Momo as they raised money for Breast Cancer Awareness.  It was great to be around my friends and so many wonderful ladies, doing what we love and helping out such a worthy cause!  I completed a whole bunch of Halloween Layouts that I will share next week!

For today, I continue with my Disney Layouts (only 2 more posts to go to finish showing you all the layouts in the album!).  Today I focused on more girly layouts from the album.  The first I absolutely love because its of my little Minnie!  I used Jubilee and Mickey-n-Friends for the font and Minnie.

With these two layouts, I had one sheet of a really cute patterned paper, but I wanted to create a two page layout, so I cut a part of the paper and used one part not the left side and the other on the right with coordinating card stock on both to bring them together.  It worked great, check them out below...

After waiting 45 minutes in line to meet the Princesses, Sofi wanted nothing to do with them.  She was fine with all of the other characters, but with the Princesses, she started crying - go figure!  That's the reason for the title in the layout above (which is from Alphalicious).  The layout below features one of my favorite Martha Stewart punches as the top border and the corner punch for each of the photo mats.   The title is from Happily Ever After. 

Sofi wore this little crown pin on her head and she looked so cute.  I created a matching paper doll using Once Upon a Princess (I even replicated the design on her shirt on the paper doll!).      

Crafty Chics is having a Disney Link Up Party that I have been posting to all week.  For more inspiration for those Disney Layouts, be sure to check that out HERE.  I plan to link up again with the minnie layout.

I have two more days of Disney Layouts, I hope you are enjoying all I've shared so far.   Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to let me know you've stopped by with a comment below!  

Disney Layouts - Part 4 - with a Must See Disney Characters Page!

Hello everyone!  The end of my week got crazy, so I couldn't post these last two days, which just means I have more to share today!!!  The first layout is another one of my favorites and it took a lot of time to complete.  The Mickey & Friends cartridge is absolutely adorable, but I wouldn't even have bought it without a gypsy because there are so many layers for each character and some of the pieces are so incredibly small!  So After I designed what I wanted the layout to look like, I then started using the layers feature on the gypsy to separate all the pieces for each character by color to simplify the cutting process.  For the bottom, I welded all of the hands to create the border.  Finally, for the title, I welded the little tags and the "I heart Disney" I hand wrote and then stickled on top.  Below is the layout, followed by a close up of each page and then the layout with the pictures inside it.

Here are more layouts from my Disney Album...

This is from Animal Kingdom.  I used Create a Critter for the giraffe.

I'm linking the characters page to the "Anything Goes" challenge over at Scrapalicious USA.  

I hope you're enjoying "Disney Week" here on my blog (if you haven't seen the other layouts, keep scrolling after this post or click on "older posts" to see all the rest!) and hopefully, I've inspired one or two of you!  I'd love to hear what some of you think, so be sure to leave a comment!

Thanks for stopping by!  I have more to share tomorrow, so be sure to come back!
