Here is a lay­out I did last night for the FFAF chal­lenge on Scrap­Gal hosted by Marci Lam­bert. The theme is “Fam­ily Smiles.” I love the Cosmo Cricket “Dutch Girl’ line. The col­ors and pat­terns are really nice. The chip­board let­ters and num­bers are by Maya Road. I used the num­bers as a pat­tern and traced them onto my lay­out. Then painted (MM Manila), chalked (Col­or­Box Creamy Brown) and glit­tered (MM Glit­ter Glaze) them up. I also have lots of zig zag stitch­ing on the pho­tos and pat­tern papers. I love zig zag and straight stitching!

My “so much love the roof is com­ing off” lay­out sure is get­ting a lot of expo­sure. It seems to be pop­ping up all over the place. Here it is on the Mak­ing Mem­o­ries Blog and in the Cre­at­ing Keep­sakes Tips & Tricks section.

Oh if you can make sure and stop by Scrap­Gal today and tomor­row. They are hav­ing an online crop with lots of great give aways. You don’t want to miss out. I will be off and on the mes­sage board all week­end. I have so many projects and lay­outs to get done I most likely will be sleep­ing in my scrap­room all weekend.
