My Pretty Scrappy Layouts

Here are my layouts I created for Pretty Scrappy this month. I am pretty proud of these! This first one was created with Paige by Babyyaks (all credits are in my galleries). I loved the colors for this kit, so soft!



This one was created with the May Collab Kit called Dew Drops. The kit is huge and the feel of the kit is like a rainy day. Such beautiful colors!


This one was created with Called Home by Scrappy Shannon. It has a wonderful theme to help you scrap the loved ones that have passed. This is my grandma - I really miss her!



This last one is created with Opal from BritBree Designs. It is great for creating vintage photos! This is my father-daughter banquet my freshman year of high school.

I am hosting a speed scrap at Pretty Scrappy!

Feelin' Pretty Scrappy! (in a good way!)

I am lucky to be on the Pretty Scrappy Creative Team! Here are some layouts I have made with some of the great kits over at Pretty Scrappy! (All credits are in my gallery to the right.)


This first one is created with their great April Mega Kit called Funk-a-licious. It is bright and funky, and has tons of great elements and papers to create with! The first one is a picture of my mom and my nephew Jake. He loves his grandma so much! The second one is a picture of my kitty getting a very rare treat.. milk! Boy does he love it!





This next one is created with a kit from Designs by Mel called Delightful, and it is just that! I liked it so much and saw such versatility, I decided to make two pages. The first one is a pic of me and my kitty, and the other is an older picture of Kevin and his immediate family circa 1970.





This next one was created with Family Matters by Creations by Rachael. This kit is perfect for vintage pages, it really sets the tone. This is a picture of Kevin's extended Mezo family.




This last one is created with Happy.. Too! by Stacey Crossley. I love the colors in this kit! This is a picture of Kevin's mom back in high school. I love the simplicity of this page.
