Two more Two Peas CHA Layouts

I was able to finish a couple more layouts for the CHA challenges over at Two Peas.  I have to say that it feels good to scrapbook after a bit of a layoff.  When I get busy with projects/things at home scrapbooking tends to be the things that drops off the plate first.  These challenges have been kind of shot in the arm to get me back in the swing of things.

Anyway, this first layout is for Challenge #2:  Two People - to scrapbook the relationship between two people.  Not unexpectedly I chose to scrapbook the relationship between my two favorite subjects.  When we were in the 'family planning' phase I wanted to have kids two years apart, but we ended up with three years in between and I have to say I think it's kind of perfect.  The girls really do love one another.  They are typical siblings and definitely know how to and do push one another's buttons with great frequency, but they also genuinely love and take care of one another.

I'm using a combination of Elle's Studio's You & Me line and Glitz's Hello Friend collection.  The banner at the bottom was created by punching half circles with a circle punch.  Just put your strip of paper in about halfway and punch.  So easy to do.

 

I traced the Glitz cloud pieces on some of the You & Me papers to create a shadow for some definition, and used a bunch of different foam thickers for the title.  In the grand scheme of thickers, foam are my favorite, mostly because they ALWAYS stick and don't come off.

My second layout is for Challenge #8 - Eight straight lines.  These photos are from a little 'date' that Ellie and I had last summer during our family vacation.  Everyone else went to a nearby park/beach, but I wasn't in the mood, so I decided to stay back and Ellie stayed to keep me company.  We had a sweet afternoon together, took a walk, played a little, and relaxed a little.

Echo Park's Sunshine mini collection was perfect for this layout.  My eight straight lines are pretty straightforward.  I cut thin strips of the chevron paper, doubling them up and stitching them down to create columns as the basic design element.  A few stickers from the Sunshine collection added just a bit of interest.

That's all for now.  I'm hoping to maybe get one more layout done, but we'll see....
