Hello family and friends. Well we are rolling right into November and through it quickly! I have two layouts to share from Get It Scrapped and I believe I will have a third later this week. As per usual my assignments seem to line up nicely in little batches. Here is the first based on a fun trend right up my ally, DOODLING! Yep I actually got to doodle all over my layout 🙂
Merry Christmas by Michelle Houghton | Supplies: paper, bling, cardstock borders and stickers; SEI, markers; Sharpie, Zig Bic, Too Marker Products and American Crafts
I had so much fun drawing all over my layout and my photo. I designed the layout very simply purposefully knowing what I was join got do with it, but it could have stood alone without the doodling. Here is a before shot;
I stuck with a tone on tone color scene with creams and golds kept the embellishing simple but still included all my elements of title, journalling, embellishing and keeping the design balanced. But THEN I got to play! I used 4 different types of markers to get all the pieces in place some are opaque and worked well on the photo where others did not so there was some experimenting on a spare photo. The girls LOVE that everyone got crowns. They both did a double take and asked when we dressed up like that and then Sara said do we all look like kings and queens? I gave her a big hug and said you got it girl! She was excited that she got the purple dress :-). I have to say the Creative Team did a great job on this assignment and you will want to check out the other Marker Doodle Re-Mixes!
The next layout assignment was to add found objects onto your layout. Not just found in your scrapbooking stash but found from the rest of your life. I had the perfect page in mind and was excited to put it together.
In Loving Memory by Michelle Houghton | Supplies: papers, doilies, tag, brads, crochet flowers and die cuts; SEI, ink; Sharpie, chipboard letters; American Crafts, butterflies; my husband’s grandmother
There is not much to say here other than I have been saving these magnets to include on a layout about these amazing wonderful people that I am honored I get to say I am related to, even if it is by marriage only, it is still an honor. Kathryn and Eugene are two of the most selfless, giving people you will ever meet and I am blessed daily by having known them both while they were still in their prime. Eugene leaves a legacy of love in his amazing family, he is and will be missed.

As I type this it is snowing outside!
Happy Monday all!
Lots of great pages here. You rocked the doodling, of course. I might have to give that a go sometime soon.
Loved the crowns. I don’t think I have ever had the opportunity to be a queen! What a creative page! You changed a very nice family photo into something quite spectacular!!
