She Has No Secrets
Here is my layout: “She Has No Secrets”,
I did this for a challenge over at Scrappy Giraffe Kits. It’s a requirement for trying out for their design team, but I actually really ended up loving this layout. I think it’s one of my all time favs. Hope you guys like it too! The challenge was to use the word Secrets on an All About Me layout.
I used Crate Paper paper, Karen Foster clasp, the diamond and bee stamps are stamp OAS and Penny black, the {Look Inside} stamp is Catslife Press. The letter stamps are Stampin’ Up and the Chipboard letters are by Heidi Swapp. All inks are Stampin Up, and the blue paint is Making Memories. The Confidential stamp is one I’ve had for quite awhile now, and I’ve been dying for an opportunity to use lol! Not sure who made it.
some close ups (this has such tiny details):

If you have ever wondered what the difference between a craft ink pad and a regular ink pad is, check out the diamonds and the bee. The diamonds are stamped in a traditional ink pad, where as the bee is stamped in craft. Both are the same Stampin’ Up color “chocolate chip”.
A view of it open so you can see how the journaling works:

Thanks for looking. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.




Awesome layouts as well as the Sunday Layouts! how long on average does it take you to do a layout? Love your style! hope you and your family have a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving!

Very cool. Fun to look at. Love the working hinge. I really need to get my sewing machine out…….I’m afraid what it might look like.
My style however is very very simple lately.

Hi Lou. When I read your post about your Mom being an artist I had an “aha” moment. That’s where you get your scrappy talent. You’re an artist too. It must have been so cool having all that creative stuff around the house when you were growing up. Love your layouts. Cheers

Hi, I just read a post from Sept about trying to get the kids a new nap/sleep schedule, because Jonas was about to star afternoon preschool. Did you manage to get them on schedule? how do you do this? I’m having trouble making my 16 month old sleep on his own and on schedule. Please help
