I’m a scrapping machine!

I haven’t blogged in forever!!!! Gah! I have been so busy with the end of the school year stuff and enjoying outside time with Lily….I love the outside part.  LOL!  We have about 11 days of school left (who’s counting, though?) and I can’t wait for the chance to have some more design time! I’m also doing Layout a Day with Lain Ehmann….so that has used up all of my design time lately.  I’m loving every minute of it – and getting some awesome scrapping done!  Instead of showing off my designs, I thought I’d show off the 20 layouts so far in the month of May!

Check out the slideshow here: May LOAD 1 -20

Come back here and leave a comment – tell me which one you liked best and why.  I’ll draw a few names to win coupons to my store!  Leave me a link to your favorite layout (in the same comment) you’ve made in the month of May, and you’ll get a second entry into the drawing.  Comment before 11:59 pm tonight in order to be eligible to win!

  1. I love the “I love taking your picture” layout. The simple background against the brown polka dots is really striking. And I love the theme. Very nice!

  2. Loved all the layouts, but I think the one on Day 18 is my fave. I love, love, love layouts with lots of white space and yellow is one of my favorite colors. Of course, your subject is just too dang cute!

  3. I love them all, the lovely child photos, the blue eyes, but day no 11 I like best. The one of Hawai. I love the blending there.
    Very inspiring gallery!

  4. oh wow
    how can’ya just pick ONE? lol
    they are ALL amazing

    luv Take Your Picture
    great design and fotos too!

    Layout a Day with Lain Ehmann?
    did I miss something?
    is this @ Oscraps?
    going to look now lol

  5. Do you know how are it was to pick just one??? They are all awesome! I love the So Happy together one because I love to see vintage photos! Great job sweetie! Thanks for the chance!

  6. This was hard but I think my favorite is day 13. I love the way the black and white photos go with the yellowish color. (I would have never thought black and white would look good with that!) The way its put together…just perfect and the stitched heart adds just the perfect touch!

  7. Oh my gosh, the eyeroll, lol! I can relate…he, he.
    It was difficult picking just one because I really like your style. I admire how you’re able to add pizzazz to your layouts and keep it simple at the same time. I also like how you can make a lo feminine but with a tomboyish quality.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  8. I love day 11. Love the way it’s blended. Wonderful layout. :)

  9. Wow Jodie you have been a scrappin’ machine!!! Great job, it’s hard to pick just one, but since I love purple so much I’m going to go with the smootches one. I know I’ll be picking that word are up!!!

  11. OMG! Love the gallery! It was hard to pick just one but after going back and forth between a good 5 layouts I decided to pick Day 6 as a favorite. I LOVE the photo shoot pics (she is so pretty) and love that word art!!

  12. My favorite is Day 6. The photo progression is beautiful and the little girl is adorable. And I love the word art used here, it’s so perfect for those photos.

  13. Hi, so many incredible LOs!! But i’m in love with #12, snapshots! Uh, it’s so clean, cool…and fresh!!! And the B/W pics…amazing!!! love it!

  14. wow!! It is amazing that you have scrapped that much and the layouts are still awesome!!! Hands down my fave is day 6! I love everything about it! The colors and how they compliment her outfit, the papers and the stitching at the bottom! Love it!

  15. Hi Jodie! This was a tough one. They are all so good. I’m going to pick day 10 (always roses, always yellow). The journaling is so meaningful.
    I am very happy with the way this layout came out http://ozone.oscraps.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=93833&cat=500&ppuser=157

  16. Do I have to pick just one? They are all so AWESOME!! Wow you’ve been very busy!

    2. Hear you laugh…Love the photo and the colors of the layout compliment the photo beautifully!! Awesome!
    3. So Happy Together. You did a great job with the layout and telling the story. Sweet!
    4.Smooch the cheeks. The colors caught my eye. I love the wordart and the whole arangement of the layout. The two pages stitched together is cool.

    Thank you for the inspiration. Your layouts are truly wonderful.

    This is one I did the other day. I loved the photo and found the perfect verse for it….I’m happy with it!

  17. Choosing only one was quite the task! My VERY favorite is “I just love to watch you grow”. It’s brilliant in its simplicity. Stunning photo and beautiful colors. You inspire us all!

  18. I love your Watch You Grow layout (dated Jan 09). The angle of the photo and the treatment you applied to it….beautiful!!!! And the word art is perfect blended into the background. I love the simplicity of all of your pages, and this one just stood out to me.

    This is one of my favorite layouts done in the month of May:

    I actually did this one yesterday.

  19. Wow, all of them are just wonderful! If I HAVE to choose though I just adore the photo in Day 2 & your journaling is perfect too – my daughter is just the same age :)

    I also love the one with the yellow roses – I saw it in the gallery & was so touched by your journaling.

    I was really happy with the way my layout for the Oscraps copycat challenge turned out – It’s here: http://ozone.oscraps.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=95061

    Thanks for the chance & all the inspiration!!

  20. I love Day 7! The happy colors and wordart make me smile, and inspire me to scrap pics of my 4-mo-old laughing!

  21. This is my favorite layout for May:
    http://ozone.oscraps.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=93549&cat=500&ppuser=20688

    It was just a random photo i snapped while changing his diaper during our Easter photo shoot, but turned out so sweet!

  22. Too many to love. I love the blue little trailblazer, clean and simple, so sweet and the awesome journaling. I also love the “love to take your picture” the photos and color combo was great. I also loved the layout you did for Holly’s designer spotlight challenge. I remember that one from the oscraps gallery and loved it at the time. It is just a stunning piece of art that really stands out!

  23. I LOVE Day 7!!!!

  24. Wow, you’ve been busy! I really liked the “Watch You Grow” page…her eyes are beautiful in that photo!

  25. I love them all but my favorite is “Whatever.” That expression is priceless! I’m amazed you caught the eye roll. What a memory to capture.

    I’m having fun getting lots of layouts done with LOAD, too. It’s hard to pick a fav but I’ll pick this one:

  26. WOW is right! great job – beautiful layouts – ha! just pick one! right – I actually liked most – day 1,2 and 3 – but my fav is day 3 because the wonderful little bird soaring around – it inspires me to journal more with my grandkids………
    Blessings
