My grandson was not with us on Easter, so when I had him the following week on Wednesday, I gave him Easter stuff. The Hop title was a SVG file from Treasure Craft and I made it with my Silhouette Cameo. The other accents dies are from various companies.
This is the 2nd year my granddaughter has raised a pig from a little piglet to show at the country fair as part of 4H. Lavender was her pig's name. It is bittersweet raising the pig and then showing and selling her. Accents were created with dies and an SVG file from Treasure Box Design which I created with my Silhouette Cameo.
Some layouts I added pictures and embellishments to.
A layout a made years ago and finally added pictures to. I used my Quikutz dies to make the Dump Truck and Backhoe. For the saying I used a stamp that I had on hand. The borders were made with a Sizzix die.
He loves to play with his cars and send them down the driveway to see how far they will go and which one will be the winner.

Here is a layout my club made some time ago. The only embellishment that was that not there is the 2025 animal title. That I purchased done on ETSY. I may add a few more animals on the top of the second page to cover up the word baby and first year. I think this bright fun layout works just great for Zoo pictures. This trip I only took pictures of my grandson.
At the swimming hole. It is a very neat pool in a regional park with a sand beach. An adult or teen can walk across it, and they constantly filter the water. It also has an awesome bathroom and changing rooms. I prefer this to a local beach as it is like a beach but with nice options. The sand is all around and there are many umbrellas to sit under. While he is little this is where we go. 
These 2 base layouts where made some time ago and used Close to My Heart paper and cardstock. I just added photos and embellishments. The 2024 tiles were purchased SVG files from MySVGParlor and they were very easy to put together with my Silhouette Cameo. I love the pop they give the layouts. The Deer and Christmas Tree are Sizzix dies.
Halloween 2024
I used a layout I made with my club some time ago. When doing this I look for layouts that have the amount of picture spots I want.
My grandson loves looking at the pages I made with him on. This will be a keepsake for him when he is older.
Here are 5 layouts from the Close to My Heart/Stampin Up Summer Gnomes paper packet (2 of them) and the coordinating cardstock. I also used the CTMH/SU Summer Gnome die and other dies I had on had for embelishments. Many of the journal spots are made from SU dies.
These layouts were made using the Close to My Heart Gnomes for Autumn paper and the coordinating cardstock. I also used the CTMH Gnomes for Autumn die and other dies I had on hand to add embelishments to the layouts.
Here are 5 layouts I made using the CTMH Gnomes for Spring paper packet (2 of them and 1 sticker sheet) and the coordinating cardstock. As usual I added a bit more cardstock as I prefer matted pictures, as does my club. There is enough paper left to make another layout or maybe even some cards.
These are 5 layouts I came up with using the Spring Mix In Close to My Heart paper packet (2) and the coordinating cardstock pack (2).
I did also add some extra cardstock to these layouts. No embellishments have been added as these layouts could be used for anything. So, I will add extra's once I put the pictures on.
The first layout uses the Serendipity dies and school colors. The second layout uses some X-Factor dies. These dies used are Mosaic Moments.
Here are 5 layouts I have made with the Close to My Heart Let's Party paper packet (2) and one coordinating cardstock pack. I have added some extra cardstock as well in colors that match the Let's Party paper color theme. I have used some CTMH dies on these layouts and some other companies dies as well. I always try and make my journal spots add an extra bit of a design element to the layouts.
There is still some paper left to add embellishments to the layouts or make even another layout or some cards.
Here are the layouts my club is doing using 2 of the Honey Bunny Close to My Heart paper packs and one Honey Bunny coordinating cardstock packs. I have added a little extra cardstock for these 5 layouts. There is some paper left to make cards or embellishments or maybe even another layout by adding some cardstock for the base pages.
Here is what we came up with for the I Want Candy Close to My Heart paper packet (2) and then the coordinating cardstock. I worked on these layouts with another scrapper and we have fun doing this. I love one side was not Halloween related so we came up with these fun layouts and we have paper to do at least one more. We did add in some more cardstock as well to acheive these layouts.
