For The Love Of Paper

Creative Top Ten All About My Favorites Scrapbook Layout

     Happy National Scrapbook Day Scrappy Friends! I have the distinct honor of running one of the challenges for this weekend over on the Victoria Marie Facebook Group.  The challenge I came up with was to create a project with your top ten current favorite things. 
     I thought this was going to be super easy right…I mean we all have things we love.  When I actually sat down to plan though…super hard.  Narrowing your whole life down to ten things!  If you’ll notice though…work was not on the list…lol


   As per usual I started with a sketch…This one was from Creative Scrapper Volume Three.  The sketch had a huge amount of journalling on the right side, and I thought that was a great place for my top ten.  
     The paper on the right in from the Authentique collection all Favorite and was perfect for this theme.  The numbers and tiny word stickers are also from Authentique.  
       I didn’t care for the photo on the other pieces from the collection though so I pulled out a 6×6 pad from My Minds Eye called Moments.  The scrappy challenge of this was though that it was white and the Authentique is cream.  Tim Holtz distress pads in Antique Linen to the rescue.  
     If you’re not a member of the Victoria Marie group I hope that you’ll consider joining for loads more inspiration and new scrappy friends.  

Play Time

I know I’ve been absent for a LONG time, but I promise I’m trying to work on new inspiration.  I have been keeping my Youtube and Instagram accounts fairly current though.  If you’re interested in following me there the links are on the right hand side of the blog.  I’ve also started a new health experience with Plexus which I also linked in the right tool bar.
Without further ado…Here is a layout I completed with one of my scraptastic kits.  It’s of our daughter when she was a month old starting to look and play with her little gym. 
The products are mostly Amy Tangerine with some stash items thrown in here and there.  My favorite part of the layout though is the heart and title.  The hearts were created with Faber Castel glass beads. I did a review of the product over on my youtube page…be sure to check it out.  The title I made with my Silhouette Cameo sketch pens.  Can I even tell you how much I loved the effect!
Okay – I better get back to trying to create…quite time is limited around here 🙂

Hello World

I’m up today with another Scrapbook Challenges layout, but it includes several firsts.  It’s Julia’s blog debut first and foremost.  She was only about two hours old in these photos!  They are my Mom, Dad, Sister, Brother-In-Law and our son meeting her.
The second first is that this is my first scraptastic layout.  When I saw their Drops of Jupiter kit in March and then Eloise in April I knew I had to sign up.  Everything on the layout, except for the pink background and the wood veneer hearts came from the kit.  I love how it all worked together.

Come back next week for a layout showcasing Julia’s newborn photo shoot pictures.  I LOVE how it came out.

Partners In Crime For Lasting Memories

If you following me on Instagram you’ve seen a sneak peak of my Partner’s in Crime layout for the new Lasting Memories Challenge using the February 15th sketch over at Stuck? I wasn’t able to submit this for the challenge, but I loved the sketch so much I wanted to it anyway.
I used products from the My Mind’s Eye Remarkable collection for my paper choices.  I also used some of the collections embellishments along with wood veneers from Studio Calico and sprays from Heidi Swap and Tattered Angels.  I also used an Amy Tangerine roller stamp for stamping on my tags.
The photo is one from when our son was very under two and Daddy has just gotten home from work. They are so happy to see each other!  My journalling says…”You and Daddy have so much fun together, but also know exactly how to push each others buttons.”
I’m just so happy with how this one turned out.  So who’s your partner in crime?  Until next time…Keep Scrapping!
