Smile Baby Girl Scrapbook Layout

March 5, 2018

Hey crafty friends! Thank you for joining me today for another baby girl scrapbook layout. I created this layout for the Bling On The Crafts blog hop. The links for all the other crafts will be below, but you can expect all types of sparkle from each one!

For my project I used a photo from our baby girls 3 month photo shoot and the Pebbles Spring Fling Collection. I’ve had this collection for probably two, almost three, years and it was perfect for this outdoor photo.

My bling for the hop came in the form of gold foil on both the pink and green banner pieces. I also added stickles to the center of the turquoise flower in the top cluster, and the wings of the green butterfly. The three pink hearts spread around the page are also shiny.

I also created a youtube process video for this layout if you’re interested in watching.

Thank you for joining me today, and be sure to check out all the other wonderful projects the other bloggers created for this!

Supply List:

Pebbles 6×6 Paper*

On the first Monday of each month, a group of DIY and crafty bloggers join forces to bring you the #BlingontheCrafts blog hop. Each blogger creates a glittery, sparkly, shiny, shimmery, sequined, or “blingy” craft to share that goes with a monthly theme.

March’s theme is Spring. Each blogger chooses their own craft to make as long as it shines and is Spring themed.

If you’d like to participate next month, you can request to join our Bling on the Crafts Facebook group. Next month’s theme is Cinco de Mayo!

Family Legacy | Scrapbook Generation | Simple Stories

January 21, 2018

Hey crafty friends! I’m here today with my last layout from my Scrapbook Generation kit clubs. I can’t believe it’s taken me three years to use them all up.

Today’s layout is using the old Simple Stories Legacy collection. It was perfect for some family photos we had done when Julia was three or four months old.

We had monthly photos with our son too, but they were in a studio. I loved using a freelance photographer so we could do somewhere fun each month. These photos were at a local rose garden, and were taken on the date of our 12 year wedding anniversary. The photographer found that out and snapped some of us too!

I also used this layout to show my use of The Best Glue Ever over on the ScraPerfect blog. We’d love if you popped over there to see that as well.

Stay tuned for new things coming up now that these kits are completed. Until next time…stay crafty!

Snow Fun | Pebbles

January 7, 2018

Hey crafty friends! I’m posting today with a kill a kit layout. I wanted to use up an old My Creative Scrapbook kit, but there was so very little. I went searching pinterest for the collection, and found inspiration from Mendi’s layout.

I had several of the same washi/paper strips so I used them like she did, but I improvised with the ones I didn’t and with my embellishments since I didn’t have any of the ones she used. I love how it came out.

Out of this kit I was able to create four layouts, one mini album and two cards. If I hadn’t searched for the collection I wouldn’t have gotten the last layout or the cards completed. I hope this inspires you to search when you are stuck and either scrap lift or make something your own. Until next time…stay crafty!

Beach Scrapbook Layout

January 6, 2018

Hey crafty friends! Now that my desk is cleaned off I’m very happy to be back sharing a new layout creation with you.

I created this layout as part of challenges at the Secret Not Secret Kit Club. We were challenged to make a summer scrapbook layout during the cold of winter, and man is it cold. It was 8 degrees when I woke up this morning so I’d say it count as cold.

I used a VERY old kit from My Creative Scrapbook, and it took me a minute to be okay using the pink on a picture of my boys. I’m very glad I did though because I think it came out well.

All of the paper layers under my photo are project life cards. They came with the kit, and since I don’t do pocket scrapbooking, I challenged myself to get them on a page somehow. Clusters in the upper left were created with small portions of 3×4 cards as well.I just love how this came out, and really wish I had done a process video to go with it to show how I managed to get all the layers just right when I wanted them. The next set of kit club challenges is in mid January, and I can’t wait to complete more. Can you believe I finished four layouts in two days!?

Well, I better get back to creating. Thanks for stopping in with me today and until next time…keep crafting!

Pretty Much Perfect Together | Scrapbook Generation

December 29, 2017

Hey crafty friends. I’m here to share with you today a simple wedding layout I recently made for my sister. She’s married two years just this week.

The layout was a from an old Scrapbook Generation kit, but I didn’t use it as they suggested. The papers were from Heidi Swapp, and surprisingly some of it can still be found on Amazon.

This layout is part of a two page spread and the other side is rather busy. It’s all 4×4 blocks with photos and project life cards. I chose then to keep this side simple to not overwhelm.

The “star of this side (well besides the photo) is the title of pretty much perfect..together. It was a 4×4 card that I layered and added an old Scraptastic acrylic piece to to create a more wedding themed title. To attach the together I used my ScraPerfect Best Glue Ever.

So…now it’s your turn. Do you alter sketches or cards to fit what you’re trying to scrap? Share with me your tips/tricks and layout links!
