Grandfather and Grandson Layout

February 6, 2019

Hey Crafty Friends!  Can you believe I’m back with another share so soon!?  Don’t get used to it…haha.   I’m trying very hard to get back to posting more frequently.  The little one has stopped napping, and it has taken me some getting used to to find a posting schedule again.  This time I’m sharing a layout with you for Southern Girls Challenge Blog.  We were challenged to do something with animals so I created this grandfather and grandson layout of them watching the horses.  Far fetched I know!

Male layouts are hard - multi generation male layours...even harder. This layout grandfather and grandson layout combines both.

When our son was little my parents watched him two days a week.  He loved animals and diggers…what boy doesn’t right!?  When the weather was nice they went to local construction sites to watch the diggers and also local arms to watch the animals and horses.  My mom captured this photo and I wanted our son to have it documented since his grandparents are so special to him.

The paper is a VERY old collection from Carta Bellas called Boy Oh Boy.  I’ve been trying to kill this collection for years and I think I may actually still have bits and pieces laying around.  This layout was done with the 6×6 paper pad though.  I keep looking for ways to use all the 6×6 pads I have up, and I’m still not making a dent.  Do you have any tips?

Father Son Bike Trip Scrapbook Layout

February 6, 2019

Hey crafty friends!  Thanks for joining me today as I share this Father Son Bike Trip Scrapbook Layout.  I was inspired by one of the case files over at Color, Stories, Inspiration.  They have three pieces to use as inspiration, but the one that really struck me right away was case file 272.

Color Stories Inspiration case 272

The first thing that jumped out at me about the case was the children, or they could be elves, were outside playing in the tree with birds and squirrels.  I had photos of my husband and son out enjoying nature on an 18 mile bike ride.  Totally fits right!?

The light background of the inspiration scene also provided inspiration for the background paper I chose to use.  I don’t usually use patterned paper for my background, but this one wasn’t so overwhelming that I thought I could work with it.

There was also paper with bicycles on it, and since this was a bike trip, that obviously had to go on the page as well.  There was also one bicycle sticker on the sticker sheet, but can I tell you how huge it was! This was one of those collections where all the ephemera was just so large.  My solution was to cut the bicycle off the front sheet where it shows you all the paper partners in the kit.  It was just the perfect size!

The large photo on the page is 4 but about 5.5.  The two smaller photos are 2×2 made using the collage function in picmonkey.  With the college function I can print six 2×2 photos on one 4×6 paper.  I’ll plan two pages that have small photos and print one 4×6…saves my photo paper and ink that way.

Thanks for sticking with me as I explained this page.  I hope to do at least one more of the case files this month so keep a look out for that.  In the mean time….stay crafty!

Toddler Boy Scrapbook Layout

October 3, 2018

Hey craft friends!  Welcome to another project share for the Southern Girls Challenge design team.  Team Lou was asked to use stripes on our project for this challenge.  I created a toddler boy scrapbook layout, but this could easily be a layout for a male of any age with a few embellishment tweaks.

Use striped paper to create a toddler boy scrapbook layout that with a few embellishment tweaks could work for a male of any age.

The paper I used for this layout was a VERY old Echo Park mini called I believe just called boy.  I brought this along on my retreat and used this layout to finish it up.  I also have to say I am in live with the thickers I used for this title.  They are just a touch bigger than tile alphas, but aren’t so overwhelming like some sizes can be.  They also come two colors to a package…navy and white.

The photo is of our son who is almost 8, and was on my sisters instagram…hence the title.  In this photo he wasn’t even yet three.  I can’t believe how quickly time has flown.

I obviously used the striped paper as my largest layer, but it wasn’t popping off the paper how I’d like so I mounted it on white inked with a green that matched the green in the papers.  It gave it just enough pop.  I’ll also give you a tip.  The center of the blue paper is gutted out and the photo is mounted on the scrap.  Doing that A) reduces waste and B) ensures a perfect match.

Well,  I think the rest of what I did you can see from the photo so I’ll leave you with the question.  What is your best tip for killing a kit that you’ve had in your stash for ages? Don’t forget to come over to Southern Girls and see whatever has created and submit your own entry.  Until next time…stay crafty!
