Awesome Summer Hair Boy Scrapbook Layout

January 13, 2022

Hey crafty friends!  I actually had some time to scrapbook recently and used sketch nine from the She’s Crafty Mini Paper Pad class that I started so very long ago.  I ended up creating this Awesome Summer Hair boy themed scrapbook layout.

The sketch that was used this go around came from A Cherry On Top.  I’m not sure it’s one that would have called my name since it has both hexagons and long strips. I changed it up enough that I was comfortable using it, but it was still a bit of a challenge.

A cherry on top sketch

The first thing I did was change the photo orientation to work with the orientation of the photos I wanted to use.  I moved the 2.5 x 1.5 from long and on the bottom to right next to the other two photos.  The  photos I used are of our sons temporary blue hair from this summer.  He loved it!

When I started putting the sketch together I actually did the hexagons as my first thing, and then fit the rest of the pieces around those.  I thought if I started in the middle I’d make my square pieces to large and then not be able to fit the hexagons in.

As I was working on this I wasn’t so sure I was loving it, but in the end I really do.  Now I need to go an do some more creating, or at least cleaning up of my space so I feel inspired.  I really need to use this kit up too.  I’m down to very few embellishments that aren’t words. Until next time….stay crafty!

Wedding Hairdo Scrapbook Layout

August 8, 2018

Hey crafty friends!  Welcome back to another page reveal for Southern Girls Challenge. Team Lou was challenged to add some stamping to their project.  I pulled out some old items in my stash and created a wedding hairdo scrapbook layout for my sister’s wedding.

My sister was married the day after Christmas, one month after getting engaged and while I was six months pregnant…fun times 🙂  I had never done hair before, but she wanted something simple and wanted to look like herself so I just did a simple around the head braid.  These photos were taken while I was doing that…without even a practice run.

The paper that I used for this is Carta Bella’s rustic elegance.  It’s a wedding paper, but isn’t all I do and black and white.  It has soft colors and hearts and flowers…perfect for letting the photos shine.

To meet the stamping requirement I used an old Stampin’ Up hexagon set that had a matching punch.  The set had patterned hexagons and one with just an outline. I used use the outline so that the stamping didn’t compete with the punched paper.  I feel the patterned stamps would have overwhelmed the soft feel of the paper.

Since there were three photos on the page, and the hexagons themselves were visually very busy, I left everything else very simple.  A simple black title and two small journalling squares were my only embellishments.  The only other thing I added was some gold ink splatters as it is a wedding after all.

I hope you have enjoyed this layout share, and I hope you’ll come over and join the challenge as well.  Don’t forget that if you do leave me a comment with your link so I can be sure to pop over and check your creation out.  Until next time…stay crafty!

Craft Room Challenge – Reveal

February 2, 2018

Hello Crafty Friends!  I’m so glad you are joining us for the big reveal from the craft room challenge.  This is where we see all our hard work paying off. If you want to see where I started head over to week one’s post or here’s just a single picture to remind you.

The biggest difference in my space is my desk, and my new drawers from Ikea.  Replacing the old cabinets from Michael’s has made such a difference in my organization.  The old cubes just didn’t have enough space to place and see anything effectively.  As you saw in my organization post I can now readily see what I have.  It makes such a difference.

Another change I made is that I removed the VERY large white cabinet from the wall.  You can see the bottom of it in the picture above.  It was just so bulky for the wall and since it was almost empty it was wasted space.  I replaced it with a wrought iron rack from Hobby Lobby that now holds my kits.  If you’d like to see how I’m storing my kits in the rack please let me know.  I’d LOVE to share.

Now on to the big reveal picture….

A clean craft space after the hard work of the craft room challenge

It looks so much bigger without stuff all on the floor and with less on the walls.  I’m also not sure that the cabinets on the left, where my printer is, are staying. The printer would fit on the Ikea drawers so that corner may be empty at some point, but I didn’t want to get rid of them just yet. I may use them to store the items in my shop and replace the bins I currently have, but we’ll see how that works when the products all come in.

Thank you so much for joining us each week this month, and we hope that you have gotten lots of ideas and inspiration to get your craft room in order.  If there’s anything more you’d like to see close up please let me know.  Until next time….

Craft Supply Organization-Craft Room Challenge

January 24, 2018

Good day everyone and welcome to week four of the craft room challenge!  This week we were focusing on craft supply organization.  This is my favorite part of clean up. I LOVE to organize and I have several ideas to share with you that I think are just great! If you want to see where I started in this journey be sure to check out week one.

***This post may contain affiliate links.  Please see sidebar for complete disclosure***

Bling/Tools

The first thing I want to share with you is how I store my bling and most used tools.  The bling includes, enamel dots, stickles, gems, single colored brads, etc.  Each color (or color family if I don’t have many) gets their own white basket*.  The baskets come in a set of three from Dollar Tree. so it is very affordable to separate them this way. When I want a certain accent piece I can now just pull out that color basket and everything is right there.  I also placed some shelf liner* on the bottom of the drawer so nothing slides around.

The tools are the ones that I used the most – think tape runner, sticker maker and tiny attacher. This is the top drawer of my Alex cube so it’s very accessible when I’m creating and easy for clean up after.

Washi/Glitter

I store my washi tape and glitter.  The storage is VERY similar to the bling, but I use long baskets again from Dollar Tree.  I attempt to keep them color organized, but this drawer is our 22 month olds favorite to play in.  I figure if arranging washi keeps her entertained for 20 minutes it really doesn’t matter what order they are in!

The glitter is in tiny bottles also from the dollar tree. I find these are perfect for putting a spoon in to scoop glitter out and the opening is large enough that pouring back in is easy.  There’s less mess this way for me.

Store washi and glitter easily and inexpensive

Embellishments

This is one of my favorite storage tips.  I bought a bunch of 4×6 plastic photo cases off eBay (it was the cheapest place at the time) and each collection gets its own case.  If I have two collections of the same topic, and from the same company, they will go in the case together each in a zip top bag to save space.  I am still toying with how I want to label these.  I don’t really care for the post it note as it block me from seeing what’s in the case, but I don’t want a permanent level either since when a collection is done the case will be re-used.  Any tips for me?

6×6 paper pads.

I have been using this method for a long time, and it’s still working wonderfully for me.

Week Five Mission

I hope those tips gave you some ideas, and now it’s one to week five!  This week we are to clean and decorate…if that’s your thing.  Vacuum that floor – dust the shelves and hang some things up that make you happy and inspire you to create. I can’t wait to share the reveal with you!

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!
