Travel Double Page Scrapbook Layout

January 18, 2021

Hey crafty friends!  Can you believe I’m back again already!!?? This time I’m back with a double page layout.  The left hand page of this travel double page scrapbook layout is inspired by the layout sketch from Sketch~N~Scrap. The right hand page was adapted from a sketch from one of Alison Davis’s sketch books.

I stuck very closely to the sketch for the strips on the left hand side and where the title is.  I did not however use the strips under the photos.  I used larger photos so once I matted them the strips just didn’t fit without making the layout look over crowded.  I do still need to add my journalling in the space above my title. Oh, my hubby did let me know that I need to an a b to my title:-)

Travel scrapbook layout

For this layout I used an older Simple Stories collection called So Rad.  If I have my years correct this collection came out in 2015.  One of my goals for this year is to use more collections than I buy so you’ll likely be seeing many older collections from me this year.

I am also trying not to be so fussy about every scrap of paper.  Will I still gut my 12×12 sure, but I’m going to try to no over analyze every photo I back and the like.  I will not overthink cutting a piece of paper for a strip.  I mean we all have enough to last a lifetime don’t we!?

I also managed to make a process video to go along with these pages…I’m feeling like a rock star…lol If you’d like to watch me create please go on over and check that out.  I’d love to have you subscribe.

Okay – I’m signing off to hopefully go create more.  I love being able to share with you more regularly.  If you like to see me use a specific collection let me know, and if I have it, I’d be happy to try.  Until next time….stay crafty!

Hello Adventure Birthday Girl Scrapbook Layout

January 17, 2021

Hey crafty friends!  I hope the start of 2021 is treating you well so far.  I’m back sharing a new layout today for the Scrap the Girls Dead Men Tell No Tails Challenge. Despite the ominous name of the challenge I chose to great a hello adventure birthday girl scrapbook layout. The challenge was using the below image, and one could take inspiration as it struck them.

Scrap the girls inspiration image

The image for me gave me inspiration in three different ways.  The first was the color scheme.  I turned to my scraps of the very old Simple Stories collection called Vintage Bliss.  The collection had pink, aqua, yellow and green just like the above image.

The second way the image gave my inspiration was the flowing hair of the mermaid.  In the one picture our photographer captured out daughters hair is flowing straight out behind her as she played. The third way I received inspiration from the image was the wood of the boat.  I used this to use two wood veneer pieces for my title.

This 12×12 layout was also created using just scraps of a 6×6 paper pad.  I used a sketch from one Alison Davis’s sketchbooks that use only a 6×6 paper pad.  This particular sketch was even better as I was able to use just my scrap pieces and didn’t need full 6×6 sheets.  I didn’t have any embellishments left from this collection so I cut some butterflies from one of the papers, and used some bits and bobs from old Felicity Jane kits as well as some generic things like enamel dots and phrase stickers.

I hope you’ve enjoyed hearing and seeing my take on the challenge, and that is inspired you to play along as well.  If you do play along, please leave me a comment with you link so I can check your creation out as well.  Until next time….stay crafty!

Mother Daughter Scrapbook Layout

September 16, 2020

Hey crafty friends!  I’m back today with a layout for both the Paper Issues scraplift challenge and for Challenge Yourself’s thankful challenge.  I did double duty with this Mother Daughter Scrapbook Layout.

I choose to use this photo of our daughter and I on our recent socially distanced beach vacation.  We always book our week the year before so this trip was planned well before the pandemic.  I looked into getting our funds back, and we couldn’t, so we took the trip and did our best to maintain distance.  We didn’t do rides or arcades…just beach and supper.  It was actually quite nice as we came up with more things to do as a family.  I’m thankful for the time away to recharge, I’m thankful for the yummy food we ate after this picture and I am of course thankful for the munchkin in the photo with me.

The Paper Issues layout I used as inspiration had torn edges.  I have tried numerous times to do that, but I just isn’t something I feel like I pull off well.  What I did instead was to use my edge distressed to at least give it a roughed up edge. I then distressed them with my Tim Holtz Scattered Straw mini ink pad and blender.

All the papers, embellishments and washi come from the Simple Stories Kate and Ash collection.  I head off on buying this one, but I had seen so many cute pages using in on Pinterest that on my last store order I included it for myself.  After completing this page…I’m so glad I picked it up.

Well,  I think that’s it for now.  I hope to be off to creating more soon because to be real…this cyber school thing is kicking this momma’s butt!  Until next time…stay safe…stay sane and stay crafty.

Dream Little Girl Scrapbook Layout

July 17, 2020

Hey crafty friends!  I’m so happy to be back sharing a new creation with you.  I made this Dream Little Girl scrapbook layout for the July challenge over at Scrap The Girls.  The have a fun mood board as inspiration this month.

Scrap the girls July 2020

I muted the colors from the board a bit when creating my layout, but kept the fun feeling from the girl having candy.  I used photos from our little girls third birthday shoot  in which she was being sweet rather than sassy to play into the candy theme.  She’s also wearing pink and aqua which are in the mood board.

Dream Little Girl

Since I was at the end of the Simple Stories Enchanted collection so I didn’t have much left.  It was one piece of 12×12 and the cut apart cards.  I went with a grid layout because it allowed me to use the cut apart for matting and squares other than my photo.  I embellished each square with matching piece from the die cut packet.

Dream Little Girl Scrapbook Layout

Some of the die cuts were silver foil and they gave the grid just a little extra something.  I used the word dream as my biggest little, but each block really could have been a title in and of itself.  And let’s not even talk about how cute our little girl is in these.  It’s so hard for me to believe she’s 4 already!

Well, I think that’s it for now.  Tell me what you’ve been creating and be sure to head over to Scrap the Girls and see all the inspiration they have provided for the mood board.  Until next time…stay crafty!
