Two Peas In A Pod Boy Scrapbook Layout

Hey crafty friends!  It’s that time again where I get to share with you what I created for the Southern Girls Challenge team. For our go around this time I used photos of my hubby and son to create this Two Peas In A Pod Boy Scrapbook Layout.

These photos were taken on our son’s last birthday trip while we were out for dinner and one of our new favorite places.  I’ve been going to this beach since I was seven and we tried this restaurant for the first time this year.  Why did we wait that long… it’s amazing!

Two Peas In A Pod Boy Scrapbook Layout

Our son was sitting with my hubby, they were wearing the same shirt, and making funny faces…despite it being grainy photos from being inside at night…it was a must scrap.  The two peas title so fits them because other than their face shape they are almost identical.  They have the same body style, same hair texture, same fingers and toes, similar personalities – it’s adorable.

As a side note, if you have any tips on photographing cream paper I could sure use them.  Anytime I try to take pictures of layouts with a cream base they look all wonky.  Either the color isn’t right, even with correcting in software, of it gets these weird lines.

I think that’s it for now.  The design speaks for itself, but it’s the story I wanted to share with you.  I hope it inspires you to use some of those photos that aren’t stunning from a photography standpoint, but have a special story worth documenting. Until next time…stay crafty!

Wedding Cake Scrapbook Layout

Hey crafty friends!   It’s that time of the month again when I share what I created for Team Lou over at Southern Girls Challenge with the theme anything goes.  I created this wedding cake scrapbook layout with one of the collections I was trying to kill, and it matches my Cutie Cousins page I made for the challenge last month.

This is another idea my friend Khristina had for using 2×2 squares and was again perfect for using up a 6×6 or when all you have is scraps.  I did this one on black paper so it wouldn’t be exactly like my other layout, but then it also matches my hubbies suit.

As I was working on these I can’t believe that my wedding album isn’t finished.  We’ll be married 15 years next week.  I think my problem is I started it so many years ago and some of those layouts make me cringe and then many of my photos are printed 5×7.  I really don’t scrap anything that large anymore so it’s slow going getting this done.

Well, I’m off to keep working on my organization goals for the month, getting my cart organized and then I have another project planned that I can’t wait to share with you. Let me know what you’re up to in the comments below.  Until next time…..stay crafty!

Best Friends Scrapbook Layout

Hey crafty friends!  Welcome back to another anything goes challenge with Southern Girls.  For this challenge I decided to work on some of my April goals and use my Authentique Loyal papers to make a best friends scrapbook layout.

Best friends scrapbook layout

Since I was trying to kill this kit I pulled it out first when working this month. I was struggling big time though because most of the embellishments I had left were for brothers.  I found a few though that could be used for friends so I went searching for a photo of my bestie and I.  I felt like this photo worked well because there weren’t a lot of competing colors…it was just us.

I started with the lined paper as my base (which isn’t 12×12, but I made it such with the triangle pieces) and layered up loads of scraps under the photo.  I distressed all the edges and inked them with a blending foam and matching ink.  It was looking a bit sparse though since there was so much space so I cut some triangle pieces for the top and bottom which worked well for design and making the layout the traditional size.

I tried to get a piece of flair on here too since that I also one of my monthly goals, but none of them fit quiet right visually.  Well,  I think that’s it for now.  I’m gonna sign off and try to get working on those goals.  Until next time…stay crafty!

Multi Photo Christmas Scrapbook Layout

Hey crafty friends!  I’m back with another layout for the Southern Girls Challenge blog. I have honestly been so bad in the last year with making sure I was completing my commitments for them that I’m thrilled to be posting on time to months in a row.  Thanks for being patient with me Lou!  This month I made a multi photo Christmas scrapbook layout.

I had these adorable photos of my “nieces and nephews” that were in their families Christmas card.  I knew I couldn’t just toss them, and I don’t do double pages anymore so they all needed to somehow get on one page.  Can you believe I managed to get them all on there and with the amount of room left I also didn’t need to worry about much embellishing…win win isn’t it!

This project was also perfect for using a 6×6 paper pad on.  I have stopped buying 6×6 pads because I find I don’t use them frequently, but I have a ton still left from before.  With the way the photos are arranged on this layout the photo on the right made a perfect place to hide a seem.

I hope this gave you an arrangement idea for getting many photos on your layout and possibly using up some of your 6×6 paper sheets.  Be sure to pop over to the Souther Girls and enter your creations in the challenge.  Until next time….stay crafty!

Fall Sibling Scrapbook Layout

Hey Scrap Friends!  Can you believe I have two posts so far this month!?  That certainly is a record right now.  This fall sibling scrapbook layout is my share for the anything goes challenge over at the Southern Girls Challenge blog, and using the weekly sketch from the Hip Kit Club facebook group.

For this challenge I used a photo of my niece and nephew during her two year photo shoot.  While it was her birthday shoot the photo wasn’t particularly birthday themed, and it hard her brother, so I didn’t think birthday paper was appropriate.  My nephew was in the photo so I didn’t want to use girl themed paper.  It wasn’t Christmas, Easter, Halloween, etc. so  are you seeing my dilemma?

I ended up going with fall paper for three reasons.  The first is that they are sitting in front of a brick wall and on a brick walkway.  The red of the brick would match the red in most fall paper collections.  My niece is also born at the end of September so it technically was fall. Last, but not least fall paper tends to be gender neutral so it fit that both kiddos were in the picture.

So what do you think?  Did I make the layout work for both my niece and my nephew?  I sure hope my Sister-In-Law thinks so!  Until next time….stay crafty!
