Mother and Son Scrapbook Layout

September 27, 2020

Hey crafty friends!  I’m back today sharing a mother and son scrapbook layout for the Paper Issues sketch challenge as well as the thankful challenge from Challenge YOUrself.  I had entered my Mother Daughter layout in the thankful challenge earlier this month so how could I not include photos of my boy and I as well!?

I’m not usually one to gravitate to a sketch that includes triangles as the main element, but with how large these were I knew I could use a 6×6 paper pad easily to get the look they were going for.  I also liked that the sketch had two photos since I had two photos of just M and I during vacation.  Is there a shape you usually shy away from in your crafting?

To get the triangles I cut my 6×6 paper into 5 inch squares and then cut them in half to get my triangles. The striped paper I cut in half again for the triangles in the corner.  It came together really fast when it came to the paper portion.  The embellishments is always where a layout takes me the longest.

I printed my journaling on a scrap of cream cardstock, and cut it into strips.  to do this I start by printing the journaling first on computer paper. After that’s done printing I then cut a square of cardstock larger than needed, and washi it to my paper.  I then run it through the printer again and it comes out perfectly placed on my cardstock.

Since my paper choices were rather busy, and my journaling took up so much space I kept the embellishments very close to the photo so that they didn’t overwhelm everything else.  A simple title in the triangle at the top and my layout was done.

Thanks so much for joining me today as I show off my creation.  I appreciate each and everyone one of you who read my ramblings as often, or not, that I’m here.  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.

Adorable Baby Girl Scrapbook Layout

August 23, 2020

Hey crafty friends!  Welcome to another layout here at The Paper Addict.  Thank you for joining me.  Today I want to share my adorable baby girl scrapbook layout that I created for the August challenge over at Scrap the Girls.

scrap the girls august 2020

This month the blog challenged us to use an inspiration image to create the layout.  It’s one that is VERY open to interpretation. When I looked at the image I saw a lady who looked happy to be opening her heart to new growth.  What better to depict new growth and happiness than a baby.  This lead me to my daughters five month old baby shoot, and one of my favorite photos of her ever.

Adorable Baby Girl Scrapbook Layout

I started with a pink piece of cardstock from American crafts as the base of this layout since I didn’t have any full 12×12 pieces of patterned paper left.  I then took the largest piece of paper I had to create the base.

Everything else on the layout is scraps! I distressed all the edges and layered them in various ways to create a base for them in the middle of the paper.  Some strips long the right edge and paper wise I felt like I had enough interest and any more would be to much.

I sprinkled on my embellishments and a silver foiled title piece and the layout was complete.  It really didn’t take all that long…maybe 30 minutes, which for me is great!

Back to creating I go everyone.  Let me know what you created with this image so I can see how you interpreted it.  Until next time…stay crafty!

School Photo Boy Scrapbook Layout

August 11, 2020

Hey crafty friends!  Welcome back to another project.  I decided not to do goals this month as we have such a busy schedule with time away, sports starting, school starting, etc.  I just wanted to enjoy being creative when I could during this hectic time.  So I present for your viewing pleasure this school photo boy scrapbook layout.

To create this page I started with a sketch created by Lisa from Sketch~N~Scrap. I took her sketch and flipped it upside down so that the photo was on the opposite side for whatever reason it just didn’t look right to me with my nephew “looking” the other way.  Instead of using two photos I used one larger one of my nephew’s school photo shoot.  It was perfect since I often don’t know what to do with the larger 5×7 photo size. I didn’t have a huge title to use so I used that block for some embellishments, and also gave my sister-in-law a journalling spot to record some of her thoughts from his second grade year.

The product collection is an older echo park called Jack and Jill.  There was a boy collection and a girl collection.  I still have lots of the boy set left so it’s something I should focus on using up.  Isn’t that always what we’re trying to do!?

Okay, I really should get going and get some home things accomplished.  I am always focused on cleaning out the house, but even more so now that schooling will be done at home!  The less stuff around the less distractions we all will have. Until next time…stay crafty and stay safe.

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!
