Two Peas In A Pod Boy Scrapbook Layout

July 8, 2020

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!

June Monthly Goals Recap and July Goals

July 3, 2020

Hey crafty friends!  I’m back with my recap of my June monthly goals and what I plan to try to accomplish in July.  June took an unexpected turn, and I’m back in my original space so some goals no longer needed to be done and some didn’t get accomplished because of the “move”

So here’s my list of June 2020 scrapbook monthly goals to make my creating in what was my new space easier:

  1. I would like to aim again for four layouts this month even with this re-organization project going on.  This unfortunately did not get accomplished due to my reorganizing and moving back to my original scrap space.  It’s ok though…I’m so happy to be back where I can create videos and just be more comfortable.
  2. I will be organizing all my 12×12 paper in a 31 your way cube using Darice self storing bags.  I will never take a collection from it’s original bag again.  Even though they were tight in their storage area, and I used binder clips – everything was always falling all over. This is was sort of accomplished.  I managed to get everything out of three fold and files and into one 31 your way cube.  I was not however able to get all the collections that were in my project planners in the cube.  There just wasn’t enough space, which means I need to focus on using somethings up.darcie self sealing pockets
  3. If a collection has matching embellishments I will be taking though out of the package and attaching them to a single sheet of cardstock using a repositionable mounting square.  That single sheet will go in the Darice package.  My goal is to be able to see my die cuts when I’m creating without having them in a bowl on the table since my table size has been reduced.  I also want to be able to discard all that packing.  I’ll show you the trash can when I’ve completed it to see how much waste there was. This was accomplished with one exception.  I did not do this for my Bella Blvd collections as I had the die cuts and word die cuts totally over 200 pieces. I found it a waste of cardstock and adhesive to mount that many for one collection.  As I start to use them I’ll do a cardstock for them when it’s a reasonable amount.  I took a photo of the trash can, but you can’t really tell how much is in there.  I’d say it was 3/4 full!
  4. Re-organize my cart so I can get to everything nicely.  I know this sounds easy, but I’m not sure it will be as I’m still trying to adapt my whole room storage to the cart. This did not get accomplished since I moved back into my original space.  I will tell you though that using that cart for three months has really taught me what I use, and reach for, and what can be purged.  When I brought things back downstairs I did a good amount of purging from this space.

Now onto July’s monthly goals!  It took me awhile to decide what I wanted to do this month.  I’ve had lots of cups to work on, and trips to the pool with the kids so I knew it had to be manageable.  What I decided was to go back to my original idea and kill a kit.  With not being able to fit everything in my 31 cube I need to get some of the overflow used up for the space to really look clean.  My goal for this month is the kill my Felicity Jane Kate kit from I believe July 2017. If you’d like to see the Kate kit here is the video unboxing I did many moons ago.

 

So do you think I can do it?  How would you tackle the Kate kit? Share your thoughts with me, and tips or tricks you have for using things up or your goals for the month.  Until next time…stay crafty!

2 Cute Girl Scrapbook Layout

June 30, 2020

Hey crafty friends!  I’m back again today sneaking one last blog post in for the month.  For this one I used the sketch from Scrap The Girls to create this 2 cute girl scrapbook layout. Sketches are one of my favorite ways to start a page, and I’m much more likely to enter a challenge if it’s sketch based.  What is your favorite way to start a page or what’s your favorite challenge type?

For this layout I took what I would call the spirit of the sketch and went from there.  For the background pieces and banners I changed them into just horizontal strips to use up my scraps.  I then placed my main photo offset just like the sketch, but I used one photos instead of that whole block.  Then where the bottom balloon is I added a second photo.  I think you can see the sketch in my layout, but it’s not a strict copy.

2 Cute Girl Scrapbook Layout

The photos are of our daughter on our sons first day of school…convoluted right!? I obviously was taking pictures of him and she wanted to be part of the photo shoot.  After he was done I snapped some of her, and they came out just too cute not to document.  You can even see her backward shoes.  Four years old and she still prefers them that way.

Well,  It’s the last day of the month so I better run off and start thinking about what I want to get done for July.  Until next time…stay crafty!

Last Day of School Scrapbook Layout

June 29, 2020

Hey crafty friends!  I’ve finally got a chance to make a project this month, and I decided to do a Last Day Of Day School Scrapbook Layout.  I used the sketch that Laura for My Creative Scrapbook  for the month of June.

The sketch had three photos, which was perfect since I had one of each kiddo and then one of them together.  I was so excited to have these.  With all of the time at home lately they’ve been a bit frustrated with each other so to be hugging and smiling…amazing!

Last Day Of School Scrapbook Layout

I actually created a video to go along with this layout that shares more about what I did with the sketch, and where I’ve been regarding process videos. I’d love for you to come over and watch it.

Well,  I think that’s it for me right now.  I’m going to go and try to get myself re-settled in my new old space (if you haven’t watch the video I explain there) to be able to get more accomplished. Until next time…stay crafty!

Wedding Cake Scrapbook Layout

June 10, 2020

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!
