There’s always something a little fun about scrapping older photos. Such as this one, which was taken more than 30 years ago.

Let’s talk about the layout:

• What am I going to do if I ever run out of this woodgrain patterned paper? It’s from My Mind’s Eye, and I love it. I have a few more sheets, so I don’t have to worry about this now. But it’s definitely in the back of my mind. This paper creates a beautiful background.
• I used this sketch for my layout. I have a couple of sheets of those woodgrain labels, and this was a great way to use a bunch of them. I stamped on some and wrote journaling on others.
• Since the labels are a darker brown, I decided that was a good excuse to bring in some cork elements. I have a difficult time using them, but I like the way these look.
• The blue patterned paper has been in my stash for more than 15 years. I think it adds a nice touch of retro.

Here’s the process video. Hope you enjoy it!

Until next time!

This year I decided to give planning a try, and I decided to scrapbook about planning. My layout features March.

Let’s talk about the layout.

• I did lots of mixing and matching when it came to products. The color scheme originated with my planner pages, so I started with green and dark pink and went from there.
• I used a very big title because I needed something to stand out on this very colorful and busy page.
• No sketch for this one. I just positioned the planner pages on the layout and created a few clusters in the empty space.

Yes, there is a process video. Check it out below.

Until next time!

I stole this photo from my brother’s Facebook timeline. But I really couldn’t help it. It’s such a great picture of my parents.

Let’s talk about the layout.

• I used this sketch for the layout.
• The vanilla paper for the background is from my stash of Club Scrap cardstock. Always good to use some of that.
• It’s hard to find flair that doesn’t use a white background. But I finally managed it. That’s where it helps to have a large stash. 🙂

Until next time!

I participated in another YouTube hop. This one is about creating your own background on a scrapbook page.

Let’s jump right to the layout.

• I had a false start on my background–started one and then discarded it. I eventually used texture paste and mist to create my background.
• Two photo strips are the focus of this project. I wanted to do something a little different with them, so I cut them and spread them across the page.
• The black ribbon is from the wrapping around a Felicity Jane kit.
