I know some scrapbookers are tired of pink and aqua. I’m not one of them–I still love this color combo!

I love this selfie, and I love the story this layout tells. So let’s get to it. 🙂

• Here’s the sketch I used for this page. I used one larger photo instead of four smaller ones, but the design is much the same otherwise.
• I struggled to come up with a title, so I asked the Two Peas Refugees for help. They asked me about the story I wanted to tell with this layout, and that got me on track. Once I knew I wanted to focus on light and sunshine, the title came easily.
• I used texture paste to add color to the diamond diecut. It was hard to get even coverage, and I had to cut out the paste from the center where the words are. It ended up fine, but if I had to do it again I would use mist instead. It would give the piece a similar look without the work.

Thanks for visiting! See you again soon.

I want my scrapbooks to be a complete reflection of me. My Scrapping the Spectrum series is about scrapping all of life’s emotions, including things that make me sad or mad. This layout captures a sad moment.

I know that gaming is not a big deal for a lot of people, but after playing Criminal Case for several years I grew attached to the characters. So I was sad about a certain character development. I’m not going into specifics to avoid spoiling it for anyone who might be playing. Anyway, this was a small moment in my life but did have an impact. So I’m scrapbooking it.

Let’s talk about the layout.

• Sketch Savvy is one of my favorite sketch sites, and I used one of the sketches for this layout.
• One of my favorite things to do when scrapbooking is mix and match papers and products from different companies. I really like pulling a variety of disparate items and bringing them together on one page. I did that with this page and love the way the papers go together.
• I used a bullet hole stamp on this page, which I like, but I think I should have stamped it in a different color. Maybe red. Right now I think it blends too much with the rest of the navy.

Thanks for watching. Until next time. 🙂

Whenever I take a trip there is usually some kind of misadventure. I consider myself lucky if there is only one. 🙂 I took a trip last month that started with me making the wrong choice when I came to a fork in the road, probably because I didn’t realize I was at a fork. My drive ended up being a bit longer than expected. Oops!

Now, let’s talk about the layout.

• This layout fits in three of my video series: Scrapping the Spectrum, Memorabilia Medley, and Something Old Something New. The map patterned paper is easily 15 years old or more. I knew it would come in handy eventually. I have a few scraps left, and I’m going to try and use those up soon.
• Here’s the sketch that inspired me.
• I created this layout for a challenge in the Victoria Marie Facebook group. Fun times on International Scrapbook Day.

And here is the process video.

Until the next one!
