I took this picture of my Cue-man and absolutely had to scrapbook it.

Let’s talk about the layout.

• This layout is part of my Scrap Start series, where I start with a scrap and build my layout from there. I’ve had that striped paper for ages and wanted to use it in a big block on a layout. I was able to do that here.
• I got to use lots of older stickers and ephemera. So much fun!
• I love how the tag looks as part of the main cluster. I need to use tags this way more often.

There’s so much more about this layout. You know what to do: check out the process video.

Hope you enjoy. I’ll be back with another video soon. Take care!

Concerts are one of my favorite things, so I decided to scrapbook some photos from a concert I attended a few years ago.

Let’s talk about the layout.

• I used lots of scraps for this layout. I’ve had the ampersand paper for a long time. I’m pleased to finally use some of it.
• There were originally some hearts on the grid paper I used as the background. The color scheme of the hearts didn’t work with my other papers, so I ended up covering the hearts instead. It’s all about making your supplies work for you.
• I like this page but it’s not one of my favorites. They can’t all be a favorite, right? Looking back, I might have liked it better if I’d added some circles to break up some of the lines a little.

Watch the whole page come together in my process video.

I’ll be back with another video. See you soon!

Can I just say how much I adore this boy? He is my little sweetheart, and I will never get tired of creating scrapbook pages about him.

Let’s talk about the layout.

• Big thanks to karinec at Two Peas Refugees for gifting me with several oval embellishments. I used a gray one on this layout, and it inspired the title as well.
• The photo inspired the yellow and gray color scheme. I added a pop of navy blue as well and really like this addition.
• I initially tried using three of the stitched hearts like the one at the bottom left of the page. They were too overwhelming, however, so I replaced two of them with smaller gold hearts and like the results much better.

Of course, there is a process video, so you can watch how this layout comes together.

I’ll be back with another video. See you soon!

My coworkers and I had an eclipse party during the solar eclipse a few years ago, and I took a picture of the goodies everyone brought to mark the occasion. I finally got it scrapbooked.

Let’s talk about the layout.

• This page took a long time to finish. I started it one way and moved to something else. I think the background paper is part of the struggle. It’s a cupcake sprinkle pattern from an old Felicity Jane kit. That pattern seemed very appropriate thematically, but it’s a little busier than a plain background, so I kept questioning it. In the end, I like it.
• I used up most of my remaining 2 x 2 cards from old Messy Box (no longer in business) kits. I think I have two left, so yay me!
• I love all the colors on this page but especially appreciate the pop of red.

As always, there’s more information about how this layout came together. You can see it in my process video.

Hope you enjoy! I’ll see you again soon.

I love creating layouts about my boys. This one features Cupid.

Let’s talk about the layout.

• This page started with a different title: It’s Cupid’s House–We Just Live Here. I’m still going to use the title for a page, but it wasn’t quite the right one for this one.
• The color stripes at the bottom of the patterned paper determined the color scheme of this layout. I am especially fond of the pops of blue.
• That wood veneer has been languishing in my stash for a while. It’s so nice to finally put it to use. I love how the color matches the background paper.

There are a few surprises in how this layout came together. You can check them out in the process video.

Thanks for watching. Until next time. <3
