Scrapbooking Old Family Pictures

by Becky Jensen on March 19, 2010

2-Page Scrapbook Layout

I hope you are not tired of seeing the scrapbook pages I am doing for my dad.  I’ve been in the mood to work on them lately and when I’m in the mood that’s what I have to do!

These are my grandparents, the pictures were taken just one year apart with their 50th wedding anniversary falling between the two pictures.

12x12 scrapbook Page

I wish I could have gotten better quality pictures because these really do not do justice to the pictures.  The hodgepodge hardware you see is some that retired a while back, I believe it was either Pewter or Antique Brass.

Bella Bleu & Sending Love DSP

You know, sometimes you don’t realize a picture is crooked until you take a picture of it. . .  The Designer Series Papers you see here are from the Bella Bleu, Sending Love and Parisian Summer (retired) packs.  Perhaps you recognize this basic layout, I used it before for my own family picture scrapbook layout.

For those of you who make cards and not scrapbook pages, have no fear, I will be posting some cards soon!  Please be sure to check back!

More Kind Thoughts Brocade Stencil Projects

by Becky Jensen on March 17, 2010

Stampin' Up! Decor Stencil

I hope you liked the card yesterday because I was still stuck in that same design mode today!  I made both a card and a scrapbook page with the very idea I used yesterday

To make this 4×4 card I used the Kind Thoughts Brocade Stencil from the Decor Elements brochure, the En Francais background stamp, Chocolate Chip Satin Ribbon and Very Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware.

Family Portrait Scrapbook Page

Here is the scrapbook page I made with the same basic idea as the card.  What do you think?  This picture is of my parents, my siblings and myself.  I’m the cute little one with pigtails!  This scrapbook page is for inside my father’s scrapbook that he asked me to make.  You can see another page of the scrapbook by following this link to a vintage scrapbook page.

The colors on this scrapbook page page are just a little different from the cards.  I used Kraft cardstock as I did with the cards, however, instead of Chocolate Chip I substituted Soft Suede since it coordinated better with the picture.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing these projects, I’m sure you’ll be seeing this stencil again.  I’m thinking it would be nice with Bravo Burgundy and maybe a touch of Pretty in Pink . . .

Scallop Circle Scrapbook Page

by Becky Jensen on March 15, 2010

Scallop Circle Die

Here is the third and final layout for Scrap Club tonight.  This is a simple layout with the Scallop Circle die and the Scallop Circle Punch.

Kraft Corduroy Buttons

With this simple layout any pictures can fit in here just perfectly.  The pictures I used on this layout are of my kids playing at the park when we were on vacation.  They had a great time!

To the Nines Specialty DSP

For those in the club, your pages are going to be different colors.  Regardless of that, the pages are going to be great!

Thank you for stopping by!  I appreciate any comments you might leave!

April Showers Bring May Flowers

by Becky Jensen on March 14, 2010

Two-Page Scrapbook Layout

Here is another scrapbook layout we’ll be making in Scrap Club this coming Monday.  I haven’t had a chance to put my title on there yet but it will be “April Showers Bring May Flowers”.  Once in a while it’s okay to put boys on floral scrapbook pages!

Swirly Sizzlit Decorative Strip Die

On the left of the page I used the Swirly die with Glorious Green and then part of the dahlia fold to make the flowers.  The pictures are of some wild flowers growing in our backyard last spring.  They were so beautiful!

Stampin' Up! exclusive Top Note die

The Top Note is a wonderful size for journaling.  I will actually place the second half of my title in there “bring May flowers” once I have a chance to do it.

Thank you for stopping by to visit!  I look forward to this new week and all the creativity to come with it!

A Scrapbooking Challenge to Myself

February 19, 2010

I gave myself a little bit of a challenge yesterday.  I challenged myself to sit down and create a scrapbook page using all four of the techniques I was about to teach in Technique Club.  I did it!
The left-hand page is simply a collage of pictures.  These are pictures of the bay from our vacation.  [...]

I (heart) U When You’re . . .

February 15, 2010

Here is the third scrapbook layout we’re doing at Scrapbook Club (weather permitting) tonight.  I used one of our chipboard hearts from the Occasions Mini catalog and covered it with DSP and embossed on the swirly from Wedding Sweet.  It may be heard to read, the title/journaling says “I (heart) U when you’re goofy, messy, [...]

Wings of Friendship Scrapbook Page

February 14, 2010

I’m afraid I wasn’t able to get very good pictures of this scrapbook layout.  I really need to take pictures when there is more light outside so the flash won’t reflect off the pictures.  In any case, I hope you can get the idea.  We will be making this layout at Scrapbook Club tomorrow evening.
Here [...]
