In Scrapbooking Club this month we are scrapbooking our Christmas pictures!  Yes, I realize I'm a little late this month with my scrapbook pages, however, we changed our Scrap Club meeting to Jan. 28 as I was out of town on the 21st.  With this particular layout I focused on some of the ornaments that show on our Christmas tree. The coloring is not good in these pictures.  The background paper I used is Cherry Cobbler so the page is really more Christmasy than it looks.  If you look closely at both pages, you're going to notice that I actually cut some of the ornaments out of my Continue reading

Here is our third scrapbook layout for Scrap Club on Monday evening at the Mason Dixon Library.  My middle son, Jaan, turned 7th at the end of last month.  I can't believe he's 7!  In fact, as I was cutting out the title this morning I cut out a "6" and I was totally ready to adhere it to the page when I suddenly realized it wasn't right.  Wow! We are using some retired designer paper on these pages but that same retired DSP came up on the Clearance Rack just yesterday.  It's actually Christmas paper but you'd never know by the sheets I used. The title is cut out of DSP as well Continue reading

I finally got to sit down with some of the cookie pictures from the big cookie making day.  Can you tell how much fun we had?  We had our own photographer that day (my hubby) helping out with these fun pictures! We're going to make this layout in Scrap Club on Monday.  I love all the browns for the cookies but no doubt they will work well for many other photographs as well.  You could use this layout for so many occasions! How yummy those cookies look!  I think this is the perfect scrapbook page to showcase them, don't you? Here's the second scrapbook layout we'll be Continue reading

This scrapbook page is beautiful in real life with all the Glimmer Paper I pulled out to use!  These are a few pictures I took around our hotel when we went to Disney in the spring.  So pretty . . . and magical!  I think this layout would work very nicely for prom/homecoming pictures or another formal event as well! This one's a little more outdoorsy with the colors.  I used it for some bike riding pictures but the layout work wonderfully for any outdoors pictures such as hunting, fishing, hiking . . . I look forward to making these layouts with the Scrap Club members on Continue reading

I thought perhaps I should come back and share this scrapbook layout with you now that it has pictures.  It makes such a difference to the overall layout!  I took these pictures yesterday morning on Ethan's K4 field trip to Swamp Fox Farm.  Despite the rain, the little guys went to pick pumpkins. I used the Howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP in the Holiday Catalog.  The DSP has some fun plaids and stripes in it which are great for fall! Do you see the ribbon across the bottom of the page?  It is our 1/2" Striped Satin Ribbon found on page 26 of the Holiday Catalog.  I know it's hard to Continue reading

This layout will look a lot nicer once I have pictures on it but I wanted you to get the idea so those in Scrap Club can choose pictures to bring if they want.  You'll notice four upside-down pictures representing where pictures will be placed and then there are 5 vanilla squares where we will also have pictures. I thought the designer paper used on this layout would lend itself well to Halloween pictures if members have those, or, I plan to use this layout for pumpkin picking pictures.  Ethan's class is going to pick pumpkins the morning of Scrap Club so I hope to get the pictures Continue reading

Here's scrapbook layout number 2 for Scrap Club this coming Monday!  I'm keeping them pretty simple this month but fun with all the Designer Series Paper.  This particular paper is retired but I have so much of it, I couldn't resist using it for these pages. Believe it or not, I seem to be caught up on all of my fall pictures for scrapbooking so I've found myself scrounging for pictures.  These pictures were taken 2 years ago celebrating my mom's October birthday so I figured I could go a little fall on them and be okay.  I think my next scrapbook layout is going to be without pictures Continue reading

I can't believe it's Scrap Club time already!  This past month has flown by!  Unfortunately I'm a little behind getting pages made seeing as I spent all of yesterday laying down due to my sinuses.  Thankfully, I'm feeling much better today and I hope to get at least 2 of the layouts done today and possibly the third. I think think the colors of these photos may be just slightly off but not too badly. The base pages are Cajun Craze with the various colors included in the Orchard Harvest DSP.  The pictures I used are from two years ago.  Jaan was so very proud of the tissue paper and gift Continue reading

I had fun making this scrapbook page at Sue's private class last Friday evening and again at Georgie's party Saturday afternoon.  It's such a beautiful layout with the lovely fall colors and the eye catching buttons! The Orchard Harvest DSP sets a wonderful fall tone for any project.  Pulling out the new Autumn Accents Big Shot die and Perfectly Preserved stamp set add so much more! I hope you like the scrapbook layout.  It was a big hit this past weekend! Thank you for stopping by to visit today! Continue reading

Here is the third scrapbook layout we will be making this evening at the Stewartstown Scrapbook Club.    It's a simple layout using papers from our brights collection.  So many fun pictures could go on these pages! I  decided to use pictures from the Stewartstown Carnival this past summer.  Unfortunately, every single year I forget to take the camera with me.  Thankfully this year we at least remembered to take some pictures with our phones.  They're not the best but they're okay. The coloring is a bit off in this picture but you get the idea.  I look forward to making this Continue reading

We took a day to visit Gettysburg this summer.  It was a good day to go with some reenactments going on.  It seemed only right to go with a patriotic theme for this layout. I used designer paper from a variety of different paper packs, including some retired papers.  The letter were made using a retired set of alphabet die set. Another simple page for our Scrapbooking Club this week.  I'm sure we all have pictures that would work well on this patriotic page! Thank you for stopping by to visit today!   Continue reading
