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. 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! 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
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! 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! The Top Note is a wonderful size for journaling. I will actually place the second half of my title in there "bring May Continue reading
2-page Bayside Scrapbook Layout
Sorry to be rather late with my post for today! I had the scrapbook layout done yesterday but just never got around to typing up this post and making it live at 12:01 A.M. as I usually do. This is one of the layouts we will be making for Scrap Club this coming Monday. The Scrapbook Club meets at the Mason-Dixon Library in Stewartstown, PA the third Monday of each month to make six 12"x12" scrapbook pages (usually in the form of three 2-page layouts.) If you would like more information on the club please contact me. The colors used in this layout are Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa and Continue reading
A Scrapbooking Challenge to Myself
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 focused in on my youngest and my hubby with these pages. I did all four techniques on this page. They're all totally different techniques but I think they came together well. Really, this could be a single page layout by itself. Here are the handmade buttons I showed you yesterday. Continue reading
I (heart) U When You're . . .
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, happy, naughty. This sort of layout is a wonderful way to use those odd pictures you have lying around. I always have leftover pictures from layouts and so this is a great way to find a home for them! Here's a closeup of the left-hand page. I used the Serif Essentials Continue reading
Wings of Friendship Scrapbook Page
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 is the left hand page of the layout. I used paper from the Sending Love Specialty and Bella Bleu DSP packs as well as a little bit of retired DSP which I believe was the Parisian Breeze DSP. I used the Wings of Friendship level 2 hostess stamp set as well as the Sweet Pea Stitched Felt and Continue reading
Snowy Scrapbook Club Layout
Whew! It has been quite a week! There was the snow, my husband being stuck in Indiana for days due to flight cancellations (coming home today!!!), kids, rescheduling classes and on and on . . . I think I'm about done in! I can't wait to get away from the house for a little bit (without kids!) Anyway, with all that going on I'm afraid my scrapbook layouts for Scrap Club are coming to you a little late. Of course with the chance of more snow on the way, I'll be in contact with club members if we have to make any changes Monday. It seemed fitting with all the snow we've been having to do Continue reading
Sending Love Specialty Scrapbook Page
This is such a beautiful scrapbook page that would be wonderful for pictures of a little girl in her Sunday best or while she picks flowers or . . . ! If I had a little girl I'd be very excited to put pictures of her on here! You may remember a 2-page scrapbook layout I did a few months ago that was very similar to this one. On this page I used the new Sending Love Specialty Designer Paper from the occasions Mini Catalog, flowers from the Pretties Kit, Jumbo Eyelets, Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon and the Sale-A-Bration Scallop Trim Punch. Oh, the letters were cut from Chocolate Chip Continue reading
Vintage Vogue 12×12 Scrapbook Page
I feel very honored that my dad has asked me to make a 12x12 scrapbook of family pictures and documents he has! I consider it a privilege and I hope he and the rest of my family will like it when I'm done. I started my mission yesterday with this page. These are my grandparents. I'm not sure if this will actually end up as the first page of the book or not but I think it would look great there! This is my favorite picture of those given to me to scrapbook! With an old and treasured picture I wanted to be very careful not to ruin it. Naturally I had to put adhesive on the back of the Continue reading
I think I can, I think I can
Here's a fun scrapbook layout I made yesterday! This is my littlest guy going down the sliding board with Daddy's help. I just love the expressions on his face! The numbers you see are from the On Board Lots of Letters chipboard set. I used a variety of the styles of numbers, including positive and negative images, so I could use up some of the odd pieces I have lying around. They are coated with Night of Navy craft ink and then adhered to a piece of Whisper White cardstock punched with the 1 3/4" circle punch. The design you see behind the larger pictures was cut from Whisper White Continue reading
Inspired by Nature Scrapbook Layout
We had a wonderful time at Technique Club last night! We learned some FUN techniques (there's a little inside joke there) and had a great time stamping and laughing together! After everyone left, and the kids were in bed, I sat down and put this scrapbook layout together. This is the coach house we rented at the end of August near Bethany Beach, DE. We've never rented a home like that for vacation but it was wonderful! I have a bunch of pictures from our vacation but chose to devote one layout simply to the house and the community it was in. As I got these pictures out I immediately Continue reading
Snow Play Scrapbook Pages
I had some ladies over to scrapbook this morning and then this afternoon I sat down for some more scrapbooking. This layout is of my sons playing in the snow last winter. We will be doing this as one of our layouts for Scrapbooking Club next week at the Stewartstown Mason-Dixon Library. Here's a close up of the left-hand page. I used the Serif Essentials alphabet die with the Big Shot to cut the letters for "SNOW." The snowflakes were cut using the Snowflake #2 die. The colors for this page are Night of Navy, Whisper White, Tempting Turquoise and Taken with Teal. I don't often find Continue reading
