Scrapbooking, Splish & Splash

SplishSplash1
 
I created this page for the design team call over on the Memory Nest.  The yellow, blue, and green colors remind me a lot of my childhood bedroom, so bright and happy.  My background paper is from echo park's everyday eclectic. I also used up a bunch of scrap paper bits I had from Amy Tangerine.  I really wanted a frame around the middle photo but couldn't find anything that worked so I made it with just some light blue cardstock, a little misting on top of it, and a few doodles.

I found the Splish sticker in my stash.  I have had it for years and finally got the chance to use it.  The little blue calendar I made from some plain old blue cardstock.  I also used some misting and some sparkly jewels because they reminded me of bubbles.  I love adding some sparkle to a page!

I also added a little stitching with the heart and added a wooden veneer one too.  I have had such a hard time getting my hands on any wooden veneer pieces, but I finally got my hands on some cute hearts and arrows.  No stores by me carry them and all the ones online seem to be out of stock constantly.  I love the look of the raw wood!  I also stamped a few tiny hearts onto the page too.  You can never have too many hearts on a page.

    Beautiful layout. Love the colors. Green and yellow are so pretty but can be so hard to work with. You did a wonderful job.

Valentine's Day Wreath

Now that the Christmas decorations are down, it is time to make some Valentine's Day decorations to put up! I have seen some in the store, but it is much more fun to make your own.  So here is how I made my sweet heart wreath. First you need a hoop (the one I used had about a 7 in diameter), 7 big wooden hearts, 8 small wooden hearts, paint, glitter, ribbon, and some hot glue. I took all my hearts and painted them a solid color and then went back over them and made some patterns or outlined them. I thought they were looking a little boring so I went back and put some glitter on random ones. Then I went around and hot glued the big ones and tried to make them as evenly spaced as possible. Then I hot glued the smaller ones on top of the bigger hearts, tied some ribbon, and then hung on my door!

Scrapbooking, First Solo

I can't believe how much time has gone by since I last scrapbooked.  Well, I finally have been inspired to scrap again and I found a fun challenge with a very happy mood board that got my creative juices going again. Recently, my daughter got to dance her first solo on a stage.  I had only seen her dance this when she was first learning this.  She had a broken wrist at the time, so I never had seen some of the moves until she danced it on stage.  It had been over a year since she was on a stage and she has never been on one all by herself.  I wasn't sure how she was going to do.  I could tell she was getting nervous, but she did a beautiful job.  I was a very proud mommy.  =)  I really wanted to add one more picture, so I added this photo on a pull out tab.  I always enjoy the pages that have a little interactive part to them. While the paper I used for this layout was all new, all the embellishments are things that I have had for a long time.  I used some old stickers, wooden

Scrapbooking, Girl Scout Camp

So this is a layout that I made for a mixed media challenge and it isn't at all how I planned for it to turn out.  It started with a long hunt on finding my daughter's girl scout camp photos.  I knew that there were more of her at camp, but never found them.  I wanted to do a layout filled with triangles, but I couldn't cut a decent triangle for the life of me.  Then I saw a cool sketch with hexagons and planned on doing that.  I happily made a shape on my silhouette and then used it to cut all my photos.  I was playing around, but couldn't get my photos to line up like the sketch.  I was super puzzled and then I realized why.  I made pentagons instead of hexagons!  I played for a long time with my pentagons trying to get a layout that I liked and eventually came up with this flower shape.  Overall, it's a fun layout that is drastically different then my normal layouts, so it's a refreshing change.
