Scrapbooking, Tulip Tradition

SaskiaPillow1
 
I know I've been a bit MIA lately.  We found a house!  We close on April  23 and I can't wait.  In the mean time we had to move into a townhouse.  During the move the box with all the internet stuff and cable stuff and dvd player and wires and things got lost.  I think it is in the very back of the tandem garage of the townhouse.  It's packed full and there is no way to get to the back.  Since we are only in this place for a few weeks we are not going to unpack anything so no internet it is!   
 
 Anyways, I wanted to share this page I made for the Memory Nest's kit Pillow Patterns when I should have been packing instead.  I wanted to get it up a few days ago, but the move and lack of internet made it a bit difficult.  Back to the kit, I just love the warm hues of all the pages. It is even inspiring me on how I want to paint my daughter's room...hehehe.  The warm hues make me think of spring and I had to scrap photos of one of my favorite places, the tulip fields!  In the next week or two we will go back to see them so I'll get some great shots of my little guy and the flowers.  I can't wait!

I made the background of the page by tracing the photo viewer frame that was in the kit.  I then colored it in with gelatos.  I wanted to do water colors, but they had already been packed up in one of the 14 boxes of "Saskia's Scrapbooking Stuff."  I also used some white paint to make the random hexagons.  The title was made by sewing the letters with the twine that came in the kit as well as the scrabble letter stickers.  The one photo frame came in the kit while the other one I had cut with some good old scissors using the orange polk-a-dot paper.

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, Adore

    Every once in a while, I make a layout that I absolutely love and this is one of them.  I think it might be the rainbowness of it all that I love.  This is really a random photo of my daughter that I took while we were waiting for the bus.  I played with the photo on my phone and made it more rainbowy.  I really like how it came out, so I printed it out for my project life, but then I decided it needed its own page.  It really is a random page for a random photo.     This is my page for the Memory Nest . The circles on the sketch were my major inspiration.  I felt that they would make a fun background.  At first, I changed the circles to triangles and then I noticed all these old frames on my desk.  I'm a chipboard frame hoarder. lol.  I thought most of the frames were really ugly or they had patterns that I would never use.  At first, I was going to just paint the frames white, but then I decided to make them gray.  I'm glad I made them gray because now they

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
