Scrapbooking, Daffodil Hop

DaffodilHop
 
Happy Monday!  I'm a little late in getting this up, but I had to finish making something for someone and get it in the mail today!  I procrastinated a little too much.  I'll post about it in a week or so!  Anyways, It's my favorite time of year.  Tulip time!  Ok, this layout is about daffodils, but I see daffodils every time I go see the tulip fields.  While this layout is about the flowers from a few years back I did see the tulips again this year on Saturday.  I took lots of photos and I'm just realizing now that I got a few very similar photos this year of my daughter and husband!  Oh I can't wait to scrap them!

I made this layout for the Memory Nest's Sketch for make it Monday.  I was very true to the sketch which doesn't happen all that often.  I had a few ideas for "big title," but they didn't work with the photos and space this time.  Be on the lookout from some big titles in the future though!
 
I made a bunch of cool paint and gel feathers in the background, but they mostly got covered by the photos, oh well.  It was an experiment that worked fairly well so I'll have to try it again.
 
I used my own enamel dots that I made on this layout.  My dots came out great, but I just had them fall off my layout a few hours ago.  I'll need some stronger adhesive.  Bummer!

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.
