Today’s layout is also from the online sketch class I’m taking. This page is for one of my Mom’s scrapbooks. I know she will like it because it highlights her beloved Grandfather and her adorable great-grandson Conor. I used scraps of paper from my black paper folder for this, and silver ABC’s, and added some silver embossed punched stars. I also used CM’s custom cutting system – the largest circle – and cut it in half for the top semi-circle. Thank you for looking today.

Today’s layout is from another sketch from the online sketch class I am taking. I used CM’s Cheerful Christmas paper and stickers. I did some tearing and really like the look. I also used CM’s Rotary Trimmer with the pinking edge for the strips. Thank you for checking in today!

Welcome to 2013! I hope to post more often to my blog this year. We shall see…. For today’s post, the border on the left was made using CM’s beautiful Divine paper. I cut 2 straight strips of different widths, and then used the circle punch to punch 9 circles and taped them behind the strips. The border on the right was made using CM’s beautiful Reflections paper. This is my favorite palette right now. Once again, I cut 2 straight strips of different widths. The I cut a strip using the tearing tool. Those pretty flowers and gems are also part of the Reflections palette. Thank you for looking!
64 years ago today, my Mom & Dad were married. My Dad passed away in 2000, so I’ll be visiting the cemetary today with my Mom. In honor of this day, here’s a layout I did a few years ago …
I became a Mom 29 years ago today, at 9:00 PM precisely, to my son Christopher. It was all I ever wanted – to be a Mom. It’s so hard to believe that it was 29 years ago; although in some ways, it does seem like forever ago. June 6 will always be a happy, happy day to me – the best day of my life.
This was a super easy layout — royal blue, and red cardstock. I punched out a few stars on the royal blue CS; and used the tearing tool for the red. I used a journaling box, mini ABC’s, and mini-golf memorabilia to go along with our July 4 pictures.
I did things a little different in this layout. I layered bazzill cardstock, red and green, any-which-way, and although not a favorite of mine, I was happy enough with the result. I also used the tearing tool and drew some squiggles with my silver pen. I used vellum to describe the scenes. This is one of those layouts where the pictures definitely outshine the layout, and that is perfectly AOK with me.
When I went to the cemetary with my Mom and saw the roses that she had laid there that morning, I knew I had to scrapbook and tell this story. It’s hard to scrapbook tough subjects, but I also believe it’s therapeutic. Another one of my favorite layouts.
This is a layout that I did while taking an on-line scrapbook class. I don’t usually do layering of paper – it adds weight to my book. But I was really happy with how this came out.
