From Mom

Still going over layouts from NSD and Yes, I have done at least ONE project post NSD, LOL! I made this no photo layout that talks about things I learned from my Mom, but not just things she told me but things I learned from observation. I used a pretty little stencil from The Crafter's Workshop and no photo... did all my journalling on a piece of purple vellum I've had in my stash for more years than I've actually been a scrapbooker. The background paper is from October Afternoon and there is also a lovely piece of Cosmo Cricket paper from the Creative Surfaces pad.

The stickers are from October Afternoon and Chickaniddy Crafts. The heart paper is from Crate Paper.

Once Upon a Time Layout with Process Video

It's been a while since I did a process video, and while I love watching and even making them, I feel like my setup is less than ideal... and I always feel like I fight with my camera. So I made a process video and when I was trying to upload from my sd card, some of the files were corrupted so I lost the last part of the video. I have stills of the finished layouts to share first:

The journalling is really the important part of this layout. and I was worried in the beginning of how much space I needed to leave, but I really wanted all these photos together. They were my favs from when I got married, and in 1996 polaroids were our instagram! LOL. Here is a link to the process video, any feedback at all is appreciated. HAPPY SCRAPBOOK DAY! I am actually going to an event this afternoon so I'm not sure how much crafty time I'll be getting in, but I plan on doing SOME scrappy stuff today. Can't wait to see all the layouts going up on Instagram. Hugs!!

 

Love this photo

I've scrapped my little cockatiel Gem before, she is getting close to a year old now and until recently, was doing a bit of flying because she was so pretty I just didn't want to clip her wings. alas she flew into a light fixture and nearly gave me a heart attack (the light was on at the time). So now she can't get any lift. But before that, she had been taking advantage of her ability and flapping over and landing on my head. The ONE place I don't like for her to land. ;)

I finally stood still long enough for a pic and just had to scrap it.

Also this past Saturday after work I got to take my friend Lila out for Ice Cream. 

Most of the materials for these two layouts are from Amy Tangerine's Plus one and the April debut kit from Clique Kits. The yellow pen I used for journalling is a Sakura Souffle pen. I just love these pens and have had them for many years and am just now getting them out and using them. The background paper with the diamond pattern is from Cosmo Cricket's Creative Surfaces pad, the pink matches Plus 1 perfectly!

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I CAN'T wait for Thursday's Project share, I've been dying to share it with you for months!
