Easter Again

The great thing about scrapbooking is that you can revisit moments again and again.   I am celebrating Easter all week long by doing Easter layouts.    Below I tried something new and used large circles in my layout.   I cut them out at 5" and 8" on my Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge.    When I was done with the layout I felt something was missing.   I couldn't think of what to add so I went back to it the next day.   It then came to me - add buttons.   So.............as you can see I added many buttons that coordinated with the Lucy paper pack.   I feel it helped create  movement within my layout.    Since the left side of the page had a lot going on, I decided the right side should be simply stated.    The coordinating buttons and Lucy paper pack are all available on my website:   www.superscrapper.ctmh.com

Happy Easter
Following is a layout from our Close To My Heart's old level one paper packet.  It literally only took me about 40 minutes to do a 2-page layout.   It was from Easter 2009.    I am not a sequential scrapbooker by any means.  I look at a paper pack and then decide what pictures fit it.  I thought the bright colors screamed Easter.

Remember, if you are in any of my scrapbook clubs make a comment below the pictures and you will get a bingo square marked off. 

Look for more posts to come!  Remember click on the picture to see a larger image of the layout.

Clips

I had fun making these clothespin clips for the Grafton Scrap Event held in March.   They were super easy to make and it used up all those small scraps that I save.   I mod-podged them on and then mod-podged over them to seal them.   The key is you must mod-podge it on and then over it, otherwise, your paper will buckle on you.  Afterwards, I used various embellishments and I was done!   These make great clips for snack bags, clips for bills to pay, and you can also put a magnet on the back and use it on your refrigerator.    

I am busy crafting this week so I will try and set a personal goal of having one new post a day.

Enjoy!

Footloose Club

No, I'm not starting a Footloose club, but rather for scrapbook club I'm showing you the new Footloose paper pack.   Another winner of a paper pack!    This paperpack screams summer.   Don't we wish we had summer right now.    Well, since I have about 8 summers to scrapbook I can live in the memories of summer by using the Footloose paper pack.    For club, I will be demonstrating our new Baker's Twine which can be used for so many things.   I used them to embellish buttons as you will see further down.  

For club we will be using:
3 - 4 x 4 pictures
1 - 4 x 6 vertical
2 - 4 x 6 horizontal

A close up of the left side page.  You will notice that I have a 1/2" border by my vertical picture.   That comes in the paper pack right on your 12 x 12 paper.  You just trim it off and use it however you'd like.    Three different styles per paper pack.  Love it!

A close up of the left side.  Again I am using the 1/2" border.

Lastly, a close up of the baker's twine that I used to embellish my buttons.    In addition, I used the Decor Journaling Spots.   If you know me well, I emphasize the importance of journaling your events.  

Stella New Paper Pack

As soon as I saw this new paper pack I new I wanted to scrapbook our Vacation Bible School pictures which focused on the "jungle."     Below is a picture of the two-paged layout.   As always, I had lots of pictures that I wanted to include on one layout.

 On the right side of the layout I added a hidden journaling tag by the giraffe.  I glued all three sides except the top in which I could insert my tag.    This then left more space for my pictures.

 You will see that I used our color-ready chipboard letters.  I love these because I can color them to match my layout just by using a sponge our our inks.   Then, I wrapped our letters with our baker's twine which I absolutely LOVE!   

New Paper Cruisin'

As soon as I saw this paper pack I knew what I wanted to scrapbook.   Last year, I took Dave to the Harley Davidson Museum.   We took some pictures of us on different motorcycles.  The colors and the background and texture paper worked perfectly.   I also am in love with the stickease.  They are foil images that you will see on my layout.  

I of course have more paper left so I'm going to do a layout of my daughter Paige at a birthday bowling party she just attended.   This paper would be perfect for any trips you have also gone on.   Enjoy!

Below is my full page layout of both sides.   Remember you can click on picture to enlarge.  

Now just the left side of the page - notice the foil images and the journal pocket from CTMH

A close up of the right side of the layout  (some day I'll find out how to take better pictures of my layouts)
