Wedding Album: My Grandma

My Husband I will be celebrating 10 years of "Wedded Bliss" very soon! It has lit a renewed fire in me to work on our Wedding Scrapbook Album. I turn to my "Sonoma" Paper Packs because my Wedding Colors were Purple and Purple and some Green. :)

So I dug in my heels and just got started. It didn't matter where, just simply to begin somewhere. I sought out inspiration and found this sketch challenge at "Let's Scrap". (3-13-13) It was the perfect jumping off point. I created a 2 page layout to celebrate that my Grandma was able to be at my Wedding as a guest of honor! I cherish these photos!

My Sonoma Stickease Compliments with purple flowers worked great to recreate the cluster of embellishments on the Right Hand side of the Right Hand Page.

 

Where a ribbon bow was suggested I created a paper version using my Cricut Artiste Cartridge. Then I added glitter gel to the edges.

 

Hope you enjoyed stopping in to see my Wedding Album get started! What advice would you share to someone getting started on a Wedding Album? What pages should not be over looked? I'd love to hear what you have learned working on your own.

Later Sk8R Layout #3

I have had so much fun working with the Later Sk8R workshop on the go kit from Close To My Heart!  Here is my third layout! This layout was dreamt up by two of my friends and myself. We were inspired by the Magic How To Book pattern called "On With The Show" (page 62).

We used the Artiste Cricut Cartridge to cut a large gear shape to use as our circular accent. (Mine was set to 11" and I cut it into quarters).

I am in LOVE with the "Tiny Type Epoxy Alphabet" adhesive letters (only $5.95!). It is so easy to add a subtitle that gives a page added detail and a finished polished look!

I also like the way that the stars and gears from the accessory packet pop. They are a good thickness to add dimension, shadow, and depth- but not so thick that they will warp your pages and make your book bulge. I prefer low profile accents myself and these pass my test.

I can't wait to get a few photos from my Son's classroom teacher and add them to this layout! I will have to check back when I do that and provide an updated photo for you!

Hope you had fun checking in to see what I have been working on! Go forth and "Play Hard!"

Later Sk8R Scrap Layout #1

"Later Sk8R" Layout #1- Altered from "Mystify" pattern in Magic Book

I could not wait to get this new paper pack from Close To My Heart out on my craft space! "Later Sk8R" features plaid pattern and Lagoon teal color! I knew right away it would be perfect to scrapbook my son's first day of Preschool! For my first layout that I created with the Workshop On The Go Kit, I used the sketch called "Mystify" from the Magic Book. (I made some measurement changes to fit my photos in).

My son was so distracted by his excitement for preschool that he forgot to ham it up and actual stood still for this photo!

I used the diamond plate texture stamp from the kit to create a grey on grey backdrop for where my title is placed.

I used my NEW Artiste Cricut Cartridge to create my title letters in Outdoor Denim Cardstock. I added the spoxy letters for sub-titles under the headline.

This "Hello" stamp is from one of the 3 stamp sets that came with my Artiste Cartridge. I felt it was a good fit for a first day of school and meeting new people.

List of Supplies:

• Later Sk8R Workshop On The Go Kit
• Cricut Artiste Cartridge for text and hello stamp base
• Grey Ink
• Tiny Epoxy Alphabet

Hope you have had fun seeing what I made with my Later Sk8R kit. Stay tuned for more. This is one of 4 layouts we will create at the March 9th Scrap Class! Contact me for more information if you can join us!

Preview! For Always Valentine Scrapbook Pages

Valentine Layout: "For Always" Paper Pack

This is a sneak peek at one of the new paper packs featured in the NEW Close To My Heart Idea Book, which will be revealed in February! I could not resist sharing this Valentine layout that I created for my daughter.

"For Always" love quote zip strip

Black and White patterned paper is perfect for Valentine's Day when it is paired with Ruby Red! I love this color combo so much that I am entering this layout in the following Challenges!

"Dynamic Duos"- DD#36 Red and Black and Valentine
"Color My Heart"- Color Dare #26 Black and White with a Pop of Color

Paper Bow cut with "Artiste" Cartridge- Cricut

I could not wait to cut out this paper bow with my new "Artiste" Cricut Cartridge from Close To My Heart!

Spiral Note Pad Page cut with "Artiste" Cartridge- Cricut

I also used the "Artiste" Cartridge to create this journaling area that looks like a note pad page ripped from a spiral book.

I LOVE the "Whooo's Your Valentine" stamp set that comes with the Valentine Kit! I have been using it even MORE then I thought I would! (And I haven't even gotten to the owls that I have plans for yet!) This stamp set might be one I won't be able to let go of!

We will make this scrapbook layout at our February Scrap Class, Feb. 23rd. RSVP with a supply order by Feb 5th.

Happy Crafting!
