Ivy Lane, Pure Joy, Layout #1

"Ivy Lane" was on my radar when I first set eyes on it... Can you guess why? One word... PURPLE! (It's a kind of "You Had Me From Hello" moment when I see purple!) I knew right away I would use this paper set to help get layouts made for my Wedding Album. Approaching ten years, time to get the album finished!

I found this sketch pattern on the Let's Scrap website! Super cute. I made the circle and title shapes with my Artiste Cartridge.

The pennants under the photos are stamps from the kit.

The "Pure Joy" stamp that came in the kit made a perfect title for my page! I sponged the title with Gypsy Ink, then added sparkle gems to the holes of the doily shape.

What colors did you work with in your Wedding Albums? Anyone else out there like me and still finishing it up 10 years later? (Please say yes!)

Laughing Lola Scrapbook Layouts!

"Laughing Lola" from Close To My Heart was such a fun Workshop On The Go kit to create with! I taught a class in August with it and wanted to share my designs on my blog so that they can be found by those who are browsing for ideas.

Lola Layout #1: From pamphlet with some changes to measurements

Lola Layout #2: Using Artbooking Cricut to cut frame and titles.

 

Lola Layout #3: Full of Fun!

Lola Layout #4: Sequins add from the Black Metallic Medley

What have you been making with your Laughing Lola Papers!?

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.

Moonlight Scrapbook Layout #2

My second Moonlight Scrapbook Layout that I created with my kit from Close to my Heart is based on the design that comes in the brochure with the kit. I just simplified a few things to make it easier to teach at our workshop.

This layout was ideal for photos from my daughter's 5th Birthday Party! We had a Halloween Party! I was so excited that the Moonlight Kit has PURPLE in it! I could not wait to get to this layout to use the purple. (Have you figured out yet what my favorite color is?)

To create the lamp post we stamped it in Archival black on our purple. Then while it still had black ink on it I stamped it on the sponged patterned paper over an area that was orange and cut out just the windows to the lantern. I lined that piece up with where the lamp would look "lit". Then I cleaned the stamps and stamped it again in goldrush ink again on the sponged pattern paper. Then I trimmed it out and placed it on the sign area of the main lamp post. Add some black gems and wha-la! :)

The coordinating chipboard compliments made this accent quick and easy!

Those who know me personally know I hold a special place in my heart for a real FEAR of spiders! But this guy is so cute I actually love him! :) The sparkly eyes make his irresistible on this layout!

Hope you like this layout and are having fun preparing for Halloween!
