Layout Share

Here's what I have been working on recently. Since quitting my kit club, I'm just working on using my supplies and enjoying making pages. I have been watching a lot of videos and have even considered taking a class to push myself a little. But for now I am just gonna keep doing what I am doing. Scrapping.

Really wanted to make a page about each kid to capture them right now. Here's Elsie's. She beamed when she read it. Scrapbook page for the win.

This page came together quickly with two photos and the ephemera. Glad to have this one in the book. 

This is another page for the college album. Just two random photos of our suite gift exchange. 

Another college page. The gnomes seemed to work for Scott - he's from Montana. Why not?

So that's it for now. I have a few more layouts ready to get started. Till next time. 

October Simple Scrapper Layouts

This is my last month as a guest designer on the Simple Scrapper team.  It has really been a fun adventure and I am still so honored to have been included.  Here is the last layout I created for the team. It was created by taking two sketches and placing them together to make a two page spread.  I loved being pushed to use a big photo and also to think about the story of the day as not just another back to school layout, but something deeper and more significant.  

Each month, Simple Scrapper posts prompts and sketches for its members.  If you need a jump start, swift kick in the scrappy pants or just continuing encouragement and ideas, then this membership is totally for you!  

A few random thoughts - the front door photo continues to be a must (first day and last day of school).  Snapped this quick photo of Elsie's classmates and moms walking in the rain - I wanted to remember it was raining when I did the journaling, but the photo ended up making it on the page.

I got some grief for pausing at the bottom of the stairs to take a photo as I was walking out from dropping Elsie off at her room, but it was totally worth it.  Love that it captured the essence of what this year means for her - its a huge step - she's growing up.
