Layout I love

Another great article up over at Get It Scrapped with some amazing layouts. This time we are scrapping places around town.  The everyday, the places we pass and are a part of often.  My layout is about park going and features Lori

Here is a close up of the collage image

This layout is VERY similar to one I did about Sara a couple years ago and I love how this one turned out as well.

Not much else to report as of this moment I will have another tutorial out on Friday and I’ll post it then.  Hope  I will get to see a few of you in Kansas City in 2 weeks!

Can you hear me now?

Would you like to hear my lovely voice?  LOL I just did an interview with Debbie Hodge for Get It Scrapped’s This Memory Keeper’s Life.  You can here my interview HERE.  While you are there check out some of the other scrappers.  I have to say it has been really fun turning the interviews on while I scrapbook and color.  It is like having crafty friends with me in the room that are visiting near me.  Check it out!

Here is a layout I completed with my scrapping friends live and in person here in Iowa.  It is based on a sketch from “One Month at a Time”  by Tami Taylor.  Here is the left hand side.

And here is the right…

The color is a bit off but you get the idea, think lime green when you see the mint 🙂  The flowers were made with ribbon and glue dots (for the larger one a Gluber, a ginormous glue dot but I just like saying the word)

Happy crafty day!

Are you a Pinner?

Over at Get It Scrapped Debbie has started pinning like crazy and all about inspiration for scrapbooking.  What I love is the inspiration is from EVERYWHERE, fasion, cooking, home decor, advertising…you name it she finds inspiration in it!  Yesterday she posted an article about one of the current fashion trends hitting the runway this season, mixed patterns.  Check out the article and all the different interpretations of Patterned Paper Mash Up HERE.  Here is the layout I completed after checking out the Pinterest board Debbie has collected.

Week Catch Up

I wanted to hop on a give you all a catch up as to what has been going on and going up over the past week.  To some extent I have been away from my computer so I have a few bits of info/art to share.

Here are some of the amazing articles that went up last week at Get It Scrapped!

Ideas and Angles for Scrapbooking Your Outdoor Travel and Outings, this layout is from our recent visit to Salida Colorado.

Double Up, this is an ongoing series at Get It Scrapped featuring ways to take a single page sketch and stretch it to two pages.  I am loving how these photos from the Oregon coast turned out in this two page layout.

And here is my page from the article that went up today!  Ideas  For Oversized Embellishments on Your Scrapbook Pages.

To top is off I also had a new page added over at Easy Scrapbook Pages.  I love how this mish mosh of papers worked so nicely for a mosaic base for Sara’s diving photos.

WOOSH!  That is a lot of stuff going up and happening.  I can see touching base once a week is not going to work regularly right now 🙂  I know there will be more popping up this week so I will keep on top of it, or at least try.

Hope you all had a marvelous Labor Day Weekend and had some great family time and/or play time with friends.  I was lucky enough to have both!  Thanks to my Scrappy freinds who all got together Friday night and my Mom and Dad who were with me for the entire week.  Love you all!

Hugs!
