Last week on the first day of December scrapbooker's around the world started the DD race to the 12/25. I think i'll give myself a couple of more days to decide on whether it is something that I reaaaallllyyy want to do. Catching up on a week is doable right?
In the meantime, creating pages has been something that I have been able to do quite a bit of lately and I have some layouts to share as proof:) 10 of them to be exact. Tomorrow I will share my numbers for the month of November.
The layouts. There are a lot of them (at least to me:)) I have been using a lot of sketches and to be completely honest, they are getting boring to me. I'm thinking that me & sketches are going to break up for a while lol....
I don't love this layout but I had a creative idea for the flourish paper. See the corners? I decided to cut my mat to allow the flourish to cut through the paper. This photo of my 2 oldest kids is a long time favorite and graced my desk when I used to work....
Sketch time
Sketch time! This one is from Studio Calico May 20, 2013. Yep i'm a hoarder....
I fell in love with that heart acetate paper. I don't love this page and will probably rescrap the photo....
Paige's Pages Lesson 1 @ Big Picture Classes was a very fun class! I don't think that I will do the cluster stuff a whole lot but it was fun for this page....
Love the photo and the page on this one. I cut the triangles away from the bottom of the page and added scraps of colored cardstock to the negative space. I also made a border at the top of the page using those same scraps......
There were not enough letters in the thickers that I wanted to use to say the phrase that I wanted to say so I improvised. There is a song by Train that's called "Marry Me" and it is so beautiful that I wanted to use a few words from the lyrics on this page about my husband. I used a stamp to stamp the ovals in several coordinating colors, cut them apart and added them as a border towards the bottom of the page...
Sketch Time!
For Christmas last year, my daughter gifted me tickets to the Adele concert. We had an amazing time!
Paige's Pages Lesson 2. This is one of my all time favorite pages. Ever. It may have taken a ton of time to fussy cut those butterflies (it really did!) but man was it worth it!!
I cropped me out of a selfie she took of the both of us because I love this photo of her. And wood buttons with glitter brads in the center. Yes Please....
My husband and his brother have a wonderful relationship and I love it when I can get my hands on a photo of them together. And that gold phrase acetate paper. Yum....
Another page that makes me very happy:) My little guy having a "wildlife interaction" at the zoo. I am not sure how wild those birds were but he was really enjoying feeding them a snack....
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Monday!
