Love Layout Take 2

Ok, so here is my second take on a similar layout with a similar picture. Hopefully by scrapbooking this way my 3 kids will soon have their own memory albums of them with their amazing Gram. Who knows - maybe after I am done their books I will decide to do a similar book for myself.  Well, maybe I’m getting a bit ahead of myself. I’m sure I have at least 5 or more unfinished albums to finish up before I start another one. 

Making 2 pages at the same time using similar plans but with different colors and placement was actually lots of fun. I quite like the dark color  on this page. Pinkfresh cut files for the win once again. And the heart paper is from their Let’s Stay Home Collection. 

I am quite happy with how this turned out.

Love Layout Take 1

Ok so I am behind in my scrapbooks - insert shocked gasp here. Yes, as a working mom of 3 amazing kids I have somehow fallen behind on my scrapbook layouts. And so here I am with more time on my hands, what with Covid keeping us at home more, and I am working on books for my kids. Years back I decided to create a memory scrapbook for each of my kids with all the special photos of them and their amazing and special Great Grandmother (Gram). Sadly she passed away this fall at the young age of 105! And so my album for each child has now become 2 8x8 albums for each kid. With 3 children I often scrap a similar photo for each child’s album. So here is my new plan in the hopes to scrapbook more efficiently. I am going to follow and take part in challenges to keep my creative juices flowing. I am also going to design all 3 pages using similar ideas but with just different colors or placement. I hope this helps me to finish some albums up in the near future. We will see how it all goes. So here is the first of my new plan. 

This layout uses the adorable heart paper from Pinkfresh Let’s Stay Home Collection. The chain of hearts and the word Love are cut files from Pinkfresh. 

Those cut files are so much fun on the page.

Love Family Layout

I am so excited with all the scrapbook layouts that I have been able to get done lately. I am making it a personal challenge to play along with Pinkfresh for all of their different challenges as a way to get new ideas for how to create my pages. Such fun! 

This layout had me using their beautiful liquid water colors as well as their lovely cut file. 

I also added some ephemera from the let’s stay home collection. I’m quite happy with the outcome. I have to say - backing the cut file was time consuming but very relaxing and enjoyable. I am thrilled with the outcome.

Smile Slimline card Take 2

Here is the second slimline card I made similar to the first but with a different Color scheme and slightly different placement.

 I love seeing the slight differences in these two lovely cards. Isn’t it great seeing what different colors do your project? Fun. 

Here the 2 cards are side by side. 

If you have ever joined in the live card makes from Pinkfresh Studio they often do things like this - using different colors but overall main idea stays the same. I enjoy that part of the lives so much.

Smile slimline card Take 1

Are you ever in the middle of your creation when you suddenly find 2 different color schemes or 2 different placements and you suddenly can’t decide which one you would like best? That has been happening to me a lot lately. So I decided to embrace it and use it to my creative benefit. So here is the first of 2 posts to show just that. 

Using Pinkfresh Studios as my inspiration I created this smile slimline card. 

But sure enough as I was testing out colors and placement of the florals I struggled to choose. So I chose to make a second card similar but with some differences. I can’t choose one over the other. I like them both.

Pink Fresh Cousins layout

I started with a cut file in mind and it all grew from that. The lovely tri-cut file worked perfectly with these photos of the 3 cousins all born within 3 weeks of each other. I will have to update the photos of these 3 now teenagers. I enjoyed doing paper piecing to back all the leaves of this amazing cut file. I found the mustard yellow and brown paper from my stash and it all just took shape. I used the sketch from the PinkFresh Studio Fan page from the month of October to spark some creative juices flowing.

I am very happy with the layout and I will definitely be using thing this cut file again in future layouts. The best thing about digital cut files is how I can manipulate the sizing to fit my page and photos.
