Scrap Crazy

I had a fundraising event and took a month off scrapping to make greeting cards. Hundreds of greeting cards. My friends and I donated 700 greeting cards to FAST. A foundation dedicated to help cure Angleman Syndrome. We are so close curing this! Clinical trials begin 2016! If you are interested in learning more look for us on Facebook under the group Miles for Mason. You can donate at www.cureangelman.org

Today I needed to add more pages to my scrapbook. I figured the magic number was 28 pages per book. That's 28 two page layouts. I came up with this by  dividing the number of pages I had left by the number of scrapbooks I had left. Not looking forward to having to buy more scrapbooks. Not ready for that with the new company. I kind of stepped away from creative memories and their bankruptcy stuff. Just wasn't dependable. I purchas supplies through heritage makers. It's expensive though. I mostly buy tape runners. The paper is all cardstock, while that is nice it is way too much money. Plus it makes my albums way too thick. Most of my papers now come from close to my heart. I love the ideas they provide with every one of their kits. It also helps to have a great consultant!

So I added pages to finish the album I was working on and a whole new one. There was soooo much trash! It's done now though. I have tomorrow off and I am ready to scrap. See you tomorrow with a great layout!

I Just Love You

I love these two layouts. The colors are not normally what I use but they look good. I tend to be use more brightly colored papers so these are a nice change. 

This photo is on a flip flap. There is a hidden story underneath!

This is my end page. I had no good photos so I just tried to make a nice looking page. 

More pre made layouts!

This first one is simple. The same layout on both pages. It was not fun to glue each letter down though. 

I love the swirls on this page!

This one has that rare photo of me!

More great layouts.

These three layouts were all made at Diane's house. http://superstampingdivadi.blogspot.com/?m=1

I have many more coming. Love having worked for years and having all these ready to go! Yay! I am really feeling accomplished getting all these layouts done so fast! I already put hours of work into these. Now it's time to add photos. A little journaling and done!

Sometimes Everything Works Perfectly!

Once a month I scrapbook with a friend. She sells close to my heart products. I love going to her home to scrapbook because she does amazing work. Here is her website: http://superstampingdivadi.blogspot.com/?m=1

You can purchase a $10 paper kit and make multiple layouts. This is one of those layouts. We make the layouts without photos. Well I have a lot of finished layouts and have decided it is time to start using them. This layout is perfect. Looks like it was made just for the photos I had. 

The title says "in love with today"

Perfect layout for perfect photos.

Hope to see you tomorrow!!

Not Every Layout Needs to be a Masterpiece

Yes you can spend hours making every single layout but then you won't be making very many of them. I know most people are "behind" on their scrapbooking. I scrapbook chronologically and I am four years behind. I haven't done any scrapbooking from when I was young. I have scrapbooked since my boys were born and that is what is most important to me. That my boys have scrapbooks. Here are two layouts that are good but might not look amazing. Hope you like them. 

I love my cricut pieces on this layout. 

This layout I used scraps on. The pattern that was cutout on the cricut was left of the paper after the middle was cut out for another layout. I just had to trim it up a little and it was great! The second page was just left over pieces from another layout. I didn't even cut them I just arranged them with my photos.

See you tomorrow with a great layout!

Tetris / Lego layout

Months ago I scrapped a page using scraps. When I was making that it felt like I was playing Tetris. Then I didn't look at my photos for months. The next set of photos where from the same day at the same location but with my other child. So I decided to make the same layout again. As I was making this though. All I could think about was my boys Legos. The paper I used had little dots. As I cut the pieces it was like I had little Lego pieces. Hope this inspires you to make a layout with your scraps. Good luck!

Edit: apparently when I tried to publish this last week it didn't actually work. I went in today and it was just sitting there. Never hurts to double check! I will pay more attention next time.
