Fast and Easy

I love page kits, not a lot of people make them anymore but when I saw the one from Paige Evans Fancy Free collection I grabbed it and I knew I wanted to use it for a photo from my 25th Wedding Anniversary.

It was so fast and easy love it!  I did add a few other embellishments from the puffy sticker sheet and wood veneers but I just love this layout!

My Happy Heart

I was so lucky to get to spend some time with my favorite girls the other day, we took them for lunch downtown and walked around the waterfront. These girls make me happy!

You can see the process video for this layout on my YouTube channel here:

I documented the fun day with the Maggie Holmes Bloom collection.

I love the Snapchat photo lol.

It definitely makes my heart happy.

Summer Crush

I am sure we have all had a summer crush at some time in our life and this summer I am totally crushing on Andrea Bethke. For my second Summer Camp challenge I am challengein you to tell me about your summer crush, who is inspiring you right now.

I took Andrea's One Magical Mini class on Big Picture Classes and fell in love. Like me she loves Disneyland and mini albums. I was inspired to finally get started on my Disneyland Midori. You can see how I made these pages on my video here 

I made a cute shaker pocket for the cover of my first notebook.

I used the Minc foiling technique from the class to make this fun gold castle for the inside page.

Our first stop was a Breakfast with Minnie in the park where we met Minnie and a bunch of other characters.

The food was amazing and I loved the cute Mickey Waffles.

I hope you stop by in a few weeks to see part 2 of my Disney Midori.

Thanks for stopping by.

Friday Inspiration with Joy

This week is another Inspiration Friday with Joy. This month we are taking our inspiration from Ashley Horton a fellow scrapbooker and owner of The Cut Shoppe on Etsy.

I decided to use the free Summer cut file from Scrapbook Nerd for my layout. You can see how it came together on my channel here:

I am using the lovely Maggie Holmes Bloom collection for this layout and I love it.

Layout Tag

I participated in a game of layout tag over at Scrapbook Nerd, I love playing these they are so fun! Here's the video of the process:

I did one of my favorite things for this layout - fussy cutting. I cut all the pretty flowers from an Amy Tangerine patterned paper and layered them in a circle.

Then I added some of the fun rubber embellies in this collection - I really love these.

The photos are from the day we took my youngest son's grad photos so we stopped at some scenic places and took a bunch of photos. I really love how they turned out.

If you want to check out all the layouts and how they changed over the course of the game head on over to ScrapbookkNerd.com.

Scrapbook Nerd Summer Camp

Hi all, I was missing all the amazing ladies at Scrapbook Nerd so I asked if I could be a guest designer for their 4th annual Summer Camp. For my first challenge "Campfire Songs" I am challenging you to use lyrics on tour layout.

I used this photo of my son's grade 7 class and the song I chose for their year end video from Owl City called Verge. The lyrics are perfect for grad and my favorite line was "out on the verge of the rest of our lives".

I am using the Amy Tangerine Better Together collection from Scrapbook Nerd which is a really fun collection and has some fun journaling tags.

I used them as layers and also made a pocket to add some journaling cards.

I added some cards in the pocket and used the Our Playlist to write the songs that Linden is listening to right now and also used the Good Friends tag to write down his friends and teacher and other details.

Head on over to ScrapbookNerd.com to play along with some awesome challenges, games and prizes.
