National Scrapbooking Day - A Layout

Hello!

I SCRAPBOOKED!!   hahaha
FINALLY!
I couldn't let National Scrapbooking Day go by without a little scrappy effort from me.  So here is a layout I have been meaning to get to for well over a year now - fun family trip to Medieval Times!  I used a Becky Fleck Sketch posted on the Scrapbook and Cards Today Blog as one of their challenges for today, and let me just ask, WHY DON'T I ALWAYS USE A SKETCH?!?!  This took a lot of the 'thinking' effort out of my scraping, which I really enjoyed.  The layout came together so quickly!  Hope you enjoy!

Papers: Black Cardstock (Bazzil), Old School Collection (pinkpaislee), Oliver Collection, Basics Collection (Basic Grey)
Punch: EK Success
Letter Stickers: Cream & Red Mini Market (October Afternoon), Eric Foam Thickers (American Crafts)
Staples

Baby Album

Hello!

Today I have a bit of a long post picture wise.  I wanted to share the baby album I finished recently for a friend.  Her little girl turned one, and this was part of her birthday present!  I kept the pages really simple.  All pages had a plain white background, double layered photo mats, and a Cricut cut and/or title (with the exception of one page that had sticker letters and a coloured digi).  I have already shared some of these images for previous Paper Playtime challenges, however most are new!  Hope you enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome to our summer themed Digi Monday!  If you haven't stopped by Paper Playtime yet, be sure to jump over there, check out what the other designers have created, and be sure to link up your summer themed project for a chance to win a prize from one of our fantastic digi sponsors!! 
I am featuring a digi from Pink Cat Studio this week!  This lil gal is just too cute with her water tube!!  I chose my patterned papers before colouring her, and tried to match my colours to those in the paper.  I really loved this method, as I am usually scrounging to figure out which colours I will use.  Hope you enjoy!

Scraplift - Lauren's Creative

Hello!!

I have a two page layout to share today that is based on a layout done originally by Lauren at Lauren's Creative (I LOVE HER DESIGNS!!!!!!!!).  You can see her original post here...I still like her layout way more than mine...it is so vibrant and delicious looking...but I didn't have the papers she used, and found some lovely substitutes to incorporate into my layout.  I did make some changes, but the majority is based on her work (seriously...love her...haha).  Hope you enjoy!!

Have a great day!  Please leave a comment.  I love to hear from you!

National Scrapbooking Day - Part 2

Hello!

Here are all of the layouts I got done yesterday!  I think I am going to try and do some more of the Pink Stamper's challenges today, but I am quite proud of my accomplishments yesterday!

Scrapfest

Hello!

I spent this past weekend in Kitchener, Ontario participating is SCRAPFEST! It was two full days of scrapbooking fun! I was not NEARLY as productive as I thought I would be, but I had a great time. On Friday I arrived later than the start - I had to work until about 2 and then drive about an hour to get to Kitchener, but I met my tablemates, and they were a HOOT! Some very fun ladies who I hopeto see at the next Scrapfest event in October. We scrapped on Friday until 12pm - which required uncalled for amounts of Peanut M&M's to be eaten (they were delicious)! Saturday started at 9am, and I had two classes this day.

The first was a 'Not Your Ordinary Paper Bag Album' class with Kelly Panaci. It was a good class, but I had a hard time focussing due to the earlyness of the day, the lateness of the previous night, and the lack of extra caffeine to get me going in the morning.

The second class was 'Technique Tags and Portfolio' (I think) with Vicki Boutin. I learned SO MUCH in this class, and promptly left the class at the end and headed straight to the marketplace to purchase some of the supplies we had used in that class (Ranger Distress Inks mostly).

Speaking of the Marketplace. DANGEROUS. I spent uknown amounts of money in that place. I don't want to calculate the actual total. It is too frightening. I bought a lot of fun kits for some no-thinking required scrapbooking...I am hoping this will help me get some of my overdue stuff done! And I bought paper. Ooodles of paper. I loooooooove paper. It makes me SO HAPPY! I also bought a LOT of thickers alpha sets. My table mates were in hysterics by the end of Friday evening becasue it seemed that every time I went over to the marketplace (which was often) I came back with some new alpha sets. They were very pretty. And hard to resist. :)

Here are a few of the layouts I worked on this weekend. The last one is not finished yet. I have several other half-finished projects as well, but will post those (and this last one probably) when they are done.

Hope all is well with everyone!
