wanted to share the card i made with the scraps from the last layout. used lots of the same ideas and products.
same papers, same fun flowers, same journaling spot … and added in some fun brads, a little ribbon, and a rubon. easy-peasy!
supplies:
pattern paper – ki memories
flowers – making memories
brads – making memories (velvet flower, blue heart), bazzill (polka-dot)
ribbon – american crafts
rubon – making memories
journaling spot – heidi swapp
gotta love the dimension on there. i can’t do flat layouts. nothing against them … there are some amazing designs without much bulk. but i need my bulk … i need the extra dimension. a layout or card does not feel complete until it weights 4 pounds … or until it requires a very tight fit in my page protector. lol!
a few other scrapping tidbits:
- i appreciate all the nice emails i’ve gotten about my layout in the making memories advertisement in the august CK. it was so fun to see it in there! and i think alyssa thinks it’s pretty cool … even if she doesn’t admit it. i even had a friend of my mom’s that called her … she had been looking through one of her magazines and suddenly saw this girl that she knew looking up at her. lol!
- speaking of kids in the magazines … haley is having her little moment of fame. lol! i had a few things in the july issue of scrapbook trends … and one of them was a layout about her. and i have one coming next month … a layout about when she first learned to walk.
- how is this for a genious idea … a GB for the scraproom? a “garbage bowl”. the link is actually for the rachael ray one … but it’s a great idea that she has going. and one day i decided to do it for my studio. i have a good garbage can in there. but my island is also counter height … and i stand to scrap. so i am constantly leaning down to throw things away. and i’m a very neat scrapper … so every single piece of garbage gets thrown away immediately. lol! so i got out a nice plastic black bowl that i had … and it’s now my “GB” for when i’m scrapping. it’s not huge … but it’s big enough to hold all the little pieces. and then i just dump that in my garbage when it gets full. saves me a lot of bending down all the time.
- did you catch the travel album challenge that wendy did last month on the MM blog? i’m a little late in joining in … but i’m totally using her album idea! i thought it would be a great album for alyssa’s photos from her hawaii trip last summer with her dad and her grandparents. so i have all my pages started and just have to start adding the fun stuff. then comes the photos .. that may take me a bit to go through all the photos they took and pick out some to use. but love the idea of getting in scrapped!
think that’s it for now. i have 6 kids here that are telling me they’re hungry. lol! usually, fridays are my easy days. but today i have 3 extra kids that have joined us for the day … my neighbors (ziek and ayana), and ariana. so it’s a bit hectic around here … and noisy. lol! i’m thinking with that many kids … chicken nuggets and tator tots are my best bet!
