Do you remember when you were little and you had no money to buy presents for your Mum or Dad so you’d make them a coupon book? It usually had things in it like “clean my room”, “put away the dishes”, or “wash the car”. Well, I’ve got a fun project for you to make for your kids this Valentine’s Day that hearkens back to those books.
I am so impressed with myself! I have managed to scrapbook one layout a day for every day in February so far!
Okay, I realize it’s only the 10th today but hey, considering my last few performances during LOAD I am kicking butt!
Oh yeah, and I have managed to film each layout coming together too. That’s what is really making me the happiest this time around.
So before I get too carried away with the self-congratulations, would you like to see what I’ve made since my last post?
I am the featured designer today for LOAD218. So much fun!!
If you’re participating in LOAD then you’ve already seen this but if not, I thought I’d share the layout I created to inspire everyone.
The prompt is about following your own path and being a trailblazer. I couldn’t think of any way that I’ve been a trailblazer so my thoughts took me down the “wandering path” line. We took our kids to Edinburgh during our epic 3-ish week European tour last summer because a) it is such a beautiful and fun city that if you’re in Scotland it’s a must see, and b) I lived there for almost 2 years after university so I must breathe the air every time I’m in the country or my heart hurts!! While we were there my cousin’s girlfriend (now fiance – yay Kenny!) took us to all the different places where J.K. Rowling got inspiration for her Harry Potter series. My eldest was in heaven! My husband not so much, but who cares, right? LOL! Continue reading
Today I’ve got my next batch of LOAD218 layouts for you to see. Each one has a corresponding process video too.
Enjoy!
Today’s adventure forced a deeper look at the story and I know I have told a different story than I would have because of how the prompt inspired me. It also meant pulling out my newest products. I don’t have anything from the newest collections that were just showcased at Creativation in Arizona last month, but my stash of Glitter Girl products is still new to me so I had fun pulling more of it out for this layout.
Since I’m showing all the close up photos in the video I’ll just leave you with the full layout. Continue reading
Curious to see what I’ve been up to so far for LOAD218? Well, look no further, I’ve got all three layouts for you today, plus their corresponding process videos.
Enjoy!
I forgot to add the close up photos to the end of this video – my apologies! Remedied that in future videos. Here they are for you to see. Continue reading
Happy Monday!
Today I bring you the second half of my 10 Cards from 1 Kit Challenge and another video. To see Part 1 please visit this post.
My first 5 cards took me awhile to finish. I had a couple extra challenges thrown in there which probably slowed my creative process a bit. Plus I was trying to explain things as I went along. Hard to talk and think at the same time!! For these last 5 cards I decided not to try to talk as I worked and just record a voice over commentary after the fact. I think this format works much better but I’ll let you all have the final word. Let me know in the comments if you like this sped up version better.
Okay, here is Part II – Cards 6 – 10 from the January 2018 monthly card kit from Simon Says Stamp. Continue reading
Good morning!
Quick post this morning as I am on basketball tournament duty. Go Pacers!
Yesterday was my niece’s 9th birthday and I shared the card I made for her on my Instagram page.
Is that unicorn not to die for? Continue reading
