Mini Album #3- For Christine

Last of the mini albums today. If you missed my previous two posts you can see Marley’s mini here and Paige’s mini here.

I would say things like “last but not least” and “saved the best for last” but really I love each of the books I’ve created just as I love each of the daughters I created them for! It was a labour of love. From what I understand they were well received and that is all I can ask for.

Without further ado, enjoy this last mini. Continue reading

Mini Album #1 – For Marley

My husband and I recently visited my family in Britain. I had a cousin getting married at the end of August so we took advantage of 10 days together sans children.

Say what?! No kids? However did you manage that?

One word. Grandparents.

Okay, two words. Awesome grandparents!

But as much as my girls love spending time with them, I knew they would miss us. Marley especially. She’s been going through a particularly rough separation anxiety phase lately. At 10 we were not expecting it! To hopefully help alleviate things I made little mini albums for each girl.

Today I am sharing Marley’s with you.  Continue reading

Mr & Mrs

I am back!

My husband and I had a wonderful time visiting my family and my homeland but now we are back and it’s time to get into the swing of things again. Starting with my poor wee (forgive me, I was just in Scotland) blog!

The main reason for our visit was to attend the wedding of my cousin Jennifer. It seems only appropriate to start with the card I made for them. Continue reading

Technical Difficulties, Please Stand By

I’m away from home right now with just my phone and for the life of me can’t figure out how to properly edit the draft posts I created before I left.

Needless to say my frustration level is through the roof! So I do apologize but there’s going to be nothing new posted here until I get home.

This is what is referred to as a blogging fail!!

Sigh.

Pink and Orange?!

When it comes to colour combinations is pink and orange one that immediately pops into your head? Mine either but that’s what I found myself using when creating this layout with Amanda Robinson Studio’s latest cut file.

Diagonal Grid Design

Do you ever find yourself in a creative rut? How do you get yourself out of it? Troll for ideas on Pinterest? Go for a walk? Clean and organize your supplies? Start in a different way than you would normally?

As a creative type, ruts can be so draining! You feel uninspired and it’s hard to want to go into your craft space to make new content.

I have been feeling in a bit of a rut lately. That all my layouts look the same. There are roughly a million different ways to break out of these types of slumps and I’m sure I’ve tried most of them! Today I want to share a layout that utilizes the idea of breaking your funk by doing something differently than you would normally. In my case, a more simple, streamlined layout than my typical pattern and layer-heavy ones.  Continue reading
