Yes, most all of my pages these days are of our little boy. As a new mom, I suppose there’s not much else that I want to scrap at the moment… at least, not until I get the bulk of his photos completed! Of course, I feel like every picture should be scrapped, even if [...]
It took me a while to actually sit down and write the journaling for these photos. Of course I wanted to scrapbook the joyous day that my little boy was born, but it was a difficult labor and I wasn’t quite sure how to put it, so to speak. How do I want to remember [...]
I had to preserve the little announcement postcard for our son’s birth, even though I didn’t end up sending them out. I wonder if nearly 3 months afterwards it’s way too late? I had these grand ideas to include it with thank you gift favors… but haven’t gotten around to that to do yet (if [...]
Inspired by a challenge from the Big Picture Classes Creative Crop over iNSD weekend, I created this summer bucket list layout. The idea is to create a list of things you want to do this summer so you can put it up as a reminder. Then at the end of the season you can create [...]
This past weekend of iNSD really helped me to get back to scrapbooking and I’m starting the week with a HUGE memory keeping smile! It’s easy to say that I have no time these days especially, because it’s a big job to take care of a newborn. I’m constantly feeling a bit overwhelmed by the responsibility. [...]
My DSLR is not always so handy around the house, so everyday life is often captured through fuzzy phone photos. I decided to compile a bunch of them together which downplays the lower resolution of the photos, creating a nice collage. A traditional scrapbook page layout for me as I used patterned paper, chipboard alphabet stickers and the [...]
Sometimes I want to scrap a photo and don’t have much to really journal about. In this case, I didn’t want to gush and gush about our beautiful little boy… it was enough with the word art I created… clean and simple. It might seem like such a plain layout to so many scrappers out [...]
I’ve mentioned Wilna’s Art Class workshop at 2ps before and I’m thoroughly having fun with each lesson – trying out her techniques and ideas. The first experiment was using stencils and at first I was wondering if I could apply the ideas at all… because I don’t really have stencils and don’t use them much. [...]
During this anxious “waiting for the little one to arrive” time period, we’ve also been doing a lot of shopping. Little outfits that are so cute and adorable, you just can’t help yourself. We’ve also been receiving a lot of gifts for the baby, so I’m sheepishly spending a lot of time organizing items and [...]
Wish I had some photographer friends here, but nevertheless I tried to take some more “artistic” photos of myself in this last month of pregnancy. Lots of ideas and inspiration, but a lot harder to pull off! I like this snapshot though, so had to scrap it… as I’m in the waiting stage now. Last [...]
