If you haven’t noticed already, this month I’ve been participating with Layout-A-Day (LOAD). I’m sure the goal is self-explanatory: create a scrapbook every day. There are prompts provided, but we are free to scrap whatever we want. I had moments of desperation throughout the month, as the day went by and I still had a page [...]
Today for LOAD I actually created a double page layout. There were so many photos to choose from, but I had to edit it down. It’s about Vash and his grooming experience and modeling adventure… yes, we are one of those crazy for our pets kind of people. He’s our baby. I always find it [...]
I’m definitely happy to almost be done with the month of February simply because LOAD is taking up a whole lot of my time. Good and bad! Today, I decided to use lots of patterned papers, because all the American Crafts Fresh Squeezed products are so lovely and colorful. They make me happy just looking [...]
For today, I created a quickie collage of everyday life photos to add into my album. I realize that often I just want to add some captions to photos, if even that. It’s not a huge story… and that’s okay. Just cute snapshots of life… Related Posts:Last Day of LOADVash double page scrapbook layoutsnow day [...]
Yet again, I realize that weekends are usually not a good time for me to scrapbook. If it wasn’t for LOAD, I don’t think I would normally scrapbook on Saturday or Sunday. Just too much family stuff going on – in a good way! It’s making memories time, not saving memories time, right? So after [...]
I turned to my to-be-scrapped photo pile to create a layout today (as part of LOAD), instead of following the prompt. I’m currently in love with the color of those American Craft thickers, so can’t help but go for the turquoise yellow color scheme. From participating in layout a day this month and scrapping in a marathon [...]
Today’s LOAD prompt was about family vacations and I actually scrapped photos from a trip in yesterday’s layout. It’s not hard for me to find travel photos, because my husband and I take a lot of road trips around Italy. But just like yesterday, the story that came out of these type of photos are usually [...]
Today I tackled some photos I’ve been meaning to scrapbook. Sometimes I want to include so many photos… even if it might not be necessary. I realize there is no right or wrong, but when there’s too much, we lose focus. I had to choose the ones I wanted to show off the most and [...]
Today I actually followed along the LOAD prompt and scrapped about my hometown. I was born and raised in Los Angeles and even though I’ve traveled all around the world, living so many miles away now… my hometown still has a special place in my heart. My husband and I would love to live back [...]
Think before you spray, that is what I learned in doing today’s LOAD layout. I decided to add some texture to the bottom area by spraying a light brown mist, but forgot that my printed journaling would bleed… oops. Oh well, I dried it in time and I suppose it adds to the effect. I [...]
