Scrap. Scrap. Scrap.
So my goal this weekend was to scrapbook and that’s exactly what I did. It feels great to have that caught up feeling. Although I’m nowhere near being caught up, I do feel like I made a dent. I had a lot of fun experimenting with different styles and products. I made some simple layouts and some busier ones. I’m not sure which ones I like the best, I guess it just depends on my mood.
On thing I can’t get enough of for sure though, is American Craft Thickers. Is a layout complete without them? Well, I didn’t use Thickers in all of these layouts, they are one of my favorite all time products and I just love using them! Here’s what I made with them:
Home Sweet Home.
It’s good to be home and almost back to a normal sleeping schedule post jet lag. I had a great time in Hong Kong, getting to experience the daily hustle and bustle that goes on over there. The weather was humid, but tolerable and besides a little bit of exhaust inhalation from being outside most of the time, the conditions were comfortable. I loved the shopping and all of the tasty, fruity snacks. I’ll be posting some of my pics in a few days once I’m finished sorting through them. There were so many fun and colorful things I took photos of and I can’t wait to share them!
On a scrappy note, I was able to complete some layouts (including one from my Paris trip!) before I left for Hong Kong. I got to play with the Pink Paislee kit I won too! Here they are:
That’s all for now…see you soon!
Another Weekend…
Well, another weekend has come and gone. It was both productive and relaxing for me, so I’m happy about that. I read a lot of New Moon
And here are some layouts I wanted to share. These aren’t the layouts that I made this weekend, but I haven’t gotten the chance to share these on my blog yet, so here goes:
Here’s to a great start of a new week!
Celine Navarro Class Layouts
Back in January, I took a scrapbooking class at the Scrapbook Oasis from one of my favorite scrapbookers, Celine Navarro. Lucky SoCal, she was in town for CHA! We made these layouts:
And I got to take a picture with her. I was thrilled to be able to take a class from Celine, since she lives all the way across the world from me, in Europe. I jumped at the opportunity to learn from her and am so glad I did because her class was awesome!
Lucy Folch Class
Last fall (I told you I was behind on posting!), I took an online scrapbooking class from Lucy Folch at ScrapInStyle. Lucy has an amazing scrapbooking style and I am always floored at her layouts. She is one of my scrapbooking idols!
For her class, we made this adorable layout:
I got to play with gesso, mold paper with water, make flower yo-yos, and get messy with paint! I scrapped my niece because I thought this picture of her was fitting to the theme of the layout. Even though she is only a toddler, she has moments that I can mistake her for a teenager.
I was really happy that I got to learn a bunch of new techniques from Lucy’s class. I don’t think I would have ever thought of her techniques on my my own. If you get the chance, you should definitely check out Lucy’s stuff…it’s amazing!
On Board Album
I love Stampin’ Up’s On Board Albums! When I saw the new catalog had an 8×8 album, I knew I had to get it! This is one project that I’m really proud of. I really getting into the vintage, shabby chic look and am very pleased with how this came out.
The design was inspired from a class I took at Scrap In Style (one my of favorite scrapbooking sites), where I made this wall hanging. After I made the wall hanging, I thought it would made the perfect design for my album. I learned how to make these pretty paper flowers and mold paper.
I haven’t finished any of the pages of the album yet, but when I do, I’m going to put it the on my coffee table for visitors to look at when they come over to my house!
Another Mini Album
I’m really loving making these mini albums as gifts! I made this one for my MIL for her bday. I decorated this one with the Bali Breeze DS paper and the Stampin’ Up felt flowers. The felt flowers are really great. The colors that are really vibrant, combined with the felt texture make them really “pop” on any project! Thanks for checking in!
