Hi everyone! It's August!!! Time for reflections of summer and gearing up for back-to-school time. This reminded me of my daughter's end of the year party she had in May. For the end of her first grade year, her teacher hosted a party at her family's ranch. The kids and their families came and rode horses, had a pot luck and ate s'mores. It was so much fun! I wanted to be sure I documented this quickly. Check out the video to see my thoughts and process!
Supplies:
Patterned Paper: Echo Park, Crate Paper, Webster's Pages, cardstock
Thickers: Printshop
Stickers: Crate Paper Notes & Things
Flair: American Crafts
Enamel dots: My Mind's Eye
Thanks so much for joining me today. I hope I helped spark some ideas for summer and school layouts to make your own! Have a great week!
Hello everyone! Here in the states, we are celebrating our Independence this month. I have decided to use some of our military pictures to represent our patriotic pride. Being a military family, we have plenty of pictures to scrap! These are some photos I took at an air show that we attended last year. Please check out the video to see my process and please leave any questions you might have for me!
Thanks so much for stopping by today. I'd love for you to come check out my blog as well: www.thescrapangel.blogspot.com Have a great week!
Hi everyone! Here is my layout for the month of June. I live on an island (albeit a very large one) and the part that I LOVE the most about that is having such easy access to the beach and the ocean at anytime I want. I find visiting the ocean to be the most relaxing and stress-relieving thing in the world and whenever life gets to me... that is where I go.
This photo is from earlier in the spring but the message is how we all love the beach and that the weather has now improved so we can go again. Don't get me wrong... we go year round here (and are grateful for that) but being able to go and be warm and not worry about layers is awesome. As is walking in the surf or day-dreaming on a log.
Here is my layout:
I wanted to keep this layout fairly simple although I will confess I had planned to use a heart stencil and modeling paste to add a few hearts or some texture behind my layers. Oh well! I did however want to tone down my background paper so I applied a fairly liberal coat of gesso to it (thus the curly edges, sorry!). I used a scraper to put it on and as it dries pretty quick I layered it on as I went just working from top corner to bottom corner and once I went back up to the top it was dry enough to add a bit more. I think I added it about 3 times to get to this level of opacity.
I also, as you can see in the video, used my very old Heidi Swapp distress tool on the edges of the top and bottom strips. I just didn't want them to be too flat.
Can you believe it -- this is the same paper colelction I used YESTERDAY but with a totally different look! That is one of the things I really love abotu Crate Paper and also about using scraps. They are what you make them.

I really pulled out some oldie but goodie paper for this -- Crate Paper circa 2011 I believe! You can always use your scraps--keep them in bags according to color or theme and pull them out when you have photos to match. This page is pretty ecelectic bnut since I used elements from the same Collection, it all works together without too much effort on my part.

Yay! Day 4 of the Daily Scrapbook Page is here. This is a simple one to do with scraps -- all you need is a little bit of paper and some leftovers from another project! It wouldn't be July if we didn't throw a little Christmas in the mix, right? I still have not scrapped last Christmas--yikes, I know?! Well, if you are like me, then this is a great and easy layout to make, especially when Christmas themed paper might be scarce in your local scrapbook store at this time of year.
Here's how I made it:
Supplies:
Paper, Chipboard Stickers, Pom Trim, Stickers by Crate Paper
Label DieCut by Silhouette
Epoxies by Epiphany Crafts
Stickers by Bella Blvd
