This is probably the ONLY picture I have of my mom and I. And even then it's a family picture that I just cropped. She died from Breast Cancer when I was 4 years old. She is one of the bravest, most beautiful people I know. I wish I had more information about who she was. Her thoughts and feelings, especially about me. Maybe that is selfish, but being the youngest of 5 and so young when she died, I just feel like I'm missing out. Anyway! Not wanting to get way too "sob story" on you. This is a BIG reason why I am so passionate about scrapbooking and memory keeping. I'm terrible at keeping a journal...but I'm AWESOME at keeping a scrapbook. So it kind of takes the place of my journal. But if anything were to happen to me, I want to make sure my son has plenty of pictures and memories and journaling to read.
So. Back to the layouts. I'm just going to show you what I have been working on. No detailed pictures or anything but PLEASE...if you have ANY questions, feel free to comment! I'm more then happy to help or answer any questions!
I love how this page turned out. I have been dying to use these cut aparts from Bella Blvd's Tiny Tots line. I knew they would go perfect on a Zoo page! I think the title is so cute too!
I saw this idea on Pinterest. I ran across only a couple of pages that did this fold back thing. In hindsight, I wish I had used a smooth piece of black paper so the journaling would have been easier to write and easier to see, but you live and learn. And I'm happy with how it turned out since I have never done anything like that.
After taking a picture of this page and looking at it more, I think I need to add more journaling somewhere on here. But I think this page is one of my favorites that I have done. It's just so simplistic, but so festive and summery! I also tried a bit of mixed media on this one, which is hard to see behind the photo.
I watched a YouTube video of Kristina Werner doing this type of thing on a card. And I thought...I could totally adapt that for a layout! So I did! This is my kitty Angel. She was my baby for the longest time. The cat stamp set is from My Favorite Things.
And this is the last layout that I have done. I scraplifted this idea from Paige Evans. Which, if you haven't seen her stuff you are so missing out! She is super inspiring, does amazing things with paper, and is helping me get rid of my giant stash of scraps. Hahaha! The word currently recently came in a Studio Calico kit.
So that is what I have been up to since not blogging! Of course these and enjoying time with family! I have a few things up my sleeve for this week, more then likely there will be a post everyday this week. And pretty soon I will be having a GIVEAWAY! So please share my blog, share my instagram, follow my blog here so you don't miss out! And as I mentioned earlier, feel free to ask questions, or even give suggestions! Happy Scrapping!!
