Called to Serve

Posted on by

Some people count down until a big family vacation; others have a running countdown until they’re assigned to their mission. Whether you’re a young missionary documenting your service or a family member scrapping their letters home, you need Called to Serve. This kit from Scraps N Pieces has everything you need to take you from the initial call, through training, and for the whole of your period of service. Regardless of where your mission takes you, everyone needs a map (or map-printed solid papers), suitcases, a bicycle, a passport, and some very important books. This scrapbooking kit also comes with plenty of date stamps, thematic word art for every step of the journey, journaling cards, decorative patterned papers, and a title-worthy alpha. If you feel as driven to document as to teach, you need Called to Serve. You can get it for 50% off at GingerScraps HERE and MyMemories HERE through April 18th.

I decided to scrap some photos from our 2015 vacation. The first page documents the travel to Vancouver and the second is about the hotel we stayed at before our Disney cruise.

Initially, I was going to scrap some Epcot pictures, but then I realized we skipped the China pavilion. Instead, I scrapped some photos from the trip James and I took to San Francisco in 2011 and the outfit we bought for Jessica while there.

Travelogue Indiana

Posted on by

Connie’s latest installment in her Travelogue series is Indiana.

I have only been in Indiana for about 45 minutes twice, when James and I drove to/from Michigan from Chicago. I still have a number of pages to scrap of the getaway James and I took to Rochester and Niagara Falls and since I  used the Travelogue New York kit for many of them, I thought Travelogue Indiana would work perfectly to continue documenting that trip. All the Travelogue series coordinate, which is one of the things I love about the series.

I Am Silly

Posted on by

Life can be so serious. Sometimes you just have to cut loose and be a little ridiculous. Scraps N Pieces’ latest kit I Am Silly celebrates those little moments with the big giggle factor that makes life more fun! The playful color palette feels like a good laugh – bright poppy oranges and yellows, cool blues, and some greens to help keep you on your toes. The elements are perfectly versatile, encompassing banners, ribbons, flowers, ephemera, and silly giraffes guarantees to elicit a chuckle. The coordinating papers are playfully patterned, the alpha is a little bit off-kilter, and the word art is perfect for reminding you to indulge in a little silliness. So break out of the day-to-day doldrums and get your fun on with I Am Silly. Previews are linked to purchase the items in this kit for 50% off for the first 5 days of release.

The giraffes in this kit are just too cute, so I knew I wanted to use as many as I could. This first layout documents Janette feeding the giraffes at the Albuquerque Zoo in August 2017. Check out that long tongue.
