Hello! Today I’m sharing a few layouts with my two favorite scrapbook subjects.

This first layout was done for a speed scrap. A speed scrap (SS) is where you’re given a set of instructions and a time limit (usually 1 or 2 hours). The instructions were provided by Colleen of Mommy Made This.
1. Choose 1 plain paper for the background & 1 photo and a frame it fits inside. Place the photo in the centre of your page.
2. Choose 3 papers (at least 2 patterned) and make rectangles a little larger than your frame and layer them behind the frame. (I used 2 ovals and 1 rectangle.)
3. Cut 5 short thin strips of paper (or alternatively ribbon) and layer then haphazardly behind and at the bottom of the photo frame.
4. Using at least 8 elements and a string/swirl cluster around the photo sides & bottom.
5. Scatter several (at least 4) small buttons on and around the cluster.
6. Place a title in the bottom corner of the page and add any date or journaling you wish.
7. Add any extra touches, upload to the gallery & post in the forum.

Then I had to make a coordinating second layout with more of the photos from that particular bath time.

And lastly here is a layout of my girls. I had scrapped these two photos in another SS, but I wasn’t happy with the result, so I made a new layout with the same photos.

Good morning! Today I am sharing two more layouts for my parents Canadian Rockies trip. The first uses February’s Topsy Turvy template. I find templates and sketches a great way to expand my thinking of how to organize a layout.

For the Birds

Posted on by

Amy of Amy’s Designs has a new kit out today called For the Birds. It is a fun kit perfect for all those wishing for spring.

 

I have three layouts using it to share today.

First up, is a layout of my sweet baby girl. I am over the moon excited by how it turned out. Journaling reads: “Janette is starting to hold onto toys placed in her hands. If she wants to, she has quite the grip. 3 months old, February 7, 2012”
