Gingerscraps Buffet… A Day at the Beach

Posted on by

Word Art World has an ocean-friendly digital scrapbooking page kit for the Gingerscraps Buffet this month. It is filled with all kinds of summer goodies. And, for a limited time only, you can grab this entire kit for only $2 or the elements and papers separately for $1 each.

A Day at the Beach Page Kit

I don’t have very many beachy photos that are unscrapped, so I dug into my old photo collection and found this gem of my great-grandparents and my Uncle Adolf.

Gingerscraps Buffet… Flea Market

Posted on by

Heidi and Lori had so much fun with the Buffet choice this month.  For some people, a library is their happy place; for others, nothing beats a day of combing through countless tables and booths to find hidden treasure. If you are always searching for a diamond in the rough, Flea Market is just the kit for you. This colorful, slightly kitschy kit from Scraps N Pieces echoes the best parts of the flea market aesthetic, but with a timeless twist. Vintage-inspired elements share a shelf with the current trends in scrapbook paper to add some fun to your stash. A cute and quirky alpha perfectly complements everything to round out your page. So grab a vintage camera, get shooting, and scrap those memories with Flea Market.

Each part is only a $1.00 so grab them while you can! Previews are linked.

I have two layouts to share today. James’ grandmother hasn’t been doing well and she has been on my mind lately. So I went searching for a pic of her in a box of old photos I borrowed. I found this sweet photo of her holding James’ cousin Kerri Ann.

I also found this really neat photo of James’ aunt and uncle when they were newlyweds. I thought it was a really fun photo that went perfectly with Flea Market.

King of the Grill

Posted on by

Scraps N Pieces’ newest kit, King of the Grill 2, celebrates one of the best parts of summer: grilling dinner in the back yard. Grills and delicious food dominate this kit, while the warm, bold color scheme calls to mind dusk falling during the summer. Thematic word art and rustic elements add a heavy dose of charm. Although this kit is named for the men in our lives, it’s perfect for scrapping everyone’s enjoyment of summertime and good BBQ. So kick back, make yourself a plate, and scrap away with King of the Grill 2. Purchase it at SNP,  Gingerscraps, or  My Memories.

Right as I was deciding what to scrap, my sister Sarah shared a picture of my nephew Cameron and his Uncle Bill (Brian’s sister’s husband) grilling dinner, so the timing was perfect. When I asked if I could scrap it for her, she sent me another picture, which made it even better.

For my second layout, I decided to scrap my father-in-law’s senior picture. It’s kind of weird seeing this hairstyle on him, since he’s had a bald top for as long as I’ve known him.
