Comic Book

Posted on August 31, 2015 by Jennifer

This month’s Scraps N Pieces Collab is called Comic Book. It is a fun super hero themed kit. There are two templates and one of them looks much like a comic book page. You can buy the kit with or without the QPs.

I have two layouts to share today using Comic Book. The first is a themed layout with Janette modeling one of my sewing creations. Journaling reads: Super hero capes have become my go-to gift for boys. I’ve made them enough that I’ve perfected my pattern and technique. They are quick to sew and they’re personalized with the initial of the recepient. I’ve been told that the recepients love them, which makes me happy. Today, I decided to have Janette model the one for Wyatt, so I could take pictures that showcased the cape a little better than my previous method of photographing them while hanging on a hanger.

The second is a non-themed layout when I took the girls to a local bounce house. Journaling reads: Jessica had been asking to go to a bounce house, so we went to iPlay to celebrate the last week of summer. I had asked if some of the girls’ friends could join us, but only Leah’s mom Michelle replied with a yes. However, we saw so many people we knew. When we first arrived around 11:15 AM Jessica’s Grasshopper classmates, Issac, Ben and Jonas were there, plus my MOPS friends Claudia and Jill with their kids and of course Michelle with Leah and Hayden. Later, Jessica’s Grasshoppers classmates Len and Tye plus Len’s little sister Lily, who was Janette’s Ladybug classmate. Since I had packed a lunch for us, we ended up staying until almost 6. The girls had an absolute blast and they definitely slept well that night.2015-08-31_LO_iPlay

Did you know that a few days before the start of the new month, you can buy the next month’s collab at a special 50% discount? That’s right. September’s Collab is already available. The catch is you only get to see the color palette. Then on September 1st, it goes to full price, but you can see the whole kit before purchase.

My Little Green Thumb

Posted on August 20, 2015 by Jennifer

No matter the season, there is always fun to be found in a garden. My Little Green Thumb brings the joy of gardening—spring, summer, and fall—to your scrapbook pages. This sweet (and savory) kit contains 24 patterned papers and tons of fun gardening elements that capture the happiness of having a green thumb. Featured elements include seed packets, earthworms, gardening implements, birds, bees, ladybugs, flowers, banners, and buttons. My Green Thumb also comes with a cute alphabet, perfect for labeling your tasty harvest photos. Document how your memories grow with My Little Green Thumb.  This kit was made by request from Scraps N Pieces’ FB Manager, Stephanie!

You can get it at Scraps N Pieces for 1/2 off this week and it will be in the My Memories store in the next couple of days as well.SNP_MLGT_preview

I have three layouts to share with you today. First up is a layout with pictures of my grandparent’s summer garden when I was a kid. It was humongous. That’s my sister in the smaller photo, looking towards the road in front of their house. That’s my Mom and I stooped down with my sister and grandfather behind us. I think we might be picking blackberries. I have vague recollections of blackberries.

This second layout contains pictures of the rooftop garden at the Fairmont Waterfront hotel in Vancouver, where we stayed last month before our Alaskan cruise. Journaling reads: Since we had a little time before our bus picked us up for our morning tour, we headed up to level three to explore the rooftop gardens. Located on the south side of the hotel tower, the kitchen garden contained a variety of fruits and veggies.

Alphabet Soup Plus New Quick Pages

Posted on August 13, 2015 by Jennifer

Scrapbooks tell our families’ stories. Sometimes they go chronologically; sometimes they go from A to Z. Tell your stories letter by letter with the Alphabet Soup templates by Scraps N Pieces. These bold, easy-to-use templates come in PSD, TIFF, PNG, and PAGE format so everyone can create their perfect pages. Collect them all or mix-and-match packs for the ultimate Alphabet Soup.

Get the first two packs during this first week of release for 1/2 off.  Previews are linked.

I love the idea of making an Alphabet book for the girls, so I decided that is what I’m going to do. I picked a SNP Store collab, so all the pages will coordinate, but have enough variety. I started with A, F, and H and will be adding the others too. All the pictures are ones I’ve taken that fit the letter. I also decided that I would add some elements that fit the letter too. So that is why A has an apple and ants, F has a fence, and H has a hat.

I decided to scrap two pages from our recent Alaskan cruise vacation. These two pages are from the first day of our vacation in Vancouver.

Journaling reads: After Jessica and Janette went to bed, I went on a walk around our hotel with Sarah. Rylan, who took a super late nap, and Cameron joined us. We went to a nearby pharmacy for me to pick up an item I forgot to pack. Then we wandered around looking for a snack for Cameron. I, of course, snapped a few pics while on our walk. The store with our last name warranted a pic, as well as the views across the harbor.

Journaling reads: Cameron really wanted to use the escalator, so when we arrived back at the hotel, he went down the stairs to the food court level and came back up the escalator.
