Called to Serve

Posted on April 12, 2019 by Jennifer

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.

In gorgeous colors and overflowing with themed elements, the BEST OF CANADA collection includes Canadian icons such as a beaver and a moose, plaids and maple leaves, totem poles, maple syrup and an ice hockey stick, flags and coins, among many other awesome goodies and patterns. This is the perfect collection to add some Canadian flavor to your layouts, whether you are visiting Canada or the Canada pavilion at Epcot, scrapping your Canadian heritage, and so much more!

I have two layouts to share today. The first one is when we traveled to Vancouver in 2015. The second is from our Disney World trip in 2014. I have plans to make a second layout to document the Canada Pavilion, but I ran out of time before the release.

Oh Canada… Eh!

Posted on May 16, 2016 by Jennifer

Canada has a reputation for moose, maple syrup, and great manners. But more than that, Canada is a vast country full of beautiful sights and lots of snow. Oh Canada… Eh!, the latest kit from Scraps N Pieces, celebrates the joys of Canada for residents and visitors alike. This kit’s rich color palette draws on the red and white of the flag, the greens of the trees, and a warm neutral to complement all of your photos. Featured elements include moose galore, maple leaves, hockey gear, ephemera, and a cairn. Oh Canada… Eh! also contains word strips for famous destinations, a square alpha for title work, and enough flowers, banners, and ribbons to decorate your pages for day. Celebrate Canada with Oh Canada… Eh!

Don’t miss out on getting this fun kit for 1/2 price during this first week of release. Previews are linked.

I made two layouts about our visit to Vancouver last summer. The first layout is about us leaving Stanley Park before catching up with the rest of the family to board the Disney Wonder.

Good Times

Posted on August 9, 2015 by Jennifer

It’s Gotta Grab It time at Gotta Pixel.

Word Art World put together a really awesome contribution this month. It can be used for a variety of photo subjects. Good Times is available as five separate pieces for $1 each or you can buy all five for $5.

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.
