A place to showcase my crafts and talk about it...what's better than that? I hope to inspire and encourage others to create things for themselves, friends and family.
I am scraplifting myself with this two page spread of my granddaughter's first T-ball season. Do you do that? I mean why not?
It definitely makes it easier to complete a layout when you have a sketch in mind.
There are 8 pictures here. I think I'm mostly excited about using two washi tapes on it! The baseball paper is 6x12 on the left side and 4x6 on the right. I used Cricut cuts for the embellishments on the left side and to cut the circles.
This is a fun layout that really concentrates on the photos. I love that!
I wasn't sure if I was going to participate in the Rainbow Crush hop this month but luckily I found mint green in my stash! Here's my layout and my video:

I went through all my wooden/brown embellishments to find something that sorta went with the theme. This was a hard one! I did find some mintish enamel dots that coordinated but luckily those triangles gave this layout all the love it needed!
Be sure to watch the playlist and leave a comment on the hop videos. There are some great scrapbookers participating!

I had so much fun putting together this Month in Review two page spread. All the items with the exception of the cardstock bases are from the Freebie Pile at a retreat that I attended.
I love the Freebie Table for two reasons, the first is obvious...free stuff and second, I like to contribute to get rid of my goods too. Win-Win
Each paper strip is 2x12 and I adhered them across the two bases. Most are crooked but there are a few straight ones. I don't know why someone got rid of these papers, they are so fun!
Once I added the strips and the photos, I created clusters to embellish. I used the Cricut to cut the FEB for the title on the left side.
Watch the YouTube process video to see how it was done!

The challenge color is perfect for these photos I have of our 49er Superbowl Party in 2024.
I used two different sketches from Scrapping the Day Away and lots of red.
More pictures:
The two footballs were the negative from a project that I completed before. I just had a feeling that I would use them for something. I thought about adding a back layer, but for this layout, I felt like it looked fine without one.
I know this side looks a little plain, but I actually like it. I may go back and add some journaling strips, but I'm not sure.
The three patterned papers are 4x6.
Here is the YOUTUBE PLAYLIST for this hop! All the videos in one place!
Hi there. I'm a Guest Designer this month for AnnMarie at Scrapping the Day Away. If you're a new or seasoned scrapbooker, this site is the place to be. Not only are there sketches, prompts and tutorials but there is also friendships and camaraderie!
I'm working with this sketch:
And created this layout!
When I saw those triangles, I knew exactly what photos I was going to use. They scream baseball pennants, right?! And the three baseballs! I mean, come on!
The SF and title were made with my Cricut and the other embellishments are from a sticker collection.

They go perfectly with a Winnie The Pooh image I already had.
What I love about the honeycomb cut file is that there are a multitude of sizes and choices of them. I used three different types to create a triangle around my page and the honey pot was perfect to house Pooh.
Using liquid adhesive is perfect for the pieces and my adhesive of choice.
Once I laid down the layers - there are four - it was easy to put together.
I did a little inking around the label of the pot just to separate it from the rest of the pot. The file does have two different colors but I decided to keep the the same.
The pictures of my daughter and granddaughter, some paper scraps and Pooh together with the honey cuts make a super cute layout!
Be sure to watch the YouTube process video to see how I put it together in Cricut Design Space first by using Guides and then complete it!

I bought some scrapbooking kits from Club Scrap and had fun thinking outside the box with them. My family and I do a virtual marathon during the month of November. Each year, my nephew creates a new logo and I make my patterned paper choices based on it.
With that being said, these embellishments from Club Scrap worked out perfectly for this occasion.
I wanted to add blue so I did! The sneakers were cut with the Cricut. See how these two pages were created by watching the YouTube process video:
This annual virtual marathon is in its fifth year. We started it during Covid as a way to get together but separately to honor my nephew who passed during that time. We continue the tradition because we are building new memories without any extra travel. We create a challenge on the Map My Walk app so we can share photos, leave comments and track our walks. It's a great event that we all look forward to every year. If you have any questions, let me know.
I love a good Blog Hop and this one hosted by Printable Cuttable Creatables is one of favs. The DT always come up with fabulous projects that inspire me to create. I know you'll agree!

I love using cute cut files as embellishments on my scrapbooking layouts and although it's a simple cut, it's perfect for these 'walking' photos. I use the entire cut file as well as contoured out sections to create a variety of windy looks.
Watch my YouTube process video to see how the spread was created.

I went to a scrapbook crop this past Saturday and was able to finish lots of layouts. That’s always a good feeling.
I'm still behind but I think we're always behind, right? I just posted a two page layout spread on YouTube using a sticker sheet by Echo Park along with a scrapbook kit that I made by gathering patterned papers and cardstock from my stash.
If you're like me, you have lots and lots of papers that will coordinate with sticker sheets or other embellishments. We just need to remind ourselves that we don't need all the things!
I used a sketch for this that I've used before which made this quick to put together. Although I did change the patterned paper a little. I also used my Cricut to create the title on the left. Using an assortment of fonts makes it super fun!
I love the non traditional color scheme too!
Be sure to watch the process video and leave a comment. I love reading them.
I feel like I've been lagging with my scrapbooking lately. I didn't even feel like it today, but I pulled out my TomKat Strut scrapbooking kit and went to work. I never thought about scrapbook kits this way before, but it's nice to have all the things pulled out in advance just in case you need a little nudge.
I recently purchased a few kits from Club Scrap because I saw an ad and the kit caught my eye. When I was ordering the particular kit, I thought why not check out other goodies. So I did. I grabbed these cut a parts because I thought they would work with the color scheme for the TomKat Strut Year Four graphic.
I was able to get ten total photos on this two page spread and that always makes me happy! Check out the YouTube process video to see how it was put together.
Super simple with the focus on the photos - just like I want it!
The TomKat Strut is a virtual marathon that my family and I started to honor my nephew who passed away during COVID. We couldn't have a service so we created this instead. During the quarantine, many marathons were switched to virtual marathons using an assortment of apps to track distances, etc. Well, we did just that. All participants upload the app on their phones and log in right before they start walking.
The TKS lasts for the entire month of November and we have until the end of the month to walk 50k (which is a little more than 30 miles). We have challenges throughout, share photos, comment encouraging words and some trash talk all month.
This is a fun layout since it is really just one really large cut file and a sticker!
I saved some paper by gutting the base layer. What an easy step! Watch the process video:
There's really not much more I can say about it except this. But watch the process video to see how this is put together and if you are interested in hearing more about our family's Annual Virtual Marathon, let me know.
We designate the entire month for this marathon and we hold challenges, photo ops and even award certificates at the end. It has really helped our family take time to remember loved ones that we've lost and build on our relationships especially since many of us no longer live near each other.
I also do a quick flip to show the title pages for the other years of this annual event.
