Big Picture Class - Phone Photography Project

I am currently taking a class from Big Picture Scrapbooking.  It is called the Phone Photography Project.  I originally took the class to get more knowledge about phone photography for my class at the high school but it is only the second day and I am having so much fun!  Today my kids and I did an initial scavenger hunt taking photos with my phone as we found them and then put the photos into a collage using an app named Fuzel.   We laughed and drove around town like crazy people trying to find the letters we needed.  The kids loved it.  This is the final product.  I may even frame them for my wall.

Scrapbooking Fun With my Friend Diana

Diana and I try to get together at least once a month to scrapbook.  :)  This time I surprised her with the Elle's studio June 2013 kit. http://www.shopellesstudio.com/Elle-s-Studio-June-2013-Kit.html  I bought a kit for each of us and Diana put some papers together to make our own challenge kits.  We had a fun time and I made some fun pages including my page for the Bossy Scrapper.  :) 

June Bossy Scrapper

It's that time again.  Time to play along with Andrea Ancich and the girls at bossyscrapper.blogspot.com.  They make a list of supplies, give you an example and tell you to make your own layout using all those supplies.  This month I was doing extremely well until I got to the title and couldn't figure out a one word title for the layout.  :)

The June Challenge...

1. 6 patterned papers (NO cardstock!)
2. One word title
3. An instagram type picture (think square-ish)
4. 3 different inks/mists
5. A heart
6. An arrow
7. A journaling block
8. Washi tape (of course) – at least 3 different

My interpretation...

Missing Pages

At some time over the last few months, I have created a few pages and never blogged about them.  As I was editing photos this week, I noticed the photographed pages.  I don't think I have blogged them yet so here they are.  :)

May Bossy Scrapper

It's always fun to play along with Andrea Ancich and the girls at bossyscrapper.blogspot.com.  They make a list of supplies, give you an example and tell you to make your own layout using all those supplies.  Very Bossy if you ask me, but so much fun.  I attempted the layout for May.

The May Challenge...
1. one photo
2. four patterned papers
3. two colors of cardstock
4. three different alpha or fonts
5. three stickers
6. a repetitive shape or pattern
7. a number
8. an arrow
9. wood embellishment(s)
10. washi
11. a button
12. thread
13. mist or ink
14. girl or boy shape (bonus points for both!)

My interpretation...

Thanks so much ladies.  I had tons of fun. 

Memorial Weekend Crafting

I had such a great and relaxing time scrapbooking Sunday night with a great friend.  I used a Gossamer Blue kit featuring the DIY Crate paper line and Maggie Holms and had a ton of fun.  I also threw in some Honey Project Life Cards and DIY Instagram transparencies.

I have found a stack of photos of Ellie when she was a baby to scrapbook.  It is a great trip down memory lane.  :)

Mother's Day Cards + One More

As always, I end up staying up late the night before a birthday or holiday making cards to go with gifts for the people I love.  I was smart this time.  I decided with the extras I would put together a extra Birthday card.  :)

Creating Keepsakes Convention Portland

Nothing is better than time with good friends...especially if we are scrapbooking.  ;)  Our girls weekend was fun.  I completed a mini album and several pages.  An overall great weekend.

 

 

 

Scrap Happy Retreat

I love making new friends and scrapbooking.  So when given the opportunity to go to the Scrap Happy retreat I took it.  I made many new friends and got tons of work done that weekend.  I also was introduced to some fun party games.  Below are a few of the layouts I did that weekend.
