Beam Signing - Two Page Scrapbook Layout

 This is probably one of the most unique layouts I've done. A little background is necessary...Before the lock down the company we work for was in the midst of a huge building expansion project. Each time we've added onto our building, they've had an official beam signing ceremony where all employees are invited to sign the main cross beam for all posterity. Kind of fun! Normally, we would have all been there together signing it, and eating ice cream outside together in celebration. Then Covid entered the scene, so the greater majority of us were all working from home. My husband and I made a trip to the office to sign the beam and check out the progress on the building as the sun was going down. It was fun to see so many of my coworker's names, even though we didn't get to see them in person.

You will probably have to click on the pic to see all the names. Kind of a cool to be part of this, even under these circumstances. I now work in this new building and I have a window view. :) I love that.

The title, crane, safety cones, etc were made with my Cricut. The intricate cut of the crane came out pretty clean, thankfully. I added some paper strips and chipboard ephemera from the Covid paper pack that I had from the other layouts. It is a fun memory during the weird lockdown period.

The top pic on the left next to the title shows the view of the construction from the highway on the way home, showing the size of the addition!

Thanks for stopping by today! Enjoy your week.

Quarantine - Two Page Scrapbook Layout

 Here's another Covid layout for your scrapbook inspiration. I know many have a hard time looking back at the pandemic. I totally get that. I had Covid, and it was probably the worst I've ever felt. I also my Aunt and Uncle within 8 days of each other. It was an awful time for so many. I try to scrap just about everything. I'm also trying to look back at it in a positive way. 

I like the title on this page. I'm not sure where I got the idea. Maybe it is the colors from this page that make it more likeable. The photos are just some random things that we did to keep our sanity while we were all staying home. DIY sanitizing wipes, when we could find the right ingredients; cleaning, because, you know, what else are we going to do; catching up with the neighbors while still keeping our distance; and realizing how lazy our dog is all day long....fun stuff!😂

I love my office view of our retired greyhound (Riley) peeping me while I work. He's gone now...Very sad. He was a good boy and a loyal companion for many years.

It was such a weird time filled with uncertainty, but we tried to make the best of it.

The blue and green is a great combo! I jazzed it up with another coordinating scrap of distressed patterned paper, some washi tape, blue and green pennants wrapped with baker's twine, and strip journaling with coordinating dark green and blue cardstock journaled with a white jelly roll pen. 

Hope this layout inspires you in some way! Have a great week!
