Richard Marx - One Page Scrapbook Layout

 We don't normally do much for Valentine's Day. Guess we just prefer to stay in, especially when it's chilly outside. But a few years back, my sweet Hubby treated me to a Richard Marx contest right here in town. It was so much fun!! He puts on a great show and, of course, I LOVE his music. It was a great evening together. 

This beautiful paper is so pretty!! Full of pink, red, lacey doilies and all things L.O.V.E. I didn't need to add very much, except my pictures and some journaling. I matted the photos in gray, and double matted the photo of me and my Hubs. I wish I would have used my Cricut to journal, but it's at least legible! Why didn't I wear red or pink? 💕

Hope you enjoy your Valentine's Day with those you love! Have a great week!

Guacamole with PaPa - One Page Scrapbook Layout

 It has been so long! Time has been getting away from me lately. Way past time for another post. 

Here is a cute little one pager of my sweet Granddaughter and my Hubby making Guacamole together a few years ago. She loves avocadoes. She even asked to help him make it last month when we had family over.  I love the two of them making it together, more than I love Guacamole, actually. 😏😜

I used a pretty floral for the background and a smaller square of green scrap behind the photos and the title. The tags were in the same pack as the floral paper. Not much more to add, except the date and some white twine. 

Enjoy your week!

Double layout - "Ropes"

My favorite time of year seems to be slipping away too quickly! Brrrr! Praying for the East Coast and everybody inland who is dealing with or preparing for "Frankenstorm". That's one serious looking storm on the radar.

Earlier this year we attended a birthday party for a friend of the family. The shindig was at a youth center and they had a fabulous ropes course, up in the rafters of the gymnasium. Crazyness! Not for me, but my son had a ball. Of course, it did make for some great pictures.

Once again, I had a lot of pictures, so placing them in a grid worked the best. The lined graph cardstock helped emphasize all of the horizontals in the pictures. A couple of different border punches on strips of paper help to draw the eye across the two pages.

That's his worried Mama looking up, praying he won't fall. =) The little bungee cords made out of braided hemp didn't photograph very well. When the paper lays flat, as it will inside the plastic sleeve, it looks way better.

I happened to have the hand paperclips on-hand (lol...coudn't resist) in my stash. I used a couple new stamps from SU on Kraft paper inked with black around the edges and a handmade Kraft flower for embellishments. I journalled right on the cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by! Take care and be safe out there in your corner of the world.

Blessings!

"Cherish" double layout

Yes, I'm posting two days in a row...Aren't you proud of me? Here is a layout that I completed a few weeks back. These are more engagement pictures of my son and his fiance'. I love the way this page turned out!
Do you love the graph paper background as much as I do? I bought a whole pack of different graph, ledger type paper. The background is stamped with tan and green using the SU Medallion stamp. If you look at it closely you might also see some of the Medallions stamped in white.

The tissue flower was a "make and take" project from Archivers. Very easy and fun to make. I used a couple of different glitter mists on it. The viney branch was cut with my Cricut machine. If you want to know the cartridge, leave a comment and I'll find it for you.

I believe the layout sketch was from PageMaps. I love their sketches and use them frequently, but I always try to give them credit for their idea.

Hope you enjoy! Thanks for looking at my blog. Would love to hear from you...just leave a comment or become a "follower".
