Never Grow Up - Two Page Scrapbook Layout

 It's always a treat to get one-on-one time with the grandkids, one at a time. They are fun together, but it's great to be able to concentrate on each of them separately in a way that makes them feel extra special. These pictures are of our grandson enjoying time with us at the park. It won't be long and they won't want to spend that much time with their "old" grandparents. 😢 This layout is from a few years back.

I love these two fun papers together. They're all boy just like he is.

The numbered washi tape is perfect for a kids layout, and the arrow washi tape plays nicely with the arrowed paper at the bottom of the layout. I added some black and white baker's twine on the date tag and one of the photos for extra texture.

Do you put titles on your scrapbook layouts? It's one of my favorite parts of designing the layout. All of the options in Design Space are so fun to put together and mix and match in my own way. I create and lay it out in Design Space so that I can see what it will look like together and get the sizing correct for the space on my page.

Thanks for stopping by today! Enjoy your weekend!

Play the Day Away - Two Page Scrapbook Layout

 Here's a fun little summertime layout that I'd like to share with you. These pictures are from a playdate with our grandkids. We try to cherish every moment, because the years fly by so fast. Some day soon, they won't want to spend time with their Grandparents anymore. I can't believe two years have flown by since these pictures were taken. How does this happen? (Besides the obvious...it takes me forever to post my layouts!) 💁

I used some paper from a vintage pack to bring out the blues and greens in the photos. The strip of whimsical grass was cut with my Cricut along with the layered title.

I love this layout for multiple reasons....the faces of my grandbabies, multiple wallet size photos, and the colors that bring out the photos. A simple grid style layout pulls it all together simply.

Hope your summer has been full of great memory making!! 

Play Time - Two Page Summer Scrapbook Layout

 Can you believe our summer is fading away so quickly?? Some say this year of virus, Politics and unrest is dragging. To me it seems like the year has flown by so fast!! It's definitely time to share a summer layout from a few years back before I get back to my Hawaii layouts. 

I had this fun paper in my stash for quite awhile. I like it with these pictures. The only thing I see now that I'm missing is the date. Dangggit! I do that way too often. 

First of all, the concentric circles are perfect, because these two crazies keep us running in circles. I'm glad we're younger grandparents than some, but tell that to my bones!! We had a great time with them and enjoyed every second of the crazy...Having already raised my two boys, I know how fast these years go by and we must make the most of them!!

I cut the clouds with my Cricut. I think I merged and welded two different clouds together to get a nice backdrop for my title and hand drew the accents at the top. The banner down the side was from a scrap and of course, I journaled around one of the circles. I used washi tape to attach the picture to the banner.

Thanks for stopping by today. Enjoy your Labor Day weekend. We plan to get some things done and still enjoy some down time. 

Two page Scrapbook Layout - "Good Times"

Who is hanging on to the last few days of summer?!? Fall is, by far, my favorite, but I've learned through the years how fast times flies....so I'm hanging on to summer for awhile longer.

 I don't always break out the camera on our Sunday family dinner get togethers. I'm glad I did on this day, because these shots are priceless to me. Our two boys, their sweet wives, and these two grandchildren have our heart!

I cut the title with my Cricut to look like the patterned paper on the bottom part of the layout. My patterned paper scraps came in handy to show through the heart cutouts. I doodled a few X's just for fun, to match the cross-stitch look in one of the hearts below.

 Bright colored washi strips to line the edges and a little bitty banner with a heart for extra interest along the bottom. I used a few of the heart shaped negatives to scatter around the title.

These are my favorite people...my family! Can't get enough of them. We are so blessed to have them nearby and that we're all willing to make time for each other in this busy phase of life. 😘
