Published Layout - Spring 2024 Creative Scrapbooker Magazine

 

Hello friends! I'm super excited to share this bit of news with you. My layout "Happy Place" was selected to be published in the Spring 2024 issue of Creative Scrapbooker magazine!!! This issue is stunning and full of all kinds of inspiration. You can check me out on page 116!

This layout features photos of me in my scrapbook/office space! We built and moved into our home at the end of 2017 and was blessed with my very own dedicated crafting space for the first time in my life! It truly is my "happy place". I still work a full time job, but love the moments I can get in there and play around with all my crafty stuff. The layout also reminds me to practice self love. These photos of me turned out okay, but who knew they'd show up on a published layout. Yikes! 

If you've never checked out one of their magazines, you definitely are missing out! You can view a super quick online preview here and scroll down to the short video. Every page of this issue is full of colorful inspiration and will feed your longing for sunshine and all the Springy things.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Have a blessed and crafty week!

New Glasses - One Page Scrapbook Layout

Do you ever scrapbook your selfies? When I take a pic that I actually like, sometimes I scrap it. Why not? It gives me an excuse to pull out some pretty paper scraps and get creative.

 I had fun making flowers with my Cricut to match those on the banner across the middle of the page.

The paper is KaiserCraft's "Paisley" and WeRMemory Keepers, along with other scraps, some miscellaneous brads, and SU markers. I experimented with a filter on one of the pics just for fun. I like how all of the colors work together and pop off the page.

Hope this inspires you to scrap yourself once in awhile. You have a story to tell, even if it's just about getting new glasses!

One Page Scrapbook Layout - Work Selfies

 Just a few random selfies of me at work. Not sure why I took these, but I really don't take enough pictures of myself. These are from a few years ago. I didn't note the date on the layouts, but that's the way it goes sometimes. They must be at least 2 years old because I have new glasses now. 

I like mixing black and white with color photos. Fun paper, cute flowers from scraps, Baker's twine and some washi. Done!

Hope this inspires you to scrap yourself once in awhile. Have a wonderful rest of the week. I'm preparing for my birthday this weekend. I will enjoy being with my family.

two page scrapbook layout - "Silly Smiles"

Here's a fun layout with my two grandbabies! They are so much fun! Being a Grandma is the best thing ever. I'm so blessed that they are here in town and we get to see them often.

 Selfies are always a challenge with these two, but I think we nailed some fun shots, inspite of my lame camera phone.

 This little cluster of hearts was cut from Cricut's Edge to Edge cartridge. I used the inside part of the hearts and spread them across the page and added some heart brads.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a productive and relaxing weekend!

Two Page Scapbook Layout - "Up North"

Northern Michigan is one of my favorite "happy places". The west coast of Michigan, Traverse City, Mackinaw...I love it all! Here is a layout from our stay in Traverse City.

 The pics aren't the most flattering of us, but we had fun taking selfies...

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!!

Two Page Scrapbook Layout - "My Sunshine"

I'm enjoying posting some layouts again. I have so many that I'd like to share, so I'm trying to stick with the blogging.

This layout is just me and my granddaughter being silly and having fun. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I sure do love this sweet girl!!
