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!

Honor -Two Page Graduation Layout

Here's another two page layout from our oldest son's graduation from the Police Academy. These photos were taken before the ceremony and it was the first time we saw him in his dress blues! Wow...such a chest-popping experience for his Mom and Dad. Yes there were tears from his Momma, and still are when I look at this layout. He worked so very hard for this and HE DID IT! I love everyone in these pictures!! Sometimes family life can be really hard and heart-breaking. But, I love seeing all of the happy faces here and that is what I will try to dwell on.

It may seem like an odd patterned paper choice, but I am very happy with it. I love how the green pulls the color from my granddaughter's dress and really pops off the blue. Stars are a perfect embellishment for patriotic layouts like this. I just happened to have some little bronze stars to add to the center! I love it when I have the perfect finishing touch hiding right there in my stash. 

Hope you enjoy this super simple layout that holds so much meaning for me. Thanks for stopping by and checking out my blog today! 

Two Page Scrapbook Layout - "In the Garden"

I just realized I failed to share all of my Israel layouts. Here's one of the Garden of Gethsemane where he sweat blood and willing gave himself up to the authorities, knowing the torture that would come his way.

 The garden was a lot smaller than I imagined it, but steeped with history and emotion.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! More Israel (and other layouts) to come!

Two Page Scrapbook Layout - "Bike Hike"

This is the second to the last layout from our California trip last summer. We hosted a bike tour on Coronado Island with a few of the agents who were on the agent trip.

 What a beautiful day we had! I picked a cruiser bike and it was a pretty comfortable 10 miles with only a few hills here and there. We took some great pictures along the way, and had great fellowship with our agent friends.

 Beautiful sites to see at every stop. The paper, paper clip embellishment, and letter stickers are Fancy Pants "Down by the Shore". The title font is from Lyrical Letters 2 and the bike is cut from Going Places.

Hope you are enjoying looking at my California trip album as much as I've enjoyed sharing this trip of a lifetime with you! There's one final "sweet" layout to share...Stop back tomorrow.

Two Page Scrapbook Layout - "So Fancy"

Happy Saturday!

Who doesn't love a great wedding. Here's a layout of a family member's wedding. It's such a great photo op when we're all dressed up and in the same place at the same time! :)

 Look at the beautiful humans that I love!

 The polka dot is actually gold foil. I used vellum and gold layers for the flower (SU 5 petal flower punch).
