#grandmalife - Two Page Scrapbook Layout

 We are very blessed to have our two grandchildren living within 15 minutes of us. Many grandparents have to travel so much farther to enjoy their littles. We sometimes pick them up from school, take them for donuts, to the park, or the Dollar Store. Sometimes they also get to stay up late, eat popcorn, watch movies and spend the night at our house. This is from a overnighter a few years ago. Time is a thief!

I used an assortment of patterned paper and layered them up pennants together going one way across the page. Double layering the pictures is not real common for me, but I love the extra emphasis it adds with this layout.

We have so much fun with these two!! We have our moments of struggle, as well, but that is all part of it, and worth it all!

I used an oval scalloped punch to frame up the "memories" embellishment, a white jelly roll pen on navy for the date, and the Cricut for my bullet journaling. The hearts were cut with my Cricut and added to the left of each bullet point. One of the zip strips from the bottom of the patterned paper was perfect for tearing and adding to look like Washi tape at the top of a picture.

I like how the layout turned out and love the smiling faces on these pages . Hope you are inspired in some way. Have a crafty week.

Paradise - Two Page Hawaii Scrapbook Layout

 Long time no post!! Sorry...Trying to get back into the habit of posting my layouts more often. 

Happy New Year!! It's already been crazy. I'm praying for our nation!

I think it's time for some more beautiful sun shiny layouts from Hawaii. We had dinner at a neighboring restaurant  from our hotel. Man was it good. We ate in an open area and watched the most gorgeous sunset! To die for!!

**Scrapbook layout photos removed for publication** See it here on June 18, 2021!!

I couldn't resist using this tropical floral paper, along with some more subtle patterns. I love how it came out. I do love to coordinate my patterned papers! It was almost too pretty to use, but hey...I can always buy more. 😁

They didn't have enough extra menus to let me take one with me, so I asked permission to take a picture of both sides of the surfboard menu, then cut around them and popped them up on my layout. Notice the cute pineapple border! That was the bottom part of the 12 x 12 paper. I love it when the manufacturers print that strip with a coordinating pattern. 

If you ever get to Duke's be sure and share a piece of Hula Pie....oh...my...word!

Thanks for stopping by today. See you again soon!
