Puppy Love- Studio Calico 1.20.13 Sunday Sketch

January 30, 2013

This is exactly my kind of sketch!

–1.20.13 Sunday Sketch–

Oh, the structure. The grid. The alignment. It all makes me happy! So very happy!!!! I just love all of those things. I love how it all works together and feels connected. I bet I will be keeping this sketch around to refer back to every now and then.

I made some changes to the sketch since I didn’t have 6 photos for the layout so I shuffled things around and put the title in the area where a photo normally would have gone and then some embellishments in another. I didn’t put the title on a pattened paper block because I had the woodgrain alphas that I really wanted to use, since they matched the tone of the patterned papers I was using.

Get ready to see A LOT of doggy based layouts now. We are so excited to get our puppy on Saturday!

Happiness Right Here- Studio Calico 1.13.13 Sunday Sketch

January 29, 2013

at least I like the photo in this layout.

–1.13.13 Sunday Sketch–

Not my favorite layout. That’s just the way it is. I liked the sketch but I just was rushing with this and it shows- at least I think so. I still had fun stamping and punching out the clouds.

Happiness Right Here- Layout

I dunno, I shouldn’t bitch about this layout. I had enjoyed making it (quickly) and it was just nice to make something. You can’t get better at something without making a mistake or just not liking everything along the way either. I think the thing that I don’t like is that I used that stamp as the title. Maybe I’ll redo it. Probably not tho. I’m lazy.

At least I got to use up some random scraps of patterned paper punching out the clouds. Thinking positively here. 🙂

‘Zoo’- LO… lions, tigers, and something else, oh my!

November 28, 2012

Ah, as the temperature dips the craftiness increases. It’s nice to kill a whole night r even day by scrapbooking without feeling guilty about missing a great day outside. Clearly, I’m not the only one who feels this way as the ever fabulous Cathy Zielske tweeted this awesome meme. It’s a rif on Game of Thrones and scrapbooking…

I just love this. It totally made my day when I saw this. And yes, it reminded me to order more adhesive.

So getting back in gear with scrapbooking has been a lot of fun. I’ve really been trying to use products I have not used before or in a long time or products in ways I have not used before. It helps me stretch my imagine and use my stash.

My stash of paper and alphas has been getting a tad extreme so be prepared to see layouts using a lot of them as I try to use them creatively. In this case I used 5 pieces of paper to layer on a solid cardstock. The grey and white pieces that look hand drawn were actually patterned rectangles on a piece of patterned paper that I individually cut out, so I guess that brings the papers up to 6 kinds. I finished up a pack of stickers I had as we well as used new brads ad other 3d embellishments. My favorite thing I that I used are the 4 different kinds of Mini Market Alphas that I used to label each photo. I seriously love this alphas from October Afternoon.

Project Life 2012: Week 6

February 26, 2012

Oh week 6 of 2012… I loved you so much! So many fantastic things happened! First off I took a cheese making class, then I watch the Giants beat the Patriots (AGAIN!) at the Super Bowl, and heading down to CT to go into NYC to see the parade. At that was just Sunday- Tuesday!

One of the thoughtful things I captured was that Price left a Cadbury Creme Egg in my coat pocket and I discovered it on my way to work. I think moments like that are often overlooked but they really matter. At least they do to me. So that is why I am glad to be doing PL so I could capture that sweet gesture.

Week 6: 

Full Spread

Not sure if I am going to add more photos from the parade on the back side of the 6×12. I keep debating it. We’ll see how I feel looking back at it in another week.

Left Side

 

One of the things I like most about getting up really early for work has been seeing the sunsets. I didn’t so much for adorning that photo besides some alphas and the patterned paper but I love it’s presence on the page.

Right Side

 

I enjoyed playing with the pattern of the paper for my journaling. It made that 2×3 piece of paper a lot more fun.
