‘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.

‘Perfect Imperfection’ LO: Day 3- KP’s Sketchbook 4

April 11, 2012

{Day 3}

So I ALWAYS have a stack of photos printed on hand for scrapbooking. I like having the opportunity to scrapbook if I have a moment. I don’t want to be held back jsut because I don’t have any photos on hand. In the case with this sketch, I just dug through my pile and pulled out this photo to use.

This is such a horrible photo to scrapbook, but I loved it anyway. It was from my Dad’s birthday last August and I liked that it captured a fun moment of his laughing and telling a story. I focused on the fact that it was an imperfect photo so that was the theme I went with for the layout. I basically turned all the patterned pages so they were not aligned. I then made the title and the journaling on an angle as well. Def out of my comfort zone but that is the point of this class- try something fun and new with the sketches.
