12x12 Fun on the Lake Scrapbook Layout

Good Friday morning friends! It's time for another design team challenge over at Frosted Designs and I had so much fun with this one!  
 
The theme was "Up, Up, and Away" ... it could be birds, airplanes, kites, etc. I immediately thought of the kids flying through the air on their raft last summer at the lake. It scares me to death every time they yell "faster!" and my dad (who is always driving the boat) turns around with a big sneaky grin. He is all about his grandkids having fun!
 

I love how this 12x12 page turned out. Fun pictures ... fun layout ... fun challenge! Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today!

It's All About Me ... From A - Z

Do you ever scrap about yourself?  Are you ever even in the pictures? or are you the one who's always behind the camera? 

Often times, scrapbookers get so involved in documenting the lives of our kids, and our families, that we forget that someone, someday, might want to know who WE were in 2013!  I might even want to look back and see who I was in 2013 :)  So, check this out...



It's all about you (or your daughter, or friend, or anyone!) -- each page is for a photo and 
journaling about something that starts with that letter of the alphabet that makes you who you are.


What do you like? What do you do? Favorites? Friends names? Family names?

For example, my album goes like this:
A -- Artsy Albums :)
B -- Beach 
C -- Chocolate
D -- Dining out
E -- Evening walks
F -- Family
G -- Georgia
etc.



14 6x8 scrapbook pages + 12 6x8 pockets, each one corresponds to a letter of the alphabet for a total of 26 pages)




Your kit will even come with some idea prompts to get your A-Z creative juices flowing!


This Artsy Albums Kit includes all of the product needed to make this mini album (except tools and adhesive), in addition to step-by-step instructions with color photos of each page. All of the products used in my kits are current or recent release scrapbook supplies by the most popular manufacturers, and always acid and lignin free so these little keepsakes are safe for your photos! 


The kits are pre-cut and packaged by page -- so easy and so fun!

The All About Me mini album kit listed here includes the following:
6x8 album with 24 heavy card stock pages (12 front & back) and two chipboard covers
3 binding rings
Pre-cut pattern paper by My Mind's Eye

Chevron Challenge Scrapbook Page Layout

Hello friends! It's challenge time over at Frosted Designs and I'm excited to share my first design team creation with you!

Chevron patterns are all the rage right now in decor, fashion, advertising ... and of course, crafting!  So, the current challenge over at Frosted Designs is to use chevrons in a project! Here's the page I did using chevrons ... these are my beautiful nieces. I just love these girls! :)




To make this fun chevron pattern, I cut zig zag strips of paper with my electronic cutting machine and then layered some on top of others using pop dots.




And how cute are the brand new papers and embellies from My Mind's Eye, Collectable Notable. Love these colors and I can never get enough chipboard, glazed brads, and journaling notecards!
