Shine On Layout

Could not go up to Portland Maine without visiting Portland Head Lighthouse! It was a beautiful day so checking out the lighthouse and wandering the trails around it was a lot of fun! I used some more of the Lake Life Collection along with some Mix-Ins for this layout.

The inspiration for this layout came from this sketch from Close To My Heart. 

I converted the sketch from 12" x 12" to 8 1/2" x 11".  I also changed this from a 2-page sketch into a 1-page layout by working with the left-hand side of the sketch. I added an additional photo along with some punched hexagons for more visual interest. The title and lighthouse were both cut using my Cricut.

Old Port Layout

Another layout from our long weekend up in Portland Maine. Loved being able to wander around the Old Port area checking out the shops and restaurants.  I am continuing to use the Lake Life collection for the layouts from this weekend.

The inspiration for this layout came from this sketch from Close To My Heart. 

I converted the sketch from 12" x 12" to 8 1/2" x 11". I also converted this from a 1-page layout to a 2-page layout to work with the additional pictures I had. I added some of the Mix-In papers that coordinate with the Lake Life collection for this layout. The title was die cut using a set from my stash. The chevrons came from a punch in my stash along with the embellishments.

Wine & Dine Layout

Had fun creating this layout during Monday's Scrapbook with me event. I have so many random pictures from various dinners out that I wanted to scrapbook and this layout worked perfect for this. 

The inspiration for this layout came from this sketch from Scrapbooks & Cards Today. You can see this sketch along with others here.

I converted this sketch from 12" x 12" to 8 1/2" x 11" to keep with the other layouts in our family album. I modified the photo sizes as well to work with the new layout size. I also only used the right-hand side of this sketch to make it a 1-page layout from a 2-page sketch. The title uses some letter stickers from my stash and the embellishments are buttons from my stash tied with some embroidery floss. I added the circle designs using a white gel pen.

Project Time Layout

Another layout from a recent Scrapbook with me event. This layout features papers from the April/May/June Mix-In paper pack along with the coordinating cardstock. It was fun to create this layout to document the hard work my husband has been doing to clean out and organize our garage.

The inspiration for this layout comes from this sketch from Page Maps. You can see this sketch along with others here.

I rotated the sketch 90 degrees to the right and then converted it to 8 1/2" x 11" from 12" x 12". I used 2 patterns from the Mix-In paper pack and added some washi tape, enamel dots and acrylic shapes from my stash to embellish. The title was stamped using the Daisy Alphabet stamp set and Intense Black Ink.

March 2023 Monthly Recap Layout

Another layout in my series of Monthly Recap layouts. This one is from March of this year. I used up some of my April/May/June Mix-In papers for this layout. I love how this sketch worked and can see using it again for other layouts as it fits for many different themes.

The inspiration for this sketch comes from this sketch from Even More Scrappin. You can see this sketch along with others here.

I changed the layout to 8 1/2" x 11" from 12" x 12" and added some stamped images from a set in my stash. I colored in the flowers using ink and a water brush. The tags were die cut using the Tags & Tabs Thin Cuts set.

Thank My Lucky Stars Layout

I cannot believe it but my oldest daughter is now 25 years old! We had fun celebrating her birthday recently and I could not wait to scrapbook the occasion. I pulled out some scraps from the January - March Mix-In paper pack along with some embellishments from my stash for this.

The inspiration for this layout came from this sketch from Scrapbook & Cards Today. You can see this sketch along with other sketches as well as how you can modify the sketch on their blog here.

I converted this from 12" x 12" to 8 1/2" x 11" to work with my current album format. I changed the strip size from 1" tall to 3/4" tall. The title block came from a pocket scrapbooking card and I added some flowers and twine from my stash to finish the layout.

Cheers! Layout

Last layout from the New York City trip I did with Meghan last summer. For our last dinner in NYC we went to a Korean barbeque restaurant we had been to before with Mike and Nicole as Meghan wanted to go there again. It was a lot of fun cooking at the table and we also got some Yuzu Sake to drink. We had a fun time on this trip and I cannot wait to go to New York again with Meghan.

The inspiration for this layout came from this sketch from Page Maps. You can see this sketch along with others here.

I changed the sketch to fit with the 8 1/2" x 11" format for the album I am working on as well as cut down the number of patterned paper strips on the page. The title was die cut using the Simple Serif Uppercase Thin Cuts set and the embellishments came from my stash.
