Starting a Tradition | Traditional Scrapbook Page

this is a traditional page that i did this week of my dad and reagan at the County Fair. they are "starting a tradition" of riding the Merry-Go-Round each year, they have done it every year since 2009! 
i used the summertime collection from echo park for most of the layout, there is some creative memories and i think dcwv.

 i used the "life is good" & "life is celebration. life is right here and now." from two different Studio AE monthly stamp sets from technique tuesday. and the "snap shot" is from Heyday by Studio calico & hero arts. i LOVE all those stamps! i use them alot when scrapbooking!!

 i used "oh happy day" stamp set for the years and i stamped it in Eggplant elegance ink from Stampin' Up! and i used my big shot to cut out the tabs using this die from Paper Trey Ink. also use that alot when scrapbooking. 
 

 for all the die cuts i use country fair cricut cartridge to cut out different things that reagan loves to get at the fair. I love how overall bright and energetic the page is. it took several sketches to get it to look the way i wanted but patience won in the end because i LOVE this page!!!!

the warriors | traditional scrapbook page

today we have a traditional page, sorry the picture isn't better. i photograph them in my living room on my coffee table because my living room has 3 big windows. on sunny days i dont have problems but today was cloudy. anywho. .  . here is what i did & used
the background 12x12 is from a sport stack it has a messy grid and some grungy black marks on it. the green at the top is from that same stack it has white sports word on it like "player, VIP, ect", i used a black pen and outlined the green just to give it a bit of definition. I matted the photos on some white cardstock and stuck them down then put two strips of black & white polka dot washi tape from the SMASH line of K&Co. i use that tape alot! then i used sports mania cricut cartridge to cut the glove, ball and bats. then i used boys will be boys cartridge to cut his name. (fyi: both cartridges are on sale at Custom Crops thats where i get alot of my cartridges from) i used my SMASH label maker to add "and the warriors" under his name, the label has adhesive on it but i cant get it to stick very well, so i used my tiny attacher to make sure it stays put! :) then i added three little pieces of paper at the top and rounded the corners and outlined them.

Project Life: Week 18

Project Life: Week 17

 Week 17! We had 2 birthday parties this week and it was a busy week at the studio so we weren't home much. Abby allergies started bothering her, but I think she still had a good week! Below is the sketch - I followed it fairly close, just modified it for the date element & a larger jornaling area.

Project Life: Week 16

 This week was crazy busy preparing for Abby's Birthday Party! And my camera was gone for most of the week so I had to use my phone. We made Jelly, played with friends, ate yummy food and met Max! The sketches I used are below from Nuts About Sketches. The top one was the layout and the bottom one was inspiration for paper. I was feeling like I'd done alot of three colors layered up like in the first sketch. I put the yellow piece down and was gonna move it up to the top so only a strip showed, but I liked the way it looked.

Project Life: Week 15

Funky Girl Scrapbook Page

This is a fun page for Reagan's scrapbook. I posted this on facebook and I included the comments from our friends. I think Reagan will get a kick out of this when she gets older! Here is the sketch I used from Nuts About Sketches. I rotated it around since my image is vertical.

Project Life: Week 14

 Here is the layout for week 14 of PL:2012 and the sketch I used from Nuts About Stetches. I'll tell ya a little bit about my thought process on this layout, why I choose this layout and colors. I originally had 10 images to work with and after looking at the images I knew I wanted the one of Abby bigger (since this was her birthday week) and the one of Nanna with the girls in the wagon ( I remember my great-grandma, Granny Shahan pulling us girls around her house in a wagon). So when I seen this layout with the 5x7 on the right page & I thought I could do one picture where the 2- 4x6's are on the left. Plus this layout gave me room for the date and plenty of room for all the ournaling of that week. Once I got about half way through I found 2 more pictures that I HAD to have on here so I wiggled some around to include those.
After I get all the images where I want them, I look at the overall colors, what colors jump out, what color is the most common (around here its pink!). That how I decide what colors to use. Then I add some supporting colors that complement the main colors, in this layout the main colors are pink (lots of pink in the clothes), green (we were outside alot, abby shirt and the wagon) and yellow (abby's shirt). Then I added some blue just for fun.

Sports & School Pages

 Here are some pages that I've done over the past couple weeks. They are traditional pages for a lady I scrapbook for. These are so much fun to do! I use my Cricut alot when I make these, I like being able to make my embellishments whatever size & colors I need to match the pictures.

I scrapbook page I just love!

We all have those scrapbook pages that we just love, am I right? Well this is one of my favorite lately. I love to use Stampin' Up! 12x12 smooth card stock for scrapbook pages! The thickness of the card stock is AWESOME, I used "Tasteful Trim" die with Whisper White Card Stock & also with the football texture paper at the bottom. I thought that little design kinda looked like little footballs lined up. Then I matted the pictures with some black card stock and used an old border punch from Stampin' Up! The background is "Night of Navy" Card Stock from Stampin' Up! I cut the football shape with my Circut using some paper that has a football texture on it. And then just a little finishing touch, I used the Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker to outline the 3/4 of the page. I put the photo strip down with Stampin' Dimensional to give it some added interest. I just <3 this page!!!!
