I love it when I get on a scrapbooking roll and have all my favorite things out… I don’t want to stop. Yesterday I didn’t know what to start scrapping and then I remembered, hey I have these pictures from Sarah, because we swapped photos!
(I kept calling her cat Winston, that’s how I came up with the title). I used grandpa’s typewriter, because it’s cursive, how cool is that? I also borrowed this donut punch one time and made myself a whole bunch of strips to have on hand… you’ll see that came in handy.
Gah! Look how fast they grow!
I decided to plop little embelishments all over the page. I see this look around everywhere and I love it, so fun.
Heheheh, I was sort of at a loss as to how to scrap these pictures. I was going to go with the, “you’ll be best friends thing” but I think I’ll have lots of sweet pictures of them later, this series from when we visited Carmen and her family last year are just so funny! I love how babies explore their world!
Then today I got lots of simple cards made. I needed to fill up my birthday and sympathy tabs in my card organizer.
This is a super simple design. You can make a ton of them from one sheet of patterned paper, or use a 6×6 pad, like I did (basic grey sultry line). The main piece is 3×6 inches. Glue that down. Then take a little scrap of paper, and embellishment (punched heart, star, or even a flower) and attach a saying (I typed out a bunch and hand cut them) with a brad or staples (I used the tiny attacherโI’m addicted). After the embellishment part is done stick it down (this way the back of the brads/staples will be covered up).
If you make some let me know!
Love it all but really need to say that the cursive typewriter is totally cool. I didn’t know there was such a thing.
AHHHHH! it’s not winston! i lovelovelove this layout! so fun amber, thank you! i have your photos on my table… hopefully i can get to them before the weekend ๐ YAY! and that cursive typewriter is so cool…what a perfect layout, LOVE IT!
the other layouts are adorable too! i love the “tuesday be nice” title – hilarious! and the ‘one year’ layout is awesome too – i’ve been noticing the embellishments all over pages recently too, love it!
thanks again! this totally made my day!
i just had to come back and visit my page ๐
I know, when I asked him why he got cursive he said, “I liked it.” hehehe
I’m so glad you like it. I have a moement when I thought you might want to double check the journaling, but I figured I could switch it out… then I sewed it down. ๐ And it looks better in real life (like the all do always, right?).
Great scrapbooking! I really love the One Year Later page…so neat to see the change like that. Time flies indeed! I hope you do some more of the 1 year later pages over the months and years ahead. ๐
I forgot how funny the girls were together at that age! I remember Chloe pretty much just sat there (I don’t think she was really mobile at all) which left Tuesday free to do anything se wanted- and she took full advantage. Oh how the tables have turned.
