Joining in on Amanda’s this moment project. A moment from the last week. A slice of life.

Celebrating crafts, kids and the everyday through photographs.
I know, it’s all about scrapbooking this week. Since I had all my supplies out from being toted to Portland I just kept on scrapping. I won’t be scrapping tonight though because it’s my 4th anniversary! Can’t believe how time flies. Just look at this munchkin.
This one wasn’t coming together as a 12×12 so I chopped it down. I love how Lisa Truesdell uses paper along the edges of her layouts so I thought I’d give it a try. She makes it look easy, I kept messing around with placement and papers. It was fun to try though and I like the result.
I hadn’t planned to stitch on this one, but a mini scrapper I know was pretty insistent, so I went with it. I save blunt needles in an old machine needle case so I have them for paper projects when ever I need them. Try not to use the same needle for fabric and paper, it will dull them very quickly.
I copied this pattern paper strip idea from Sarah (and she said she copied it from someone else).I need to go back and re stamp the date on that tab sticker, I didn’t use a permanent ink and it came right off. Tuesday sewed the lines on the top and bottom of the page, with a little help of course.
The funny thing is the reason I was sold on that feature of the machine (using buttons to start/stop vs. the presser foot) was because the saleslady told me it would be a good way to sew with out little kids interfering. Hahahah!!!
Now I guess none of my supplies are safe from tiny hands! -

I’m actually surprised how much scrapbooking Sarah and I got done on our little adventure. I think not having a lot of supplies to dig through makes things go quicker, at least it does for me. If only I could remember this when I’m staring at a cute new patterned paper. You saw my “warm up layout” yesterday, so here are a few more.
As I mentioned my mom made us little packs of ribbon and that was great inspiration for me.
This is actually trim and I love using trim. The edges are always so neat and I think it lends itself to scrapbook pages.
I’m down with using these calendar pages for whatever. The shape and stitching is great.
Once again I was enticed by some of the new ribbon (I’m pretty sure this is exclusive to next month’s jar so make sure you’re signed up for the Ribbon Jar newsletter to get a heads up about it). And those metal brads that Sarah got me, I love them! I have a whole post coming up on brads (per request)!
This page was made on a base that Sarah and I did a while ago. We pre-made a bunch of these sewn scalloped pages. I love using them now because it makes a really easy layout look like lots of work!
And more ribbon (and brads and flowers). One thing I love about non-sequential scrapping is that if you are on a certain kick those layouts will be spread among several albums (from the top these will go in Things We Do, People We Love: Friends, People We Love: Family). I could do the layouts all the same if I wanted to, but I like designing and playing with all of the fun supplies. So does Tuesday. I did get a video of her helping me sew on a page and I’ll try to post it tomorrow.
