Celebrating crafts, kids and the everyday through photographs.
I’ve made a bunch of layouts with my kit and I’m loving the quick scrapping.
This was my warm up layout. Do you do this? Usually they end up being my least favorite. I had a super crazy bad warm up layout after a few months off of scrapping. It was so hilarious. I sent a picture of it to my scrappy friends and they got a good laugh. I don’t fret too much though, I still stick it in the scrapbooks. This is not really that bad, I just feel like it needs something, ideas?
I decided just to leave the pictures of my layouts with the counter top in the background. Way easier than trying to get it straight on, is it distracting? If so I’ll have to come up with some better way to take photos of them (I hate scanning and stitching). Anyway super simple layout, but I am loving the simple.
Wonky photo-merge but you get the idea. A two page layout, what?
One of my all time favorite brads. I love brads so much.
A mushy layout about Bj. I was testing all my old ink pads and saved the paper (I’m trying out new neutral colors of cardstock, this one is a recycled type with little flecks, I like it).
This was in January, can you believe it? Time flies…
When Nora came to visit we went to Cooke Stationary and I got a box of these lick and stick notarial seals for fifty cents. Every time I go there I wonder where they get these crazy old supplies. Love them. I also love my new bubble boarder punch… a lot.
Last summer, the little baldy.
Went to the blog for journaling. Hey blog, you are so handy.
Any my last layout, my favorite so far. I had totally forgotten about this crazy weird face she was making for a while!
Sarah got me this awesome tape that I have lusting after for my birthday. A perfect touch for this simple layout.
So I posted them in the order I scrapped them. I find it interesting to see how I move through my pictures/stories and supplies. Because I am not using a ton of patterned paper right now I have lots more goodies to work with in the kit. So I’m going to use it for a bit longer. I’ll let you know if I come up with anything else blogworthy. -

At my birthday party a few of us were talking about the dorm I was in my sophomore year. It was a cool old dorm with huge bathrooms that had separate toilet/sink & locker/shower & bath rooms. In the main area of the bathroom, the sink & locker area my friend and I started a wall of hotness. I made a layout from some of the guys I kept:
Journaling “I do not think these really hot guys need much of an explanation, but I will humor my future generations, besides what if I have all boys? My sophomore year the girls in my hall decided to deck out our bathroom. Anyone could put up a new picture, bu tthe ones on the door required consensus. It constantly evolved and in June we all took home our favorites.”
I made this years ago but had to scan it in for you Erin and Carmen! Mmm door worthy guys. 🙂 I love the pictures of the bathroom. It reminds me of my friend Ceara’s bedroom in high school, though she had a bit more George Clooney in there 🙂
In other scrap related news I decided to go through my stuff and make myself a kit. I have been oohing and ahhing over Studio Calico’s site for some time now, but I have too much stuff already so I though making a kit of my own things would be best. Here is what I came up with (with some editing from Sciarrino):
Some yummy goodies. I’ve already made five layouts with it, crazy! They are pretty simple, but I love them just the same. I’ll share a few tomorrow. For now I’ll leave you with one NOT made with the kit:
An older picture of Tutu napping with journaling about what it takes to get her down for the night. Sweet little baby.
