She Likes Layout

I will be teaching a scrapbook workshop for Lexi's Brownie Troop and made this cute layout using the Laughing Lola papers from Close to My Heart. This layout is about what "She Likes."  I will have all the papers cut and the girls will do the assembly. The pieces of patterned paper are cut down to 11 inches and are attached to a 12x12 piece of black cardstock to form a border and give a nice contrast to the paper.  I needed to keep the cost down since I will be donating the supplies, so I chose inexpensive embellishments. Sequins are becoming popular in scrapbooking, so I bought a few packs at Joann's as well as a couple of packs of the little paperclip embellishments at 50% off. I will stamp the title and have the girls fill in the little strips of paper telling what they like. I am going to let Lexi help me teach the class and she is so excited about that.

A Day with Uncle Ryan Layout

I am taking a class from Stacy Julian and Jennifer Wilson at Big Picture Classes called The Art + Science of Scrapbooking. My first assignment was to go through my pictures and rate them and choose a photo to tell a story about. I have been wanting to scrapbook this picture and tell the story, but just haven't done it. Lexi and Brooke love their Uncle Ryan and it's obvious that he loves them too. One day they went on a walk and Lexi found this field of clovers and threw herself into them and, of course, Brooke joined in. The paper that I chose is called Neapolitan from American Crafts.
