Getting caught up on artwork posts.

I have come across a ton of artwork that I have not posted yet but the papers are retired.  Some of these are layouts that I have done a long time ago and some are more recent when I went digging in my stash of papers to use some of it up.  Anyhow, I am going to post a bunch of it in the next few weeks.  Some have products listed and some do not.  I hope you enjoy it anyways.

Scrapbooking Using 4x6 Photos

This was another of my quick layouts. One thing that makes this layout quick is that I used all 4x6 photos. I didn’t have to dig through my digital photos on my computer, then Photoshop them to the correct size and print on my printer. Sometimes that makes scrapbooking more work that I want to put into it on certain days. So I get some of my best photos printed at either Don’s Photo or Blacks Photo in 4x6 size to have to scrapbook quickly. I am always on the lookout for layout sketches too that incorporate 4x6 photos so I can do some quick layouts. I hope you like this one.

Quick and Easy Layouts

These are very simple pages to do. The sketch is from the Magic book…magician’s choice. It uses very little patterned paper so leftovers from some other pages would do. Throw in a couple of cardstock and you have your layout!

It has been a while...

I used to play a lot of Bingo a few years ago. It was sort of a family tradition in our family. So when the Lucky Papers came out I was really excited! They would go perfect with my Bingo photos. I really like the Lucky Level 2 Assortment Chipboard Accents. They are lightweight, thick chipboard with a shiny finish.

Again, Close To My Heart has a winner here with these coordinating accents.

A Blast from the Past!

 Wow, these are some really old pictures. These sometimes aren’t the “prettiest” pictures to scrapbook as they were odd sized and grainy but they sure do tell stories.

We are making this layout for the March Scrapbook Class on March 11th at 7pm.  Please let me know by March 8th if you plan to attend.  Space is limited and sometimes fills up fast. 


One of the products I am going to highlight today is the Versamat. It really has so many uses. One thing I did today was to line up my stamps in the curve formation before I stamped it. I set the curved cardstock onto my mat, and then I placed the letters face down around the curve and adjusted them to where I wanted them using the square grid as a guide. Then I took my block, pressed it down onto my stamps and picked them up off of the Versamat.

Next, I laid out all the pieces of my layout, without gluing them down yet, just in case there is a mistake when stamping. (Yes, I still make some mistakes) then inked up the title stamps and stamped onto my layout. Then I glued everything down.

In case you are wondering…you can find the Versamat on my website here.
