Who is Scrapbooking in 2023?

I am finally making my favorite hobby a priority again!  What are you currently scrapbooking?  Are you making cards as well? Leave me a comment! 👇👇👇

Let's Scrap 12-15-15 Sketch

Here is the original sketch from Let's Scrap, and I have to say I was super excited to use 8 photos! 

I also enjoyed the challenge of the symmetry of both pages!

 
 
 

Here is my left page.

And here is my right page! 

This was a great sketch to be able to incorporate several patterned papers without making my photos disappear, and I hope it inspires you!



Happy New Year!

Scrapbook Challenges Sketch #462

I'm working with another super helpful sketch from Scrapbook Challenges this week that features 4 square photos!  Head on over to their blog!   They have several challenges every month, not just sketches!

Here is my layout, featuring more photos from my niece's 3 birthday at a children's museum!

Have a Merry Christmas!

Scrapbook Challenges Sketch 461

This week I worked with Sketch 461 from Scrapbook Challenges, and I have to say that I love it!  Because I have so many photos to scrap from my 3 boys and 1 daughter-in-law, I have had to make a promise to myself to use no less than 3 photos each page!  This sketch with 4 photos and everything placed so symmetrically was right up my alley! 

 

Be sure to visit Scrapbook Challenges and try your hand at a sketch or two! 

 

Merry Christmas!

Here is the featured sketch!   Hope on over to the blog and play along!

 

Here is the inspiration sketch, and I followed it very closely.  My favorite elements are the paper strips, large title, and tiny banner!

Let's Get Sketchy & Picture This One Word Blog Hop Challenge

Here is my 2 page layout of my sweet boy, Ezra that I created for the One Word Blog Hop Challenge from Let's Get Sketchy & Picture This.    The instructions were to create any type of project that centered on only ONE word from the following list: 

Love

Thanks

Teach

You

Grateful

Friend

Baby

Me

You

Smile

Encourage

Faithful

Enjoy

Believe

Dream  ******     I chose this one!

Favorite

Wonderful

Hope

"Dream" was the obvious choice for my layout, as my youngest son is a dream come true, and answer to many, many prayers!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



The Blog Hop started here on day 1 and continued on day 2 with Picture This!

Let's Get Sketchy November Wk 5 Scrap Lift Challenge

The current challenge at Let's Get Sketchy celebrates that November has 5 weeks this year, and celebrates the previous work of their talented team members! 

 

The challenge instructs  us to choose from the featured layouts and scraplift it with our own new layout!  Here is the layout that caught my eye:

 



 

And here is my layout based on Sayaka's beautiful work!

I really liked that she included 3 photos that made a nice square focal point, and so I decided to use 4 square photos!
  I mimicked her soft, layered background papers, and adhered my embellishments in similar locations!

 

Check out the Let's Get Sketchy blog for great inspiration and challenges!
