preserving those treasured moments
Wanted to share another layout from the custom album that I recently finished. There were so many pictures to showcase, so I needed some help with layout ideas. Where do I go for ideas? Pinterest!! I really enjoy Pinterest. I have so many layout ideas pinned there, that I can open it up and quickly scan for ideas. It has become my go to source for inspiration! If you have not delved … [Read more...]
Old black and white vintage photos are one of my favourite types of photos to work with when scrapbooking. You can add colour to your page that will enhance your black and white photos. The challenge for me in this scrapbook, was to stick to the colour tone that the client chose. We carried similar tones through the whole album, but I love the colours that she chose. The work so well with … [Read more...]
I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada. We have had some amazing weather here and it was great to take advantage of it on this long weekend. But, the fun has to end and it's back to work! Here is another layout from the golf album I did recently. This is from Amen Corner at Augusta, a famous section of the course. The client had taken a picture of a famous … [Read more...]
More from the Masters! I really had a great time working on this album for my client. I have golfed, albeit not well, but I have played in the past and do have my own clubs (does it matter that they are currently in the garage being used as a rack for my hubby's hockey equipment), I can only sit in awe of the professionals that this couple were able to go and see play in Augusta, … [Read more...]
The client I completed the Masters Golf album for, asked me to do a cover page with a picture of Magnolia Lane, as she felt this was a great way to start off their album. As I have never been to the Masters Tournament in Augusta, Georgia, and I did not understand the magnificence of this lane. It is absolutely stunning. Here is a little history on Magnolia Lane. The main drive leading … [Read more...]
Creating albums for other people has provided me with so much joy! I love knowing that a client has received so much pleasure from the album that I have put together for them. This album was so a pleasure to work on, as it was for a very good friend and her hubby. I received a lovely note from her about how her and her hubby sat down and went through the album together and reminisced about … [Read more...]
I have really enjoyed completing this Masters Album for a client. This album was created in an 8 1/2 x 11 " format. Not my typical scrapbooking style, but it was fun to scale down my sketches to fit on this format. The client has still not seen the album yet, but she has seen this layout. All of the circles were cut at varying sizes on the Cricut, to create some dimension and depth to … [Read more...]
This paper pack was one of my favourites. Close to My Heart had this as a special one month, “You & Me” and I loved the colours. I loved it so much, I bought quite a few packs of it for future use. I used it for this layout that I did for a client. The browns and pinks blend so well together and create a nice warm layout. The banner was cut with my Cricut and the dimensional … [Read more...]
Recently, I worked on an album for a client, for their 2 year old daughter. I really enjoyed working with their pictures and seeing the stories of her life unfold. The father is an amazing amateur photographer, so some of his pictures were stunning and a dream to work with. This is a very active family, who have taken their little girl everywhere. She has seen some amazing places and been … [Read more...]
One of the ways I like to scrapbook is by using sketches. Sketches really help you when you are having a hard time putting a layout together. I use the Close to My Heart books a lot, as well as I have kept sketches from magazines and books that I have amassed over the years. This layout was done using a layout from Creating Keepsakes magazine. I loved the simplicity of it and I thought it … [Read more...]
Why Scrapbooking? I was introduced to scrapbooking about 6 years ago, but didn’t really start delving into until 2006, almost 2 years later. My Mum was diagnosed with cancer and as a family, my brothers and our spouses decided that we were going to create a memories album for her, showcasing … [Read More...]
