Scrapbook Club Layout #4

Here is the final layout for the "I Wish" SSK. This layout uses: 1 vertical 4x6, 1 horizontal 4x6, 3-3x3 photos, and 2-4x3 photos. This layout showcases 7 of our Christmas holiday traditions and uses the two sets of tiny square stickers to number both the photos and journaling. I'm not thrilled with the look of my title, but I am "embracing its imperfection."

Inspiration Saturday

I opened the new Target catalog this morning to find this little bit of inspiration:

A scrapbook layout just waiting to be created, right down to all those happy little colors: Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Summer Sun, Green Galore, Tempting Turquoise, Orchid Opulence. This is going straight into my Inspiration Notebook so I'll have it handy for my next layout--I'm thinking a birthday or carnival one.

The inspiration didn't stop there. I thumbed through the rest of the catalog to find these yummies:

1) Another great color scheme, and love those birdies!

2) Cutting this right out for a page title or accent for Easter 2007 layout (lucky for me I haven't done it yet!). A squirt of deacidification spray and it's good to go.

3) Another great color mix and how cute are those little monster guys?! Can you say paper piecing!

4) And lastly, another great layout plan.

I will be sure to post the projects that come out of this deliciousness.

Scrapbook Club Layout #3

For my Scrapbook Clubbers, here is the first of this month's 2 layouts for our meeting on the 16th. We will be using the "I Wish" Simply Scrappin' Kit again.

This layout uses 4-4x6 photos. Two with a horizontal orientation, and two oriented vertically. The borders were inspired by a layout by Ali Edwards. I will post the second layout asap.

Color Challenge: Take Two

Creativity has taken hold (and my boys are quietly engaged with their lunch and Noggin), so I was able to whip up another card using Kristina's color inspiration.

Seems as though birds, paper piercing and pom-pom fringe are themes for the day. I had to run to the craft store this morning to pick up the fun fringe (in several colors) after seeing this last night.

Color Challenge

Here is my card for this week's Color Challenge from Kristina Werner. These colors scream femininity. I did a bit of paper piecing and piercing on this one--very fun. My inspiration for the tree came from the Trendy Trees stamp set from Stampin' Up! and this from Kelli Crowe.
