Curated craft freebies and tutorials
How are you doing? I think the pandemic has finally caught up to me and I have been doing not much of anything this month. In the spring is was a new normal and now it’s just old. I have slowed way down on blog posts, I scrapped a whole two layouts since we last […]
I love monthly “faves” scrapbook layouts but think I’ve only done one other…all my faves seem to blend from month to month. July had a few highlights (obsessions) so I gave it a shot. If you like the layout, there’s a freebie digital template at the end of the post. The title was created using […]
Since posting earlier this week about Cathy Zielske’s shop opening, I’ve been plugging away creating new layouts. I’ve been motivated by a new list of stories I jotted down and Cathy’s super clean templates and stamps that make it easy to plug in my story, my way. This layout is a great example of taking […]
This month’s Simple Scrapper story starters are about my favorite subject, FOOD! This layout is about one of our dinner staples, macaroni and cheese, plus it includes the recipe I use…which is, of course, from my mom. Kit: Boys and Their Toys by Wishing Well Creations Template: Simple Scrapper #117 April’s Simple Scrapper templates are […]
One of my scrap crushes is Cathy Zielske. Her style is very graphic-designer with clean type and lined-up-everything but there’s also some room for play. She also got into card making at the exact same moment as I did (close enough) so I’m sure we would be fast friends in real life. Here is a […]
Here are two new layouts I made for Simple Scrapper. They are featured in the March issue of SPARK member magazine. I love the Simple Scrapper story starters…sometimes I need an inspiration nudge. This month’s ‘starters’ were all about favorites and I chose to put all my faves from January (because I work a couple […]
Here I have two layouts that were featured in the September 2017 issue of SPARK magazine. SPARK is part of the Simple Scrapper membership. The templates were inspired by the playful layouts of Adrienne Alvis. Check out her Instagram for more inspiration. – – – – – – – – – – – – – – […]
Happy August 1st! Here I have two layouts that I did that were featured in the July issue of SPARK magazine. SPARK is part of the Simple Scrapper membership but you can get a free issue here.) This layout tells the story of using video chat to talk to my kids while they are with […]
I have two new layouts to share. Both will be in the June issue of the Simple Scrapper member magazine, SPARK. (You can download a free issue here!) I was looking though my photos and found two that looked similar and that happened to be taken in the same month…only 8 years apart. I realized […]
If you follow my Instagram account you may have seen all these layouts before. But I wanted to share them again because they are featured this month in the Simple Scrapper member magazine, Spark. I was so honored when Jennifer Wilson asked if they could use the layouts as inspiration for the templates/sketches exclusive to Simple […]
I’m a big fan of Digital Design Essentials kits so when Gena started a new blog devoted to challenges, I jumped in. To play along, you simply subscribe to her email newsletter (no longer available), download and use the free templates she sends out, and post your completed layout. Here is my layout using one […]
(This post contains affiliate links for Simple Scrapper – We help scrapbookers focus on what matters most.) This week I am participating in the Simple Scrapper “Start Fresh” event. The event itself is short but the preparation it brings should carry me through the year. This class was kinda meant for me as I get […]
The other day I was reading a new post on the Scotty Girl Designs blog and was really moved by her willingness to talk about her struggles with depression. I’m not sure if it was sympathy, admiration or a connection but I was drawn to creating a page using her kits. I suppose the melancholy […]
Anita from Anita Designs came out with a gorgeous kit last week. I quickly found this baby photo of my youngest son and started to use the kit along with a template from Scotty Girl Designs to make this page. I didn’t have a story to tell, just wanted to play! And, well, that baby […]
I have done more scrapping this month then my entire scrap “career”. I think it’s been all the inspiration over at The Digital Press where I help with their Facebook and Pinterest pages. I’m very grateful this year to have been able to work for them and also for Simple Scrapper. I have often been overwhelmed with […]
I am very, very slowly catching up with this year’s Project Life album. Very slowly. This is week #34 which was back in August. KIT: Cloudy With A Chance of Happiness collab by Amanda Yi and Cornelia Designs
