I can’t even tell you how good it felt to make this page yesterday.
I didn’t have a functioning printer…and although I have an order in to Persnickety Prints, I just couldn’t wait. I wanted to make something right away. So badly- that in fact I ended up buying a brand new printer.
I know. A little bit over the top. But I figured that after not really making anything for a year, if there was an occasion to buy a new printer- this was it.
And yes- it was ridiculously hot in my craft room. But I didn’t even care. Actually…all four chickies were so excited I was in the room, they came in too and scrapbooked. It was really fun.
And good for the soul!
It’s funny. I’m so out of the loop these days, I have no idea what is “in”. Thank goodness for my Gossamer Blue kits, I pulled all of these pieces from past kits that I had in my stash.
I notice that even after a year away from creativity, this page is still 100 percent me. My pages have always looked the same, no matter the current trends. Sometimes I wish I could adapt, but truth is- I don’t really need to! It works, and I stick with it.
Here’s what I came up with:
And a closeup:
I’ll share the supply links below. Like I said, most of these things are from Gossamer Blue kits that are now sold out. So I’ll link the items individually.
And of course, I added some “Stephanie staples”. Doilies, Martha Stewart doily die cuts, and TwoGirlzStuff labels.
The more things change, the more they stay the same…and all that. Haha!
As per usual- no tutorial or any steps to make. My layouts aren’t hard, they don’t use techniques, they are just fun and easy. And quick.
It feels REALLY good to share something creative today. Hope you enjoyed stopping by!
Supplies // Seven Paper Gold Puffy Stickers, Crate Paper Confetti Tiny Word/Phrase stickers, Maggie Holmes acetate letters , Crate Paper tags, Maggie Holmes floral ephemera (gold leaves), Dear Lizzy washi tape sticker book, Twogirlzstuff labels, doilies from stash, Martha Stewart doily tags
Lovely — as usual! So glad the girls were creating with you!
Yay!!! So excited for you!!! Gorgeous as always!
Cute page! I haven’t scrapbooked in 8 yrs. I am embarrassed to say! I loved to scrapbook when the kids were little. I still buy supplies though. What printer did you get?
love it! Glad you got scrappy!!
this is gorgeous steph. and my twogirlz stash is dangerously close to being gone. wishing she’d do a quick “pop-up shop” as they are the best ever!
Perfection! I love that you stay true to your self! You don’t need to change a thing!
Love to see you scrapping! I just made a page after a several month hiatus and it felt so good, like order was restored to the world and balance was back.
LOVE THIS! This is the best!
Yay! I love it! So cute that all the girls joined you as well. 🙂
So excited that you scrapped which is what led me to you when you just had Harper (I think). Love your style. You made me want to scrap!
It’s lovely, you don’t need to follow any trends you’ve got your own amazing style :).
Love it! you go mama!!
I miss seeing your work…..love this! Sadie and Harper are beautiful! Yo must be one proud mama!
Gorgeous! So glad you made and shared the page – the girls are so cute! Trends don’t matter just having fun is what counts.
Hooray! So happy for you and glad you shared your happy page. I haven’t scrapbooked in three months since we began the moving process. Who knows, maybe today is the day 🙂
Beautiful and yes, you are right, WOW! Glad you did something for your soul…..
Yay, a Stephanie layout!!! Always loved your style 🙂
Good for you!! You’ve still got “it”!!!!
We have missed your pages…& scrapping cos you want too….how scrapbooking should be!!!!!
And it is a good one!
Always love reading your posts and seeing your pretty creations! I was wondering if you had heard of the Project Life app? It was created by Becky Higgins and it allows u to scrapbook on your phone. U can print out the pages or just use it as a guide to do your own pages later on. Thought it might interest u since it’s more difficult for u to paper scrapbook of late.
Yay, go Steph! It’s so you and that’s perfect! I so wish I had a scrappin style, so own it girlie!!
I’m so excited you are “feeling it” again. Your photos and journaling are always so beautiful! Your style is so perfect for your stories and I love that you are sharing them here with us again. Bonus to have the girls with you. My 2 girls have both said that crafting with me makes their hearts happy and while we’re documenting stories we get to make more memories. It just doesn’t get any better then that.
