Let’s Go Now | A Scrapbook Layout

TGIF y’all! Today I have a layout to share with you. It came together super quickly and makes me ridiculously happy!

I started by printing these two photos. I love them both dearly and they share a common theme. In Sadie’s photo she is packed and ready to go to Lake Como. In Cate’s photo she is packed and ready to go to France.

I knew I wanted to use them on a layout about traveling and our adventures.

Here’s what I came up with:

Supplies: Gossamer Blue November main kit, Gossamer Blue November Add On 2, Gossamer Blue November Bits and Pieces, Studio Calico Double Scoop project life kit (gold labels), sequins, doilies, MME tiny word stickers, BasicGrey Micro Monogram stickers, gold foliage from Michael’s, American Crafts thickers

I’m really happy with the layering and clustering I achieved on this page. I tried not to overthink it…but I did move things around a bit more than I normally do..

The gold leaves (from Christmas foliage I got at Michael’s last year) add a nice sparkly touch.

And I added some fun accents (like the vellum postage stamp under the ‘o’ in go).

I have to tell y’all that I’m rather obsessed with Heidi Swapp mixed company ephemera right now.

\

\I have been using these embellishments all over my Project Life and they added the perfect touch to this page.

I love that the embellishments are mixed. Some cardstock, some acrylic, and some vellum. Just right for layering.


I don’t own a die cutting machine (yeah, maybe I’m the last crafter on earth who can say that…and I’m okay with it šŸ™‚ so I really like that I can add fun die cut embellishments with this pack.


Of course I had to throw in some doilies and sequins, too…it’s a compulsion. šŸ™‚

That’s it for today, just a fun creative share. Hope you enjoyed and can find some inspiration from it this Friday!

  3. I don’t own a die cutting machine either! I made a banner using my nieces cricuit. I made a tree for our local hospital to auction for nursing scholarships, I am a member at our local American Legion club and volunteered to do the tree. It is red, white and blue with ball, star and bell ornaments and with toy military guys and their vehicles attached to the tree. The banner reads “we support our troops”. Thought you might like hearing that since your husband is one of our heroes! But so are you and your girls for being such a loving family and following him where ever he is stationed!

  5. Love it Steph! I adore everything that Heidi makes lol she’s awesome =)
    xo
    p.s. i have the original cricut that i’ve had for yearrrrsss lol I have no plans on getting anything newer šŸ˜‰

  6. You are ,for sure, not the last person to not own a machine!!!! I have been scrapping for over ten years and don’t own one of any type and to be honest ,I have no desire to own one either. I am so glad that you are back scrapping again. I knew there would be a turn around at some point and you finally were able to get past the road block. šŸ™‚ I am enjoying your posts from Italy. What a wonderful experience for all of you!!!

  7. Such a pretty page. Love those cute photos too. I got to spend a day with Heidi Swapp and Kim Jeffress last weekend making pretty stuff and using that ephemera – love, love, love it!
