2016 Week 12: Spring Break, Friends and a Birthday!

Weekly Life Templates 3 by Scrapping with Liz
Memory Pockets Monthly - Q & A (kit and add-ons) available at the Lilypad
Week 12 was all about taking a break from the normal routine. The first part of the week we didn't do a whole lot. We hiked with friends, had a sleepover with cousins and friends, served a goodbye lunch to a sweet friend and then on Thursday and Friday we took a little mini-vacay to Dollywood, and on Saturday we celebrated Matthew's 7th birthday. It was a nice change from our normal routine.

I'm lovin' the neutrals with the pops of blue, pink and yellow in this month's Memory Pockets Monthly kit and add-ons. It works well with my weekly photos.

While this week was fun, I'm ready to get back to a normal routine. How about you? Have you taken your spring break yet?

Monday's Highlight: Littly Fishy by Yobeth

Template Revisited 45 by Scrapping with Liz
A Creative Spring by Kimeric Kreations
This page popped out to me in the gallery because of all the beautiful oranges. I think the different orange strips contrast great with the blue of the pool water. It made this page pop out to me. The white title really draws your eye to the photos. It's a great use of color all around. Yobeth did a great job!

I'll be starting a new April Album in my SwL Facebook group later this week (can you believe it's almost April?). Be sure to post any pages you make with an SwL Template there, you could be highlighted on the blog and win $$$ to my store!

March 2017 Calendar Topper

2017 March Templates by Scrapping with Liz
Memory Pockets Monthly - Q & A (kit and add-ons) available at the LilypadStoryteller Reed Alpha by Just Jamie
I've finished my 3rd page for my 2017 Gift Calendar album. Each month during 2016 I'm scrapping a calendar page, and by the end of the year I'll have a whole calendar to print. I did this project last year, and I loved the finished project. I'm also releasing coordinating calendar templates each month too!

I was asked by a customer to make more photo spots for future calendar toppers, and I plan on doing that, especially since one of my kids asked me why I didn't have enough photo spots for her! Oops! Next month I promise to have the option of more photo spots.

2016 Week 11: It's all about the Tetherball

Weekly Life Templates 3 by Scrapping with Liz

Apparently I like the tiny polka dot background. I used it last week, and I didn't even realize it until I went to do this blog post! I guess it's a great neutral....actually, my whole page is kind of neutral this week. That's okay, because I like it. But I'll try not to use it next week!

Enough about that. This week was all about the Tetherball. Seriously, almost all of my pictures I took this week were of the kids playing tetherball...or Shawn and I playing. I guess it's because it's a new toy in our yard, and it's been super nice outside, again. I did find a few photos that show some other highlights. Other than the Tetherball, a trip to the Power Plant, some science experiments with daddy, and a sick little girl we had a pretty normal week.

Monday's Highlight: Apple Trees by Christie

2016 Spring Challenge Template
Bugging Out by Kristin Aagard
Font: DJB See Spot Run & DJB This Is Me
When I saw this page by Christie the photos just popped out at me. Maybe it's because my favorite color is green. Do you know why my favorite color is green? Spring time. Seeing the green pop up after a cold winter reminds me of warmth, new life and hope. I love how she focused on the photos. I think the brown papers help the green pop out and that yellow string, tape ad snail bring a little extra color to the page. Simple pages can be beautiful pages too.

Amanda's ABC Album: Finished and Printed


Amanda made this gorgeous ABC Thankfulness album. I wanted to share it with you all because I thought it was a quick and easy way to simply be reminded of all the thing we have to be thankful for.

She used my Alphabet Journal Card Templates and InstaLife Journal Cards. The InstaLife Journal Cards are no longer available, but I think you could make do with just the Alphabet Journal Card Templates. She also used Urban Fusion by Amy Wolff, the Clock by Etc. by Danyale ~ New Year and the fonts are Josefin Slab and Debby.

She printed a 4x6 flip book from Wal-mart with full bleed printing. She did say some of her text got to close to the edge. So if you make this book make sure you account for that. It only cost her $10!


This is her cover page.


 For Wal-mart I think it looks great.


She says it's so fun and easy to flip through.



I hope this inspires you! I'm definitely adding this to my 'to do' list.

2016 Week 10 and Facebook Cover Page

Weekly Life Templates 3 by Scrapping with Liz
Memory Pockets Monthly - Q & A (kit and add-ons) available at the Lilypad
The weather was gorgeous this week so we spent most of our time outside. We went on two hikes, went bike riding and played outside A LOT! We still did school work, cooking, laundry, cleaning, etc... but when I look back on this page I'll know that it was the first warm week of the year and we totally enjoyed ever single bit of it!

50% Off One Day Only - 3 Template Sets!

Today I have three older products in the Something Old Something New sale. Enjoy the 50% discount on these products today only: Wednesday, March 16, 2016.

Simple and Sweet Album Templates 1 is an old favorite. They work as a coordinated album, or as a stash of go-do designs that you will return to many times. With the 50% discount, you are getting these designs at 50 cents per template!


Photo Mat Full Templates is another old favorite. These actually evolved from a set of simple photo templates (the gray photo spots with white matting behind them). I made scrapbook pages with the photo mats, and then turned my pages into new templates.


Finally, Recyclables 39 is a set of past freebies and challenge prizes. This is a fun and playful set.


Here is Wendy's page with Simple & Sweet Album Templates 1.


Rebecca used the Photo Mat Full Templates to make a double birthday page.


Amanda scrapped with the double page template in Recyclables 39 for her beach photos.


This gorgeous page was scrapped by a Polly Sucali over at TLP.

Isn't this paper page just gorgeous? It's from Katrina, the newest member of my Creative Team! She made this page with my Swirl Templates. I've been wanting to see how my digital templates could be translated into paper layouts (using a Silhouette and other techniques). Katrina is going to help show us how. She'll be making some pages and writing up some blog post for us. I'm so excited to have her join the team. 



Maybe she'll convert me back to a paper scrapper? Probably not, but I have been tempted to try some hybrid layouts and this just might be the key. And for those of you who are paper scrappers I'm excited to see how this might help you.



So, welcome Katrina to the team and check out her blog over at paperscissorsandglue.blogspot.com.

Monday's Highlight: Meeko by Karen

Amber Shaw & Studio Flergs - Believe In Magic Wind Dancer
Scrapping with Liz - Recyclables 36
font - MTF hello again
Last night I was browsing the galleries and this page by Karen stood out to me. I love how the nature theme enhances the photos. I like how the cut out part looks like a tree! The little leaves falling are just a perfect addition. Not to mention that those feathers are gorgeous. Karen did a great job highlighting the photos with just the right amount of embellishments.

Make sure you are sharing our SwL page in my facebook group. I love seeing them and you could win a coupon to my store!

2016 Week 9 & Some House Pages

Weekly Life Templates 3 by Scrapping with Liz
Memory Pockets Monthly - Q & A (kit and add-ons) available at the Lilypad

I think I'm going to do what I did last week and just copy and paste the journaling from my pages. It's kind of random and all mixed together, but I think you'll get the gist of our week.

Left Page: This week started with a soccer game with all the cousins and then a Leap Year Party with our co-op. Matthew also lost his first upper tooth. We had our first lunch on our porch at the new house.

Right: During Matthew's speech therapy at the Library Lydia and I had some one on one time doing a Dr. Seuss search. Emmie and Ashlyn's favorite snack to make is no-bake cookies. It's a staple in our house.
