GSO Time!

 Can you believe it’s the end of January already?  Since 2021 hasn’t been a great year either, I’m okay if it goes fast 😊 Well I can’t speed time up, so I had to find another way to beat the blah’s.   I went looking through the gallery today and low and behold, my spirits brightened considerably.  Thanks to MOC, there are so many pretty layouts to supercharge my mojo!  I can’t wait to show you this month’s GSO’s!

First, take a peek at this one by Mum23ms:


Wow.  Simply wow!!  I love her large photo with the lens ball.  Seriously.  I just can’t get enough of this photo.  Then, when you read her journaling, you’ll just be blown away. You have to love everything about this page.

Next I wanted to show you a page by mnjenlittle:


Once again, I was drawn to her large photo which she has framed beautifully with smaller photos.  The title work is really cute too and quite eye catching😊

Now here is one by carrie1977:


Don’t you love the black and white photos with the pops of color scattered throughout the page?  And I love her voice in the journaling.  She tells the story quite well!

Here’s one by garrynkim:


Talk about amazing journaling!  Visit her layout in the gallery and you can read about her bigger-than-life grandfather.  I love the old western feel on this page which suits the photo perfectly!

So by now you probably realize I love a good story.  We won’t be here one day, but our words can stick around and tell our kids and grandkids what happened.  This layout by marijke is a perfect example:


Can’t you just get imagine future generations pouring over this page and getting excited to learn what’s behind the photo?  This, my friends, is why we scrapbook – to preserve those memories for those who come after us!

Well, I hope you enjoyed the bit of eye candy I shared today and feel inspired to take some pictures, scrap a page, and write some journaling!  See you next month 😊

Your Story by Just Jamie

Most of our time was spent at home this week due to a sick kid. We spent our time reading, playing games, staying warm by the fire. It was a cozy week. We did get our first chicken egg so that was exciting.

If you look closely at this page you'll notice a new Must Watch Template - they will release this week! Consider it a little sneak peek. These are one of my favorite things to add to y weekly scrapbook pages.

January Step-by-Step and Sale

 

Hello 2021!  Can you believe 2020 is finally over? Let’s all hope that 2021 provides us with a better experience.  Well, regardless of what happens, I know that a new year means new opportunities to scrap and that makes me quite happy!  Speaking of scrapping, one of the great things about Liz’s templates is that each and every one of them can be used in so many ways.  Today I’d like to show you a step-by-step layout I made using one of Liz’s older templates, BigPhoto Templates 3. 


 See that big photo spot?  Oh, you could fill it with one photo, or you could blend in a bunch of photos like I did here. With the help of masks, I took seven photos of fireworks and blended them together into one giant photo.  It was so much fun!  Then I was able to fill the other squares with some more photos too.  Easy Peasy!


Next, I added all my bits and pieces such as papers, stars, banners, flowers, dangly things and whatever else that drew my eye. 


Finally, I changed the title and clipped some paper and stars to it to finish it off.  That’s it!  Liz’s templates are so easy and efficient to use, don’t you agree?

**layout made using artCrush No 29 by NBK Designs

So like today, each month I will be back with another step-by-step layout highlighting something fun from an older template.  Guess what else though?  Liz is being quite generous and giving all her blog readers a coupon for 50% off the template featured that month.  How cool is that????  So this month, use coupon code Swl_BP3SAVE before it expires on February 15th.  You will love adding Big Photo Templates 3 to your stash I promise!

See you next month 😊

Pages Scrapped in 2020 & 2021 Goals

Pages Scrapped 2020

It's that time of year where I do a little reflection on what I've scrapped for the year, and then I make a  plan for the upcoming year.  I finished my 2020 album, I finished a cousin album for my mom, and I also finished up my 2019 DYD album. I also started a a graduation album for my oldest daughter and scrapped 27 pages of it.  It's not finished but it will be a top priority for 2021. 

2020 Accomplishments:
  • 2020 Family Album
  • 2019 Completed 2019 DYD Album
  • Finished Cousins Album
2021 Goals:
  • 2021 Family Album (with new templates I'll be designing for 2021!)
  • Finish daughter's graduation album
  • Finish 12 Days of Memories Christmas Album
  • Participate in some challenges at TLP - this was on my goal list last year and sadly I didn't accomplish it! I don't know that I participated in a single challenge. I'm definitely going to try and make this a priority this year.

And here's a recap of the last 8 years.  I actually scrapped 26 more pages than last year!
