Creative Memories Zoom Scrapbooking

This week I joined some Creative Memories ladies for some Zoom scrapbooking. These ladies shared some simple layouts with a twist. This is the first layout we made - specifically the geometric border on the left. Not as they taught - but I like the results nonetheless. I added the photo matting, titles, deer, and some pearls to finish off the layout.  I don't usually like to create a layout without a good schematic including photos, titles, and embellishments....but I did push myself out of my comfort zone and added those on my own....and am quite happy with the completed layout.  Yes, I've done it! Now to complete the two-page layout Diane shared. Secretly, I am proud of myself! The deer are from Star Jame Lines - Baby Deer with Mom.

It's a Girl and Stick It Down Challenge

How about this sweet baby layout?

It's inspired by this month's single-page sketch at Stick It Down!  I turned the sketch on it's side.  The journaling was computer generated.

Unfortunately, I can't post pics of the new arrival...but I can guarantee she is CUTE!  The photos will be one of Dad holding new baby, and one of Mom holding new baby.

I keep being drawn to the beautiful turquoise papers in this collection (Positive Vibes - Digi Crea) - have to remind myself to add a little pink here and there.  

Also not sure if it's my cameras, computer screen, or my eyes....but I sure have a hell of a time posting these photos with true colors.  This layout is a beautiful soft turquoise, yet my photos always seem to come out baby blue...if anybody has any helpful hints, I'd appreciate them!  I've tried all different rooms and lighting and outside with natural light...two different cameras...and they all come out the same.  :(

We Are 3's Just Autumn

If you're a regular visitor to my blog, you know I'm a designer for We Are 3. I so love digital papers - the flexibility is just my cup of tea! They give me the opportunity to complete a complete scrapbook without fear of running out of coordinating papers. I can't believe I am working on the fifth scrapbook for my oldest grandchild. Here I resized a sheet of Just Autumn to get a tiled effect. I used some alphabet letters from my stash for the title. 

We Are 3's Look Up Digital Papers

I so love my scrapbooking for so many reasons, but this layout is one of my favorites. This design was inspired by the Stick It Down Sketch Challenge. So much fun! I used We Are 3's Look Up collection, which is available here.

We Are 3 and Look Up Digital Papers

For my layout today, I resized paper from We Are 3's Look Up collection - nice large hot-air balloons. 

The title from Elegant Word Art was a must for this photo of my mother-in-law.  I added some ribbon and felt buttons, and a tag with the date.  Fast and easy!  To view the rest of the papers that come in this collection, click HERE.  Also be sure to visit We Are 3's Facebook Page to see fabulous new papers and designs.

Vintage Carnival Digital Papers

Vintage Carnival is one of my favorite collections from We Are 3....something that brings back memories of my childhood.....remember all the local amusement parks when we were young?  Well this collection is a throwback to those days....always reminds me of the weathered appearance of carnival rides.  I've been using this collection for my grandson's latest scrapbook - and every time I create a layout, I'm hit with a wave of nostalgia.  You can check out this collection here.

Family Goodness

Hello, Everyone!  Wow, can you believe this weather???  It's 25 years ago today that I visited the Southwest and fell in love with the weather. It's so beautiful this time of year - great time for the Midwesterners to get out of that cold and come visit.

I'm finishing up scrapbooks for my hubby's siblings.  Here's the latest.

Best Collection Yet

For today's layout, I used Little Star papers (We Are 3).  (I just love how everything coordinates in We Are 3 paper collections!)

Tips and Techniques 2 Inspiration

Here's another Christmas layout - one of my grandson wear a red nose and deer antlers Baba sent him.  The design is inspired by a layout by Denise Medeiros (Tips and Techniques 2).  The papers used are from the Vintage Carnival Collection (We Are 3).
