Port Huron Double

Here is the Port Huron double page spread. You'll notice that I changed the layout of the second page. Once I combined them together and saw what it would look like, it needed to be changed. Ha! And this time, I added a seagull. For two page spreads, I think it's really important to put them side by side in Photoshop so you'll know what they will look like in a book. *making mental note*

Port Huron

I am happy to be part of Christina Smith's creative team in which I get to use her products as a way to advertise for her digital scrapbooking store at Little Dreamer. For these two pages, I used her Beach Bliss Kit.

I tried scrapping these pictures last week, but it just wasn't coming together. Today I was flipping through a 2008 Creative Keepsakes magazine to try to get some idea for all the pictures I want to use. Despite how easy these layouts are, I did get the layout from the CK magazine. When I first scrapped with these pictures, I had 2x2 squares and it just wasn't working or looking good. This time I did 2x3 rectangles and I like it tons better. After all, most of my pictures were vertical. It's funny that I needed inspiration for that idea, but hey, I'll take it where I can get it! :)

Smith Reunion

Look at me doing all of this scrapping out of order! ;) Some of the recent things we've done I have *really* been wanting to scrap and so I have! Originally, I was only going to do a two page spread, but I had too many pictures I wanted to use, lots of journals, and a poem. I finally decided I would need three pages in order to fit everything nicely. Even though I have three pages of pictures, there are still pictures I wish I would have taken of people that were there. I will have to try better next time, but for now, I think I've captured a lot from that really fun weekend!

The flowers, rhinestones and flourish (pg. 2) are from the Travel Along Kit by Christina Smith. I just love those flowers! I used flowers like that when I scrapped traditionally and, again, I love being able to use them digitally!

I wanted to keep things fairly simple and pretty much the same elements on each page so that the focus is on the pictures and journals.

7 Years

I created this page using the Love Hearts Kit and Love Hearts Quotes by Greener Grass Designs.

It's 12:34am (I love it when the numbers go together...1,2,3,4, haha)! I am rarely on the computer this "late" and even more rarely am I scrapping at this time. However, I really wanted to scrap these pictures and my husband was watching a movie I didn't really want to watch. So really, the timing was perfect. I had my headphones plugged in and was listening to music the whole time. I really enjoyed it!

Pedal It

For this page, I used two kits by Greener Grass Designs: Summertime (papers, bike, clouds) and Love Hearts (bubble wrap and staples). When I used to scrap traditionally, I really liked using bubble wrap and paint so I'm super happy to be able to still use it while creating with digital supplies!
