Lovely work by Kristin! Especially that altered box! WOW! Thanks for sharing!
What lovely inspiration! Always love seeing Diane, too!

Well back in the early days of scrapbooking, stickers were all the rage. Remember that? We felt the need to fill the white space around our photos with silly stickers that seemed to just float on the pages with no rhyme or reason other than adding color and perhaps a bit of whimsy. (What were we thinking?) Today, stickers are still popular, but we use them in a different way. For me, stickers now need to add artistic merit and need to be anchored somehow...no more "floating"!

Kristin, thank you for your beautiful parting gift to us! You will be missed! Gloria, you have out-down yourself yet again! Wowsa! Great tutorial!
Hallelujah! I've been so frustrated by the width restrictions. So what's the total available width? I prefer a 3-column layout & the right side of my 500 pixel photos in the center column have been getting cut-off lately, forcing me to Photoshop a white right-side buffer to my photos in order for the entire image to show. Will this wider option fix the problem? Also, how will the new wider format affect viewing on smart phones? Thanks, Brianna!

Thanks, Joyce! I think you are right about primary colors for children. Oddly, it wasn't even a conscious choice...it just sort of happened organically and turned out to be perfect for this layout! Thanks for visiting! Hugs, Eniko
Very nice gift box tutorial! Thank you! Such pretty paper, too...
What a nice idea, Christy!
Oh Val, how right you are...these photos are very special indeed. The boys were at their sweetest! I'm glad you like my Webster's Pages layout! xo
Hi Kay! How lucky that I just happened to have the right blue ink on hand! 18 photos on a page is quite impressive. It's certainly tricky to keep that many organized! We certainly did get crafty time in...we made mom a to-go cup for work for Mothers Day. I'm loving the look of splats & splatters now & must still attempt the "drippage" technique that I saw on your blog. xo
Thanks for the inspiration, Heather! I never would have thought to stamp with a plastic cup. I've stamped with a tp roll, but it's so frustrating when the cardboard gets warped out of shape and doesn't stamp a true circle. And you are right, there is no wrong way to splatter, though I'm really glad I tried it out first on scrap paper!
That's so sweet, Janet! Definitely go for it...it was loads of fun! And I love the effect! Good luck!
Thank you Kay! So glad you like my family layout. It's always so lovely to know you've stopped by...I feel like I want to make you tea!
Oh thanks, Joann! Gratitude is so important and even more important to share it with those we love!

How do you scrapbook 16 photos and cram them onto one layout? I usually prefer no more than a half a dozen photos on a double-page, but scrapbooking is really just a form of storytelling, so it's more about communication, than numbers, right? Continue reading

In honor of Mothers Day, I am posting a layout that I created for The Big Picture National Scrapbooking Day Creative Crop, posted by Stephanie Howell, using a scrapbook sketch from Let's Scrap. My scrapbook layout is essentially a love letter to my two amazing sons... Continue reading

I truly love the way this layout honoring Margot's gorgeous achievement came out! I love that her work inspired the photographer, who in turn inspired me...that's art in action! Thanks for your sweet comment!
Thanks, Francine! Funny, I was rather reluctant to try this technique...I thought it would be messy and awkward, but it was so much fun & rather liberating. I so appreciate your comments!
Oh Kay...you make my day with your wonderful comments! How right you are about water being such a readily available ingredient! Who knew? (Incidentally, there is a new tutorial posted by Ada in the NSD section of the Forum at Let's Scrap, where she makes the most amazing flowers using water & cardstock.) I did submit this layout to G45's May Challenge & have shared it with the fan site. Kay, it was surprisingly simple to do and not nearly as messy as I would have thought. The water dries really fast, so you can "stay in the moment" while working. Love trying new things!

For scrapbooking enthusiasts, National Scrapbooking Day is like Christmas. Actually, one of my on-line scrapping buddies described it as the "Black Friday" of scrapbooking. LOL! That's actually pretty accurate. This year NSD fell on Saturday May 4th and the day was jam-packed with scrapbooking challenges from oodles of websites offering chances for fabulous prizes for participation. I signed up for The Big Picture Classes Creative Crop and was determined to complete all 10 challenges offered over the weekend. Continue reading

Thanks for your comment, Val! I really like the way the touch of bronze looks on the silver, too! Thanks for visiting!
Thanks, Francine! I'm so gald you like the final product!
Saci, the prize was given out via a random drawing, so it was completely by chance that someone else won. I really appreciated your support, and I'm so happy that you liked the final layout!
Love the Black Cat papers! So cute!
Ha, ha, ha...that "Love Potion No. 45 stamp is a "must have"!
