Movie Day Layout for LM #811

Hello, everyone, and happy Sunday. Today is the reveal for the latest challenge over at Lasting Memories, and this time, Jill has challenged us to  create a layout showing our favorite brand or designer. This is always a challenge for me, since I was so loyal to CTMH for many years, but then they went out of business - bummer. I have a few new favorites now, with anything by Vicki Boutin topping the list. Here I used her mixed media paper as my background, then added patterned paper for the frame and the strip across the page. The "with you" puffy sticker is from one of her collections, too. We would love to see who is your favorite designer or brand, so feel free to swing by Lasting Memories to share a layout with us!

Here are a few close-ups - the extra ticket that pulls out of the envelope:

Fun & Sun Layout for LM #809

Today is a perfect day for the layout I just completed, since it's supposed to be sizzling here in Southern California! I plan to cool off in a movie theater this afternoon, but first let me share the latest Lasting Memories challenge with you. Design Team member Lisa has been sharing some mood boards with us, and I found inspiration from the lovely color palette of this week's board. Feel free to play along with this or any of the Lasting Memories challenges this month before the linky closes on Saturday. Here's my layout:

Covent Garden Layout

This month, my goal is to scrapbook at least 5 layouts from our 2017 trip to London, so here is one from April 29th, when we visit Covent Garden (among other places). I was really expecting something quite different, as you can tell from my journaling below, so we only spend enough time there to grab some lunch before heading off to another venue. However, I decided to scrapbook the photos as if it still was a flower market, which gave me a chance to use the flower shop and flower cart stickers that I had previously wondered if I would ever use. I also created the title using the Harrington font on my Cricut as a nod to Eliza's line, "In Hartford, Hereford, and Hampshire, hurricanes hardly happen," from The Rain in Spain. Harrington wasn't mentioned, but it sounds like it should have been!

Recipe:
Watercolor paper (Recollections)
Life Is Beautiful papers (Echo Park)
Sage, Canary & Cinnamon cardstock
Blush & Sage ink
Juniper marker
Everyday Moments pocket card (Scrapbook.com)
Life is Beautiful stickers (Echo Park)
Heavenly blue organdy ribbon
Cricut Design Space: vine, circles, title
Pattern: Sketches in Thyme #716 (on Facebook)

Challenges: A Cut Above Anything goes with a die-cut; One More Page Any scrapbook layout; Paper Rocks Scissors #18 Used scissors to cut the ribbon ends; Inkspirational Challenges #371 - I was inspired by the flowers on the vine, the colors, and the lemons (used circles to stand in for the lemons)

Swoosh! Crack! Thud! Whack! Layout

When you have been scrapping for a while, it sometimes gets hard to find a creative new title for similar events, so I was very happy when I saw a challenge over at A Cherry on Top to use onomatopoeia in your title. In case you don't know, onomatopoeia is a figure of speech where a word phonetically imitates, resembles, or suggests the natural sound that it describes. I searched online for suggestions for baseball related examples, and came up with the four I used in my title, so much more satisfying than using "take me out to the ball game" again!

Pear & White cardstock
Pear, Carolina & Canary ink

I'm Ready for My Close-Up Layout

I love taking pictures of our cats, and they are especially adorable when they are young, so be prepared to see several layouts of our cat Sif when she was a kitten. Just in case you're wondering, we named her Sif because we already had a cat named Thor, and Sif was the wife of Thor in Norse mythology. So now you know! She had a short tail, though we don't know if it was a birth defect or an accident, which is why I mentioned it when pretending to journal from her perspective. The title is lifted from Gloria Swanson's famous line in the movie Sunset Boulevard.

Buon Compleanno Layout

For my birthday in 2019, we threw a party for some friends at a local restaurant that has been a favorite of ours since my hubby and I were in college together. Unfortunately, we didn't manage to get many good photos due to the low lighting levels in the place, so I decided to just scrap these two of me with the complimentary spumoni ice cream our waitress presented to me. She said, "Buon Compleanno!" as she gave it to me, which is Italian for happy birthday, so I decided to use that for my title.

I'm not super vain but vain enough that I decided to cover over what birthday this was!

Also used a similar color scheme.

Sibs Layout

Love these random photos of my youngest kids! I don't really remember what we were doing when these were taken (possibly we had just eaten lunch at one of the local restaurants) so I didn't include any journaling, but I guess that is less important than the big smiles my kids are sporting.

And here's a close-up of the stenciled background and the embossing on the flowers:

The Treasures of Yesterday Layout

This is the companion page to the Heritage House Museum page that I scrapped earlier this month, but since there will be two pocket pages between them, I decided it wasn't important for them to match. Instead, I grabbed a paper pack of which I only have scraps left plus some very old stickers and used a sketch from Sketch-n-Scrap to pull this layout together.

Old Story Layout

It's been a busy month for me with my husband recovering from transplant surgery (I am his caregiver and have to drive him to tons of doctor appointments) and my daughter involved in many senior year events, so this layout has taken way longer to finish than it normally would, but I am glad to get something scrapped!

On the South Bank of the Thames Layout for LM #794

Happy Sunday, everyone, and for those of you in the northern hemisphere, I hope you are enjoying the spring weather. It's a little rainy here in Southern California, but it makes a nice change from the high temperatures of the past week. It's reveal day over at Lasting Memories, and I am hosting the THIS OR THAT challenges this month. I decided to go with the THAT option today: create a title using die-cuts and/or stamps. (The other option was to use alphabet stickers). I love the versatility of die-cuts - any size you need - and the limitless color options of both die-cuts and stamps, plus you never run out of that one letter you seem to need, which has been my experience with stickers! Hope you decide to hop on over to the blog and share your layout using either stickers or die-cut/stamps in your title.

14 Layout

For his 14th birthday, my son just wanted to go video gaming with four friends, so I only have a couple of photos of the event, but it made a nice change from the 200 photos we took at my other kiddo's birthday party! I'm still taking photos of my layouts because I don't have a new scanner yet, so that's why half of the layout looks a lot darker than the other. I'm sure there's a technique to photographing layouts, but I haven't figured it out yet.

UPDATE:

The file folder opens up to display a journaling spot. I haven't written my journaling yet because my son needs to give me more information about his memories of the event, but I would probably have to cover up all the names anyways, so I decided to go ahead and show what it looks like with just the blank card. I also included a embossed piece of cardstock that I sanded so the words show up better; haven't tried that in a while, but I like how it turned out.

Family {Christmas 2018} Layout

Hello everyone, and a very merry Christmas to you! Hope you all had a wonderful day. I was able to sneak away to my scraproom when the rest of the family started watching football, so here's the layout I completed with photos taken on Christmas Day 2018. My entire family was together, so it was good to get the group photo of us all, plus the rather amusing one of my parents. I started my layout with a super old kit that I pull out every few years to see if I can use any parts of it, but I only ended up using the chipboard, photo corners, and striped paper from there, while adding other items to go with my color scheme.

Recipe:
Family papers, chipboard & photo corners (Lisa Bearnson June 2007 Kit of the Month)
Pear & Partridge papers
Bamboo, Desert Sand & Cocoa ink

Challenges: Heart's Quest Challenge Blog #80 - used 5 red hearts; The Neglected Stuff Challenge - as I mentioned above, every few years I pull out this kit (last time was June 2022!) and use a few items, this time the striped paper, photo corners, and chipboard.

Christmas Concert Layout with HQCB Guest Design Opportunity

I'm still working on some Christmas layouts from 2018, and it seemed that there were lots of musical events that year; this one features photos from when my son sang in a Christmas concert at his school.

I was invited to be the guest designer for Heart's Quest Challenge Blog, which offers two options for their challenges. Here are the options for the current challenge:

I chose to use the first option of anything with a heart goes, and used black hearts, a large one and three small puffy ones. I'm going to try to do the other options, too, because it goes well with Christmas layouts, and I also have a Valentine's layout coming up that I might manage to squeeze in as well!

Where the Wild Things Are Layout

I'm hosting the challenges this month over at Lasting Memories, and I thought it would be fun to use picture books as inspiration. Unfortunately, I couldn't get my act together in time to finish a layout for the first challenge, but I want to play along with all the challenges, so here is mine for Where the Wild Things Are. These photos of my daughter and her friends being goofy seemed perfect for the title, and I tried to pick up some of the colors from the artwork, as well as including one of Max's monsters. The title was a real challenge since it was hand lettered and never digitized, but I ended up scanning the cover and editing it in Cricut Design Space to remove all the fuzziness until I ended up with a sharp enough outline to cut. Lots of work, but I love how it turned out. Hopefully you are inspired to come on over and see the design team's inspiration and then create your own layout for the challenge!

Here's the book cover that inspired me:

Contraband Layout

I don't take many pictures of just myself, but I was having fun with one of California's eco-bans when I took these photos, and so I decided to scrap them so I could play along with the Picture YOUrself challenge this month.

Love My Dog Layout

Our dog, Huxley, was not acquired by normal means; we were at a birthday party and one of the attendees was trying to find a home for him. We joke that he was the best party favor we ever got at a party, so that's what I based my journaling on. I used some new stuff on my layout (the papers and stickers), and the scalloped frame which had been sitting in my stash since I cut it out in 2023 but couldn't use it because my paper was too skinny and the left side got chopped off. Because I tucked the frame under my other papers, I was finally able to rescue it from the discard pile - woohoo!

Tis the Season Layout

My friend Diane hosted a Christmas tea in 2018, and for some reason I only took two photos. I am usually an avid photo taker at events like this, so I was pretty surprised at this small number of photos. However, there is a possibility this was the year I led the ladies in singing Christmas carols on guitar for the first time, so that would explain why I was so preoccupied and didn't take many photos. Hopefully Diane remembers, but in the meantime, there is no journaling on my layout because I can't remember all the facts!

The washi tape and spatters didn't show up well in my scan, so here is a close-up photo I took.

A Million Reasons to Smile Layout

I finished up scrapbooking the last of my November 2018 photos this morning by scrapping a birthday party for a little girl we know. We haven't seen the family for a while, so I reached out to the mom to check on her daughter's age in the photos, which turned out to be a blessing as we caught up and I remembered what great friends they were. That's my scrapbooking bonus for the day!
