Greystone Mansion Layout

The Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills, CA, is a lovely place to visit, although you can only tour the gardens and peek in through the windows, but it has a pretty tragic past include an unsolved murder that was pretty high profile at the time. We took a bunch of photos of the garden and a couple of the interior (as much as we could glimpse of it), so I decided to scrapbook these 7 photos and put the rest in a photo storage page. I wanted to do a cloudy sky background but none of my cloud papers looked right, so I ended up creating my own sky using white cardstock, a brayer, blue ink, and a couple of die-cut clouds that I temporarily adhered using washi tape, then removed once I was done playing - so fun!

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.

It's a Wonderful Life - Vacation Mode Layout

Today I worked on a second layout for my Big Bear vacation album, this time with some fun photos of the kids playing in the snow. We took some videos of them tubing, and it made me laugh to watch them again as the kids went flying down the runs in their tubes, giggling and shrieking all the way!

Cousins Layout

My kids don't get to see their out-of-state cousins very often, so I loved scrapping these photos of this special day we spent together. If I were more technically savvy, I would add the video of the two youngest kids doing the Floss (super popular in 2019), but you will just have to imagine it! I used some really old cousins-themed paper on the background and also cut the title from a section that was covered by photos.

I popped up the top photo so I could include a pocket card with my hidden journaling.

Mini Valentine Card

Wanting to give a little love and encouragement to the ladies in my Bible study group, I spent yesterday making 14 mini Valentine's cards for them. The cards went through several iterations as I tried to figure out what I liked and had enough supplies to create, and I even "cheated" a bit when I used the plain colored back of some cardstock-weight patterned papers to cut the tags. The papers were from a 6"x6" paper pad that had been sitting in my stash for years, so I think it was a good choice to finally use them for something!

Mission Inn LO for LM #785

Since I still have no scanner, I have been avoiding creating any double page layouts because I wasn't sure how well I could photograph them, but this week's Lasting Memories challenge pushed me over the edge to work on one of them. The challenges this month - hosted by me! - are all about journaling, and this week's challenge is to write 50+ words of journaling. For our wedding anniversary in 2019, my hubby and I stayed at an awesome hotel in Riverside, the Mission Inn and Spa, and took a bunch of photos while exploring this Historical Landmark location, so I knew I could write a lot about it. I discovered that 50 words is actually not that many, and I ended up using about 175 on this  layout!

EMS Sketch Challenge #127 + B-Day Breakfast Layout

I hadn't created a new sketch yet this year, but Sharon over at Splitcoast Stampers asked for one for the virtual crop (VSBN) they are having this month over there, so here's what I came up with. After I finished it, I realized it features 4 vertical photos just like my last sketch, but hopefully the simplicity will  appeal to those who didn't want to add all the banners next to the photos! Feel free to rotate it, flip it, use different sized photos, or just use it as is, but be sure to share your layout in the comments below. And we would love to have you play along with the crop at Splitcoast; it's easy and free to sign up for an account, and there are 7 love-inspired challenges to help you get some scrapping done.

Nuts About You Layout for LM#782

This month, Lasting Memories' design team member Wendy is challenging us to use some sketches she chose, so here is my layout for this week's 3 photo sketch.   It was perfect for these photos of a visit with a friend and her kids, although I chose not to crop all my photos into squares, and I added a large heart in the background. Sketches are so fun because you can adapt them to work with your photos and theme, so feel free to play along with us over at LM with one or more of the sketches we are showcasing this month!

Feminine Birthday Cards

As I was going through my craft room today trying to tidy up and organize, I came across a box of bits and pieces left over from when I used to do card workshops. I haven't done a card workshop in years, and I think I made fewer than ten cards in 2025, which means my box of extra cards is pretty depleted, so making up a few new cards using these scraps seemed like a good idea. For the first batch, I used Sketch-n-Scrap's January card sketch and made two birthday cards for gals. I used the sketch pretty much as is except I didn't round the corners and I added a larger sentiment, but on the second version, I rotated it a half turn. I also added some shimmer to the Happy on the first card and the big flower on the second card. I tried to photograph it so that the sparkle showed (see the third photo), but I'm not sure how successful I was, so you will have to take my word for it that it is pretty!

January 2019 Layout

Since I am a chronological scrapper and tend to scrap almost all my photos, yet don't want my end of year scrapbooks to be too thick, I have started scrapping all my miscellaneous photos from a particular month together on one layout rather than scrapping a bunch of single photos. It's kind of fun as it gives a feel for various happenings throughout the month. For January 2019, I added labels with the date and event under each photo rather than making a long list in one place. The layout design is based on a sketch I created in 2019 but have only used once, so since The Outlawz Anything But a Card was challenging us to re-create a project you had previously done, I thought this would be a good sketch to use. Here's the link to my previous layout, where I pretty much did the sketch as is, whereas for today's layout, I flipped the sketch horizontally, added an extra photo, and extended the bottom border piece across both pages. It was fun to re-visit this sketch, so thanks for the challenge inspiration!

More Presents Layout

This week has been spent getting ready for Christmas, but I finally escaped to my scraproom this afternoon to work on a layout from Christmas past.

Discover {Tower Bridge} Layout for Lasting Memories #779

I haven't scrapped any London photos in ages, so I decided to complete at least one from our 2017 vacation. This time, it was Tower Bridge. Since the Lasting Memories challenge for December is to play along with either a favorite challenge we want to do again or a challenge we missed but would still like to do, I played along with #759 - Jill's Favorites: Embellishments. I absolutely love using die-cuts on my layouts, so here I added three: the title, the sun, and the cloud. Hope this inspires you to check out some of the fun challenges we had this year and play along this month!

I also had fun coloring in the black and white line drawing on the cool background paper!

Totally Tasty Layout

For a challenge I host over at Scrapbook.com, I am using the same sketch four times, so if this layout design looks familiar, it's the same one I used on two other layouts, except I turned it upside down. It's fun to see if you can get a unique look out of the same sketch when using it so close in time. I also had help from several other challenges that inspired me to add items, so check out the list below to see who inspired me.

Brianna's 2nd Grade Class Layout

Yesterday I created a layout with my daughter's 2nd grade class portrait on it, and now here is the companion page with her whole class. I used basically the same supplies so the two pages would coordinate well. The Sketch-n-Scrap throwback sketch was my inspiration, but I had to make a few changes since the photo is an 8x10 instead of the smaller ones from the sketch. Super happy to use most of the burgundy floral paper, which has been in my stash since at least 2006! I have a little bit left, so I might need to make a card just to finish it off.

Elgin Marbles Layout

This is the companion page to the Monuments page I created earlier this week. There will be a pocket page between them to hold more photos and my journaling, which usually means I can scrapbook the two pages in totally different style even though they are thematically related, but I got lazy and just used the supplies I already had on  my desk from the other page!

Monuments Layout

I did a little bit of organizing in my scrapbook room this week, with a pleasant surprise resulting: I found the last set of photos from the British Museum that I had misplaced, so here is a layout of the Nereid Monument, an impressive Greek tomb. There are also two photos of the Parthenon Frieze, which is why I felt justified in titling my layout Monuments (plural). Journaling will be in a facing pocket page, and I am working on another layout with the rest of the Parthenon sculptures. For the background, I started with white cardstock which I brayered with the blue ink, then  stamped the corners and added some distress spritz. Not usually a mixed media gal, but I like how this came out!
