Walk on Water Layout

Mike and I had so much fun walking the Lake Williams Boardwalk last weekend. Even though it was very windy out on the water it was still a lot of fun. I used up my remaining stash of the Lake Life collection with this layout.

The inspiration for this layout came from this sketch from Page Maps. You can see this sketch along with others here.

I converted the layout from 12" x 12" to 8 1/2" x 11". I also only used the left-hand side of the sketch. I changed the photo size and number of photos to work with the new layout size. The title was die cut using a set from my stash. The embellishments also came from my stash. I added faux-stitching on the circle elements using a marker and circle template.

Wild for Woobles Layout

I had so much fun creating this layout during a recent Scrapbook with me. Meghan has gotten into doing crochet recently and has been doing a lot of these "Woobles" kits to make things for us and their friends. I pulled out a retired Stampin' Up DSP paper pack for this layout.

The inspiration for this layout came from this sketch from ScrapSavvy. You can see this sketch along with others here.

I converted the layout from 12" x 12" to 8 1/2" x 11". I changed the sizes of the photos to work with the layout size. The title is a combination of die cut and sticker letters. The embellishments came from my stash.

September 2024 Monthly Recap Layout

My next monthly recap layout features the Soda Pop collection from Close To My Heart and Stampin' Up. I loved working with the papers in this collection and they fit so well with the photos from September.

The inspiration for this layout came from this layout I found on Pinterest.

I converted the layout from 12" x 12" to 8 1/2" x 11".  I changed from 2 rows of photos to 1 row and modified the photo size to work with the layout size. The title was cut with my Circut. The embellishments and journal box came from the sticker sheet that coordinated with the Soda Pop collection.

August 2024 Monthly Recap Layout

Another layout in my Monthly Recap series. I dug into my stash of 6"x6" paper pads for this one. I wanted to pull some fun colors and patterns to work with the pictures from August of this year. This sketch worked great with this paper size.

The inspiration for this layout came from this layout I found on Pinterest from Alison Davis. You can see this sketch and others here.

I converted the layout from 12" x 12" to 8 1/2" x 11". I also modified the photo sizing and number of photos to work with the new layout size. The stars were die cut using a set from my stash and the title was cut on my Cricut.

Apple Pie Layout

Of course, after apple picking comes apple pie time. I usually make 2 pies each year - one for home and the other for my coworkers. Meghan is a great help when it comes to making the pies each year. For this layout I used some more of the Sweet Days of Autumn DSP and cardstock along with some dies from my stash.

The inspiration for this layout came from this layout I found on Pinterest from Even More Scrapping. You can see this sketch and others here.

I converted the layout from 12" x 12" to 8 1/2" x 11" and modified the photo sizing to work with the new layout size. I used leaf clusters die cut using the Autumn Leaves set instead of the 2 circle photos. The border was punched with a punch from my stash. I added some twine to give a little more interest and die cut the title using a set from my stash.

Days to Remember Layout

Northborough holds an Applefest weekend every year in September. There are so many events that weekend to check out - 5K road race, street fair, farmer's market, barbeque, fireworks, etc... This year it was pretty rainy on Saturday but we still managed to check out as many events as possible.

The inspiration for this layout came from this layout from Even More Scrapping. You can see this sketch along with others here.

I converted the layout from 12" x 12" to 8 1/2" x 11" and modified the photo sizing to work with the new layout size. I challenged myself to use the September Paper Pumpkin kit for the layout. I like being able to use the supplies I get in this kit for other than intended uses. I did some tone-on-tone stamping of leaves on the background cardstock. The large "log" element was cut out of one of the card bases. The stickers for the title came from the Sweet Days of Autumn paper pack sticker sheet.

Crisp Autumn Days Layout

We have been going apple picking at Tougas Farms close to every year since we moved to Northboro. We go there specifically so Meghan can get the Crimson Topaz apples they love and I can get some good ones for making apple pie (usually Cortlands). We decided to go this year during the week when it would be less crowded and both Meghan and Nicole wouldn't be at work. It was a perfect day and we had a great time! I pulled out papers, cardstock, and stamps from the Autumn to Remember Suite from Stampin' Up for this and love how it came out!

The inspiration for this layout came from this layout I found on Pinterest. 

I converted the layout from 12" x 12" to 8 1/2" x 11" and modified the photo sizing to work with the new layout size. The title and leaf embellishments were stamped using the Autumn to Remember stamp set. I inked the edges of the circles with Early Espresso Ink. I added some ribbon and dots to embellish the layout.
