I love the neat, clean look of the layout with the negative space, but I love piling things on too! The top layout was done with little embellishment. The layout below I painted raw chipboard, then covered it with glitter and tied ribbon to it. This is a good example of me not having a particular "style" of scrapping, I like to mix it up.
Our first task at Lime Light was to make a set of 2 cards and a bookmark for Marines. One card is for the Marine, one for them to send to a loved one and the bookmark can be for either. Check out our blog for more pics. I am so happy to be part of this charitable design team and being able to use my hobby to help others, even if it is such a small thing as a card.
I made my own embellishments for this layout. I cut donuts out of cardboard and sprinkled them with bits of cardstock.
Logen is a vampire and Hayes is a bat this year for Halloween. This layout was done for Scrap Your Crap's new challenge to use up your old Halloween stuff, the buttons that I sewed to the fence are several years old. The vampire was made using Cricut's Paper Doll cartridge that I have had for awhile and never used.
Also, I am so excited to be chosen for Scrap City's new design team and I can't wait to get started working with these very talented group of gals! Thanks Wendy for making me part of your team.
I've been a bad blogger and I really need to make my blog hopping rounds, too! I have been trying to reorganize my scrap space and it's been a slow process. I am in the process of sorting everything by color and I think once I finish it will a great system. Stacy Jullian was on Scrapbook Memories a few weeks ago and stated that was how she worked, so I thought I would give it a try.
I finally finished a layout today though. The journaling on this layout is was done on a Maya Road sheer plastic index card. I had so much to say that I attached a piece of paper folded accordian style, then attached to card and page and used paper clips to hold the spot.

I've been working on an album for Kristin using mostly current photos. I was challenged at Scrap City to do a school themed layout and this was perfect for her album to add an older photo and one that I wouldn't scrap for my album since it's a group photo. I journaled quite a bit about her 4-K experience because she will likely not remember much about this time in her life.
