California Scrappin’

  • by

I didn’t take many photos the week I spent with Sarah, but I printed three of them the other night and got layouts done for all of them.

Ride?LO
I love Sadie, Sarah and Adam’s dog. She LOVES to go for a ride in the car. Here she is as Adam and Sarah take me to the airport to fly home. All the papers and the tag are from Teresa Collin’s new line “Freestyle.” It was one of my favorites at CHA, and I couldn’t wait to use them once they arrived this week.

I joined a scrapbook club again a month or two ago. It had been some time since I’d belonged to one and I decided on Scrapbook Circle. The cost/month is very reasonable, and so far I’ve been pleased with the variety of product that arrives. If I don’t keep up with using it, I’m sure I’ll give it up as I have a few others I’ve tried in the past. The background paper is old Scenic Route. I love the graph paper and bought a lot of it before they went out of business. The Paislee Press patterned paper, and Jenni Bowlin butterflies were from the kit. The alpha is a new one I picked up at CHA from American Craft, and I found the ribbon in my stash.

I always make my kids pose for photos when I’m with them. Adam took this shot of Sarah and me before we left for the airport. The title says it all.

The patterned paper is an older Collage Press line. Like the  Scenic Route I bought some extra when it was being discontinued. I have no idea where the fabric medallion came from, but the flower on top of it is from Maya Road. And the ribbon is from my stash. The small alph is October Afternoon and “priceless” is my fave–American Craft Thickers. I just noticed that the strips of patterned paper seem a bit crooked in the photo. Absolutely straight IRL. 🙂

  1. Karen, These are all so beautiful! I just love your clean and simple style. They are gorgeous!
    PS – Yes, Barbara was totally holding out on us! I wouldn’t have known either if I hadn’t asked if I could use her photo. We need to give her a hard time! 🙂

  2. Oh, gorgeous! All beautiful photos and all beautiful layouts, thanks for sharing because I’ve so enjoyed looking at these xx
    I’m considering joining a kit club of some sort, but there isn’t quite so much of a range in the UK, and shipping from the US is too expensive 🙁
