Sunday Scrapbooking

  • by

I’ve managed to catch up with the assignments for Love Your Photos, Love Your Pages. The first layout is based on a sketch from Prompt 4. It’s quite simple, but it took a really long time for me to finally arrive at an arrangement of paper I liked. The photos are two that I took for an earlier assignment.

Cardstock: Bazzil; patterned paper: Jillibean and October Afternoon; butterfly button: Flair (American Craft); journaling circle: Jillibean; alphas: Nerdy Glittler (Sassafrass Lass) & Mini Market Stickers (October Afternoon); date stamp (Staples)

As soon as I read yesterday’s prompt about adding text or a title to a photograph I knew exactly what I wanted to do. Here’s the layout I did once I got the photograph done.

Patterned paper: Paper Loft; cardstock: from scrap file; chipboard sticker: Mama-Razzi (Bo Bunny)

I forgot to upload the layout so it can be enlarged so here is the journaling:

I have always had a good eye for color. Once I started making cards and scrapbooking my sense of design and space really improved. But nothing has improved my eye as much as taking photographs. Now I see things I would have missed totally before I started taking photos every day. I love this quote because it has been so true for me.

And last, a layout of our garden with photos I took this evening. The garden looks fabulous, and we are enjoying lettuce, zucchini, and cucumbers as well as lots of basil. There are even a couple of pepper plants that are looking much better and have developed some flowers. If all the tomatoes survived, I’ll be doing a lot of canning later this summer!  The pole beans have crawled up the poles and attached themselves to the sides of the fence as well. As I was catching up with blogs this weekend I came across a series of posts on Write. Click. Scrapbook. by Moon Ko. There was lots of inspiration but even nicer, a set of free templates. As soon as I saw this one I knew it would work perfectly for a garden layout. I’m planning to go back and do one for May and June as well.

    Love the first two layouts – isn’t it funny how sometimes “simple” layouts take a long time to finish? I have that trouble with color-blocked layouts.
    And it’s fun to see how much your garden has grown! I remember when you were just putting it in.
    Also, on another topic, I’ve been interested in reading Await Your Reply which I see on your shelf. Let me know what you think.

    Great layouts Karen! Especially the first two. I think you made great paper choices for the strip layout. I LOVE the second layout – the quote is perfect, love your camera strap and how you pulled colors out of that for the embellishments. I’m starring this one so I can come back later and scraplift it!

    All lovely, Karen, as always. I will be scraplifting #1 for sure! ;-> Such nice meaning behind all the layouts. How special it will be to look back on your first year of community gardening–and you can do a page or two on what you make with all that bounty too!

    Both these first two layouts stood out for me on the forum, stunning work 🙂 And I’m making a note of the quotation too!
    I also really like your idea for a series about your garden – it’ll make a lovely keepsake xx

    What a lush garden! How wonderful to be able to enjoy your own veggies. We planted our first veggie garden this year and planted a little late (second week in June), but we are finally starting to see flowers on our hot peppers. I can’t wait to make salsa! And that camera quote — love it!!
