Happy Thanksgiving Card

Happy Thanksgiving Card

I saw this adorable card by Natasha Schwecke and knew I had to copy it! I love the look of the wood grain mixed with the glitter paper. I feel like that's what Thanksgiving is- a time to party and glitz up the simple celebration of food and bounty. May you and your families all have a happy Thanksgiving!

How To CASE Your Favorite Layouts

CASE = Copy And Share Everything

I still have some layouts to work on from this fall, but I'm almost done. Here's one I made of Esper's Halloween this year. It came together very quickly because I copied the basic layout from this page I saw on Pinterest. I usually look for layouts on my boards that contain the same amount of photos so that it's really easy to copy a design. I actually sketch rectangles on paper to represent photos, either portrait or landscape based on how I shot them. Then I look through layouts that feature the same amount and orientation of photos or close to it. The one I found was one photo shy, but I knew I could make it work.

As you can see, I usually start with the basic shapes and placement of the page and then go from there.


It's simple (but simple means fast!) and keeps the focus on the photos. The banner was one from the Eventful Year Hostess disc that I recolored.


So give it a try! CASE'ing really takes all the brain power out of creating. It's great for me because I'm usually running low. :)

MDS Blog Hop: All Things Love

I have a fun Valentine's Day card to share with you today. I was inspired by a card made by Tiffany Bauer and another by Lisa Foster. Make sure you watch the video below in which I show how to insert that cute Designer Series Paper into the typewriter stamp image (I just realized I'm talking very quietly in it because everyone in the house was sleeping. Sorry 'bout that). And then make sure you go check out everyone else's beautiful love-themed projects!

Divided Page Challenge & Video Tutorial

Stampin' Up! has a challenge posted to make a divided page like the ones found in The Best Year Photobook Template. I love these templates and wanted to make one work for my Christmas pictures. I also wanted to switch it up a bit so I rotated the whole thing. Watch the video below to see how I did that.

Christmas Eve Pajamas Scrapbook Page

Are you scrapbooking your Christmas photos yet? I am, only because I don't start school until Monday so I've had some free time. Don't you love the owls on this Snow Festival DSP? They match perfectly with her owl shirt she is wearing in the picture on the left and the owl pajamas she opened in the picture on the right. Yeah, we're a bit obsessed. ;) Here's the layout I drew inspiration from.
