Good Morning Scrappers,

I hope you have empty memory cards in your camera for a fun holiday weekend.   Time is flying, I can’t even believe that it is May!!!!  I hope you are making the most of every moment in May!!

There is so much to love in the April Masters Kit !!!   I absolutely loved so many things about Noelle’s April layouts-she had a problem with picture printing, but i wanted to share these designs anyway.   Check out how Noelle crinkled & wrapped paper for a decorative border.  And how cute are the numbers cut apart & used as border.  The 2nd layout is quite simple but just perfect to highlight & keep focus on the pictures!!

Take a few minutes to scrap today

Happy Scrappin’

Look at this beautiful paper line! This month’s kit features products from My Mind’s Eye Collectable Collection line. Drenched in color, it is perfect for Spring, Crawfish boils, and fun family get togethers.

On this layout, I had lots of memories and photos to fit on a double page layout. To make better use of my patterned paper, I chose to layer several strips of one paper on top of the other. To see my how to video, click on the following link.  Patterned Paper Tricks.

On my second layout I used parts of the bar coded edge of all of the patterned papers in the kit to add interest to the design. I have been using this little trick for a long time, but the edges for the Collectable Collections line vary in width, making the banners strips even better.

That’s all from me ladies. I hope you had a wonderful National Scrapbook Day!

Check out Heather Banker’s layouts using the FAMILY IS line!!

I love so many of the quotes in this line- You GOTTA love time TOGETHER-ain’t that the truth  ha ha!! It passes so quickly!!  I hope you are enjoying this kit–I love that ticket border-all of these words fit my crazy family !!  Love the white pen accents!!

Cute – love this flag banner, it really gives you the feel for her cruise pictures and doesn’t even require a title!!  Also, like the squares used as border on the left side and WOW-look at that journaling-its soooo important but sometimes its so hard to do.  Good job Heather!!

Have YOU scrapped this month?   I sure hope you can take some time to spend with friends & scrap some memories soon!  Its good medicine for your soul so you can go back & deal with all the craziness & love that comes with being part of a family!!!

More inspiration from Memory Mania Masters design team using Bo Bunny Family Is line.  I hope this line motivates you to STOP and take some pics of your family today!!

Kudos to Stephanie Powers for these beautiful layouts!!
Can you see how happy Stephanie’s beautiful mother is??  I know the feeling, when i can be with all of my family-there is no other feeling like it-THANKFUL!!  In this crazy world we live in, its nice to know how much we DO have to be thankful for – and family definitely rates top on my list-how about you?

This is the most hilarious pics and story.  I laughed so hard when I saw this layout a few weeks ago and I definitely laughed even harder today.  I know I’m guilty of traumatizing my family with the camera-but Steph-you may have me beat  ha ha!!  KUDOS to your awesome guys for allowing you to have so much fun with them!!

Introducing Noelle Landry’s layouts for this week’s inspiration using your Masters Kit Club with Bo Bunny FAMILY IS line.   Blue & Green are my HAPPY colors so of course, I’m loving it!!

I love these fun BOWLING pictures!!  I haven’t been yet, son I’m wondering if this is the new Bowling Lanes in Ascension?  Regardless of where it is, I can see that everyone had a great time!!  What do you think of the really cool stamp in the kit?  You will be able to use this for years!! 

Fun, FuN, these papers look great for Disney layouts!!  Love the camera sub-title-don’t you!!  REALLY love the title with buttons, twine & stickers to highlight that focal photo!!

Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us Noelle!!

Happy Tuesday! I have the pleasure of introducing this month’s Memory Mania Masters Kit to you featuring products from BoBunny’s Family Is collection. The first layout I want to share is a layout of my Brother-in-law and his precious family.

The bright colors contained in this collection really went well with these beach portraits. My second layout featured various photos of my very, very funny middle child.

If you are a non-chronological scrapbooker, this line works beautifully with photos that may be of the same subject, but not taken on the same day or in this case, the same year. I also loved the scrabble like paper. It goes perfectly with her personality. Hope this will inspire you to scrapbook this week!

Good morning scrappers!!

Sorry its such a rainy day, but I’m sure the sun will be out by lunch

So, are you loving “Just Because” line as much as we are??   How many layouts can you complete -the possibilities are endless.

KUDOS to Stephanie for these 2 inspiring layouts!!   Love the tearing-how fast & easy to add dimension to your layouts.  If you haven’t yet created a layout of you & your sweetheart this year-don’t wait another minute-this is the perfect paper to do that!!

Love, love the collage title & embellishment and oh my goodness-how much FUN are these pics?  Another inspiration from this layout is to “be silly” and take pics-when we are old & grey, it would be nice to remember we once had a lot of energy  lol.

Are you loving this JUST BECAUSE line by Little Yellow Bicycle?  I just loved the bright happy colors!!  What is it that gets you excited about scrappin’?   is it colors? Patterns, Pictures?  I have to say I’m a color girl!!!

Noelle Landry inspires us with these 2 layouts.  I just love how she used all of these embellishments to showcase these photos!!

Yep-if you’re thinking happy colors-they will work for pictures for  the happiest place on Earth?  yep- these papers worked just great for Noelle’s recent trip to Disney!!
I appreciate all of the inspiration from our awesome design team and you can get even more inspired from  LYB website .  ENJOY!!

Please take a few moments to yourself & pic out some pics & get scrappin’

Happy Thursday! Today I wanted to share layouts and cards from this month’s Masters Kit which featured products using the Just Because line from Little Yellow Bicycle. Included are several 12 X 12 papers, a 6 X 6 paper pad, letter and phrase stickers, journaling cards, and a crafting kit. My only wish was that I would have had more time; I have plenty of items left over to make more layouts and cards.

With the 6X6 paper pad, I quickly created these cards in about 10 minutes. And yes, I do not consider myself a carmaker, but this was easy and fun!

I was so happy to get this layout completed! This was our first time snow tubing, and luckily the kit was sitting on my table as I went through our photos from the weekend. Here I used the circle to emphasize the snow tubes. Add some gray stamp ink, a white gel pen and letter stickers and you have a very quick and easy layout.

FInally, my new favorite layout! If you have ever scrapbooked or taken a class from me, you know that I typically scrapbook to share the story, not chronologically.  This idea is from a book entitled Dear Me, Letters to My 16 Year Old Self. I LOVED the idea, and I had the photos to support the story. Thankfully, the color scheme of Just Because worked perfectly with my photos from the last century! I STRONGLY encourage you to get your story scrapbooked. My girls love looking in their scrapbooks, but could not stop asking me questions about my childhood after seeing this layout. Remember that you need to include yourself into your scrapbooks and writing a letter to yourself is a great way to do it.

Have a wonderful week!
