Memory Keeping:: Layout Share – Zip!

 

Stop the presses…two posts in two days!  I know, craziness!  I wanted to share the latest digital layout I’ve done….the SAME DAY of the EVENT!  Complete insanity…

Yup, my family went ziplining/adventure course-ing…see me in that group photo? nope!  See my hubby and kids?  yup!  I was tempted truly but it was a little too high off the ground on some pretty skinny things that would require looking down…while you are suspended in the air.  Yeah, nope….I took in the exhibition on The Wyeths:  America Reflected  (which was fabulous, if you are anywhere near Sandwich, MA-try and get to it, well worth your time) and walked up to the Adventure park just in time to watch everyone swing like monkeys.  Fun to watch and I’m sure even more fun to do.

Kit:  “The Great Outdoors” from  Little Feet Digital Designs.    My dear friend and partner in crime, Janet is so talented, I hope I’m doing her kits justice.  She just opened up a new shop at Pickleberrypop (I know, it’s so much fun to say!)  so if you’re a digi-scrapper, scoot on over there and check out her shop, I know she will be adding new kits asap.

Template:  The Daily Digi’s bonus kit My Life of Happiness / Scrapbook Lady.  If you’re not familiar with TDD, they offer a great subscription plan as well as tons of information on digi-scrapping on their blog.

Thanks for taking a look, more goodies to upload later this week.

 

 

 

may june and now july???

Yes, holy moly yes, it’s July4th!  Happy Birthday America!  My favorite holiday, and before we delve into BBQ preparations and finding the bug spray for the fireworks later tonight, I wanted to share a few of the layouts I’ve been working on during my  blog posting silence (which, you are all quite used to by now 😉 )

I’ve been working on layouts for Little Feet Digital Designs the last few days and wanted to share them with you all.  I love Janet’s vintage inspired designs, and there are always bits that make me say oooh!!!! love that! must do a layout!!!  I’m so thrilled for Janet that in addition to her Panstoria store for .page format kits, she will be part of Pickleberrypop very soon for all of us universal format scrappers!!! Yay Janet, so happy for her!!

Supplies for both of these layouts:  Kit:  Life’s Sweet Temptations / LFDD by Janet Carr  Design/ Template:  STR Designs

And the cupcake queens, Gwen and Marielle after their first “baking camp” at Cambridge Culinary Institute, can’t wait to see what they make this summer!

I’ve been working on the “Family Archives” project with my Dad since last October when we dragged slide trays, the projector and screen and boxes of stuff back to my house from Rochester.  I have plans to start a Family History Album and instead of continued dithering over what form that album should take, I decided to just make a couple of pages.  Fortunately, Grandpa Triggs had organized and annotated some family photos so we know who these people are…from over 100 years ago (!)

Gasp!

I know, two posts in less than a month…alert the media.  Today, I wanted to share another digital layout I did last week, this one featuring two of my favorite people.

So I’m the Creative Team Leader for LFDD, and when Janet told me she was working on a Coffee themed kit, my first thought was…oh man, I don’t drink coffee, how am I going to use her kit?!  Never fear, I always come up with something, and I have a few more ideas up my sleeve…  I can’t believe this photo is only 3 years ago, the girls have changed so much in three years!!  This my friends is why I’m a memory keeper, to capture these little moments that will not come this way again.

Kit:  “Coffee Shoppe” from  Little Feet Digital Designs.    My dear friend and partner in crime, Janet has designed the cutest coffee themed kit!

Template from Masterful Scrapbooking Design class:  Single & Pretty (and if you don’t know MSD, get over there pronto!  worth every penny and loads of great stuff!!!) .

Thanks for stopping by… More goodies in the works.

 

Memory Keeping:: Layout Share – Love, Oregon

No, I have not fallen off of the face of the earth

No, I have not fallen in a 7 foot high snow bank (although, you never know around here!)

Yes, we seemed to have survived the record-breaking snowfall here in Boston (and if I never hear the phrase “historic snowfall” again it will be too soon)

Yes, I’ve been making lots of things…lots of memory keeping, sewing, projects, a little knitting, a little cooking

No I have not been diligent about blogging about it.

So there you have it.

LFDD-Multnomah-Falls-WEB

 

I am challenging myself to make a scrapbook layout a day during all 50 days of Lent (more on that in another post) so far so good!  I wanted to start sharing my layouts so here goes… I realized when I saw Janet’s kit “Aure il aug a Oregon” that I have only made one page about my trips to Oregon.  I have a separate  mini-album about my 3 retreat experiences but nothing to share in the main memory keeping albums, so let’s fix that shall we?  On my last trip to Gearhart, we did a little touring on the way back to Portland and our flight home.  I am so glad that we didn’t give in to inertia and just go straight to PDX but took the detour and went to see Multnomah Falls.  Oh my word, stunning, and beautiful and really an easy walk to the main viewing platform.   Little Feet Digital Designs kit was perfect with all the beautifully aged papers (my favorite kind) and natural elements and, hello…that journal card?  swoon!   Can’t wait to make some more pages about my west coast adventures.

Kit:  “Aure il aug a Oregon” from  Little Feet Digital Designs.    Check out Janet’s blog and all of her beautiful kits, gor-ge-ous!  (p.s. Janet was a guest blogger at ScrapStacks Blog this week!  Yay Janet!)
