Memory Keeping:: Layout Share – bright and fun

I’ve been doing a LOT of digi-scrapping lately and I think these are the last two layouts I have to share from the backlog.

Kit for both layouts:  “Little Inner Minds ” from Little Feet Digital Designs.    I just love the fun bright colors of this kit and all those lovely embellishments!

Ski-Like-Crazy-WEB

 

Template:  Vim & Vigor t3 by Jimbo Jambo designs

I loved this template as a way to showcase the beautiful patterned papers from the kit, without overwhelming the photo of Charlie and the girls sking this past winter.  The girls jackets go great with the papers!  (but really didn’t plan that at all hee hee)

Inner-Mind-WEB

Template:  Vim & Vigor t2 by Jimbo Jambo designs

I love this template for all the circular elements.   It was perfect to showcase all the awesome journaling strips and (swoon) badges that come in this kit!  I don’t really make a lot of layouts just for fun, I’m usually trying to tell the story but I took this opportunity to just have fun with making something and I really like the way it came out!

 

More layouts to come, am trying to stay up to date with posting 😉    What are you working on in your corner of the world?

 

Memory Keeping:: Layout Share – using vintage photos

Since last fall, I’ve been on a mission to shape up our “family archives” (another topic for several more blog posts) I’ve been scanning and digitizing, and also doing a little scrapbooking along the way.  The interesting things about using vintage photos from the archives is, I don’t really know the story behind the photos, so it makes story telling challenging.  Or maybe we just let the photos tell the story.

Kit for both layouts:  “Stories of Dad ” from Little Feet Digital Designs.    Janet excels in creating beautiful vintage kits!

LFDD-S.O.D.-Album-cover-WEB

This layout is destined to be the cover page for albums that my sister and I made up from photo albums of my dad as a little boy.  I don’t usually work in 8.5×11 format so it was fun to change it up a little.  No journaling, just the facts about the photos in the book.

The-3-Triggs-Men-WEB

Perusing my digi-stash of photos I found this one of my Grandpa, Dad and Uncle.  This was taken before I was born so obviously I can’t write a contemporary account, so I really wrote about my impressions seeing the photo and the memories of each individual that it triggered.

The journaling reads:  “1961- Clover Hills Drive, Rochester NY Grandpa Triggs, Dad and Uncle Jimmy hamming it up for the camera. I have not really come across a photo of all three Triggs men together. Lord knows, there are enough photos floating around to pick from. I love this photo as everyone is smiling, and it typifies how I remember everyone. Grandpa in his dress shirt and slacks (I never saw him wear anything else, except maybe a short sleeve dress shirt if it got really hot, and always a solid color). Dad in a plaid shirt, and khaki pants (his uniform of choice today, except *gasp* now there just might be a pair of “dungarees” in the mix) no doubt making some pithy comment about the entire situation that has cracked the other two up (still does that to this day). Uncle Jimmy in his flight jacket, which always fascinated me (of course he flew little planes so he needed that warm jacket), I asked him once how I could get one just like it and he said he could get me one just like his, but it might have a little blood on it (typical Uncle Jimmy). Yes, Grandpa and his boys, in the driveway on a crisp autumn day”

I love this layout, I’m super happy with the way it came out.

Thanks for stopping by… More goodies in the works, what projects are you working on?

 

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…

LFDD-TGO-TDD_MLOH_Scrapbooklady_template-8-photos-WEB

 

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.

Memory Keeping:: Layout Share – Not Enough Caffeine

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.

 

2015-3-20-Not-enough-Caffeine-Lent-WEB

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.
