Memory Keeping:: Layout Share – Love, Oregon

Posted in Digital Scrapbooking, Documenting Life, Layouts, Memory Keeping, Scrapbooking by Sue

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.

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!)

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… Lots more to upload soon.

Memory Keeping:: Layout Shares

Posted in Digital Scrapbooking, Documenting Life, Layouts, Memory Keeping, Scrapbooking by Sue

Hi all! Well, as you can imagine with the holiday craziness, there has not been a lot of memory keeping or stitching going on around here…although there has been a fair bit of knitting(!) I wanted to share one of my latest pages. These photos are from the photo scanning project I’ve been working on. I’m scanning hundreds of slides from our “family archives” and I have to say, I’m very impressed with the quality of the resulting images. I have been trying to work out how to handle these images and I think since they are already in digital format, I will most likely use them for digital pages rather than printing them out and scrapbooking with paper supplies, we’ll see.

Well, this may be the last trick or treat… not sure but boy do they still like collecting candy! For this I used Little Feet Digital Designs new kit “Hocus Pocus”. There are so many fun elements in this kit, and I completely took to the glitter. I overlaid the glitter spider web element on top of the spiderweb paper and voila…doubly creepy!

Memory Keeping:: Layout Shares !

Posted in Digital Scrapbooking, Documenting Life, In the Studio, Layouts, Make Stuff, Memory Keeping, Scrapbooking by Sue

I think the turning of the seasons is inspiring me to tidy up…last week the kitchen pantry closet…this week my blog ;-). I realized that I have not posted any layouts from this year on my blog. Last Sunday I did a big photo shoot of all memory keeping efforts on paper and I’ve been slowly going through and editing and uploading, so you’ll be seeing posts as I get different sections of the blog/website completed! Today was Layouts 2014 Jan – Sept…I’ve highlighted one of my faves below but you can see the whole gallery HERE!
