10 Faves @10

As part of the March Mini Madness at write.click.scrapbook, I made and shared a mini album using Karla Dudley's  The Good Stuff and The Good Stuff Add-Ons at Pixels and Company. 

For my mini album, I wanted to capture 10 things about my son while he's 10 years old. I wasn't sure if I wanted to bind the pages together for an album, or if I wanted to add the pages to my Project Life album. I decided to design the pages at  3" x 4" (really 2.88" x 4" in the Project Life brand pocket pages) so that I could create one album and print it twice to create both options!  

I used a similar format for each page to provide cohesion to the album and to allow for quick assembly. I repeated the same background paper, used a single photo and paper strip, and then added washi tape, flair buttons and word strips to embellish each.

A throw-back photo! I can't imagine my baby was ever that little. Such a sweetie!

St. Louis Field Trip

I love the watercolor look to these journal cards by Creashens at Pixels and Company! They added a great soft feel to the layout about our field trip.

New Bedding

I've been meaning to do a LO about my new bedding for some time! I'm just so happy with the colors - gray with accents of aqua. I included my favorites of chevrons and hexagons, but softened the geometric design with some flower accents.

I Adore You

I love this photo of us. I had some trepidation on using pink, since I don't really like to use that color on a layout about my son, but I really love this color scheme and how it turned out! I also love the ombre effect on the background paper. Do you have a color that you avoid?

Snow Day

So many of the snow events have been when it's super cold or when the boy was sick, so he couldn't go outside and play in it. We finally got some snow the he could play in!

Best Friends

It's March Mini Madness month at write.click.scrapbook! The gallery is FULL of examples of different kinds of mini albums for the Mini Madness IV gallery. I created this mini album for my son to take with us on trips. He really misses our dog Copper when we're gone and she can't come along! Looking at pictures of her makes him happy.

Muggles

More from our Orlando trip - at Universal's Wizarding World of Harry Potter. The boy and I are big fans of the books and movies, and were really excited to step into the recreation of that world. I did this layout as part of the Jumpstart January Challenge in the forums at Pixels & Company.

Disney Planning

Time to check out the brand new gallery for February at write.click.scrapbook, TechLove. Probably like many digital scrapbookers, I love me some tech!! I heavily relied on technology, primarily my iphone and its various apps, for planning and enjoying our recent trip to Orlando.

Here's my contribution to TechLove:

Disney Vacation

My overview layout of our recent Disney vacation with photos of us at each of the park icons. I LOVE Scotty Girl Design's This Year 2014 line - I can already tell that I'll be using it a LOT! It also matches very well with her Disney-ish kits, to mix and match!

2014 Calendar

I love making hybrid calendars - make one, print many! They are great gifts and easy to have at home, work, wherever! I designed this year's to be 3x4 so I could slip it into my Project Life album once the year's over.

Fly a Kite

What better activity for a windy day than to make and *try* to fly a homemade kite! Newspaper, tape, ribbon and skewers, and voila!

Raking Leaves

I just love fall colors and photos with piles of leaves! I created this layout using the March 2013 sketch at write.click.scrapbook for my Day 3 post about getting more from your sketches or templates. I thought the layering was perfect to use different fun papers and also tie into the piles of leaves.
