For some reason I cannot get enough of all of these pastel colors! I had printed a ton of photos from early spring and last spring and I am having a blast scrapbooking all of them! Today's layout features a fun grab five and three photos! I know that there is a huge trend with only one photo, but to be honest, I don't want 3,000 albums in the end. I'm trying to combine photos onto fewer pages without cramping them or making it ugly. So, today is all about that! Here's an overview of what I created.



My pick 5 consisted of Tim Holtz tiny word stickers (the holiday edition), a fun wood veneer glittered square from Project Life, a die-cut pack from Elle's Studio (Thankful bits and pieces), my brand new Citrus Bliss 6x6 paper pad (thanks Kate for sending it!), and last, but not least is my fun gold bunny cake toppers (only 59 cents!). So, that's what I used as my inspiration for this layout! I hope you all enjoy the process video that I've recorded for it. I'll have more detailed shots and products listed down below! If you guys liked when I actually found the products on amazon and listed the links I can start doing that again (but let me tell you, Amazon has some expensive prices!) Just let me know if you want help finding a product or you're wondering where I got mine from (I usually buy in person anyway).



I started with a 12x12 piece of patterned paper from the Sea Glass collection from Craft Smith (the Michael's hot buy papers) then used my Citrus Bliss 6x6 papers to give some more color to the layout by backing my photos with it. The border sticker through the middle of the layout which gives my photos some ground is by Jot (the dollar tree brand).


This is my favorite cluster on the whole page and I'm glad to have finally used one of these giant wood veneer pieces. I didn't want to draw anymore attention away from the photos than I already had, so I decided to use the "fun" as part of my title. I created a fun cluster to the left of my title to gather more interest. The bunny is from Wilton, the washi tape is from a friend, the butterfly is from Recollections, and the tiny word sticker is from Tim Holtz!


All of the photos are backed with some Citrus Bliss papers. I also used the paper pad to create the vertical border on the right side. This will help ground the photos. The cluster you see here it made up of Elle's Studio die cuts, Pretty Little Studio stickers, and some Tim Holtz tiny word stickers! I love the way the pink and the blue look together. It's the second layout I've made this month with this color scheme!


To complete the layout I used some of these Fancy Pants Office Suite die cuts and another tiny word sticker. I loved making a multi photo layout for once! I hope you all enjoyed, thank you so much for stopping by!

I tried another new color combo for my scrappy taste, but love the way it turned out! Mint and pink is all the rage in washi tapes and probably other things too, but I didn't think I owned many things in this color scheme. Seems as though I found enough to make a layout! The weirdest thing is, this paper by Kaiser Craft is more about love than cats, but the color was too perfect not to use.


The papers I used to mat under my photo are from DCWV - The Sweet Stack and one from KI Memories. The gray diagonal striped paper is from Prima - Hello Spring and I used a Recollections border punch. This photo is just a photo of my kitten named Honey playing underneath the curtains. She's so cute! I think this is a good opportunity to challenge you all to get a photo from a different perspective. I laid on the floor for this one, but there's plenty of options to try out! I hope you get some fun photos!




To finish off this layout I used a rub-on from American Crafts and some bling above a fun title. The pink alpha are Amy Tangerine Thickers, the lighter pink alpha stickers are from K&Company and the white alpha stickers are from Sticko, I hope you all enjoyed this layout, It was a fun color combo to work with! Thank you so much for stopping by!

It's the last video of this week, but it's another fun one, I promise! I hope you've enjoyed this week of the same event, but scrapping the photos different ways (kinda, sorta). Today is the last pocket page process of this section and it features the dreaded bed of nails! Duh, duh, duh!! If you missed my previous page you can find it here! I hope you enjoy my design, especially since I had no plan from the beginning. Somehow it worked out, but you can see my process video down below!




On this photo I used a wood veneer word that says imagine from Michael's, a white ticket rub-on from American Crafts, a blue chipboard tag from Heidi Grace, and a little star sticker from Pretty Little Studio. This photo shows my boyfriend, Sam, laying on the bed of nails! I was too chicken to do it.


I had a great time dressing up this filler card. The two die-cuts are from Shimelle, the word sticker is from Simple Stories - Carpe Diem, the washi tape is from the dollar store, and the blue enamel dot is from Jolee's Boutique. I absolutely loved the way this one turned out!


Just a simple bit of decoration on this journaling card. This adorable wood veneer light bulb is from Basic Grey and I incorporated the same washi throughout all of the pages. I think it's important to try to keep something similar over pages that go together. It'll really help it flow, even if the color scheme sorta changes!


This other simple filler card featured a die-cut from Elle's Studio and a label (as a layer) from Elle's Studio as well. To lighten up this layout, I used a white doily and some more blue gems.


Lastly, I added a few bits to this bottom photo. All of these products have already been mentioned earlier. If you guys have any questions, please let me know! I hope you enjoyed and thank you so much for stopping by!

 Last, but not least for this blog post is this really fun filler card I created. Although my overall color scheme of the pocket pages for this event changed, I tried to keep similar components the same, like these blue and white dots and the stars. This filler is one of my favorites! The stamp is by Elle's Studio (so cute!), sequins are from Craft Medley, the stars from Heidi Swapp and the rub-on is from American Crafts! I hope you enjoyed this insert that I created! I'll be back one more time this week with my final pocket page! Thanks for stopping by, now tell me what was your favorite part of this page!

I have an exciting week of videos planned for you all! It's a three part video series where I show you how I'm documenting one event! In total there will be three videos two full page pocket pages and then an insert. I hope you enjoy them! Today I am sharing the first pocket page!






I am just so in love with how the first page came out that I had to film the rest of them for you, so be sure to come back and check out the other two pocket pages I created this week! Thank you so much for stopping by and be sure to tell me what some of your plans are for the summer and how you plan to document them! (As a disclaimer, this event took place earlier this year. I am not that fast at printing and scrapbooking!) I hope you enjoyed!

It's another fine day for another video on my channel! This one was quite the doozie. I picked out 5 things and was super excited to use them. Then, one thing went down hill. First, I'll tell you waht I picked for my pick 5 challenge. I chose a teal ink pad, some white die-cut flowers, Freckled Fawn washi tape, My Mind's Eye Happy Place 6x6 paper pad, and some Jillibean Soup glitter chipboard alphas. Now, I dare you to guess what went wrong!


As you can probably now tell from the layout, the glitter letters seem to be almost non-existent (thank goodness for &). I opened up that package of letters and there were no c's, e's, or f's and I'm sure other letters if I looked hard enough, but I couldn't spell what I wanted to. :( In the video you'll see me sift through all of my other letter stickers to find something to fit. I'm still happy with the results and I did complete my pick 5 challenge!



This process video was a lot of fiddling around and I'm sorry that it might not have been that entertaining. I loved the way my ink blended flowers came out. These flowers are about 6 years old if not older and I'm finally breaking them out and using them!





The last trendy product I want to talk about are these itty bitty letter stickers and word stickers. Let me tell you, I don't think I could ever live without them again. Of course, I won't buy more until I've used a substantial amount of these ones (or a really good clearance pack). How do you all monitor your stash? I'm trying to get a lot of pages done this summer while I can! Thanks for stopping by and I hoped you enjoyed this layout!

This layout was not meant to become a mixed media layout, but somehow my hands got messy and I used my paints and pastes. I'm very happy with the outcome of this layout because at the start I had no idea what my plan was! Enjoy the process video!


The two beautiful photos on the layout were taken by yours truly. We love all of the butterflies that come to visit our garden. This year we're actually making a butterfly feeder for them! These particular butterflies are swallowtails. I just adore how beautiful they are.



I am not entirely sure what happened in this top left cluster, but it's definitely not my favorite. The yellow of this word is just a tiny bit off, but I can live with it. Then, I am so bad at stamping roller stamps! Why is it so hard for me?!?!

I used some paper from Prima to mat under my photo and featured this lovely cork tag from Michael's. All of the felt pieces are from Oriental Trading and I have been hoarding these as well. I have two sheets of three colors. No one needs that much felt!!


Some other things that I've been hoarding on this layout include the date die-cut piece, blue alphabet stickers, flower pins, and the sticky stitches in the bottom left corner! Yay for stash bashing!


I hope you all enjoyed this masculine layout of my cat Ted! He's glad you stopped by and I am too! Thank you so much guys!

Oh my goodness! Hello again! I have a very exciting project to share with you all today and it involves saving money and discovering new techniques! I have a video explaining it, but don't worry I'll have a similar explanation below as well. I ended up making a card with the outcome of my ink blending and really love the way it turned out.





To add some fun to the card I used some yellow ribbon, dimensional adhesive, and some black sequins. I also happened to use my Cuttlebug for the first time in forever and used the classic Swiss Dots embossing folder.


This little stamp was on clearance at Tuesday Morning and I have no idea the brand or anything. Just a cute little wood mounted stamp. I stamped it in my Staz-On black ink. I made another card using the flowers that I had leftover too. Both cards just scream summer time and sunshine!

Hello, hello, hello! I hope you're excited for another layout share! I'm having so much fun with my entire stash finally at my fingertips. This layout ended up becoming Spring themed. I really love how it turned out though.


The background paper is from the Sea Glass collection. I love this pretty shade of green! I then picked out these Little Yellow Bicycle flower stickers and decided I must use them up! If you're looking for some motivation to use up your stash check out the Jenny Culver No Buy Group on Facebook. We have fun challenges and lots of inspiration!

This photo is of my little cat named Honey on top of me. She has a habit of wanting to lay on your shoulder at random times, but she prefers my dad or boyfriend as her ideal sitting spot and not me! But this time she chose me (hence the title)! So, I used some paper from the Prima Hello Spring 6x6 to mat the photo. Then made this fun cluster on the right side including some washi tape, ribbon, stamping, a gold glitter bunny (from the baking section), the flowers I picked out, a doily, and a gem!

The background paper for this layout is by Studio Calico called Notches. Then, I used some tissue paper and some Prima polka dot paper to mat my photo. My title is made out of two alphas, the red glitter by Heidi Swapp and the white glitter by Heidi Grace Designs. This adorable little banner is a rub-on by American Crafts.

This blog post was a wee bit different than my other ones because all I did was talk about random scrappy things, but hopefully that's okay with you all! If you have any questions about products or techniques feel free to ask. Thanks for stopping by guys!
