Lifting Alicia Giess @ My Creative Scrapbook . . .again!

 So when you really, really want to scrapbook, and you have no mojo (wondering if it'll ever come back) you scrap lift. . . and not only did I scrap lift, but I practically lifted the whole layout! 

I'm a super huge fan of Alicia's work and I look forward to her monthly reveals! 

 I'm an 8-1/2 x 11 scrapper, so adjustments always need to be made.

Sketch N Scrap - February 15th, 2022 Reveal - Sketch #243 by Heather Hall

  Good Morning my fellow scrapping friends - 

It's time for the February 15th sketch reveal @ Sketch N Scrap. 

Today I'm working with Sketch #243 by Heather Hall @ Sketch N Scrap! 

This sketch was super easy to work with - I knew I wanted to use these pictures, but since I already had them printed, I was only able to cut them so small . . . 

Sizing is a bit off due to the picture size, but all in all I think it came together quite nicely. 

I loved being able to use "typical girl" colors on this page.

This is definitely a sketch I'd use again as it's easily convertible to my 8-1/2 x 11 needs.

Stick It Down - February 2022 Single Page Sketch Reveal - Summer

     Hello my scrappy friends - Today is reveal day for me @ Stick It Down 

So. . .  I'm super excited to share with you my layout this month using another sketch by Laura Rumble. 

I chose to scrap this picture of my Granddaughter Everly as I already had it printed out. I wound up not using it on a previous layout that I was working on, so it was perfect for this.  Even though the sketch calls for two pics, it was easier for me to just use the one to help with the sizing from 12 x 12 to the 8-1/2 x 11 size that I scrap. The fun part for me was adding embellishment after embellishment - trying to put a dent in the stash! Super fun sketch to work with for sure!!

Sketch N Scrap - February 1st, 2022 Reveal - Sketch # 242 by Lisa Hidy

                               Good morning my fellow scrapping friends! 

Can you believe it's February already??

Today is February 1st and that means it's REVEAL DAY @ Sketch N Scrap and I'm super excited to share with you the layout that I created! 

This month I'm working with Sketch #242 by Lisa Hidy

 @ Sketch N Scrap! 

Another fun sketch to work with this month. It was super easy to convert to my smaller scrapping size, and definitely a sketch that I'll be able to use over and over again. Layout is of my Grandkids - Everly & Harrison at one of our local parks - there are several playgrounds here, a duck pond, and if truth be told - several pokestops as well.

Lifting Alicia Giess @ My Creative Scrapbook

 

Trying to get a jump start on my New Year's Scrapbooking Goal - I've found that the best way for me to do that is to "scraplift" another layout!

 I'm an 8-1/2 x 11 scrapper, so adjustments always need to be made.

Sketch N Scrap - January 15th Sketch #241 by Heather Hall - Layout Reveal

  Good morning my fellow scrapping friends - 

It's time again for my monthly sketch reveal @ Sketch N Scrap. 

For today's reveal I'm working with Sketch #241 by Heather Hall @ Sketch N Scrap! 

This sketch was a lot of fun to work with - once I determined the papers and pictures that I wanted to use, I went to work resizing everything to fit my 8-1/2 x 11 needs. . . I'm pretty pleased with the way it turned out, and even happier that I was able to use mostly scrap pieces on this one (I admit I taped pieces of patterned paper together).

Stick It Down - January 2022 Single Page Sketch Reveal - Beautiful Dancer

    Hello my scrappy friends - Today is reveal day for me @  Stick It Down 

So. . .  I'm super excited to share with you my layout this month using another sketch by Laura Rumble. 

I chose to scrap these two pictures of my Granddaughter Everly taken during one of her Holiday Performances this year. As a grandmother, you hate missing these types of things, but luckily, they understand when you can't be there (sadly we live a couple of states away). Thank goodness my daughter shares in the "need" to photograph things . . . The sketch was a tough one for me this month, and I have to admit that the layout you see now WAS NOT the way I was originally going with it. I just couldn't make it work for me. . . once I found this cut file though, it all came together really, really quickly.
