Different Perspective


Hi everyone, Cristina here to share with you a project life layout created using Designs A,D, and G pocket pages. I had so many pictures I wanted to add that I decided to add Design G. The pictures in today's layout is of my son during each track meet for the season. 


A little story: Years ago I was a huge fanatic for scrapbook layouts and it would literally take me hours, days, weeks just to finish 1 (yes 1 lol) layout. I had to have the perfect embellishments, paper, I mean you name it. I loved it don't get me wrong but it took me so much time. I took a break from scrapbooking because I was no longer having fun. It was maybe a year later that happen to run into Becky Higgins project life video.






As crazy as it may sound I cried, I had forgotten why I was preserving memories. I was taking the fun away by putting pressure on myself. What picture do I pick out of a handful when I want to use them all. Well the video changed the way I do things currently. It's so much easier and no pressure at all. I use as many pictures as I want and if I want to add embellishments I add them but  sometimes I just put them in the pockets and leave them as is, Simple=Happiness 




I hope you enjoyed today's layout and maybe helped you out if you are in the same boat as I was. Make it fun, make it simple, make it memorable. Till next time thanks for stopping by.

Building Block Graduation Card

Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8 ...
