Two More Layouts

I've been having fun scrapping this past week. My goal was to use paper packs that hadn't been touched yet. Yes, you could call me a paper horder! Close to My Heart comes out with so many pretty paper packs I just have to have them, then
they sit around for awhile. This layout was done with the Perfect Day Level 2 paper pack. (X7100B) Loved the colors in it; Juniper, Sorbet and Tulip. I also used Exclusive Ink Stamp pad in Juniper (Z2165) and Cocoa (Z2114). Another fun thing I used on this layout was the Flip Flap Memory Protectors (Z4114). As you can see, this picture was taken with the layouts in Memory Protectors (4110). On each page, on top of the memory protectors is a booklet that opens to show more pictures. The Flip Flap system helps when you have lots of photos, but still just want a two page spread.



This layout was put together with the help of Close to My Heart's how-to book, Imagine (9030). These books have really helped me out this week! I really love the way this one came together.
Supplies used:
My Reflections Free Spirit paper pack Level 2 (X7088B)
Exclusive Inks stamp pads: Cocoa, Indian Corn Blue and Honey

I'm Scrapping!

I've been busy putting some scrapbook pages together lately. I am so far behind in scrapping. I can't wait for Close To My Heart's Studio J (digital scrapbooking) to be open for consultants to start using. My plan is to scrap events that happened awhile ago digitally, while still scrapping the classic way for the more recent events. Studio J will be released to customers this spring!
