Welcome to the
Write.Click.Scrapbook. 4-year birthday celebration blog hop! I'm so glad you're here! I remember four years ago when some of the women involved with Simple Scrapbook Magazine launched this site. I wouldn't have imagined that four years later I would be a part of such a talented group of women, sharing our layouts, stories, and inspiration on a daily basis.
In the spirit of what Write.Click.Scrapbook. is all about, I'm sharing three tips today!
Before I go to sleep every night, I jot down the highlights of the day in a Moleskine daily planner. This is the 3rd year I've done this and it's become an invaluable tool to me to remember my days. Last year I also wrote an entry everyday in
Oh Life, all 366 days!
Use a self-timer and get in the photo! Your family will be glad to see photos of you in the years to come.
Make a list of all the techniques or supplies you would like to try or use. Cut each into a strip of paper roll them up and put them into a jar. Next time you are stuck creatively, pull out any random three and use that to jump start your scrapbooking.
Our June gallery theme is Year 4 Favorite. My layout was inspired by Katie Ehmann's
post about only using papers on your layout. A myriad of papers!
My layout: Date Night
Supplies: cardstock (American Crafts) + patterned paper (American Crafts Amy Tangerine, Dear Lizzy, Studio Calico) + stamps (American Crafts) + ink (Memento) + pen (Sharpie) + punches (Fiskars, Marvy Uchida, McGill) + digital graphic (Ali Edwards) + digital die cutter (Silhouette America) + adhesives (Scotch, Glue Dots, Tombow) + stapler (Advantus) + font (Blackout)
I cut strips of patterned paper. Then I cut them into squares. Then from there I cut the squares diagonally into triangles and lined them up and adhered them to my layout.
Also, in case you missed it this week... I hosted a week of posts at Write.Click.Scrapbook. all about hybrid scrapbooking and crafting!

ReplyDeleteGreat layout it's a good way to use pieces of scraps. I love the layered look. It is hard for me to gage when there is enough layering. I don't want it to look like I threw up a bunch of papers and embellishments :). It's a work in progress. You definitely out did yourself with the Hybrid tips.
ReplyDeleteI love your tip about using "oh life" I have that too, but rarely add to it.
