With so many memories to document, and so little time, I’ve decided to try a different approach to my scrapbooking—more doing, less thinking. Meaning, I start with a basic design, then just add layers and elements without rearranging so much, just kind of “go with the flow” and let things kind of come together on their own.

Sometimes you just want to say “hi” and tell someone they make you happy. Today’s card is bright and cheerful with a hint of summer thrown in. All with the help of Fiskars’ Life is Sweet stamp set and some Summer Splash paper from Carta Bella.

It’s cold outside, but somehow we still have plants growing inside! Today’s project is a clean and simple 8 ½ x 11” layout of our little pine tree sprout that sits on the windowsill.

There is so much to scrapbook during the holiday season and so many products to help you do it! If you’re short on time, but still want to have fun using all the fun supplies you bought, I would recommend trying an 8 ½ by 11 layout. This gives you just enough room to use your products, but on a smaller scale– especially if you just have one picture of a memory you want to capture.

When the candy corn comes out in the stores, Halloween is not far behind. For my project today, I did a 12 x 12 inch layout of the first bag of candy corn of the season. It’s completely gone already of course, but I still have the picture! I used Echo Park’s Bewitched Collection Kit for the entire page except for some older Thickers I had in my drawer for the title.

With school back in session and the weather getting cooler, it’s time to start thinking about Fall festivities. There are tons of things I like to do this time of year, and as a scrapbooker, documenting is half the fun! New themed scrapbook supplies make it even better. For today’s project, I thought it would be fun instead of a Post-It, to write my Fall “to do” list on the pages of a traveler’s notebook.

Every once in awhile our creative spark can disappear for whatever reason. You want to create something, but you just stare at that stamp set or paper pad and just can’t figure out what to do with it. This is where a sketch can come in handy. Sketches are pretty popular–there are even blog challenges that offer prizes when you create something using their sketch. I use sketches a lot and actually, when I create a card, I usually draw out a sketch to go with it so I can use it for another project later on.
