Layouts

2008-12-16T10:58:00.000-08:00

It's been awhile since I updated this blog. So I thought I would share the layouts I have done since then.

Layout Always Remember

2008-10-06T13:02:00.000-07:00

This is another layout of The National D Day Memorial. I'm not a hundred percent thrilled with it but it's done. The picture's are my main focus so I try not to add so many embellishments. I still feel like I need something else here but I'm not sure what. I did the journaling on another layout.

I Won!!!

2008-09-30T19:35:00.001-07:00

I have been in a sketch class for scrapbooking in September. They give away prize packs every week and this week I won! I will receive prize packs from Fiskars, Teresa Collins and Work in Progress. I'm so excited!
If you are a scrapbooker and have never heard of the Got Sketch classes I encourage you to check them out. The classes are awesome and very reasonably priced. You can learn more by clicking on the button at the top of this post.

Layout Honor and Respect

2008-09-26T11:52:00.000-07:00

This is a layout of the National D Day Memorial in Bedford, VA.

Layout You & Me

2008-09-10T19:05:00.000-07:00

This is another layout based on a sketch from class.

Layout Chelsea at 13

2008-09-09T12:06:00.000-07:00

This is another layout based on a sketch from class.
I'm not happy with the rub on that I used on the right side. It just doesn't seem to fit. I wish I could get rid of it without doing the layout over. On the other hand it's a layout that is finished. I have had these photo's in my "To Do" pile for two years.

Layout Chelsea's Birthday

2008-09-05T12:08:00.000-07:00

This is a layout that I did from Sketch 59 by Got Sketch.
I did this layout for my nieces 15th birthday.

Fall Layout

2008-09-04T11:25:00.000-07:00

This is a very simple layout from a Sketch 101 class. I am so far behind in scrapbooking that I am trying to get caught up. One of the hardest things for me has been coming to terms with the fact that not every page has to be a work of art.
This layout is from the Fall of 2006. I can't wait for the colors to start changing so I can take a bunch of new photos to scrap.

Life in Bloom

2008-09-01T10:49:00.000-07:00

This is a layout of my 15 year old niece. The flower isn't this bright IRL. The light bounced off of the glitter in the center of the flower.

I haven't been scrap booking for the last couple of weeks. I had shoulder surgery and it's taking some time to heal. I have layouts planned so I can get back to work ASAP.

Hugs,

My Space Layout

2008-07-02T14:25:00.000-07:00

This is just a fun layout that I did of my scrapbook room. The quote say's "She who dies with the most scrapbooks...Lives on!"
This is based on another sketch from the Sketch 101 Class.

Monster Truck Layout

2008-06-23T13:47:00.001-07:00

This is a layout that I did of my nephew Colby playing with the monster truck we gave him. I seldom use stickers but these were perfect for this layout.

Another Birthday Layout

2008-06-20T13:09:00.001-07:00

This is another layout that I did with the pictures from our birthday. The layout below is for my nieces album. This one will go in my album. I used a sketch from Page Maps for this one.

Sketch #4

2008-06-19T12:19:00.000-07:00

This is sketch #4 from the class I am taking online. It's from our birthday's. I like how this one turned out.

MIA This Week

2008-06-18T13:11:00.000-07:00

We had a death in the family on Sunday. My husbands cousin took his life. He was a 42year old husband, dad, grandpa and son. Please pray for his family.

I will be trying to get some layouts done in the next few weeks. I will be having surgery on my shoulder on July 10th. I am in pain most of the time and that is really taking a lot out of my scrapbooking. It's hard to work on a layout and be creative when your in pain. Hopefully the surgery will take care of the problem and I will be able to scrap and enjoy it.

I signed up for Sketch 101 today. I love her work and can't wait to get started.

Why I Scrapbook

2008-06-15T23:00:00.001-07:00

No layouts today just photos to do them with. These are two of the reasons I scrapbook. My niece Chelsea who just turned 15 and my nephew Colby who is 3. My nephew runs from the camera and Chelsea told him to just give it up that I will just keep after him. She's right.

I took these on Father's Day at Chelsea's 15th birthday party. We had a combined birthday/Fathers Day cookout.
I hope to get some layouts done this week. I have three doctor's appointments this week so I will have to see what I can get done.

Belated Birthday Layout

2008-06-10T17:33:00.001-07:00

I am not very happy with this layout or the one before this. I am having a hard time doing little boy pages. I am used to doing girly girl layouts. I have tons of embellishments and paper for my nieces pages but very little for my nephew.
This is my last layout but like I said I am not happy with it. I did get a layout done though and the pictures are safe. In the end that's all that really matters.
The journal area and the twill border look crooked in the photo for some reason.

I have one more layout to do of Colby and it's with his monster truck. Heaven help me I bought stickers for that.

One Out of Three

2008-06-06T22:47:00.000-07:00

I didn't get three layouts done this week but I did get one finished. This is my three year old nephew Colby. He usually won't let me take pictures of him but he was being sillt this time.
I usually don't use dye cuts but this layout seemed to call for it. This is just a simple layout. I wanted to use all of the photos so it didn't leave a lot of room to add embellishments.

A Bad Day

2008-06-04T17:40:00.000-07:00

I am not feeling well today. The high temperatures here are causing my MS to act up. I am just to tired to scrapbook or sit at the computer much. Maybe tomorrow I will feel better.
Hugs,
Lisa Ann

2008-06-03T16:57:00.000-07:00

I haven't scrapbooked yet this week. I had company yesterday and today I just had a lot to do.
I did order a few scrapbook supplies last night. I got some big flowers and some felt Fusion ribbon and a Sizzix die of a birthday cake. I can't wait to get the cake die so I can scrap some pictures of my nephew who just turned three.

I am really excited about the "Page Maps" book that came yesterday. This book is really helping me get excited about scrapbooking again. I have a hard time thinking up layouts and this will help a lot. I have other sketch books but they don't measure up.
So tomorrow I scrap. Wish me luck!
Hugs,
Lisa Ann

Not Bad

2008-05-30T20:29:00.001-07:00

I did two layouts this week. That's pretty darn good for me. I am still aiming for three a week though. If anyone is even looking at this blog stay tuned to see if I make it to three next week.
Something has really been ticking me off recently. I have left dozens of comments on scrapbooking blogs this week and not one person has returned the visit. I am not overly impressed with this "community" and am thinking of moving my blog.

Page Two First Prom Layout

2008-05-29T12:31:00.002-07:00

Here's the second page for the "First Prom" layout I posted yesterday. Since the sketch I used didn't have a second page I tried to use it as a jumping off place.
Page One

Page 2

Lisa Ann

First Prom Layout

2008-05-28T15:53:00.001-07:00

This is a layout of my niece Chelsea's first prom. This was in 2007 so it's taken me a little while to get it done. This is just the first page. I used a sketch from Got Sketch it's sketch number 55. Check out her site

Hugs,
Lisa Ann

Layout One

2008-05-26T19:27:00.001-07:00

Here is my first layout for this week. This is from a Martina McBride concert. I used gray and black Bazzil cardstock, black twill with eyelets for the border, the Lucy font by Quickutz and some rub on's from QVC.

Hugs,
Lisa Ann

My Scrapbook Room

2008-05-26T17:49:00.000-07:00

I gave my scrapbook room a mini makeover. The cluttered look just didn't do it for me. I didn't want to spend a lot of money so I only bought a couple of things. I picked up four large photo boxes to replace the plastic shoe boxes and I purchased a "ribbon purse" to hold most of my ribbon.
This is what it looked like before.

This is the after shot of my desk. I finally got the old computer set up in here.

This is another before shot of the room. My desk is L shaped which works great when I am working.

Here's the after picture.

The only thing I didn't have to change is my paper storage. I bought both of these from Cropper Hopper a couple of years ago.

So that's a mini tour of my scrapbooking space.
Hugs,
Lisa Ann

Welcome

2008-05-26T17:21:00.000-07:00

I have been scrapbooking for nine years. Over the last couple of years I have done a few layouts but just can't get back in the swing of things.

After trying to get my scrapbook room more organized I became overwhelmed by the amount of things I have. I didn't know where to start. My room was organized to a point but there was just so much stuff that I couldn't put like things all in the same place. It was just to much.

After that I decided that I have to start scrapbooking again. I have invested to much money to quit. Not to mention all of the precious photos waiting to be put into scrapbooks.

I am challenging myself to do three, double page, 12 x 12 layout's a week. I will post them here when I am finished.

I am a simple scrapbooker that cares more about my photo's than embellishments. If you like to use tons of pattern paper or embellishments then you probably won't like my work. There is no wrong way to scrapbook. I believe that our scrapbook style shows our individual personalities.

I hope you find something here that you like. Please leave a comment. I love to visit other blogs.
Hugs,
Lisa Ann
