LOAD 514 Complete!

Another LOAD down and I created 34 layouts! Now this time I wasn't able to post a new layout every single day because I got really busy preparing for our Calabogie scrapbooking weekend but I caught up and was able to do even more. The pages are mostly very simple and some are waiting for stories to come from my parents but I am so thrilled that I got 34 pages done.

Here are my pages:

 

One of my favourite layouts. Front and back of a pocket page detailing events that occurred the year I was born.

 

These next pages were all done in my CTMH My Crush book. It is our version of the Smash album.

 

I will add some school pictures to the empty page

 

 

 

CTMH Ariana paper and Unicorn Dreams stamp (hostess exclusive)

 

one of the pages I did using the CTMH Picture My Life Avonlea card set. Click here to see the whole series.

 

Series of pocket pages I started using the CTMH Timberline paper pack and various coordinating journal cards.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The next series of pages are all done in my childhood album (pocket style scrapbooking)

 

 

The holiday joy photo Christmas card was added to a CTMH flip flap.

Most of the pages in this album are done with the Maggie Holmes products because I loved the vintage look. I bought a core kit at Michaels but got a mini kit and 6x6 paper pads online. I also bought the special square pocket pages online.

 

 

 

Various Maggie Holmes papers and embellishments

 

 

A series of pages I started about one of the pets I had as a child.  

Simple Stories Vintage Bliss paper 

 

Simple Stories, Project Life and Dear Lizzy cards

 

Amy Tangerine paper and embellishments

 

 

DCWV paper pad from Michaels

 

CTMH Laughing Lola Picture My Life cards pack that will go into my 2014 monthly everyday life album. I still have to add a few pictures but it is mostly journaling.

 

 

 

The next edition of Layout A Day is not until February 2015. I highly recommend this adventure if you would like to get a large number of layouts completed or just want to be inspired to tell some stories you may not have thought to tell. I made 34 layouts for less than $1 per day. More than worth it.

 

 

 

 

 

Playing with Picture My Life

When I saw the Picture My Life Avonlea kit from CTMH I knew I had the perfect pictures to go with them.

The pictures had been sitting in my to do file for a long time because I couldn't think of the right way to get all the pictures in an album without spending too many hours on them.

I am very happy how these pages have turned out. I may add a little more embellishment to them or not. But they will look great either way.
