{Scrappy Goodness} Happy Love

I'm here to share with you one of the five layouts I have created this month using the Simple Stories So Fancy Line.  I wasn't kidding when I told you I had been crafting like crazy with this line.

I just loved those chipboard frames.  They are fun to use.  I did this layout of a couple pictures of my husband and I.  I don't do a lot of layouts of us for whatever reason.  But, I love these two pictures of us.  Super simple layout and using at least one of every variety of everything that came in my kit.

Have a beautiful day! Smiles, Jessica

Hello and Welcome to The Memory Nest color challenge Tuesday!  Today the design team will be showing you their layouts using the below color scheme.  When I saw these colors I immediately thought of using an old DCWV paper stack line that I had called Linen Closet.  I loved the colors and they worked great with this picture of my husband and I.

I started out trying to keep this layout balanced in the gender department.  But, I couldn't help it I saw all those beautiful flowers in my stash and I just couldn't stop adding them.  I will tell you something that was driving me crazy about this paper though. I was having trouble keeping the adhesive working, if that makes any sense.  I don't know if I got a bad refill or if it was the glitter and texture of the paper, but it did not want to stay stuck. :) 

Once again, I love CHALLENGES that help me use up my ever growing stash.  

And a few close-ups for those that like to see all the details...

Make sure you hop over to The Memory Nest today and check out what the other DT members have come up with for the challenge.

Layout 3 of 12: happy, joy, love

 

I wanted to do a layout this week of with a picture from our wedding.  Believe it or not this is only the second layout out that I have done of our wedding pictures.  For a long time, I think I was a little scared to scrap them.  I had this idea that they needed to be perfect and all match and blah, blah, blah.  I am leaving that notion behind and going with the flow.  This a pretty simple layout but, sometimes that is what you need.  I had all these supplies in my stash, I liked them so they became a layout.  Simple, simple, simple.  In the album it goes and check off a wedding layout and another item on my 32 list! 

 

 

 



Hope you enjoy looking.  Thanks for stopping by.

Welcome and Overjoyed

Today in honor of my first post ever and my wedding anniversary, I am posting a layout that I created with one of my favorite pictures from that day five years ago.  I have been wanting to start a blog devoted to my scrappy and crafty things for some time now.  I happen to have an amazingly supportive husband that said go for it.  After talking about it for months, I'm finally here. 

Once I finally decided on a name, I knew immediately what I wanted my first post to be about.  This is the first layout I have ever done with about my wedding.  I'm not exactly sure why.  I think I was always so worried about ruining the pictures, the layouts not turning out good or whatever.

But, even so I decided to dive right in and try a LO (layout). 

Overjoyed by Stevie Wonder was our first dance song.  My husband only wanted two things when we got married, chocolate cake and my hair worn long and down.  I said fine, you also have to pick a song for our first dance.  He came and told me what he had selected a couple days before and it couldn't have been a better choice.  It is not only a sensational song, it also inspired my blog name and layout tile.

I hope you will enjoy this blog and it will inspire you to be creative!

Thanks for reading,

Jessica
