I’m happy to present you my next hybrid page spread. This one was created by printing and assembling papers and elements from an older kit by Melissa Bennett called “Love Actually.” The products from Melissa’s kits are perfect for printing and look great on any hybrid product. Of course, I threw in a layered card made with one of Cindy Schneider’s templates, and I used the journaling spots Melissa included to throw in my own little word art element.
Are you one of those people who keeps scouring the www, always in search for inspiration and new ideas to implement on your scrapbook pages? Well, I have a site that might inspire one of your future pages: You, Me & Crazy. Admitted, this site is maintained by a traditional paper scrapper, but still, Corrie’s layouts are intriguing and full of new, unique ideas. If you haven’t checked out the site, I recommend that you hop on over. Who knows … you might find a treasure, or two …
I’m learning something these days. Learning to stay calm at the sight of my daily visitors. Of course, it’s one thing if those visitors were announced and would show up at my door. It’s another thing altogether when those visitors show up at any given time at my bedroom window. But, as I said, I’m learning to not freak out any time a strange face shows up right by my window with curious looks on their faces, and I learn to pretend that nothing curious is ever happening here. Yes, yes, the woes of living in a construction zone …
Spring is always an exciting season. The reason? Because it’s the time for butterflies, and love, and … … well, wedding invitations. Every year, someone among my dear colleagues decides to get married here, and the other day, I received an invitation to another wedding yet again. Time to get out those pretty dresses again, and time to give you a heads-up that soon you’ll be able to learn more about yet another wedding around here.
Favorites. We all have them, in basically every area of life. But when do we actually take the time to journal about the little, mundane favorites that make our lives so pleasant? So, today you get a set of prompts to think and journal about, and they all regard your favorite things … And of course, I was eager to work on a page documenting some of my favorites: Supplies used: I So Heart You by Jady Day Studio & Mari Koegelenberg – Fonts: DJB Holly Typed & DJB I Feel Happy by Darcy Baldwin – Photo Pockets by Misty Hilltops Designs
It’s raining. How I know? Well, the tell-tale sign is when you look out of the window, of course. I, however, have another way of telling that it’s raining. All I need to do is … … go down to the lobby. And then I know. I know by the number of buckets set up everywhere. And by the numbers of additional puddles collecting slowly on the floor of our, yes, brand-new lobby! Puddles that could also do with their own buckets. But I’m learning these days that “brand-new” doesn’t always mean rainproof. And I’m learning that rainproof doesn’t always mean what you think it may mean. “Rainproof” in our lobby means that our lobby will always do a good job proving to us that – in fact – it’s raining outside!
I have more to share with you in my paper-2-digi spot this week. Take a look at this traditionally scrapped page: I totally loved the list Corrie created, placed next to the portrait photo, and the title cut from the background paper. So, I set out to implement these aspects on a page of my own, also trying to imitate the somewhat artsy feel of the page (with all the paint splats and what not). And here’s where that inspiration got me on a page of my own … Of course, I couldn’t do without adding a few extra clusters of ellies, because I love ellie clusters! Supplies used here are: Bohemian Beauty by Sweetshoppe Designs – Mark the Spot Alpha by Traci Reed Designs – StampaBets Vol. 3 by Zoe Pearn – Doodley Doo Alpha by Christy Lyle (retired)

This year’s sports days are on the rough side of things. Yesterday, we got quite the storm blowing over us, and today, it’s been rainy. Poor freshman students who are required to participate in all events, either as athletes, or as part of the audience. My advice to my freshman students earlier this week therefore was: dress warm and take something to keep you from being all too bored for two whole days with you (a good book will always do, in my opinion).
