Scrapbook with a Sketch

Sketches are a great way to get inspiration for a layout and how to arrange elements on the page. They're also versatile in that you can add or rearrange things to fit your needs. For example, here's the January Sketch from the Let's Get Sketchy  It calls for just one photo, but I decided to use a second!

Here is a look at the finished page. For more details, feel free to check out the YouTube video featuring the creation of this layout! 

Thanks for stopping by! Until next time, happy scrap booking and paper crafting!!

Do you love stickers? How do you use them?

Stickers have always been one of my MOST favorite supplies for scrapbooks and card making! In fact, I love them so much that I get a monthly Sticker Club from Mrs. Grossman's! (Here's a link to a YouTube video featuring the contents of the January Sticker Club contents.)

Each month, Mrs. Grossman's sends 15+ sticker sheets, a cute postcard, a "vintage" sticker from their vault and a special discount offer (with code) for the month. I've been a member since last June and because I pre paid for the entire year, my cost is only $10.95 per month (vs. $12.95 if you pay month to month). For more informaiton, go to https://mrsgrossmans.com/.

Below are some photos of the January Sticker Club contents. But first, let's talk about how to use our sticker stash. I have collected LOTS of stickers over the years and I'm trying to find new ways to use them!

Please leave a comment and let me know your ideas for using stickers!

2019 Resolutions & Alcohol Ink Backgrounds

Today is January 14, 2019. Is that too late to say HAPPY NEW YEAR and to share a resolution? I hope not!

For 2019 one of my Scrapbooking Resolutions is to USE  the mats, papers and supplies in this basket as much as possible. It's packed full of supplies and I'm going to make this my FIRST place to look when I need a photo mat! I'll share quarterly updates to visually track my progress!
