Happy National Scrapbook Day everyone! I challenged 24 of our designers to create an "All About Me" layout, giving us a peek into a little part of their lives. Each of them also answered five quick scrapbooking related questions. We will be sharing these 24 layouts throughout the day. So sit back, grab a snack, and get to know our designers just a little bit more, and hopefully their projects will inspire you the next time you go to create!
"Yellow", by Kim Jeffress.
Anyone who knows me knows I love the color yellow. I even had my blog designed with only the color yellow and many of my clothing accessories and accessories around my house are yellow. To Create this layout I simply went through my stash of Bella Blvd papers and pulled out all the yellow ones, added a few yellow stickers and it was done.
Supplies:
Engaged
at Last: Bachelor Party, Alpha+Bits Stickers, Miniatures Stickers; Love and
Marriage: Cute Cuts, Just Write Journaling Stickers; Sand & Surf:
Borders, Flying High, Miniature Stickers, Alpha+Bits Stickers, Chipboard Icons:
Designer Tape: Yellow Chevron
And now for some scrapping Q&A's:
1. What
are your top 5 supplies/products that you cannot scrap without?
Yellow
pattern paper, chevron pattern paper, double sided tape, paper trimmer, paper
piercer
2. What
do you listen to while you scrap? TV, music, or do you do your best working in
silence?
I work in silence!
3. What
snacks and/or drinks are beside you when you're scrapping?
No snacks
4. When
do your do your best scrapping? Are you a morning scrapper, a late night scrapper,
or do you find time during the day?
I work late at night when my boys are in
bed!
5. Be
honest. Where do your layouts go once you're done with them? In albums, in
piles, or shoved in random places?
I am very anal so they get displayed for a
couple of weeks and then into my albums.
"2013", by Leanne Allinson.
I wanted to create a simple layout about me, using soft feminine colors. The Love and Marriage collection was perfect, especially as I fussy cut the gorgeous flowers from the Borders & Cute Cuts patterned paper. My journaling reflects what I am thankful for right now and who I am as a person.
Supplies:
Love and Marriage: Esther Fleming
Floral, Borders & Cute Cuts, Alpha+Bits Stickers; Birthday Girl: Party
Dress; Freestyle Sophisticates: Freestyle Banana; Designer Tape: Blue Chevron,
Piggy Pink Stripe, Yellow Chevron; Button Market: Pink Flowers
And now for some scrapping Q&A's:
1. What are your top 5
supplies/products that you cannot scrap without?
White Cardstock, Alpha
Stickers, Designer Tape, mist/paint, machine stitching.
2. What do you listen to while you
scrap? TV, music, or do you do your best working in silence?
I generally scrap
in silence during the day, while my older children are at school.
Although.. my youngest is usually busy digging through a toy box in my
scrapping room and chatting non-stop, so I guess it's not complete silence!
3. What snacks and/or drinks are beside
you when you're scrapping?
My desk is usually so crammed with leftover pieces
from current projects that I fear any snacks or drinks will become lost in
the foray! LOL! Therefore I'm not usually much of a snack-as-I-scrap kind of
girl!
4. When do your do your best scrapping?
Are you a morning scrapper, a late night scrapper, or do you find time during
the day?
I like to come and go during the day but I find I am most
productive in the mornings.
5. Be honest. Where do your layouts go
once you're done with them? In albums, in piles, or shoved in random
places?
My layouts (being the smaller size) go straight into an
acid-free plastic pockets and then placed into an office file-like manner
in baskets. Some older layouts are in albums but I like to
keep my newer creations on display, by using miniature
artists' easels.
