I sat down at my craft table with the intention to actually create a layout, but that wasn't what happened. Everything was in such disarray around me (and directly on my table) that I had to do some sorting and organizing first. Since I recently decided that I'll do my Scotland and Iceland photos in a 6"x8" pocket page album, I made it my organizational focus to sort through the items that might work for that trip. I've included some photos that show how I grouped my items. I'm hoping that having them separated like this will help me find what I need when I'm actually scrapping.

So far, I've only done one complete layout with my Scotland photos. I finished it last week when I did a stash challenge; I wanted to see how much I could use of a specific set of items when I worked with a set of photos from Glasgow. If you're interested in how it all came together, you can watch the before and after videos here:
13) I worked on a layout from a trip to Universal in Florida last year. I had really looked forward to working on the photos of our hotel, as it had a very retro style. I found several papers and embellishments that had a similar style, so busting those out was very fun! 14) I came home from a weekend away to find a new set-up on my craft desk. It includes an adjustable lamp arm and a special clamp that holds my iPad for recording videos straight down at my desk. I tried it out pretty much right away; I'm pleased to say that I think it'll work well for me. 15) I posted a video on my YouTube channel. It was a flip-thru of my Seattle trip album from earlier this year. I did that album as a 6x8 pocket page album; I didn't want to do a full 12x12 album since I had been to Seattle before and did/saw a lot of the same things. In any case, the video equipment worked just the way I wanted it to, so I was pleased! 16) I di...
Have you heard of the 100 Days Project? If not, you should look into it. Basically, it means that you commit to doing something for 100 days in a row. That something can be whatever you want! Right now, it is quite popular in the crafty world; I follow several Facebook crafty groups that have people participating in it (we started August 1st). I didn't do it on the last go-round because I wasn't sure I could stick with it, but I decided to take the plunge this time. I purposely kept my goal vague: Just do something crafty related every day for the 100 days. As I write this, I've made it through 5 days. Here's my list of what I've done: 1. Made the first pocket page for the 2016 Ireland travel album (this was a trip my husband took): 2. I made a map page for the Ring of Kerry, which will go in the same travel album: 3. I participated in an online live scrap group via Skype! This was the first time I've e...
I'm back on the blog today to give you a look at my latest NYC layout. My whole NYC album uses 6"x8" pocket pages (plus some smaller inserts), and this particular layout is a one-pager. It features two photos from the taking the subway, specifically the uptown E train. I used a cool card I received in an older kit from Studio Calico (the one with the colorful numbers). I thought it worked well with how the numbers and letters of train are listed on the overhead boards on the subway platforms. For the upper left pocket, I used a basic journaling card I had with a grid pattern. I chose it because it was red at the top and had a space for the date. I also chose to add a phrase/word label I had that had the word "train" on it; it seemed like a perfect fit. The only other embellishments I added were a small enamel dot and a circular die-cut with the word "Adventure" on it in a fun font. If you'd like to see how it all came together, you c...
