Skyline

Tuesday, May 24, 2016

Hey there and good morning. I'm really excited to finally be able to share this page! It's part of today's Get It Scrapped article, using Geometric finds in scrapbook pages. These fonts are becoming more popular, but can be challenging to use. 

I used an Art Deco style font. I edited the photo with a vintage filter. The two styles complement each other. 
This font is bold and can draw a lot of attention. I chose to work it in to the design of the page as an embellishment so It is visible, but not overwhelming,  I liked the idea of a vertical band design. It's a literal interpretation of the city skyline. Using the building die cut at the top of the page also alludes to this. The border under the title grounds the page. 


This photo represents the love I have for Chicago, my adopted city. The story is about my life while living there nearly 20 years, after moving there on a whim. I took this from the plane flying in to the airport for a short layover. I was struck by its familiarity, and all my memories. 

Thanks for stopping  by my creative view today. I know it's been quiet around here. Stop back again soon, I will have new projects to share.

Home is Where My Stuff Is

Tuesday, May 17, 2016

Hello there! We all have different reasons for scrapbooking. Some do it  for fun, some to tell stories. I do it for a little of both reasons. I'm all about the photos and the meaning behind them, but I am not an epic story teller by any means. Today's topic on the Get It Scrapped blog, creating more room for journaling on our scrapbook pages helped me to write a bit more on this layout. 

The day we arrived in our new home, I expected our son to be confused and upset. Instead, I found him curious about his new surroundings and content to have his things around him.This layout tells this story as a whole, but each photo has its own story. I used journal spots around the page to tell details about some of the photos. The title ties each of these stories together. 


The design of this page is well suited for this type of journaling. On the left side, there are open spaces to include journaling. On the right side, I created one more spot, then completed the story near the title. Using the same paper for each spot brings cohesion to both sides of the layout.

The creative team has several more ideas for getting more journaling on the page on the Get It Scrapped blog. 

Thanks for stopping by my creative view today. I've got more to share, so come back again soon.

Our World

Monday, February 1, 2016

Good Morning and happy February!  New month means new reveals for new challenges. First up today is the first sketch of the month at Stuck?! Sketches. 


I really like multi photo sketches. I am not one who edits and deletes photos very well. I tend to use more photos than necessary sometimes. This however, is not one of those times. For this page, I used 3 different photos to tell my story. Shortly after moving to Chicago, my sister and I visited the Adler Planetarium? Why did two sisters who have no interest in space make this happen? Because that's our name and we needed to take pictures by everything that said Adler. Dorks? yes? Did we scrapbook at the time? No. Im so happy I do now!

I started by enlarging the circle and made it more part of the foundation of the page. I did this because the paper was a literal part of the story. Other than that, the design of the sketch is pretty much intact. The photos aren't great, and are pretty neutral, but I don't care. That enabled me to choose colors that would make them stand out. The navy didn't, but the purple and teal did.

Join in the challenge this month for a chance to win prizes from out two generous sponsors. More details and rules are on the Stuck?! Sketches blog.

Thanks for taking  look at my creative view today. Come back again, i have big plans this month!

Dude, Who Cut the Cheese?

Thursday, January 21, 2016


Good morning!  We all have our process, our reasons for choosing the products that we do when we work on a layout, whether you realize it or not.  Some of this process can come easily, other parts can be a real struggle. Today's new article on the Get It Scrapped blog shares masteries in that process.

Page titles come easily to me, and often, they are humorous, sometimes they are puns. I use the humor in the titles to draw the viewer into my page. I also use the humor to help me choose product that leverages that humor even more across the page.  The title here is something a 10 year old boy would say. The embellishments also use words that mimic that idea.


While visiting Pike Place Market for the first time, we stopped at Beecher's Cheese, and watched cheese being made. He had never seen this before. We all were mesmerized. This was our first stop after our long cross country drive. We picked up the keys to our new house, went to the first Starbucks, wandered a bit more, then headed home for the first time.

Thanks for stopping by my creative view today. I've been busy and have many pages to share so come back again soon.

My First Tree

Tuesday, December 1, 2015

Hey there! Welcome to December and out first challenge for the month at Picture This.   Here are the challenge details:

3 PHOTOS +FRAME + CHRISTMAS COLORS + CHRISTMAS TREE

Ok then. This was hard for me. Mostly because I didn't grow up celebrating Christmas. So, Christmas Tree photos are not in abundance in my photo library. I actually had permission for this assignment to use any tree, but while I was digging through photos, I found these gems.  This was our first Christmas together, my first time picking out a tree, and first time decorating it. I really did laugh when told I had to water the tree. What? I said? It's already dead!


Since the photos were the hard part, the rest was easy after that. I grabbed a few red and green paper scraps and the ONE Christmas themed sticker sheet I had. (It's a good thing I saved it from that warehouse box I got last year). So I went all out on the Christmasy colors and theme for this page. It was fun because it's not my norm. I really like that the kraft paper gives it an even more traditional feel. The cork frames play into that as well.

Thanks for taking a look at my creative view today. I've go more to share, so stop by again soon.

Just Go

Tuesday, August 11, 2015

Hey there! I'm up on the Get It Scrapped blog today. This newest article is discussing a two-page layout that is "bracketed" by something at far right and something at far left.   I often create 2 page layouts. When I do, I am usually conscious about balance and flow, but not necessarily if I "bracket" my photos.  I love learning something new, so I was ready for this assignment.


My son is going into the ocean by himself for the first time. He was both afraid and excited at the same time. I took a series of photo of him getting in, turning around to see that I was there, then finally enjoying himself. 
 
I used the bracket idea in two ways. First, I repeated the diamond patterned paper in a more traditional way, on both outer edges of the layout. I also repeated the color red on both sides of the layout, but is it more prominent on the left side. I used red as an accent on the right side. The result is a visual triangle of red across the two pages.

Thanks for taking a look at my creative view today. It's the last few weeks f summer and I'm trying to soak up every minute. I may not be creating, but I'll be posting things I made over the past 2 weeks, as often as I can

All the Presents!

Friday, May 1, 2015

Hey there! I am so excited to announce that I am a guest designer at Stuck?! Sketches this week! I was given this wonderful sketch to use for the May 1 reveal.


I have had these photos printed for a while now, and even knew the title I wanted to use, but alas, a design escaped me. That is until I received this sketch. It's the perfect companion. I used some bright, colorful papers that bring some energy to my page. I put most of my creative thought though into the circle. I wanted stuff flying off if it, like wrapping paper flying everywhere. The numbers on the paper and around the circle are an additional element of 'how many presents'. The only things I really did to make this my own, was to split the title into two places on the page.


This is Hanukkah 2014. I thought he was on his way upstairs one morning when I heard some noise in the living room, I walked in to find him trying to grab and open several presents. Of course I had to snap some pictures of him. I had to remove the gifts from the room for a while. his angry sad face makes me laugh. He decided opening the presents was sometimes waaaay more fun that what was inside the presents. Ok, I'll give him that. What he didn't understand was that not all the presents were his to open. 

Thanks for taking a look at my creative view today. Please head over to the Stuck?! Sketches blog to see more beautiful projects inspired by this sketch.

Goodbye Home

Monday, March 23, 2015

Hello! Wow, it's Monday already. Funny how that happens every week. Well, It's time for a new sketch challenge at Let's Get Sketchy


Truth? My first reaction tooth's sketch was WHOA! How am I going to work with this one? My original thought was to change it by using fewer little squares. But when I began, it fell into place closer to the original sketch. I moved the title and some of the embellishments to make it work for me.


What made this fall into place is it felt like a patchwork quilt to me. That made me think of home and family. That drew me to this photo of our first house when we put it up for sale. It was more than a house, it was our home. My children were born there, they made their first friends there, we made many family memories there. The day the sign went up I was filled with many emotions. Now I have something to look at to remind me.

Thanks for stopping by my creative view today. It's going to be  a busy week so come back again soon.

Grin and Wear It

Sunday, March 15, 2015

Hey there! It's reveal Sunday for me. Picture This has a new challenge today.

Dark Background + 2 photos + butterfly

I'm certain I overthought this one. Dark ground and 2 photos? No problem. Butterfly? Well, they don't make frequent appearances on my pages, so they are not a staple in my stash. I also had to figure out a way to use one in context with the rest of the subject of my page.  I admit, It was the very last thing to be added. Did you find it yet? It's on the journal tag.


I've been finding lots of photo os my yogurt son smiling. Some I save to use to tell a story about him, Others are jut cute and I wasn't to look at over and over. These are two of those photos.  I found a fun sketch at Sketch n Scrap. I'm always looking for new ideas using both horizontal and vertical photos on a page. I mixed some colorful papers and embellishments to brighten up the dark background, and to play with the cheerful photos. It was quick and easy to put together.

Thanks for looking at my creative view today. Want to see more? You can find the Red Carpet Studio reveal post HERE.

3 Friends

Monday, February 23, 2015

Well hello there. It's Monday again. Time for a new sketch reveal at Let's Get Sketchy.


I liked this one. But if you know anything about me, I don't always play by the rules. I felt like I had been using a lot of circles lately, so I changed it up using a triangle cut file created for Paper Issues. The general idea of the sketch is there, just with a different shape and a vertical photo instead of horizontal.

These are two of my friends from high school. We try to get together when I am visiting my family near where they live. I just like that after so long, and years not being in touch, that we can still call each other friends.

Thanks for stopping by my creative view today. There is always more to share, so come back again soon

We are....

Monday, February 16, 2015

Oh hello! I have been waiting, and waiting for today! It's not only time for a new issue at Paper Issues, but my first time contributing!  Now that we've got the excitement out of the way, the new issue is called It's Hip to Be Square, sponsored by A Flair for Buttons

There are so many ways to use this, but I wanted to highlight the flair. I went with squares, as well as the hip and trendy bits aspect by using the ombre paper, clustered embellishments, sequins and of course, the flair. I began with a 12x12 square base.  I was happy to find a way to use the slide transparencies, and even more thrilled when I found some square sequins! How does the flair fit in? Well, when working with so many straight lines, I needed some visual interest. The flair and their happy colors and sayings were perfect for that.


This is my very bestest BFF and I. We met for lunch at our old stomping grounds. Back in high school, we could only have a coke, so now that we could, we had a beer with our lunch. Not just any beer though, a Dos XX. And we laughed and laughed....Basically this page is a tribute to our friendship, filled with humor and making fun of ourselves, as we've done as long as we've known each other. 

Here are some suggestions on how to use It's Hip to Be Square:

Use 3x3, 4x4, 6x6/8x8/12x12 paper, photos and other square elements use a grid design, use paper that has squares on it, favorite room in your house, quilt-like patterns, show off current scrapbooking trends (chevron, bokeh, woodgrain, arrows, etc.), square dancing, square root, baked goods because bars, brownies, etc. are cut into squares, city block, square brackets, square knot (scouting or boating), game boards like chess, checkers, Scrabble (and online variations), a square meal, use A Flair for Buttons products

Back to the Future

Sunday, February 15, 2015

Since I have so much to share, I thought I'd write two posts today. So if you are looking for today's Picture This reveal, please go HERE

Now for this week's challenge at Red Carpet Studios. We are asking you to create a project inspired by The Movie My Fair Lady, with the added required elements of it being girly with lots of layers.


Well, this was a nice treat for me. I do buy "girly" product, in the hope that I will have time (err, make the time) to do more pages about me or with me in them. I do love pink things, and shiny things. I just don't get to use them that often.  

You want girly, I can do girly. Any excuse to use this paper collection that I love. I grabbed some of the neutral as well as colorful papers and just started layering them until I got a look that I liked. I ws so happy to be able to use flowers, that I challenged myself to use the largest die cut in the group. It was perfect for the lower corner. Two smaller embellishment clusters and done. It was easy and fun to  put together, not to mention to play with these supplies.


This is a photo of a long lost friend of mine. We met when we were 6 years old, stayed friends throughout high school, even after she moved away, then lost touch. This is one of the rare cases when I can say, thanks to Facebook, we recently found each other. While on vacation last summer, we met up, and caught up, and reconnected. I thought this title was perfect to reflect this. 

Thanks for taking part in the journey through my creative view. Come back again soon, there's a lot going on this week.

Eat Cake

Sunday, December 21, 2014


Hey there. It's Monday, reveal day for Let's Get Sketchy.   

This sketch is a little different for me. I use mostly 4x6 photos. So to to stay true to the design, I used only 2 photos, but angled them.  I liked the notion of the paint as a base layer. I though this would be a good chance to use some new spray inks I got. I sprayed 2 colors, then dripped some water over them, letting the colors blend and drip. I used a different ink to paint the edges. I used the black and the patterned washi to give it some texture and contrast. The sprinkles of sequins give it a festive feel.


Thanks for taking a look at my creative view today. I'll have more to share soon.

Best Friends

Sunday, November 23, 2014

Oh, Its Monday again and you know what that means...Reveal day at Let's Get Sketchy. Let's take a look at this week's sketch


I changed this one up quite a bit. I wanted a cleaner look for this photo, but wanted to still keep the original design in my page. First, I chose to use one vertical photo instead of the two horizontal ones. Then, I flipped the direction of the papers and the side of the page they're on.  I used the circular element, but placed it as an embellishment,  at the bottom right corner of the photo.  


I can proudly say this is the final Bar Mitzvah album layout that I will share. The album is finished. These are very special friends of ours who made the weekend exceptionally memorable. I wanted to create a layout highlighting them in the photo. 

Thanks for taking a look at my creative view today. If you are inspired by the sketch, come play along at Let's Get Sketchy

Mid Century Modern

Tuesday, November 18, 2014

There is a fantastic new article on the Get It Scrapped blog today: Scrapbook pages inspired by Mid Century Modern.  I had a pretty good idea I knew what this was, but did some research anyway. I read this article on Houzz.com and looked at the Get It Scrapped Pinterest board as well.

I went fairly literal with this layout. I used the ideas of clean lines, graphic patterns and bridging the outdoors. The design of the page is simple with straight edges. The graphic patterns and colors are representative of wallpaper and artwork. The woodgrain paper and burlap give the page texture, as well as an outdoor feeling.  The embellishments are neutral, but continue the theme of outdoors and are graphic in their design.


We had had a rough summer as a family. Celebrating my husband's birthday by having dinner out with friends was a way to do just that. Celebrate. It was time to recognize the little things and give them meaning. And so we did.

Thanks for taking a look at my creative view today. For more fabulous projects, please read today's blog post at Get It Scrapped.

Say Cheese

Friday, October 17, 2014

Just a quick one because I forgot to write this up! Paper Issues has started a new feature called Sketchy Saturdays. Create a project based on a sketch. Here is the inaugural sketch and my interpretation



What? A 2 pager from this? Yep. I turned the sketch on it's side and spread it open to accommodate the 6 larger photos.  I continued to use the same simpler format and paper collection as on previous pages for this project. Worked like a charm. And helped me get one step closer to finishing that long Bar Mitzvah project that has been hanging over my head....Thanks Paper Issues!

U Pick 'em

Saturday, October 4, 2014

Oh, I had so much fun on Scrappy Friday. I spent the day in my scrap room, where I was actually fairly productive. Today I am sharing one of the projects I finished. I used the newest sketch at ScrapMuch? as well as inspiration from the Bingo board challenge at Scrap Our Stash and Paper Issues current Issue-You're sew cute you keep me in stitches




I had 4 photos that I wanted to use so I adjusted the sketch to suit my needs. I balanced the two sides by mirroring them.  I do a lot of 2 page LO and was happy to see one in a sketch challenge.  I used the middle vertical column of the Bingo board. There are tags, paper clips, wood veneers set on a base of kraft paper. My free space can be brads, twine, washi or mist. There is natural twine that connects the clips.


Our fall family tradition is apple picking. While living in Illinois, we found an orchard that we really liked. This particular one also had a late blooming raspberry vine. I had never been berry picking, and suggested we do so. I wound up taking more pictures than picking berries, but that's ok, since these are the results.

Thanks for stopping by my creative view today. Come back again. I have lots to share.

Dance With Me

Sunday, September 21, 2014

Good Monday to you. I generally like Mondays. Yes it the beginning of the week and it's 4 more days until Friday, but its back to the routine for everyone and that's a good thing. It's also reveal day for Let's Get Sketchy. Here is today's sketch


Here is my translation. Yes, yes, I know. Another Bar Mitzvah layout. I promise. I only have 4 more to do! But, I love that using these sketches has helped me get so many pages for this album finished! 


Like here, I just changed the square photos into 3x4 then used other elements that went with my theme. The initial design is still there, but I made the rest my own. I also used a newer to me favorite tool, the American Crafts DIY roller stamp. This one has a heart shape on it. I wanted a polka dot look. Instead of rolling it in paint or an in pad, I used mist. The thinner liquid left a more random impression, which is what I was looking for.  I made my tools work for me.  

Now turn to it's your turn to put this Let's Get Sketchy sketch to work for you. Don't forget you still have time to submit for Issue 5 of Let's Get Inspired Magazine. Submissions are open until October 1. Thanks for taking a look at my creative view today. Stop back again later in the week. I'll have more to share for the Let's Get Sketchy Blog Hop

Inspired By...

Sunday, September 14, 2014

We are trying something a little different this month at ScrapStuff'z Inspired by. Instead of one inspiration photo, we have two to choose from.


I created a layout inspired by each of the photos.  This first one is my interpretation of the office supplies photo:

Nope, it's not a first day of school photo. It's the last day of school. If you don't know me by now, I have to do something a little but off the beaten path...So really, all of the items in the photo are put away for the summer, not to be seen for 3 months!

 I used some of the items in the photo on the page such as pencils (stickers at top and bottom), paper clip (yellow arrow) and notebook paper (the background) and of course, lots of letters and numbers. (Isn't that washi tape awesome?!?) Ideas for this page also came from Scrap Our Stash  and My Scraps & More, use two collections from the same manufacturer, but at least 1 1/2 years old. I used Basic Grey- Hey You and Bowties. I really like when I can pull inspiration from several different sources.

And now for the second photo:

And my super fun layout:

There are a lot of photos on here! I couldn't eliminate any one of them. He tries so hard! Each photo shows how hard and how motivated he was to get to these balloons! He was only supposed to take one, but he wanted them all. The salesperson saw how happy he was and sent us home with the whole bunch. Did I mention this happened twice???

How did I get to balloons from a Ferris Wheel? They both go up in the air! He's also looking up in the photo much like a spectator looks up to see who is at the top of the Ferris Wheel. I did choose papers with bright colors inspired by the bright colors in the photos as well.

It's a lot to read today so I'll sign off here. Thanks again for taking a look at my creative view. It's an odd one sometimes. But I like it that way.

Happy Birthday

Wednesday, September 10, 2014

There is a new article on the Get it Scrapped blog. Today we are discussing 2 page layouts created with a simple grid on one side of the page.  This was an assignment right up my alley and I enjoyed working on my layout.


It's a fairly self explanatory layout. We are celebrating my son's birthday.  As I've mentioned before, I have a hard time editing photos. That's one of the reasons this was easy for me to do. I chose to feature the photo of him with his cousins and use the grid for the photos of him with his cake. Although the photos are of different parts of the event, the layout is united with the paper strips that traverse the two pages. I also created clusters of embellishments in a visual triangle that cross the two sides.

There are several other great examples on the Get it Scrapped blog. It's an active creative blog week for me. But that's the way I like it. More posting means I've had more scrappy time. Its a win win. Thanks for taking another look at my creative view.
