When my son joined a soccer lesson for the first time I wanted to scrapbook a page for him to remember. I already had a page that was decorated in a soccer theme, so I framed some pictures from the season and the award ceremony with an accent color. I arranged the pictures on an angle so that you could still see the detail of the background paper and then I found some soccer stickers.
I made this simple outdoor decoration for fall/winter by using a piece of plywood and couple small pieces of scrap wood. I lined up the scrap pieces on a diagonal with one on either side that would create the hat for both sides. I used a few nails on either side to adhere the scrap wood to the plywood. On the scarecrow side, I stained the wood a lighter stain for the face and a darker stain for the hat.
I don’t like to spend money on wreaths, I always feel like they are way over priced. I wanted to make a burlap one because a lot of the decor in my house is burlap/farmhouse, plus my front door is a dark chocolate brown so I needed something light colored that would stand out from the road. I bought a wired wreath form and 3-4 burlap ribbon spools that were about 3 inches wide.
For a simple appetizer we like to do Brie Cheese, the other night we went to make it and didn’t have Jelly that we normally put on top. So instead we improvized and used Maple syrup drizzled on top and sprinkled some walnuts on top which was just as good!
Our Wedding scrapbook is one of the first full scrapbooks I did and it took me many hours to finish. I used a lot of stickers for the letters which is hard, because you have to line them up and fit them in spaces trying to keep them centered. Spacing it hard to do, but it gives it a more custom look I guess.
In this post, I want to show how easy it is to scrapbook a family vacation. I like to keep it simple by using the same set of colors and basic layouts. For this Disney vacation, I decided to stick with more Primary colors because I had a book of plain colored scrapbook paper I was trying to use up. I made groups of pictures to set up my pages I tried to stick to a chronological timeline of the trip and set it up with different events/ parks.
I had a frame that the glass had broken in a move, but I still wanted to use it for something so I built a simple wall decor by using burlap and writing on it. I used a stencil for the initial “P”, placed it where I wanted it, and drew on the burlap with a permanent marker. For the writing below the Initial I just typed on the computer our names and date of when we got married in the font and size I wanted and printed it out.
When we found a handful of 4 leaf clovers in our front yard, I had to make something with them especially because some of them were huge! First thing I did was press them into a book so they would dry out and flatten. I laid them out flat in a thick book and closed it for a few days. When they were dry, I layered a couple pieces of scrap book paper using scrapbook glue and then I attached the shamrock on top. I placed each one in a frame and then arranged them in the hallway around a wall decal.
Our Master bedroom and bathroom is decorated with floral prints, and when I was looking to put something on the wall in the bathroom I decided to make a painting of a dandelion. I am not a great painter but I saw a print like this and thought it would be easy to replicate and it was.
This was my first project using “Mod Podge.” I had a canvas that I wanted to do something with so I made a petal design from a piece of card stock and used that as my templet to cut out a bunch of petals with 4 different scrapbook paper patterns/colors. I arranged them on each edge of the canvas to look like half of a flower.
