Weekly Pages Again!

Happy Monday to you! I hope you had a relaxing weekend!
I *almost forgot I was doing weekly scrapbook pages! haha...I am weeks behind, but here are two recent weeks completed! Both are very simple pages, but the focus here is definitely the photos and the story of our lives. Interesting that both pages ended up with 8 photos, haha...

On this one I was playing with my newest downloads...I have wanted the Vintage Overlays forever and finally added it to my order. No idea what took me so long... And I used two on this page, plus the Mis-Stitched stitching.

Supplies: MDS: A Split Second (smile), Mis-Stitched download, Vintage Overlays,

Font: Cinnamon Cake

This page stayed pretty clean, I had a lot to talk about this time, haha...and the color combination came straight from MDS.

Supplies: MDS: Petal Parade-2014 SAB content (scallops), Texture overlay
Font: Bradley Hand

What are you going to make this week?

Last week of summer!

Happy Monday once again!
Today I have a scrapbook layout for you! Remember I was doing a page of each week? Yeah, I've almost forgotten too! haha.... So this is just picking up where I would have if I had kept up, which means I have plenty to catch up on!
This page also uses the sketch found HERE, and an inspiration challenge found HERE. I did the ombre background I first tried for THIS page but this time I went for a hot summer sunset feel. Also, I figured game nights, harvesting & preserving fruit, back to school, pool time, water fights, and bike rides about covers SUMMER. haha....

Supplies:
MDS; Punches, Opacity tool

Week 25!

I feel like I'm behind in posting weekly pages here...maybe I am, I'll have to go back and look, haha. I'm just a little behind in the creating of weekly pages, but am doing pretty good staying on top of it. Last night I got this one done, so here you go!
Again I used a sketch from Pinterest, which you can see HERE. Also, you see the bit of "washi tape" holding the photos on the page? That's a fun trick...here's how it works in MDS- you make a photo box the size you want, fill it will DP, and tear the two sides! I also changed the opacity to make it look more like tape.
I told you I'm having more fun with this! *smile And you know, if you're interested in giving it a try, there is a FREE 30 day trial of MDS you can play with!

Supplies:

MDS: SAB14 content (DP & Twine), Sara's Sequin's download, Recolor tool (button), Days To Remember content (label) 

Week 22

Have I mentioned enough that I love the no-clean-up part of digital scrapbooking?
How about the part about recording our lives in this format of a page per week?
Well, its the truth.
My husband and I spent the last week being really sick. But I've really missed stamping. And not that this is exactly stamping, but it is creating and recording and photos- all my favorite things. And I can take as long as I need to complete the page, and I don't have to clean it up and pull it all back out. YEAY!
So here's my Week 22 page -

I recolored the DP to be monochromatic, which gives it a much subtler feel, with keeping the fun pattern. I also flipped the bow on the twin to cover less of the journaling, haha...

Week 21!

Today's Weekly Page actually fits a challenge! As I've mentioned, Stampin' Up! has partnered wtih Project Life so the latest MDS Monday challenge was to create a page either using Project Life downloads, or in the Project Life style! Can do! *grin
altho I suppose the ribbon isn't quite correct....
Oh well!

Supplies:
MDS, Playful Polka dots Suite

Week 19

Happy Memorial Day to my American readers! I'm off enjoying my family, but I still have a blog post for you today!

Here's the next up from my weekly page project. This time I didn't have many photos to put on the page, so I picked a sketch from my scrapbook Pinterest Board. The link didn't seem to go anywhere, but the sketch designer is credited on the pin, so I guess that's ok... Pinterest is so weird sometimes!

Anyway, once again I used the color combo tool on MDS to choose colors that worked well together and ended up with Peach Parfait, Sahara Sand, Pool Party & Lucky Limeade! I recolored the flowery paper from the Days to Remember content, from a red shade to Limeade! And I recolored the brads from a Sale-A-Bration content disk from Soft Suede butterflies to Pool Party butterflies!

Supplies:

MDS, Days to Remember, Sale-A-Bration 2012? content disks, recolor tool

Weekly Page catch up!

I finally took some time to catch up on my weekly pages. I had skipped over these two, and still had two more to go before I could get to the current week, haha! Between not babysitting so much anymore, and my husband needing the computer in the evenings, it just hadn't happened. So I'm glad I am officially caught up on 2014 because I am still lacking pages from 2013! sigh...and giggle...
Both of these are very simple layouts with just a little pop of something to break it up.

Supplies: MDS, Stacks of Millions DP

Supplies:
MDS, Lemonade Stand content disk

Week 16

Yes, its true, I've skipped weeks 14 and 15 (sort of....I have the photos laid out, I just haven't gotten to the rest of it, LOL) but for right now I'm sharing Week 16. Because its my blog and I said so. hahaha!
With this page, I fit the latest 1-2-3 Get Scrappy challenge, to have lots of journaling, a yellow background and something silver. I thought highlighting the major events and funny picture with silver glimmer arrows was a good touch.
And for those wondering, the yellow is Daffodil Delight at 50% opacity! I really like it that way.

Supplies:
MDS, Glimmer Paper download, "Learning Curve" font

Week 13

Today I've got the page for Week 13. I really love how this page turned out! I recolored the chevron paper to be Melon Mambo instead of Rich Razzleberry- and I found the color combo by using the "picker" tool under ink colors! This is the week I had the cold, which is why there are so few photos, haha....

Supplies:
MDS, Sycamore Street content disk, Burlap ribbon download, Paper Daisies download

Week 12

Last weekend I got 3 weekly pages done, haha....crazy how having a cold for a week gets me so behind on everything! So here's the page for week 12...and the base of the page uses a sketch I found on a facebook group I learned about thru the blog hop this month!  

Supplies:
MDS, Flirtatious content disk, Recolor Tool

I recolored all the DP (comes from the Flirtatious content disk), to shades of green for St Patricks' Day. Then I used the freehand brush for the back of the text box, and added some ink splatters too! I think it turned out pretty fun!

Week 11

Thursday already...?
I just got last week's page done, so I may as well share it now! For this page, I used the sketch found HERE. I changed it from a heart to a hexagon for the big shape, because that was better suited to a week in our house, lol... Its a really simple page, the DP all comes from the Days to Remember content disk, and then there's buttons that came with the program. But I'm happy with how it turned out!

Supplies:
MDS, Content disks

Week 10!

Just a quick post for today... I got another weekly page done, and here it is! I did some stamping on this one, which I seem to do less and less digitally.. But the dots, butterflies, the flower block and the bracket all come from the same stamp set!

Supplies:
MDS

Week 9

Hello again! Today is kind of a big day for me........
not only is it my 10year anniversary date with Stampin' Up!
....no wait,
not only is it MY BIRTHDAY its also.......
hmm.....which one is the bigger deal? hahaha!
While I worry about that, you enjoy the latest of my weekly pages!

I used Cheryl's EMS 52 sketch- which is open to play with all month long! I found the color combo by picking a shade of blue in MDS (Marina Mist) and clicking the "color combo" tool under Stamps. I love that tool! I use it even when I'm not digi-crafting.

Supplies:
MDS: SAB14 digi content

Week 8!

Just a quick post for today... I got the page completed for Week 8. I love that I'm staying on top of it, haha! It was a sorta fancy, super exciting week, so I dolled the page up a little, tee hee.
Also, I used one of the challenges from the Virtual Scrapbooking Night, to recreate a page you've already made. I based this page off of the first page you can find HERE. But since this is a 12x12 page I was able to easily fit on a journaling box for the purposes of this project. *grin

Supplies:

MDS, SAB14 digital content (punch & twine), Glimmer Paper download

Week 7

Happy, happy Friday!! My favorite day of the week!
Today I've got my page for Week 7 done. Its packed and yet simple... I think I'm going to make a Valentine page in addition to this, but in the meantime, this covers it the whole week, mostly the day itself, haha....

Supplies:
MDS, Red Glimmer DP, Lemonade Stand content disk, punches

Hope you have a wonderful weekend, and I'll see you back on Monday!

Week 6!

Hello again! It feels like its been a really long time, or maybe I've just been that busy! We had a long weekend with Valentines and then off Monday for President's Day and now we're finally settling in to the week...! For now I have a new weekly page to share and a goal to get a lot more done for the next few weeks, haha!

I went looking on Pinterest for a sketch that had room for 7 photos on a single page, and I found the second one HERE. I changed up the photo-less boxes a bit because I apparently had a lot to say this week, but I think the basic sketch is definitely still there.*smile I used a monochromatic color scheme to go with my outfit in the pic of my husband and I. How's that for vanity? giggle...

Supplies:
MDS: Mocha Morning DP, recolor tool, Sale-A-Bration 2012 disk, punches

2014- Week 5

I got another weekly page done! :) This is a pretty simple page, but it kinda turned out pretty! I still have a decent chunk of 2013 to catch up on... one of these days I'll get it done! In the meantime, enjoy this page!

Supplies:
MDS, Sale-A-Bration 2013 content disk, November December Whenever content disk

2014 week 3
