SIMPLIFY YOUR SCRAPBOOKING FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Hello Scrappers :) It's that time again, the start of the holiday season. Maybe you haven't had time to scrapbook last year's holiday photos, or maybe you have but want to spend less time on the process this year. Whatever your situation, if you want to simplify your holiday scrapbooking, we've got a solution: create your pages in advance, minus the photos and journaling. Then after the festivities, you can complete the pages. With this simple plan, you'll have a complete holiday album by the end of the holidays ! First: start with a plan, make a list of your family traditions, activities that make the holidays meaningful for you, such as Christmas Stockings, holiday brunch, picking a tree together, decorating the tree together, etc... Second: choose the size of album you would like to create, a 6X6 is a perfect size for a few photos and some journaling, but you can work with any size that works for you. Third: start creating your pages, maybe one or two per night, or two pages a week starting now, choosing a simple design. Leaving room for your photos. After the holidays you can then add your photos to your pre-made pages, which will make it very simple for you to then share with your family & friends.... If you need any help in creating some simple pages, let me know and I will be more than happy to give you some quick ideas :) Hope this will help to get you started... HAPPY SCRAPPIN, BEC ~

Halloween Is Near ......

Hello there friends :) WOW !!! Can you believe Halloween is just around the corner.... Boy does time fly.... I thought about it and realized I better get started on some cards to send out to family & friends..... So here is just one card I created, along with a little gift package filled with one finished card and supplies to make more :) The traditional Halloween colors are normally Black & Orange, but SU is using Old Olive, Black and the new Rick Razzleberry.... I really liked how these colors just blended so well together. If you care to purchase a package for a very low price, call me or e-mail me. 562-335-6382 or beckrodriguez209@yahoo.com Hope you all have a wonderful weekend !! HAPPY SCRAPPIN... BEC ~

Just Because Cards :)

Hello Fella Scrappers :) Here are some cards I wanted to share with you gals... These 3 cards were all made with just two 12X12 printed cs sheets....One side was the black, olive & orange print, and the reverse side was solid olive.... The second piece of 12X12 was just the solid orange cs.... I try and do my best to use up the whole 12X12 page, for one reason, I don't stay with any scraps that I most likely won't be using again, and just creates clutter on my scrap station/workplace :) Reminder: National Card Makin Day is just around the corner... I think I better plan a card workshop get together, with food and refreshments... HAPPY SCRAPPIN, BEC ~
