When I stopped in our local scrapbook store recently, I picked up a sheet of Vibrant 2-sided patterned paper from Authentique's Lively Collection, and I couldn't wait to use it. I flipped through my storage binders to find a photo and story that I thought would go with it and set to work. This photo was taken on one of our trips last summer and represents something we do on most of our trips - locate & visit scrapbook stores.
Great subject for your page? Is that a new blog header?

Lovely page....I wish we had more to locate and brake for!!!!!
ReplyDeletegreat layout! new background???
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! What a perfect title.
ReplyDeleteIs it a new header? or is the text a different colour?
I like all the different letter types you used for the title.
ReplyDeleteLove those scrabble letters! Very pretty papers too. Scrapbook store hunting sounds fun!
ReplyDeletehmm I don't know what's different. Maybe I still need to wake up a bit! I do the same thing with quilt stores so I totally understand
ReplyDeleteWould the different things be the close up shots of your layout?
ReplyDeleteGreat layout and I love seeing the details. I'm also looking forward to seeing more of your new scrap space!
Always enjoy reading your blog. Thanks for sharing!

I'm trying to use up what I already have, but we've been known to plan a route that includes a scrapbook store. I will be visiting an Archivers on our road trip as I use their binders and need several! Other than that I hope I don't see too much temptation! Great topic for a layout.
ReplyDeleteHi Melissa, I can see that your photos are a larger size, they line up with your text and the photos have great colour.
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to let you know that I have finally got around to watching your video - well done!
I really enjoyed your video, I thought you spoke at just the right pace, you were clear to hear and understand. I also like how you used your hands, it cleverly added personality to the video as cutting to your face would have been awkward.
I liked how you put the pages on a white background rather than the cutting mat - but I did think the lighting was a little dark - it seemed to improve when you showed the Lincon Logs page - can you adjust the white balance for video, like you do for photos? The colour took on a yellow tinge which affected the clarity of your layouts. This always happens to me inside - we have yellow based paint.
All in all I think you did a wonderful job, especially since this was your first effort!
Fabulous layout! Such a great way to document this reality. I used to visit scrapbook stores all over when I traveled for work. But so many of them closed. They are so hard to find these days. But there's a good one here in Orlando so I'm happy. Love the new photo header! :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE this layout! I brake for them too! I am so blessed to have a LSS in my city and work there part time! It's not too terribly far from you. You should gather up some friends and make a day trip out. It is a fabulous store with TONS of goodies! check out her website catscreationsscrapbooks.com. The store also has a FB and blog catscreationsscrapbooks.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI really like how you did you journaling on the hidden tags.
ReplyDeleteYour video was great too, btw.
