Colorways Football Layout

I have another layout to share with Paper House ColorWays collection. Here is my Colorways Football layout.

 

I don't know why I didn't think of scrapping sports photos sooner with Colorways. All these gorgeous, solid color prints are perfect for matching school colors. While I like scrapping with the traditional sports themed papers, it's fun to use some of these more neutral patterns. It really freshens up your layouts when it feels like you're scrapping your 100th sports photo. 

Since Paper House has so many great stickers, it wasn't hard to fins some coordinating embellishments. I kept it simple with a few 3D football stickers and a few journaling tags from Colorways.

I love this photo so much! So thankful my photographer Sister-in-law was there to capture it.

Harry Potter Pocket Pages

I don't always scrap in order...way back in 2017 we took a family trip to California. I've finally just started scrapping the trip. Here are my first completed Harry Potter pocket pages from that trip.

 

I finally started on the album, because Paper House came out with these gorgeous new Harry Potter papers and stickers.  I couldn't pass up using them to scrap our photos from our visit to the Wizarding World at Universal Studios.

 

I especially love the coordinating 3D stickers. 

 

I've used the flat card stock stickers before in my planner, but I loved getting to use them in this mini album. 

For occasions like this, sometimes I like to create a 6 x 8 pocket page mini album. I find that I can scrap a lot of photos and tell the story of the trip or event more quickly.

We did a lot on this trip...so now I've got lots of other California attractions to scrap to fill up this album!

Pop Up Gift Card Holder

It's the season for giving! Whenever I give a gift card or cash gift, I like to find a way to make it a bit special. This years gift cards and money gifts are coming in the form of these pop up gift card holders. 

These cards are from a file you can cut with your Silhouette (340361 Hexagon Pop Up Gift Card). The fun comes in customizing them with whatever papers and embellishments you like. 

As you can see in the photo above, the card can be folded flat so it fits easily in an envelope.

To create this card, I chose a mix of patterned paper and embellishments from Paper House's new Christmas collection. The patterned papers are called Dear Santa and Merry and Bright. I used some flat holographic star stickers from Christmas Joy Mini Stickers, and the greeting is from Merry Sculpted Puffy Stickers.

It takes a bit of time to assemble the card, but it pays off big with a super fun way to gift cash gifts.

Colorways Anniversary Layout

Today I have another layout to share with Paper House ColorWays collection. This one is an anniversary layout. 

 

I think the green and blue papers in the ColorWays collection are my favorite. They are just so rich and I cannot wait to use them in all the projects. 

For embellishments on this layout I used some of Paper House's new clear Scrapbooking Stickers. I've had them sitting on my desk for a few weeks, but this is the first time I've tried them. They are thick and so easy to work with. The quality of them has made them my new favorite clear sticker to work with.

With this layout completed, I am now caught up on our anniversary scrapbook. I love seeing how we've changed and the adventures we've had through the years!

Autumn Birthday Card

My grandpa’s birthday is at the end of November, so today I’m sharing the autumn birthday card I created for him. 

For the papers I used Autumn Woods from Paper House. This is one of my all time favorite fall collections. I love the pops of blue, and the pretty plaids included in this collection. I also added some coordinating 3D leaf stickers from Paper House. They have gold foiling all over them and really up the wow factor of the card.

The Happy Birthday was a gold rub-on I had in my stash. It was a little bit faster than stamping a greeting, but that would work just as well on the rustic wood grain paper.

ColorWays Layout

 Paper House has a brand new collection! Today I want to share my very first ColorWays Layout. 

 

The new ColorWays collection is 30 double sided sheets of paper. They come in a rainbow of colors. Most of the papers are a single color pattern, but a few contain a rainbow of journaling tags.

I'm really loving the ability to mix and match to get just the right colors for my photos. I'd been waiting for the right papers for these Germany photos, but the red table made the photos clash with lots of papers that I tried. Being able to use a grey background with pops of coordinating red and yellow worked out perfectly.

I embellished with just a few Paper House Germany 3D stickers and a Paper House hot dog faux enamel sticker.

Explore Scrapbooking Layout

Today I have another travel layout to share. I'm getting so close to finally finishing up our Germany album. Here is my Explore scrapbooking layout.

I used one of my favorite travel collections. It's Paper House Explore Your World. I think the colors are just so great for a travel collection. And, as always with Paper House, there are so many great coordinating stickers. I used a mix of puffy, sculpted, and card stock stickers.

These photos are of City Church in Wittenburg, Germany. This is the church where Martin Luther married Katherine Von Bora and preached there often as well.
