This template was love at first sight and I knew I wanted to build a sparkly autumn-meets-Christmas scene with it. I don't have a lot of photos of crispy fallen leaves so I wanted to really embrace it. Plus that "first Christmas" onesie called for sparkly pine boughs ;)

I am the grumpy one in the photos but I think it can be excused. It was the middle of the night and my child was blasting my poor eyeballs with the flash. (I whined but did it anyway because I love him more than I love sleep or my ocular health.) Made with: * Life: Make It Count Kit by...

Is it too soon to think about what jam I want to gift for the holidays? Probably. But seeing this kit made me want to make a batch of strawberry-tequila agave jam with lime instead of lemon juice.

I got this kit in anticipation of our sunset boat cruise this year. I had no idea what pictures I was going to take or how I wanted to scrap them. I really like how this came out, even if it's only the cell phone shots ;)

I've been staring at these photos, wanting to scrap them but not sure how. When it all fell into place, it was better than I could have imagined. 2008 me with a cheap fisheye adapter screwed on to my old Minolta (film SLR) could never have imagined 2025 me valuing these moments so much.

One of the best parts about the way the streets were laid out in our neighborhood is that we frequently get rainbows *over the house* at sunset. This time, I got a double rainbow! Made with For Crying Out Cloud: Bundle by Erica Zane -...

The photographic highlight of our anniversary boat trip was definitely the lighthouse at blue hour

It might be a little ridiculous to recolor the Legos to match the actual set we're building... but no one ever said I wasn't ;)

I had a lot of fun building the little beach scene in the bottom left

This kit always gives me a retro film vibe and I couldn't resist scrapping some golden hour Kodak Gold with it. I FINALLY got to use that big sunset circle paper (overlayed on top of my go-to wooden background) and I regret not making this design choice sooner.

I'm trying to show myself the same love and care that I show everyone else. I think I've been in more scrapbook pages in the past 2 months than in the six months prior. Made with Carry On: Bundle by Kristin Cronin-Barrow -...

HSL adjustment layers were my best friend here. I desaturated a lot of yellow and pink details on otherwise blue flowers (and turned a few things gray). I've tried and abandoned several pages with this photo but I love what I ended up with :D Made with: * Ocean Aquarium Bundle by Clever...

I'm going through a "scrap the landscape" phase at the moment. I think it means I'm overdue for another adventure. In the meantime, I'm making pages that I couldn't even have dreamed about back when I took these photos in 2012.

Blowing Rocks Preserve feels like something out of a fairy tale and I did my best to capture that magic. (Not pictured: the manatee who was visiting just before we got there.)

This is one of those pages where I was just playing around, using elements that called to me and a favorite template set. I love how the colors of this collection matched the colors of my photo perfectly.

I ended up not using a photo of my stand mixer (after I recolored the one in the kit to match) because I found these cute photos instead.

Sometimes a kit or a template seems made for a specific page. In this case, the template set (with its gorgeous greenery) called for a tropical-inspired kit with palm fronds and big leaves. Luckily, I had both the perfect kit and coordinating photos close at hand.

You would think that after scrapping 5 pages for our last Sea Life trip, I'd be so over the aquarium. Instead, I grabbed photos from a previous summer, when the special guests were MERMAIDS!

Ticket to Ride is one of the few board games we don't mind clearing the table for. Right now we're playing the junior versions but I have London waiting to go Made with: * Weekender Bundle by Traci Reed - https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/sweetshoppe/Weekender-Bundle-by-Traci-Reed.html *...
