Catching Up & Being Lazy

I've completed several pages since living in the hotel room. I didn't feel like listing any of my supplies because I'm having a lazy day. Basically, I used Crystal Wilkerson's products for everything unless otherwise listed. If you really want to know something specific, just ask and I'll tell you :) And next time I'll be more thorough. Enjoy!

I scraplifted this idea from the December Creating Keepsakes magazine. I think it turned out pretty cute!

I used a Katie Pertiet template here.

I love digital scrapbooking because it's so easy to keep up! We just had Thanksgiving, and I'm already done with my pages :)

I used an Ali Edwards template for this layout.

A sweet page - Brent's dad gave everyone a copy of his personal history for Christmas. Brent and Blake immediately sat down and started reading. It was tender :)

The first page in my December Album. The template came from Jessica Sprague's Holidays in Hand course.

20% off at Jessica Sprague!

It's not a big secret thatI adore Jessica Sprague. So I thought I should share the news: everything at JessicaSprague.com is 20% off from now until December 26th. Sign up for a class or buy some paper. (But sign up for a class! You'll be so thrilled with what you learn!) And enjoy yourself :)

It was hard, but worth it.

I finally finished Type+Writer, and I think this last layout may be my favorite. (Which is saying something, because I've really loved them all!) If only I had a picture of Victoria actually reading the book.

Supplies Used: Jessica Sprague Template (Type+Writer) "Story", Crystal Wilkerson's October 2009 Sweet Papers, Seeing Stars dingbat font, Designer Mixed dingbat font, type fonts: Arial, Ma Sexy, and Georgia

A Template for you!!

It turns out that if you spend days on end in a hotel room, you end up with plenty of time to Photoshop ;) Enjoy the template!

In this one, I shortened the journaling strip and then copied that layer and moved/resized it for some horizontal journaling. I also merged photo squares #4+5 to allow for a longer photo.

Supplies Used: Orchard & Broome Bleeker Street Paper Pack set 2, Katie Pertiet Basic Journal Spots-4, Font: Jane Austen, Happy Daze, Leicester

This one was my original design, but I don't think anyone else will want the long journaling strip... Oh well.

Supplies Used: Katie Pertiet Across the Meadow Paper, Alpha, & Elements, Katie Pertiet AroundTime-4, Font: Jane Austen

I extended the journaling tag for my layout because it worked better with my title. The template is a layered PSD file, so you can adjust it to fit your needs.
