Doodle's 1st baby album- Layouts #27-46 of the 365 scrapbook challenge and what lessons I learned with this layout

Hi Newbies, I'm here working on my 365 page layout challenge for 2019!  I will try to link all of the items used so you know what I used (and possibly where I bought them) just in case you decide you like any of it.

This week I decided to try something new...8 x 8 Layouts.  Now some of you might be saying how hard could that be.  Well, not so sure "harder" would be the word but never doing one before I made it "harder" in my head.  So lesson #1 for this blog would be...don't be afraid to try something you have never tried before.  That goes for anything in life...just go for it!  You never know how it will turn out or what you will learn from it or the experience you might get from it.

If you have been following my blogs you know that I usually do the 12 x 12 layouts (and use the ENTIRE space) and possibly throw in a hand made card or two just to get me out of my comfort zone.

These 8 x 8's for me were "hard" because I could only use 1 picture if I kept it at the 4x6, and very little embellishing.  I really wanted to do a baby album for my one and only grand-daughter and knew if I started at the 12 x 12 it would eventually have its own zip code so I said to myself, self, why not use an 8x8 album?  So I did, and eventually fell in L-O-V-E with doing 8x8's!

I was able to do an entire 20 page layout in less than a week, my goal was the weekend...and that was a big fat FAIL! Waah, waah, waah...but I didn't stop and I ended up finishing it in less than a week!  

I knew I definitely wanted to do some mixed media on some of them since space was limited and I wanted to make sure it was as pretty as it could be and not just a picture on a page.  And by mixed media. I meant, it was mostly that awesome Nuvo Mousse I bought from Sparkle N Sprinkle!  I just can't get enough of it!  

Instead of doing a blog with each one of the 8x8 layouts and because I didn't use a lot of embleshiments and mixed media, the blog would have been super short.  I decided to do one blog with the 20 layouts on them, featuring the items (and lessons if any) I used.

So here they are:

Lessons on Layouts - Going from stash to Sas!

Hi there Newbies!  Today I wanted to blog about creating layouts using your stash (and...we are already at lesson 1). Lesson 1 being, when buying a kit, from say The Hip Kit Club, you get so excited when they arrive (or at least I do).   I mean the pages and embellishments match up so perfectly, you want to see it all!  So you take it all out of the package and  if that's what you want to do to see all of the goodies in their awesomeness of match-e-ness (here is where the lesson comes in) go for it!  Just make sure it's the only thing on your table when you do or, like me, you will be putting it ALL away after ogling it and then it will hit you.  The KIT you just purchased that matched so perfectly together is now all in separate bins/boxes/drawers and you have no idea what was what!  Yes, that is what I did with my very first Kit, key word being...KIT🤦🏻‍♀️

So let's move on from lesson one, shall we?  I have this beautiful grand daughter and she has my heart!  I have done a couple of layouts with her and want to share this one.  When I saw this picture that my daughter-in-law took I just knew right then in there I would be scraping it!  My mind started going crazy with ideas.  

So now that I have this new stash (since I broke my one and only kit up, it's all stash). I went through every drawer, paper boxes, sequence bins, inks and stencils!  I usually only have a few things that a pull but everything I touched went with the colors in my head that I wanted to do for this layout.  The more I pulled the more that came out!  So I started with this huge pile of stickers, washi tape, embellishments, phrases, flairs...you name it I had it on the table!

I knew I wanted to use a stencil heart on this layout (and here comes lesson number 2); lesson 2 being, when buying stencils, stamps, inks and even paper...DON'T BE A CHEAP AS*!  

I saw a YouTube video with Heatherscraftylife using this "Puffy Heart Stencil" from PinkandMain - side note:  I love her layouts! I have learned so much from her, she is definitely one of the scrapping ladies you need to be following - especially on YouTube if you want to learn a few things.

I went on line and saw the price of their heart stencil (which really wasn't that much) but had to order some stuff from Amazon and while on Amazon I saw an entire set of stencils including a similar heart stencil for half the price...an ENTIRE set! So I said to myself, self, this is an amazing deal go for it.  Well...that amazing deal turned out to be crap!  The stencils were cheap, one has already torn and trust me, the heart one was NOT the same!  Soooo, I went back and bought the PinkandMain heart stencil.  It worked beautifully!  The difference was night and day (although, I am a Newbie to using stencils...so it took me a couple of times to get it down...ok, a few times, stenciling is tricky ya'll).  

On this particular layout I started out with stenciling going across the page, white space in the middle and then a row at the bottom.  It started out beautifully but went South pretty quick!  I thought I would add some heat embossing and stamped the embossing stamp all over the page (not using the stencil) which is NOT the way to emboss hearts people...it was a big fat mess (and kinda comical after I thought about it).  So I trashed it and started again (I told ya'll stenciling was tricky). 

Starting from scratch, I decided to do a row of hearts diagonally this time, leaving white space in the middle and then a small diagonal row at the bottom.  I also did some going in a different direction at the top corner because that's just how I am.  That's the way a lot of layouts go, you have something in mind, start out and it ends up a little (or a lot) different than what you pictured it in your head.  But it ends up looking amazing! 

After I had my background done I started pulling from my stash pile (or mountain of stash).  I knew I wanted to keep it mostly pink (because that jacket tho😱) and wanted a little bit of black to pull some of the color of her pants and boots but wanted a little color in it as well.  

I started by backing the photo with some Pink Paislee 6 x 6 pad called TURN THE PAGE.  I found a pink background and a gorgeous flower pattern that had a bit of light teal in it.  I had so many embellishments with that color I knew it would be perfect!

I used some Dear Lizzy (61) Accent and Phrases stickers, the camera, heart and "captured" flairs are all from Scrappin Happy Studios (her Etsy shop is amazing)!  I had some clear stickers from The Paper Studio called CHILDREN PHRASES.  I love these phrases and used them on other layouts but  I didn't like the look of it on the page.  You could still see the clear square edges of the sticker so I had some cute pink polkadot washi tape in my stash that was see-through enough to cover up the sticker and still see it!   

The title I fell in love with!  Not only was it perfect for this picture, I love the script of it and...it's kind of rubbery.  I've never come across it before but will be ordering more of it!  It's from American Crafters Thickers "SKYLER" pack.  

I added a lot of other stickers and chipboards and other stuff I will list below in case you are interested in any of them.  I finished it up with some sequence from Ink Road Stamps (I love Lara's stamps!  She is always working on new lines and her stamps are very well made and worth the price - see lesson 2 above if you are thinking differently).  

I hope you enjoyed seeing this layout and the lessons I learned from it.  For more tips, tricks and challenges come over to our facebook group (follow the link and ask to join, we keep it private because a lot of us are working on layouts as gifts and don't want the friends and family who follow us on FB to see them before we give them) or join us on IG to catch up!  And if you like the blog please follow me!

Learning lessons with a Pink Fresh Studios Challenge - 2019

Hey guys, thanks for following my blog posts about being a Newbie in the Scrapbooking World.  I just want to say, when I'm writing these blogs, it is more of a lesson on what not to do or how I managed to do or what I have learned to do, so far.  I will always try to give the exact products of what I used in case you want to try any of the layouts I blog about.  

I also write these blogs 1)hoping they will help you guys in this big community of scrapbooking; 2)challenge you guys to go out of your comfort zone; 3)let you know what is going on out in the scrapbooking community, like, challenges, sales, new products and techniques; and 4)to let you know this is a hobby that is meant to bring enjoyment.  If you find yourself getting all stressed out over it because you make mistakes, we all do.  The best of the best do.  So remember to keep this fun and enjoyable!  You can find other tips and posts on my FB page.

So yesterday I was going through IG and found that Pink Fresh Studios was having a January challenge.   It is their "2018 challenge in review", so you get to pick any of their challenges from last year and go for it!  So I went through the challenges and found this one.  It's a simple layout, but I liked that it was on an all white background.  I tend to stay away from a lot of white space (yeap, apparently that is a term in the scrapbooking world).  This layout also let you choose any shape you wanted (if you aren't into stars), which for this layout I was not.

So I picked a photo of my sister and I in 1986 (yes, I said 1986)!  We were so young (but old enough to drink).  It was New Years Eve and we decided to dress in black and gold sparkle (I didn't have my jacket on in this photo but TRUST me, it was black and gold, it sparkled and it had big shoulders to match the big hair).  If you were from the 80's you will get the big shoulder and big hair reference.

I started to pull all of my stash together and liked what I came up with and got started!

I picked an off white colored card stock and used some clear Gesso on it before starting since I was using some acrylic paint (black - and really cheap from Target).  When it comes to acrylic paints you don't have to spend a lot of money.  I used my heat gun to help the drying process because I'm a bit impatient.  Once it was dried I sprayed the Perfect Pearls Mists from Ranger on it (and right here comes lesson 1, LET YOUR MISTS DRY COMPLETELY.  Mists are mostly water and if you don't let it dry COMPLETELY any other medium that you use that is water based, say like the acrylic paint I was using, it will run!

Apparently, I didn't let it dry enough and when I did the splatters of black acrylic paint (again, water based) it ran instead of blotching or splattering as the pro's say it.  It was pretty bad.  I thought I was going to have to trash the card stock but I took my heat gun, dried it and turned it around so my photo would cover that part. (and that was lesson #2) if you can cover a mistake with a photo or sticker, do it! No one can tell and you will save some time and money, and a bit of frustration.  It happens to the best of scrapers!

After I re-did my Mist and splatters and the paper was dried I started with laying my gold boarder.  I don't remember where I got it it was part of my stash from my "borders" drawer and not in the packaging any longer.  I really liked the waves in it and it was gold and shiny so I used it.

I also found these circle chip board that have the same hues as my layout.  I used the Becky Higgins Project Life Kit, I believe it's called Midnight Edition Core Set.  After gluing those on top of my wavy border sticker, I placed some tissue paper with cold flakes in it behind my backed photo and glued it down (covering up my first mistake).

I have this amazing gold foil paper, in 8 1/2 x 11".  It's pretty thin and delicate so using it is a challenge some times.  I used this paper for 1 of the photo backing and also to cut out a 3" heart from my Cricut machine (I have the dinosaur of Cricut machines but it works and it was free from a friend who used it once so I'm good with that).  Cutting with that foil paper was a bit of a challenge.  The Cricut machine cut it fine but getting off of the mat was not fun.  I cut 2 of them and ended up throwing the other out because it just ripped and tore off of the mat.  Yes, I have had to trash a couple of my projects when using it. 

I glued the heart down along with the additional tiny hearts (made from my heart punch).  I backed my photo with the additional piece of gold foil paper and Pink Paislee's  TURN THE PAGE collection.  I also backed the photo with some tissue paper with flakes of gold in it that I had left over from a Christmas gift (lesson #3, don't throw away stuff you think you might use...think tissue paper for backing of photos, a Starbucks sleeve you can cut and make a sticker out of, ribbon...you get the idea).  I always say waste not want not and hey, this is a pretty expensive hobby!

My title I did out of the gold foil paper as well and ran it through my X-ryon stickers machine...AND here comes lesson number 4, make sure you have ALL of the alphas BEFORE you go sticking them on a layout.   I managed to leave out the "R" in Sparkle the first go around...2 words....PROOF READ! 🤦🏻‍♀️

So, this black and gold theme came together pretty well with what I had in my stash.  Unfortunately for me, I wasn't able to use any of my awesome stuff from PinkFresh Studios was the backing of my photo so that basically disqualified me from the challenge.  I do love their stuff and have quite a bit of it from my Christmas Sale buys but nothing that matched this layout other than that backing.  But I had a great time making it and I think it turned out pretty good.  I will list all of the stuff I used below just in case you saw something you liked.
