Pages and Projects

New supplies always means lovely new pages and projects to share:

Loved seeing all my memory folders together.

Portfolio Album

After the arrival of  Heidi Swapp products to Michaels , I switched my Project Life pages into the Heidi Swapp Portfolio album. It's a fun 6x9 size. At this point I know I will need three albums to house the year, even using the flattest of embellishments. 

 

 
 

 

Heidi Swapp Love

There is something about Heidi Swapp which makes her so endearing. Therefore, I am sincerely loyal to buying and adoring her scrapbook products. So when her products became available at Michaels, I was all over it. 

 

A Year of Sundays

I came across the notion of Phenology: The study of cyclic and seasonal natural phenomena, esp. in relation to climate and plant and animal life, or in my case, my family. 
I translated this notion into " A Year of Sundays". I record the happenings of every Sunday to see the breadth of our year and  be able to track changes that occur in our schedule and family life. This is the first 3 cards into my Project Life album:

Project Life Update

Project life is one of those ideas that are simple and easily sustained. But I chose to make my albums a smaller size. I started out in a  Snap album:

Color Magic Classes

The first class was making 3 different cards using the color magic papers. I was most successful with template #2. Heidi's example is on the left, and the other two are my variations:

Of course the piece de resistance was the template for a magic memory folder with a great "mini book" insert:



 

And this is the sweet spot of scrapping - when the intended audience loves the "album" and wants to know if thre is going to be room for his new TKD pictures.

 

Hopefully I will get some samples of Class#3 - Color Magic Pages - complete and up soon. An awesome way to end the summer.

Color Magic Live Class and Last week of summer

Summer at an end?
But not without a scrapbooking bang...
I was fortunate enough to get into Heidi Swapp's online class and it was so informative and inspiring that I could almost burst with excitement. The classmates were so kind and inviting as well. This I know from my new addiction to Instagram and hash tags 😜! I will put the pics up later today. (have to change to the stationary device)
