My first layout is one I've been meaning to scrap for about 5 months now....don't you love how that goes? This layout documents the day I found out I was expecting Bunny, and how I told S that night. I kept the design simple to focus on the happy photos and words, and I love the result!
This next layout is a bit more serious, abut all of the things I'm worried about lately. Which, for a natural worrier such as myself, is a long list. Much of the problem stems from the fact that I want every little aspect of my life worked out right this second. I don't do well with uncertainty, and gray areas. Unfortunately, as the talented Alexa Stevenson writes in Half Baked, gray areas account for about 99% of human experience. Alas.
I was really debating where to put the journaling here, but ended up liking the white space in the middle and placing the journaling around the edges.
My next layout goes back to the first topic, with more details and photos of the day I told S I was preggers. Even though these two layouts are a bit redundant, I'd rather create two layouts about something important to me than feel pressured to get every detail in one project.
And finally, I fell in love with a Martha elephant punch in Michael's a few weeks ago, so I gave it the spotlight on this card. A great way to use up scraps!
Question for you: how often does the same topic creep into YOUR layouts?
These are great vi like so many of your design ideas and of course the topic on a couple of them is fabulous. The card could not be any cuter.
ReplyDeleteLove that top layout! :)
ReplyDeleteSuper cute layouts! I might be running to Michael's today to get that elephant punch! Love it!!!!
ReplyDeleteThese layouts are beautifully created and oh-so meaningful. I love them all! And the card is too cute! I'm continuing to think good thoughts for you for a healthy pregnancy.
ReplyDeleteLove those elephants. I don't know how often it happens, but I did recently just make a page that expresses rge exact same sentiment as another layout, but with different photos. I liked them all so much, and they just didn't all go together in 1 layout.
ReplyDeleteLove your projects and I think I *need* that gorgeous elephant punch! I definitely get on a roll with layouts and do several at a time along the same lines . . .
ReplyDeleteI'm getting choked up just looking at those pics of you and your hubby on the day you found out you were going to be parents. Such pure happiness! :-) And what great parents you are going to be!
ReplyDeleteAll of these are so fun! Love how you documented the day of your good news. The elephant punch is soooo cute!
ReplyDeletejust curious...what do you do with the cards? i never understand what people do with all the cards they make. great work as always. i can't wait to see how you scrapbook the upcoming event a"h!
ReplyDeleteHi!!! fantastic layouts you did. love the curves on the first one and how you did the journaling on the second and the sewing on the third.. you've been busy. I barely scrap lately except for my DT assignments... and yes, that elephant punch is fabulous. i may need to seek that out. My niece is expecting any time now and I could see that on many layouts.
ReplyDeleteHope you are doing well and not worrying too much.
Hugs. =)
LOVE your LO's and that card? Oh that card!! I must go and get that sweet little elephant punch:) Fantastic projects!!
ReplyDeleteLove your designs here Keshet! And that baby card? For cute!!! :) take care friend! Hope you are feeling better and over the case of the punies!
ReplyDeleteYour layouts are always awesome.
ReplyDeleteYou sound like my daughter with her worries :)
Such creative and awesome layouts! That elephant card is sooo cute!
ReplyDeleteI scrap about pretty much the same thing over and over - Fox :)
Martha Stewart owes you money- I see 4 comments saying they are getting that punch including mine- that is a FANTASTIC card!!!! I love all your pages- the first one is my favorite but I also love the "Good News" page- I love that mustard woodgrain paper and you used it fantastically well.
ReplyDeleteOooh! I love these layouts, Keshet! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat projects, Keshet! I especially love that cute Elephant baby card...so cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving all your stiching lately! and that card is adorable!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet projects! Loving the stitching additions!!
ReplyDeleteLove the card! So totally cute! (Sadly, I think I am beyond that stage!)
ReplyDeleteI mean beyond the stage of being able to use the elephant enough to justify the purchase ;)
ReplyDeleteThat elephant is adorable! Must find one immediately!!! And I love your idea of making two pages for one important event-in scrapbooking you get to make your own rules. :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your "The Day we Found Out" layout! You have such cute handwriting, too. That little elephant punch is adorable! I hadn't seen it yet.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see you were guesting with us over at Sweet Peach this month- Corrie makes the most wonderful kits! I loved seeing what you did with it. :)
ReplyDeleteI love both these LOs. The first one is so simple and beautiful. And what an awesome topic to scrap! I realize that every LO about my younger daughter is about how spunky she is -- I've really got to figure out something else to say about her!
