Saturday Scraplift: By the Book

Welcome to the first Saturday Scraplift for February. Shannon here to bring you this week’s challenge. I chose this page by one of our Guest Creative Team Members this month, Jan (jmgesi). I loved everything about it–how colorful it is and how it looks like a paper scrapbook journal within the page with the taped in “cards” of the books she read, library cards, glasses and the hand drawn stamps that looked like she was doodling on the page. And the number of books she read last year is pretty amazing. I’m impressed, for sure.
As usual, the Creative Team has come up with some additional inspiration for you.
First up is Valerie (nana_vg). This is a wonderful page to document her family’s concert experience. Love how she tucked the tags and musical elements into the envelope like you would in a paper scrapbook page or journal to collect your memorabilia.
Products used: Classic Pooh: Friend Like You Scrapbooking Bundle, Vintage Mini Mix Kit 13, Sweet Melody Brushes and Stamps, Musical Epoxies 01, Photo Clusters 65 and ARToptions Mini Mix 10.
Next up is Guest Creative Team Member Trish (G T). She scrapbooked these photos of a kookaburra. I love how she designed her layout to look like a paper nature journal. And I love seeing photos of the subject of one of my favorite songs from childhood.
Products used: Stories of our Life Layered Template 02, From My Bookshelf Blendables 16, Stamped Blocks 27 Brushes and Stamps, Pencil Line Leaves Brushes and Stamps 14, Taped Together Stacks 04, Vintage Ephemera Remnants 01, Vintage Journals 01, Clustering Bookshelf Stamps and Layers 02, Calne Scrapbooking Kit, and Vintage Farmhouse Garden Scrapbooking Bundle.
I have fallen in love with Katie’s new Classic Pooh collection so I had to go looking for photos of when my sons were younger so I could play with the new products. For this page–I tried to come as close as I could to emulating Jan’s wonderful design. I was also going for a storybook look given the Pooh theme.
Products used: Drawn in Love Stamps 01, Classic Pooh: Friend Like You Scrapbooking Bundle, Classic Pooh: Friend Like You Stamp Pack, Classic Pooh: Friend Like You Alphas, Recollections: Book Covers and Classic Curled Photo Frames 07.
As always–please post your layouts for this challenge in the Saturday Scraplift Gallery and the February Challenge Participation thread to get credit toward a coupon to spend in the KPD store.
I hope that Jan’s layout or any of the others by the team help you to create your own story or journal. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
Happy Scrapping, Shannon
