It's been too long... both since I posted here, and since I offered a free template. I'm here remedy both of those things!<br />
<br />
I've based this template off my most recent layout, created with the just-released <a href="http://the-lilypad.com/store/composition-kit.html" target="_blank">Composition kit</a> by <a href="http://the-lilypad.com/store/Krista-Sahlin/" target="_blank">Sahlin Studio</a> and <a href="http://the-lilypad.com/store/Memory-Pockets-Monthly-COMPOSITION.html" target="_blank">Memory Pockets Monthly Collection</a>.<br />

I love this design because you can incorporate several papers (including yummy patterns). I also like that you can use the photo and journaling spots as is, or mix them up to include just one photo, or three, or put the journaling in a different spot - totally flexible. I hope you like it too :) You can download it on my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/lynnettescraps/app_161128210587174" target="_blank">facebook page</a>.<br />

I'm here today to show off two new sets of Quick Pockets I created using the Storyteller Collections by Just Jaimee. These pocket cards include frames, pattern papers, paint and other embellishments all in a simple .PNG file so you can just drop them in your pages and add photos, journaling or any other tidbits you like. It's a super fast and easy way to pocket scrap, while still having all the fun product on your pages!<br />

I've teamed up with Jaimee again this month to create some fun products with this months' Storyteller Raine collection. I've come up with two different sets this week, first is this set of pocket frame cards perfect for pocket style pages, but they also look great on more traditional pages as well:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://the-lilypad.com/store/Quick-Pockets-2-Storyteller-Raine-Add-On.html" target="_blank"><img alt="http://the-lilypad.com/store/Quick-Pockets-2-Storyteller-Raine-Add-On.html" border="0" src="http://the-lilypad.com/store/images/P/jj-quickpockets-raine-prev600.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The other pack is a set of frame clusters:<br />
<br />

<br />
I used the Quick Frames to put this layout together in just about 10 minutes. Can't beat that!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
And for just a few more hours, you can grab them both for 50% off!

Surprisingly, it isn't a scrapbook layout - it's a scrapbook product. I teamed up with Just Jaimee and used her Storyteller Bryce collection to create some fun frame clusters. These are available as pocket cards for pocket pages, or stand alone for more traditional layouts.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I used a few of these on my latest Project Life spread. I also used some of the other new releases created by a some of the other Just Jaimee team members. You can check out <a href="http://the-lilypad.com/store/Stacked-Pocket-Cards-Volume-6-Storyteller-Bryce-Add-On.html" target="_blank">Stacked Pocket Cards v. 6</a> and<a href="http://the-lilypad.com/store/Stacked-Pocket-Cards-3x4-Volume-7-Storyteller-Bryce-Add-On.html" target="_blank"> Stacked Pocket Cards v.7</a> as well. <br />

The best part is that using all these cards helped me put together my pages in record time. If you're looking for a quick and easy way to scrap, be sure to check these out!

If you're reading this, I first want to say THANK YOU for following my scrapbooking adventures here at Scrapping is Life. It really does mean a lot that you take an interest in this little hobby of mine!<br />
<br />
I've been thinking a lot lately about why I have this blog/what I use it for, and contemplating what direction to take in the future. For the most part, I have used this blog to share my pages and projects. However, I recently started a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/lynnettescraps" target="_blank">Facebook page</a> that will serve the same purpose with the added bonus of being a easier/quicker way for me to share while also reaching more people. If you're interested, you can find me at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/lynnettescraps" target="_blank">Lynnette Scraps</a>. I'll not only share my work, but links to lots of great freebies and other scrapping content. There's a new template for you under the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/lynnettescraps/app_142583772444750" target="_blank">freebie tab</a>, too! I'm super excited about it. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So what about this blog? I have decided to keep it, although I probably won't be posting here as often as I have in the past. I'm planning to post scrap-related content such as favorite fonts, larger projects I'm working on, hybrid projects (and maybe even some non-scrap related projects), and of course free templates from time to time. I hope you'll stay along for the ride, and consider following on Facebook as well.<br />
<br />
Happy scrapping!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617394941227159696.post-2324140143077474332015-02-07T12:21:00.000-07:002015-02-07T12:21:00.576-07:00I Survived the Month of Challenges...I'm proud to say I did it - 31 pages in 32 days! And it's a good thing I had that extra day to create, I did my last three pages on February 1st. With just hours to go I went to post my final page in the gallery, but my Internet wasn't cooperating! Luckily it was just an issue with the connection from my computer, because I was able to move my layout to dropbox and post it to the gallery from my iPad. Phew!<br />
<br />
I had a lot of fun this year, and I realized a couple of things.<br />
<br />
1. I really enjoy challenges. Having something to focus on helps me pull a page together much more quickly - I think it's because some of the decision making is done for me, so I don't have to start completely from scratch.<br />
<br />
2. The more I create, the more creative I feel. Towards the end I was having to scrap a few pages a day to catch up, but I noticed that the pages were coming together more quickly as I went, and I was enjoying the process a lot more. I definitely can't keep up this amount of scrapbooking all the time (my house and my sleep were definitely neglected this month), but it's nice to know that if I'm feeling in a creative rut the best way out is just to make SOMETHING. For me, anyway.<br />
<br />
Today I'm sharing the pages that I haven't posted to my blog yet. You can see all my Month of Challenges layouts in my<a href="http://the-lilypad.com/gallery/showgallery.php?ppuser=3287&username=lynnette" target="_blank"> Lilypad gallery.</a><br />

Do you realize what this means?! I'm only one, yes ONE, week away from completing my 2014 Project Life album! I've kind of been scrapping my weeks out of order- I actually did week 52 a while back and I just have week 51 left. For this spread, I was surprised to see I didn't have many photos to choose from despite a pretty busy week. Sometimes when life gets busy, I just forget to pull out the camera. Especially at big gatherings - I'm the worst at remembering to get photos! I am a bit bummed I don't have a photo record of some of these things, but at least I have things recorded in the journaling. And the photos I do have a fun, plus I kind of like a simpler spread sometimes. Here's a look at week 51:<br />

I've been wanting to scrap these photos for a while - and that cute vintage alphabet card is what inspired me, I knew I wanted to use it here! The whole set of cards is just adorable. Have fun shopping!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617394941227159696.post-41592913393923144052015-01-22T16:51:00.002-07:002015-01-22T16:51:54.541-07:00Project Life 2015: Week ThreeThis past weekend I went to <a href="http://www.diginightout.com/" target="_blank">Digi Night Out</a> - it's a fun meet up with local digi friends. We all bring out laptops, we scrap, we chat, and we even get free stuff! This month <a href="http://pixelsandcompany.com/shop/Gennifer-Bursett/" target="_blank">Gennifer Bursett</a> was our featured designer and she offered a huge set of pocket style templates. I love them so much I've decided to use them for all of my PL pages for 2015! (I'll need to go back and add them to weeks 1 & 2, but that should be pretty easy.) The best part is that she put them in her shop for just $1 per pack as part of the <a href="http://pixelsandcompany.com/shop/-Dollar-Days/" target="_blank">Dollar Days sale</a> going on at <a href="http://www.pixelsandcompany.com/" target="_blank">Pixels and Company</a>. That an amazing deal!<br />
<br />
Here's a look at how I used them for week three. I also used a couple of dollar days products by Celeste Knight, including the white stitches and those fun envelopes & tags.<br />

I do love the look of the page protectors - but I've found that instead of putting them on TOP of my page, I place it underneath. That way I still get the look of the protector, without graying my photos and cards. Just a little tip! I know some who put it on top but lower the opacity a bit. Just a personal preference! Thanks for having a look!

This is a special memory from this holiday season. I took my daughter to see the Nutcracker Ballet. She is four, and for the past year, when asked what she wants to be when she grow up, she says, "a ballerina!" I enrolled her in a ballet class this fall and it is her favorite thing! I got the tickets last minute, and she was so excited and so cute. We got dressed up, went to dinner at Chick-fil-A (her choice) and then to the ballet. I was worried she would get tired, but she sat with her eyes glued to the stage for the full ballet. We bought a little nutcracker at intermission and she still carries that little guy around. Definitely a special memory I wanted to record, and something that will likely become a tradition for us.<br />

I had SO many photos! That can be a real scrapping block for me. Of course, I could just do more pages, but in the interest of just getting my 2014 PL album DONE, I chose to limit the week to just one spread. I can always go back and scrap more of my Christmas photos later, either in pocket or more traditional form.<br />
<br />
So, how did I choose which photos to include? First, I went though them all and picked out the ones I loved most. Then, I asked myself - which ones tell the story? I found I had several that, although beautiful and unique, all told the same story. Baking and decorating cookies, for example. I had several photos of kids decorating, photos of cookies fresh from the oven, photos of decorated cookies on plates. I simply chose ONE from that group to represent the story of baking cookies. I find this approach and the simple question of "which photo best tells the story?" really helps me to quickly narrow down my options. I did the same with sledding photos, Christmas Eve, Christmas morning photos, etc. In the end I fell like this is a great representation of our week and the stories are there.<br />
<br />
For this spread I used the December subscription kit, Joyful, from Pixels and Comapny. It's no longer available via subscription, but you can find all the various products in the P&Co store.<br />

I tried it last year and although it's tough to do that much scrapping, I hung in there and finished so I decided to give it a shot again this year. I'm hoping to use the challenges to scrap some more Christmas memories, catch up on Project Life, and get some other pages done as well. These are the pages I've done so far:<br />

Crossing my fingers I can make it to 31. Here's to crazy scrapping goals! </div>

You know how the holidays are so busy, and you sort of look forward to January for its promise of daily routine and calm? Well, I do, but folks, it's a lie. Life is as busy as ever. It hasn't stopped me from scrapping yet, but the blogging thing always gets pushed back a bit so bear with me as I try to catch up. First up I wanted to share the new Winter Wish collection:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And the bonus for this month, these printable planner pages. (These are probably what I need so I'm not feeling so overwhelmed!)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://pixelsandcompany.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/printablejan15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://pixelsandcompany.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/printablejan15.jpg" height="202" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I used this collection for my first week of project life for the year. Acutally, I ended up tacking the last few days of the year onto my first week. This probably seems like a weird choice- and I wasn't planning on doing it this way, but as I was looking at what I photos I had I realized I had a bunch from the last few days of the year, and a grand total of TWO for the first few days of 2015. It just made more sense to put them all at the beginning of the year, plus it gave me chance to really document our fun New Year's Eve party. Here's a look:<br />

You might have noticed I haven't exactly finished my 2014 album. I've got three more weeks to scrap and post here, but I'm diving right in to 2015 so that I don't start the new year already behind. Really, I'm so proud of myself for never getting too far behind in 2014, and here's to the same for 2015! Thanks for having a look. :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617394941227159696.post-24655003414031626642014-12-28T07:00:00.000-07:002014-12-28T07:00:01.818-07:00Project Life 2014: Week 47 & Hunter Storyteller Collection This was a fun spread to create! I'm always nuts about Jaimee's pocket page templates, and the color palette for the <a href="http://the-lilypad.com/store/Storyteller-2015-Hunter-The-Collection.html" target="_blank">Hunter Storyteller collection </a>is so fresh and fun! This collection is a lot of fun to work with. If you make it all the way to the end of this post, you'll see I also created a traditional scrapbook layout with the collection as well. Here is week 47:<br />

The Storyteller collections have undergone some changes for 2015, including a new subscription option which is really exciting! You can find all of the changes detailed on Jaimee's blog.

I've got week 47 done as well and will share that in another post. This week is a bit odd because it was Halloween week, but I chose to use the new <a href="http://the-lilypad.com/store/Memory-Pockets-Monthly-FOLIO.html" target="_blank">Janurary Memory Pockets Monthly collection </a>which has a fresh start/new year kind of theme. But here's the deal: I had already placed the photos for the spread, and had just downloaded the new MPM which I was dying to play with, and realized that I could get this done quick if I just put the two together. It's not the most natural choice, and I didn't use a whole lot from the collection, but again, it's DONE. Another week documented, which in an of itself makes me really happy. And you can bet that I'll use this collection again on another weeks spread - it's gorgeous!<br />

Also- I hope everyone had a very happy holiday! This year we created so many fun Christmas memories & photos, I'm hoping to get some of them scrapped very soon.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617394941227159696.post-29131090453255695302014-12-15T23:52:00.000-07:002014-12-15T23:52:40.898-07:00December... Daily? (maybe just twice)Hey there. I love December Daily! Well, I love the idea of it. I love the idea of documenting this time of year, with so many fun traditions and special memories. However, I'm not really great at doing it. In fact, I never really commit to doing it because I know I won't be able do complete it, at least not in the sense of documenting something each day. But I do want to document our various holiday activities, and there are SO many awesome holiday products I'm dying to use that I always seem to create something.<br />
<br />
But between my dead EHD, the added stress and busyness of this time of year, and a kid who doesn't like to go to bed (ahem... DANIEL), I haven't had much of a chance to play. I finally cranked out a couple of pages! These my be the only pages I get done, but at least it's something!<br />

For the second page, I used a bunch of new things from Digital Design Essentials. Gina has been adding new things to the shop almost daily, plus tons of freebies on <a href="http://digitaldesignessentials.com/blogs/news" target="_blank">the blog</a>!<br />

We'll see if I get anything else scrapped... hope you're having a wonderful December too! Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617394941227159696.post-58178597794154361062014-12-11T16:44:00.000-07:002014-12-11T16:44:42.719-07:00Goodbye MSA!<a href="http://www.myscrapbookart.com/">My Scrapbook Art</a> is closing its doors in a little less than a month. It's sad to see a site that's been around for many years go away! I've been blogging there for the past couple of years and have really enjoyed being a part of the team and being so inspired by the gallery and blog posts. It was one of the few open galleries left, but I can see it was time to let it go. I know Jen (the owner) poured a lot into keeping the site going, but the truth is people just aren't hanging out there anymore. <br />
<br />
The sliver lining is that there's a beautiful farewell<a href="http://www.myscrapbookart.com/xcart/product.php?productid=17625&cat=0&page=&featured=Y"> collab kit</a> available from some of our talented past sponsors including Allison Pennington, Digital Scrapbook Ingredients, Jacque Larsen, Gennifer Bursett, Sissy Sparrows, Snips 'n Snails, Fiddle Dee Dee Designs, Sugary Fancy, Tracey Martin, and Little Butterfly Wings. This kit is really pretty, and includes more than just what you see in the preview:<br />

<br />
<br />
I used this kit to create a page for this months <a href="http://www.myscrapbookart.com/blog/?p=6498">journaling challenge</a>, which is to journal about goodbye or a "last" something. I kept it light by scrapping about saying goodbye to my yellow living room and changing it to a mellow blue. Come play along, one last time!<br />

A very fond farewell to MSA... you will be missed!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617394941227159696.post-36659141345215870782014-12-10T23:17:00.001-07:002014-12-10T23:17:18.723-07:00Project Life 2014: Week 49 & and sadness...Ugh. Sadly, I have lost my ENTIRE scrapping stash. I did everything I was supposed to - I had it all on an external hard drive which was backed up to my CrashPlan account (cloud back up service) - or so I thought. My hard drive died over the Thanksgiving holiday, which was confirmed by the Geek Squad guy at Best Buy. So I got into my CrashPlan account and my files aren't there. My computer hard drive is all backed up (but I didn't keep scrapping stuff there), and some of my external drive, but it looks like the last few years aren't on there. I'm still dealing with CrashPlan to figure out why it wasn't continuously backing up my EHD, but I've pretty much lost hope of recovering those files. Needless to say, this has been a HUGE mojo killer.<br />
<br />
I had a ton of Pixels & Company stuff, and now with most of those designers gone and setting up shop at The Digital Press, I can't just go back in and download that stuff. (That includes my PL template, by Laura Passage.) Luckily, I will be able to recover everything from the designers who stayed at P&Co, since they keep your download links forever. <br />
<br />
I also had a TON of product from The Lilypad. They only keep download links for a month though, so I was only able to re-download a few things. I had to re-download the collection I used for this PL spread.<br />
<br />
And of course, I had various other things from all over digi land, much of it kits for sites like My Scrapbook Art that only offer them for a limited time before they're gone forever. :( I'm just really bummed about it. I'm trying to keep it all in perspective- this is SUCH a first world problem - but it's still pretty disappointing. I've also spent countless hours organizing and tagging my product in ACDSee and it all feels like such a waste. <br />
<br />
Le sigh... anyway, I'm still trying to scrap, despite my loss. I made the template myself, with square corners because I'm lazy but I do like the rounded better. Being on Jaimee's team, I am able to re-download things if I need to use them again, so I grabbed the December Storyteller to use on this spread. Isn't that card with the animals and trees the cutest? I also love the cut out words cards in this kit, and had to use one. It's beginning to look like Christmas around here!<br />

Beautiful, right?! There are so many possibilities with this collection! I broke it out earlier this week to create a spread that will be in insert in my Project Life album. While we were on Thanksgiving break, we had a big family photo shoot with everyone in my husband's family. I snapped a bunch of phone photos and used them to create this:<br />

What I love about the subscription (besides the fact that is gorgeous and HUGE!) is that you have the option to subscribe for 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months, and the longer you subscribe the more savings you get! I'm thinking this would be an AWESOME Christmas gift for the digital scrapper in your life - it's the gift that keeps on giving all year long! I can't wait to play around with this collection some more!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617394941227159696.post-35529115758825855292014-12-05T15:04:00.003-07:002014-12-05T15:04:59.390-07:00Holiday TraditionsWe have quite a few different holiday traditions, and one of my very favorites is a trip to Temple Square in Salt Lake City to see the lights. Oddly enough, we usually don't make it until the week after Christmas, but it is still a big part of our celebrating! I made a page using some Instagram photos from our visit last year:<br />

Our elf, Fritz, came to us three years ago and has created a lot of Christmas magic for our family. He isn't one of those super mischievous elves... he just likes to keep and eye on things from different places around the house. He is much beloved by the children in our home, and an important part of our December traditions & celebrations. This new pocket collection by Just Jaimee and Mommyish was the perfect thing to document our elf.<br />
