And as my final release for this weekend, Darcy and I are also re-releasing my custom handwriting font as an individual font.

(I’ll just say, if you haven’t had Darcy make you a custom handwriting font yet, you totally should because using your own handwriting on your digital layouts is SO cool!)

And as a final reminder, there’s only a few days left to pick up my limited edition Petit Fours collab with Janet, Cindy and Darcy.

How to Design a Wedding Album with the Photo Book Frenzy Templates

POSTED ON April 18, 2012 IN Tips from Team Awesome

Hello, hello and welcome to another installment of Tips from Team Awesome where the lovely ladies from my awesome Creative Team share their favorite scrapbooking tips and tricks. In today’s post, Jen shares how she used the Photo Book Frenzy templates to design her wedding album. Enjoy!

Hey Everyone, I’m back again to share some thoughts with you on how to use Lynnette’s awesome A Week In The Life and Photo Book Frenzy templates for a completely different project.

When Lynnette first released these templates, I was in love, but I had no idea what I wanted to use them for. I’ve never done A Week In The Life, and these templates were just begging for an awesome project.

Then inspiration struck: my wedding album.

When I first started scrapping 4.5 years ago, the first real project I did was scrap my wedding album. It had been a great learning experience, but I almost immediately regretted how I had scrapped it, but I had no idea how I wanted to change it.

Originally, the focus had ended up being on the kits and templates I used, rather than on the photos and story. This was my chance to redo my wedding album in a cohesive design that focused on the photos and story- and I was crazy enough to see just how fast I could do it.

I decided to start at the beginning of our wedding story- our engagement- and to work through the templates in order, roughly.

The first thing I did was pick photos. Because I’ve been married 5 years now, and digital cameras back then were nowhere near as nice as they are now, I couldn’t blow my photos up to 12×12 without losing a lot of focus. I also wanted to designate a place on each page for the title, rather than write on my photos.

So I decided to just split the large 12×12 photo, depending on how the main photo(s) for the page fell, and use the remainder of the box for the title. After some very scientific testing, I can tell you that the space between photo boxes can be matched with a square eraser set at 44 px. I divided the box as needed, then filled it with a color pulled from my main photo.

After that, it was simply a matter of titling the layout, and adding my journaling. I made sure to stay away from the center to allow for a binding when I print. I’ll double check all my bleed settings before I print, so make sure to take that into effect when you plan your layouts as well. I edited the templates as needed for each story, and it was so quick to do.

The only part of my album that ended up being completely created by me was the title page and last page in the album. I matched the style of the rest of the album in order to tell our story completely.

In just over 36 hrs, I was able to scrap our entire wedding, and have that story finally told the way I wanted it. It has been nearly two months since I finished scrapping this, and I love the album just as much as the day I did it. I can’t wait to print it later this year, and to be able to see our story in print format on our anniversary this year. This is such a versatile album and I’m planning on using it for many projects to come.

I hope that you can see just how versatile this album is. Even if you don’t do A Week In The Life, it’s so easy to use these templates for any project. Family vacations, December Daily, Pregnancy Albums, Baby’s First Year, Our House, Our Town- any project you can think of, this set of templates can work for it. Don’t be afraid to let your imagination take on these templates. Have fun with them, and enjoy telling your story with this template set.

If you would like to see my entire album, the web size version can be seen on my Flickr, here http://flic.kr/s/aHsjyK64qe

Thanks so much Jen! If you have any questions or comments for Jen, be sure to leave them in the comments section.

Layout Love: 1st Quarter 2012

POSTED ON April 10, 2012 IN Memory Keeping, One Little Word, Stuff I Love

Well, it’s official. We’re one quarter of the way done with 2012. Only nine short months before the end of world, folks, are you ready?

I’ll be back later this week with an update on my 2012 Scrapbooking Resolutions but in the meantime, I thought it would be fun to share a few of my favorite layouts I’ve done so far this year.

To be fair, it wasn’t really that hard to decide considering I’ve only digital scrapbooked a whopping 15 pages so far this year which I know, I know, most of you do that many layouts in your sleep. But hey, it’s been a busy year so far! And surprisingly that number actually puts me two layouts ahead of where I was at this time last year. That my friends, is progress.

To kick things off I’m starting with the first layout I did this year, my One Little Word layout for 2012.

One Little Word 2012

I never really think to do photo-free layouts but every time I do them, I end up loving them. I especially love how the talk bubble cutouts came out on this one – I just want to reach out and touch them.

One For the Boys by Zoe Pearn; StraightLine Stitched No 2 by Anna Apnes; It’s Goal-tastic Template Pack by Nettio Designs; Font is Museo Slab

2012 Goals

I’m pretty sure I could do clean, blocked designs like this for the rest of my scrapbooking life and be perfectly happy. I just love the clean lines and all the little homes for the elements. Plus this kit is pretty much a combination of my favorite colors in the whole world which is why my outfit ended up perfectly matching despite being completely unplanned.

October 2011 Faves

Aww, repeating shapes, how I love thee. The shapes on this page were actually inspired by a design I saw on Pinterest – I love that they’re geometric but still a little wonky. And of course, a Chicago layout (with photos of the Bean, no less) is always a good time because it means I got to hang out with my sis who’s a grad student there.

Happiness Is… by Zoe Pearn; Teeny Type Alpha (retired) by Zoe Pearn; Font is DJB 4 Lynnette by Darcy Baldwin; FAVE-O-RITES Vol. 5 Templates by Nettio Designs

Life is an Adventure

I can’t remember where the inspiration for this layout came from but this was one of those pages that just flowed. Like you come up with the idea and wham, what feels like seconds later, you’ve got an awesome layout you love. That doesn’t happen to me all that often so when it does I’m always amazed. But I love how bold and colorful it is and the cutout title of my life motto is one of my fave trends of the moment.

Life’s An Adventure by Penny Springmann and Becca Bonneville; Font is Bebas

You & Me

This layout is actually a redesign of another older less-loved layout of mine (more on that another day) but I LOVE how it turned out this time. Zoe’s kits always rock my socks and this one was no exception. I would so wallpaper my house in those yellow chevrons if I could. Plus the elements in this kit were to die for – it was so fun to just layer and play.
