Papercrafting Inspiration Starts Here!
For LOAD 519 Day 12, I went “off prompt” and created a layout using pictures from a recent trip to the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans. I bought the “Border Strips” 12×12 paper from the Echo Park “Summer Dreams” collection and it’s so beautiful. I love both sides so much and I couldn’t decide which …
For LOAD 519 Day 11, the LOAD prompt was “Tell about a time you found a new appreciation for something” and/or use Arrows. I decided to do a layout using arrows and try a technique that I first saw while watching Missy Wheeden on YouTube. The technique that Missy used on her layout was to …
For LOAD 519 Day 10, the LOAD prompt was “Who has been a mentor/guide/instructor to you?” I decided when I remember my years at college that there was one professor that stands out in my memories and decided that would fit the LOAD prompt for the day. I decided to try another digital layout because …
For LOAD 519 Day 9, the LOAD prompt was “What would you change about your daily life to make it easier or more convenient” and/or use a moon or moon shape. I’m finding the LOAD prompts a little more difficult than I expected. Again, I really couldn’t come up with an idea for a layout …
For LOAD 519 Day 8, the LOAD prompt was about manners or using words like Please, Thank You, etc. I really couldn’t think of anything that I wanted to do for the Day 8 Load Prompt, so I went “off Prompt” again. I really had a lot of fun hand stitching on my background in …
For LOAD 519 Day 7, the LOAD prompt was to scrapbook with a circle. I’ve been wanting to try some hand stitching on a scrapbook layout and I thought that this would be a good opportunity. I took a lid from a kitchen bowl and went around it with a pokey tool making holes in …
For LOAD 519 Day 6, the LOAD prompt was to scrapbook a picture at sunset. I went through my pictures and found that I didn’t really have many photos at sunset but I did find these pictures of my friend Candy and my dogs at the dog park right at sunset. For this layout, I …
For LOAD 519 Day 5, I decided to go off prompt and I just scrapbooked a layout using a paper pad from DCWV called Preserved Papers. I did some more fussy cutting for this layout and I cut out around the flower and the note card on the bottom left of the layout. I also …
For LOAD 519 Day 4, the LOAD prompt was to create a layout about something that turned out better than expected or use green/gold in your layout. I couldn’t figure out what to use for the story prompt that I had pictures for so I decided to go for the color scheme and do a …
For LOAD 519 Day 3, the LOAD prompt was about dreams you have or dreams you have fulfilled. For me, the dream was about having an awesome pace and all the time in the world to craft. That happened for me in 2017 when I retired from my job at Shell Oil Company. I have …
