Camping Pocket Page Layout!

Hi friends! Karla here today with a camping pocket page layout to share with you! This was the drive we took to get to our camping spot, which you can see two more layouts about in my post - here - and I wanted to document our journey there.

I used the Simple Stories Summer Vibes collection, which included some beautiful papers and cut apart journaling cards, and I even cut some elements out of the papers to use as embellishments along with some pretty sequins!

I love the pretty summer colours in this collection and this adorable camper!!

Thanks so much for joining me today! I hope you have a wonderful week!

Crafty Fun Pocket Pages!

Karla here today to share this pocket page scrapbook layout. I used some of the cut apart journaling cards in the Shimelle True Stories paper collection, as well as cutting some of the papers into cards to fit my pockets. There are so many companies that are now including cut apart journaling cards in their paper lines, and I love that you instantly have coordinating cards and paper!

I created a tag using a 'Craft' journaling card and added some enamel dots to coordinate with the cute polka dot paper.

I cut a camera and Polaroid, and I punched some fun circles as well as hand cutting some banners- all from the papers! Don't be afraid to cut elements from your papers to create your own matching paper ephemera. A little blue ink around the edges pulled it all together. Perfect to document my daughter's crafty fun!

This cute quote, above, is a rub-on that I layered over some watercolored paper that my daughter had created with markers and a paintbrush.

Thanks so much for joining me today! I hope you're inspired to look at elements in your papers to see what other fun things you can do with them!

Project Life with Karla!

Karla here today and thought I'd share Week 18 of my Project Life! I love embellishing my pages with diecuts from ephemera packs!

When I'm designing my pages I first lay out my photos where I think they'll fit and then choose journaling cards. After I decide where my cards will go I start adding things like diecuts from different ephemera packs. Some of my favs are the Simple Stories, Maggie Holmes and My Minds Eye packs right now!

I love layering and will often use patterned paper as a background instead of journaling cards, especially when I want to layer a small photo into a larger pocket. I love using 6x6 paper pads for this!

  I used gold accents throughout my Week 18 pages, but I don't mind mixing and matching patterns!

I love being able to journal in the Project Life app and then print the card out with my photos and embellish it when I put it in my album. 

Sometimes I will just use a piece of patterned paper cut to the pocket size without any embellishments. The nice thing about this hobby is being able to add as little or as much as you like!

Thanks so much for joining me today! I hope this gives you some ideas for your Project Life or pocket page scrapbooking!

Scrappin' Michael Buble!

Happy Tuesday! Karla here, and I'm back today to bring you a fun scrapbooking post with pocket pages as well as traditional layouts!

My husband and I have never got to go out much since we've had kids, so it was a big deal to head out to a concert to see 'swoon' Michael Buble for our 5th Anniversary!  I just love his style, his voice, his songs!  It was such a lovely night out and I am so happy I dug out these pics to finally get this event scrapbooked!  I thought it would be perfect to use the wonderful new kit from Scrapendipity made up with tons of goodies featuring the Oh So Lovely collection from Kaisercraft! It is so beautiful! I'm loving the kit full of the papers and diecuts as well as cardstock, ribbon, Stickles, Distress Ink and more!

I added two of the 3x4 cards from the kit into my pockets and cut one of my photos so that each half fit into the center pockets. I layered on some diecuts and some Thickers that I had in my stash to complete my journaling card at the bottom.

On the second page I used more of the papers and journaling cards along with the oh so lovely ;) diecuts!

After filling my pockets I had a couple pics left over and wanted to do a couple traditional pages using this beautiful collection. Except for the Thickers letters, some sequins and baker's twine, everything was in the kit!

Here are a couple close ups of some of the details:

Thanks so much for joining me today! Hope you enjoy a very crafty week!
