Just Let Me Scrapbook: August

Yes, I know.  Two days in a row I'm showing you last month's projects.  What can I say?  Life got away from me!  So, here's what I made with my design team goodies from Just Let Me Scrapbook...

I made this adorable 3x3 star book!  I'm really happy with the way it turned out and I think I'll be making a lot more of them!  It's three layers and a I cut a circle from the front layer so that the center (green) layer shows through!  Pretty cool looking!

StarBook-med 

This is one of my favorite techniques - writing in both black and white on a photo!

And finally, I made this layout...

J&K-sm 

I think it's one of my all time favorites.  I just love the way it turned out.  It was a lot of handcutting (gotta' love an exacto knife and a glass mat) but well worth the effort!

Finally, I had a bit of good news yesterday: I had two layouts (one paper and one digital) picked up for a Memory Makers book called "A Scrapper's Year."  Yay!

Thanks for stopping by!

Wow - gorgeous - a whole lot of cutting going on there - but it looks super duper fabbo!!!

so loving this album and your layouts! Congrats on the pubs!!!

congrats Julie on the subs. The album is fantastic and I love your writing on the photo, I might just have to try that.

Julie - How do you do it all? OMG - you are so freakin talented. How do you have time for it all - PLUS you are artistic director for Milk Can Theatre? Designer, jewelery, quilts, scrapbooking etc.
Do you sleep??
My daughter is in her senior year at Marymount Manhattan in directing & acting and she is interning this fall at the Drama League. What a small world.

Love how you cut that circle in the star book, congrats on the pubs!

Any chance you would share the technique for the star book? I love what you have done with it. Takes star books to a whole new level.

Photo A Day 2008

  • 06.15.08
    My goal is to take one photo a day, every day for 366 days (it's a leap year). The only rule is that I cannot edit the photos after taking them. No cropping, no playing with the levels. They are what they are. Click on any image to see a larger 4x6 view rather than the small square preview view and to read about what the image is.
