Just Let Me Scrapbook: September

I'm excited to share!  I had a lot of fun with the month's products from Just Let Me Scrapbook.  I'm trying to push myself to think outside the box and go one step further, you know?

It's hard to see the dimension on the paisleys in this scan, but the center sections are popped up, which gives it a really nice active feeling.  The layers consist of a mixture of patterned paper and doodling.

I had a lot of fun scrunching and stapling all the ribbon on the perimeter of this layout. I'm not thrilled with the title lettering being all squished, but I had no space and had to use those stickers, so it is what it is, eh?

StatenIslandFerry-sm

This is definitely my favorite!  I drew the leaves and swirls in Photoshop and then used my Klic-N-Kut to cut out the design on that very cool double-sided paper from Black Market Paper Society.  I used a ruler to bend up the sides.  The cardstock card in the center lifts out and has a note on the back, so the recipient can re-use the leaf-y envelope/card exterior.

Finally, I have to thank Gina, who said some very nice things on her blog about my design classes.

Have a great day!

oh my goodness- those are amazing!!!

Thank you for the return shout out. :) The link is broke though. I love the new layout.

Gorgeous pages, and I like the 'squished' lettering on the 2nd. The leaves you created are amazing too!
Have a great day :)

Just fantastic! You always amaze me Julie!

These pages freakin rock but the first one a good fit IS ABSOLUTLY MY FAV. YOU DID A FANTASTIC job! GORGEOUS!

no I love the lettering on the Staten island ferry layout and how cool is that leafy envelope

Love the whole Staten Island Ferry layout ... awesome. The whole layout rocks. Might have to lift your idea ... cheating, I know ... but it's brilliant.

Didn't go on the ferry when we were there, but went out on one of the fast boats to check out the 'lady'.

That brought back a few special memories.

Photo A Day 2008

    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.
