National Scrapbooking Day

I wasn't able to spend all day yesterday scrapping--I went to a baby shower for a friend and then drove through horrible rain to pick up my boys after they saw the Avengers with Dad, who was then playing games with friends. Still, I finished off a few pages today that I started yesterday. Here they are:

This one is one of my Things pages for the class Twelve. I do not covet shoes, which may make me somewhat unusual for a girl.

I love this little cluster of stuff. I used bits from the kit Story Hour at Studio Calico, plus pieces from my stash. Something I like to do: I use my embossing buddy to cover the sticky part of stickers, then adhere them to the page with dimensional adhesive.

This page I used a sketch for from Studio Calico. I recorded a little moment my son and my grandmother had this past winter. Again, I used the Story Hour kit.

I haven't really known what to do with these photos, but I got an idea from all the challenges floating around on NSD. I stamped the journaling, which I'm still  not sure about--I really do like handwriting the journaling!--but the title and journaling immediately came into my brain when I saw the letter stamp challenge at Studio Calico.

 

  

I also used confetti as a part of the challenge. I added stitching just because.

 

Finally, I made this page, which has been in my brain for a while. It's journaling heavy, which is unusual for me. You can click on the page to read it; I'm revisiting some of my early TV shows and drawing a connection to today.

To paper piece the TV, I  found an image online, copied it to a Word document, enlarged it, then cut it out and used it as a tracing template. For the whole page, I was going for a retro look, with sharp shapes, color combo from the past, and retro images (the TV and asterisks). It's not a typical page for me, but I had a lot of fun making it. So I put it in the Fun category of pages for the class Twelve.
