WOW am I a Slacker!

I haven't posted since March!  WOW. I have really gotten off track.  Its amazing how easy it is to push scrapbooking off when I get busy.  Which is a shame because this craft is really a relaxing craft for me. ck

I played with CTMH "No Worries" paper pack and compliment pack.  This was a tough pack for me. I loved it, but we do not vacation at the beach (to my chagrin HAHA).  We vacation at amusement parks.  So I tried to come up with a way to use this paper pack for Disney pictres.

This kit is so cute and can be used for a multude of photos.  If you would like to order this paper pack, it is available while supplies last until July 31st.  I will be doing a raffle after convention next week.  Anyone placing an order will get an entry into the drawing. Every $50 in product ordered will be another entry.  Anyone scheduling a gathering (a date on the calendar) will get 2 entries.  There will be some new product raffled off as well as a cute little CTMH portable garbage can.  I will also have some retiring product as well!  dont miss out!  You can order on my website: Shop Nikki's Webite

Getting layouts done in 2017 Week 4

Well I got a lot done this weekend!  I started with a new paper pack. The rustic home fundamentals. I added additional cardstock and I used the SnapShot Compliments.  I made one of the layouts interactive as well.   If interested in these products please contact me here: Email Nikki
I did do a few layouts in my pile, but I need to watermark them so I will work on that later this week.

Did you get any scrapbooking done this weekend?  If so, go over to my facebook page and post pics!  or if on instragram or twitter post with the hashtags #nikkidscrafty or #gettinglayoutsdonein2017 so I see them!

#gettinglayoutsdonein2017 Week #3

Well I just got in under the wire, but here is week 3!

It may seem strange that the winter break layout has Disney pictures on it, but in 2015 a Disney vacation was what we did on Winter break! So I added some Mickey heads and went over them with our clear glitter pen so they would sparkle too just like the Castle!

How are your layouts going?  post them on social media with hashtags #nikkidscrafty and #gettinglayoutsdonein2017! I would love to see them! Or feel free to post them on my facebook page!

Struggling to scrapbook non events?

I love scrapbooking as most of you know. My favorite photos to scrap are from our Disney trips. We are DVC members and we are blessed enough to go visit the world once or twice a year.
Next my favorite would be stuff for my kids. But many of them end up being events. Sporting events, school activities, holidays. Sometimes however I want to do something that isn't an event of some type. Almost two years ago I posted this blog post with some ideas for non event scrap booking. Ideas for non event scrap booking. I pull this up periodically to get ideas for some layouts.

I came across this article being shared on Facebook and I thought it would be interesting to figure out how to scrapbook. The article is about helping you write your story (and is a good follow up for my blog post on journaling here: Journaling) but from a family history perspective. It got me thinking though. Could I do this and scrapbook it? 52 questions  is the article I found.  I think some of them will be challenging- but some will get me talking about family history with my parents.  So I am adding this to my personal challenges this year. I won't get through them all this year, but I am going to attempt to do a couple of them a month.

Anyone with me? Anyone want to try it? Let's see what awesome things we can come up with!

#gettinglayoutsdonein2017 Week 2

Here is week 2 of my personal challenge!  Another older Christmas pack.  I used the CTMH Memory Protectors as well. I used both the horizontal and vertical ones.  I decided to go with the ones with all the same size as they both hold 12 extra pictures and that is what I had of both.  These are pictures from the Disney Christmas parade.  There is nothing like Disney Magic at Christmas!
