Connie shares a lovely layout featuring a mix of neutral colors and strong patterns. I love her combination of textures, patterns and colors in the upper right corner. The layering of tags is a delight for the eye to take in.

I really like the beautiful array of neutral colors and embellishment Jenifer in this recent trip to Yosemite National Park. The shop is full of kraft colored items and Jenifer did a great job mixing and matching them.

DIY Journal by Alyssa McGrew

Stories of our Journey Journal

I made a pre-created book for our upcoming move overseas, in the hopes that it will help me collect all the assorted travel related items I want to keep and put them in a book in less then 6 months.  

Think it will work?  Well, whether it does add or not, when I finally get around to documenting the story, it will be very cute!  

I used a variety of tapes, envelopes and tags from the shop to add pockets and journaling areas to this book.  I'll be back to share photos when it is done!

Layout by Alyssa McGrew

Alyssa is our featured designer today with this cute layout about her son.

I asked my son recently to make his "normal" face, in an attempt to get a photo that did not feature his tongue or crossed eyes.  This is what I got.  Life with a little boy is a laugh an minute!  For this layout, I used a library card, chevron embossed tag, and kraft tape to add layers and texture to the area surrounding the photo.  As a bonus, the tag can be pulled out to read the journaling.
