a family reunion recorded

My sister was living in Italy for 18 months as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and she finally returned to us last weekend! My family traveled to be together at the airport to welcome her home and of course many photos and videos were taken to record these moments. There's something so right about having your family geographically in the same location.

For interNational Scrapbooking Day (weekend!) I put this two-page layout together of the weekend:

Products used: Welcome Photo Templates and Word Art and My Tribe Journal Cards

Products used: My Tribe Elements and Welcome Photo Templates and Word Art and Rave Reviews word art (I wish I could remember where that airplane card came from! I have so many files I can't find it again!)

My 2016 goals include taking more videos so I compiled a quick highlight video of the airport reunion you can watch (warning: you may need tissues!).

My Interview on Pocket Talk

Hi Scrapping friends!

A few weeks ago, the awesome Jess Forster interviewed me for her podcast, "Pocket Talk." She's interviewed some of my favorites scrapbookers already like Caylee, Rachel, Jessica and Trisha to name a few, so it was honor to be asked! She asked me about my process and what equipment I use, and other fun questions. I love the scrapbooking community and since I don't get the opportunity to chat about scrapbooking in my real, daily (non internet) life, it was so fun and exhilarating to chat with Jess about it! It just went up today and you can check it out HERE.

Have a lovely weekend!

Paislee Press Creative Team

Excited to be on another great creative team- Paislee Press! Liz and I share a love of minimalist scrapbooking. Her products are so clean and simple. In the best way. Here's her store if you're not familiar. Creative teams keep my juices flowing and make me design out of the box. 

I've only been designing for a few weeks on the team so here are my first/only two projects: 

This one was used using the Behind the Lens kit and journal cards. I have a feeling that top left card will be used over and over. So versatile and I LOVE stripes!

Does anyone use Design D anymore!? I still have a bunch of them so I try to throw one in every now and then. It usually takes me a bit longer, but this one just came together and I kind of love it! Sometimes lack of color is just as beautiful as lots of color, you know? Mixing black and white with color photos can be tricky to get right, but I think this works. This collection is called Bright Ideas- elements, papers and journal cards.
