Grandma Tuckett's watch.... the one piece of jewelry that I got when she passed away.  At the time I needed a "watch", but it was too special to me to wear it, so in a layout it went instead.   For this layout, I chose a picture of my grandma that I really liked...this was her, her expression, her smile and her glasses!  You knew she loved you every single time she came to your house, or you had the pleasure of going to hers!   Oh how I miss her hugs!  The journaling I used was handwritten, to reflect my thoughts about her, and my love for her.  I chose simple embellishments, the crochet butterfly reminded me of her blankets she used to crochet for us grandkids when we were little.      When I started with this layout, it was the embellishments that first caught my eye.  I wanted something special for this layout, and I definitely achieved the look!  This can be tweaked in a number of different ways...

Time Flies... an easy layout to recreate.  My son is now 24, when I started his album he was around 18 or so!  Waiting that long to start a child's album is hard because you have to remember so many different things!  This layout was very easy to recreate, even the sewing around the edges!  As I looked at what to do in this layout, I wanted to showcase how time flies when your kids are growing up.  One day they are babies, learning to go up and down stairs, and the next they are learning how to drive and getting their own lives going!  The supplies you need to recreate this layout is: Cardstock Saying stickers Buttons Floss for around the edges Black journaling pen Tags Sewing maching for sewing around the edges Needle for the floss Step one:  Find the photos you want to scrapbook. Step two:  I chose the saying stamps first, so I could decide on the colors of cardstock to use.  Step three:  On the base cardstock piece, us...
