Some people doodle with shapes and pictures, I love to doodle with words. I have tried the old take notes with an outline form, and I can write it out, but I sure can't remember it. A few years back in Sunday School (adult one) I found my mind slipping off, counting ceiling tiles and making faces at little kids as out of touch with the speaker as myself. I grabbed an announcement paper from the foyer of the church and pulled out two pens a red and black, and started taking notes. It was like magic, fun and mesmerizing. As time went on, I added different pens and types of papers to my little note taking bag, and have found myself learning and remembering what is taught in Sunday School. I use this technique for so many areas now, to help me remember.In digital art, remembering memories is the same, and you can use words to make a page especially when you might not have a … [Read more...]

Pocket Scrapping meets Art Journaling + a Challenge!
Hi, everyone! Sarah, here. I'm so excited to share a project with you that I've been working on this year. I got an amazing deal on a Snap! album last December and thought it would be fun to create a hybrid pocket version of an art journal. So I set to work and created this page as a sort of jumping off point.I had such a hard time waiting for 2014 to start so I could create more pages for this album. One layout and I was already hooked. As soon as January rolled around, I went about documenting my One Little Word. I've had so much fun creating pages for this album over the past few months and I'm so happy to be able to share this project that has brought me such joy with all of you today.If you're interested in seeing more of my work check out my Snap! Album Project Scrap Stack here.And now for the exciting news! Over the course of the summer I'll be … [Read more...]

Oh Baby! Documenting growth through the first year…
Hi Happy Scrappers!Polly Liana here, sharing a few ideas about how to document a year of growth. If you've ever ventured out with a baby, you know that everyone is constantly telling you how fast they grow. I got the warning so many times, I decided I needed to do some documenting of monthly growth and change. In this case, I'm using my baby, Phoebe who was born last April. When her big sister Morgan was born a few years ago, I would document her growth by taking a photo of her in our blue chair every month…. When Phoebe was born, I knew I wanted to do the blue chair thing again but I wanted to add to it so I could use it like a baby book. I used … [Read more...]
