My New England Scrapbook (In progress: Updated 4-13-08)

[Yzerbear19]

Like my Disney album, I'm going to post all of my layouts in one thread so that when its done the entire book will be here, or at least all of those that I choose to post.

The first layout I worked on is The House of the Seven Gables in Salem, MA. For the title I used Base Camp. For the small letters I cut them at 1 inch rectangle then used the letters. The bracket is from Stamped.

For the next set I used Base Camp for the title on the first page, then Stamped on the second. While we were waiting for our tour this pretty kitty came up to us. He had a tag that said his name was Dusty, but the ladies in the gift shop said he was a stray. He was really pretty though and very nice. The frame around the journaling under his name is also from Stamped. The pictures on the bottom of page 3 are covered to protect our privacy. They are just pictures of us standing in the doorway.

I use the same name on all the boards I post. It makes it real easy to stalk me.

Thanks for sharing. I'm taking a Canada/New England Cruise next Sept. I just scraplife some of your ideas...........

Here are some new layouts.

First one is "Beauty Breaks In Everywhere" - This quote is from Ralph Waldo Emerson. These photos are from the House of the Seven Gables. I used Alphalicious, Base Camp, and Stamped Cricut cartridges for the title. The black border is one of the felt border that is presticky. It was a pain in the butt to put down. The other quote on 2nd page is from Nathaniel Hawthorne. I thought that was an appropriate quote to use.

"Just Call Us Wicked" - I got the idea for this layout from a cute sign we bought at one of the museums in Salem. While we were in Salem we went to "Salem Vintage Photography" at the Museum Place Mall where they take your picture dressed as witches in front of a fun background. It was a lot of fun. They take the pictures in color, black and white, and in green. I liked the green and printed only the green ones for my layout. I used Base Camp and Stamped for the title. The black background on the first page is actually a piece of black glitter paper, but it doesn't show up well in the photos.

Very nice! I've lived in Massachusetts my whole life and I've never been to the House of the Seven Gables....your pages are making me think I may have to do something about that.

Those are awesome! The black felt border is really pretty. And I love the green and black pages.

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

the wicked pages would be so cool!!!
I want to do the the old timey pics with the kids some day.

"Earth Laughs in Flowers - This is another quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson. These photos were taken in the gardens at the House of the Seven Gables. While I was taking pictures of the butterfly my sister tapped me on the shoulder and asked for the camera. I was confused at first, but then saw what she did. She actually took these photos.

I used Base Camp, Opposites Attract and Stamped for the title.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Love the new additions!!! Keep them coming... gives me more and more inspiration!!!

 

[aroyer]

Love the new pages! Keep 'em coming!

That felt border may have been a pain, but it looks very nice with that paper.

These are the layouts I worked on this weekend. All of them are from York, ME.

Seaside Serenity - This was our first view of the Atlantic Ocean. One of the things we really wanted to see was the Atlantic. I used Base Camp for the title and the dog tag at the bottom.

Closeups:

Wave Kissed Toes - Once we saw the ocean we wanted to go play in the water, but we couldn't find a safe spot right away. Once we did, we knew we had a to get a photo of our feet in the water. I used Alphalicious for the title using the short stack option then chalked all the edges.

Closeups:

Frolicking in the Ocean - You wouldn't know it, but this layout is all about me playing in the water. I think "frolic" is a fun word and kept using it while we were there so I used it for the title. I used Base Camp for the title.

Closeups:

What Lies Beneahth - These pages are all about my sister playing in the water. She wasn't as comfortable in the water as I was. She was afraid the waves were going to knock her down. I really don't know why she was scared since she is an excellent swimmer and we used to spend the entire summer playing in the pool. And she has gone swimming in the gulf of Mexico before. She's just weird I guess. She picked the title herself. I used Base Camp for the title.

Closeups:

I worked on a couple more, but they aren't done yet. I'm going to try to get some done during the week, but we'll see if that happens.

More fantastic pages. I love seeing how you use patterned paper as I have always been a little afraid of it and how things would go with it but seeing yours makes me want to try some of it.
