Larger than life

This is my entry for the Paper Variety challenge. This week it's a recipe challenge



This was my first recipe challenge and it was really fun! The movie title was already right in the picture. 'Larger than Life' is what they call the Yukon forest between Alaska and Canada. It's the most beautiful and interesting place I've ever been. There are lakes where the water is 2 different shades of blue, a dwarf forest, mountain goats and waterfalls, so many waterfalls! It's the greates place on earth for me.
'Larger than life' is also the title of a movie from way back in '96. When I was looking through my pictures to scrapbook, I saw the one of the Yukon sign and it just came to me 'hey, that's a movie too!'  

I found my backgroung page in the DCWV Taj Mahal stack. I used some prima flowers and a chipboard button I bought a really long time ago in a 99cent package of chipboard shapes. I like good deals!
I did my journaling in the middle because I like the swirls in the corners, the little falling flowers and the open space around the photos.

 


Have a great rest of the weekend, everyone!

I'm so excited about this blog hop! I've loved Faber-Castel products for a long time and it was so much fun to combine them with my favorite DCWV textures. There’s some great prizes too- Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft and DCWV will be giving away $75 in product at the end of the hop.  To win, follow the list below and leave a comment .  The hop will end at 5PM EST on Friday, March 28 th .  The winner will be announced on Monday, March 31 st on each of the company’s blogs.    I really wanted a special page for these pictures. They give me a very HAPPY feeling  and I love the sun rays coming through the trees. I wanted to mimic that in the background paper. I thought the woven craft cardstock was a great background because its a little less stark than white for these pictures.   I wanted the journaling to be more private so I made it a pull tab behind this cut out tag from the Bohemian Sunrise stack.    ...

Christmas with Clear Scraps & DCWV

Image
Welcome to Day 2 of the DCWV and Clear Scraps blog hop! You should have come from Britt's blog: http://pinkpapercrowns.blogspot.com Thanks for making it this far!  On to the project... I might have a LO or 2 about Christmas....Why? I just never get around to making more of them! The Holidays are usually too crazy and then I get into doing LOs of just ever day stuff or travel pics... and the holidays just get forgotten.  This year, I'm ready! I'll have the album pre-made, I just have to stick on the pictures and add some journaling! I used this 8x8 tabbed acrylic album from Clearscraps to create a Christmas mini that is ready to go.  The papers are Christmas Memories with a little bit of the Christmas and winter Diecut stack, the Christmas basics 6x6 & the Burlap stack. I love clear albums because I like to see the layers through the clear pages.    I folded the 12x12 papers in half and cut them to create pockets for ...
