Hot Cocoa Season layout

 Christmas is getting closer and closer. And now we have a little baby boy in our family it was time for his first Christmas photoshoot! And what is the most fun part after the shoot?! Scrapping those photos with the amazing Hot Cocoa Season Collection at Raspberry Road Designs!

This collection is so great! I love the warm cozy feeling of it and there are some way too cute elements in it! Here's my layout with one of the photos of the photoshoot:

I hope you got some inspiration to work with this fun collection!

Ghostly Fall Layout Share

 Hello everyone! 

For me the Macy's Thanksgiving Day is the harbinger of the Christmas season- once Santa arrives in his sleigh, all manner holiday movies and decor are acceptable! That doesn't mean my scrapping is done with fall though. I still have lots left to do! Thankfully I have a ton of Raspberry Road kits to work with. Her latest, Ghostly Fall, is soft and ephemeral, with plenty of subtle, spooky touches.

I whipped up quite a few pages in one sitting. I love how they all look kinda different even though I used the same collection:

Take a look at some of the parts of this pretty collection:

Elements

Ephemera (MY FAVORITE!)

Pocket Cards

And don't forget this gorgeous freebie:

I hope you liked my layouts and take the time to check out this great collection. Have an excellent day!

Autumn Mood

Happy (US) Thanksgiving, my friends!

I'm so happy to be celebrating my favorite holiday this week. The pies are baked, the turkey is brining, the butter is browned, and I'm sitting down to get some scrapbooking done. In the layout below, I've used the Raspberry Road Autumn Mood collection to capture some of my favorite October memories:

I loved layering up the different styles of botanicals, and the addition of a soft pink to a traditional fall palette? Excellent. I know that I could use this for any number of layouts, particularly of my baby girl when she was small. 

Take a closer look at some of the collection packs:

Elements

Ephemera

      

Wordart

There's so much more, including a freebie, in store. Go check it out!

Frosty Friends

 Hello everyone!

So, I know I'm a bit early, (or late, since these are spring photos and we are definitely creeping into winter) but I saw these photos of my kiddo eating snowflakes, and I knew that the Frosty Friends Collection was just right- even for March photos!

The colors were a spot-on match for my daughter's outfit. As much as I love chilly winter kits, I find that the colors of kids outerwear tend to clash with all the natural tones. It was a thrill to find this colorful kit to go with snowy photos!

Take a look at the rainbow of prettiness:

These washi's are the bomb. perfect amount of texture and transparency! Great for layers:

Check out the rest of the collection HERE and be sure to pick up the coordinating FREEBIE:

School Rocks Layout

 Happy Fall, Ya'll!

Bre here, excited to feature a layout created with the School Rocks collection. As soon as I saw colors in this adorable set of elements and papers, I knew it would compliment my daughter's elementary school artwork perfectly. Take a look- it's just right:

The mix of primary and softer colors makes this such a versatile collection for pages about the sweet kids in your life. I'll admit- I was absolutely thrilled to be able to scan that giant construction paper iguana and get it on a page and out the door. Mom-win!

There's also a choc-full freebie for the School Rules collection in the store. Be sure to pick this one right up:

How about you? Have you had a chance to play with this collection yet? We'd love to hear from you if you did! I'll be back later this week to share another layout I did yesterday from a completely different, but exactly what is needed as we head towards winter, kit. Bye!

Nostalgic Sea CT Layout

Hello, friends!

Bre here to show off one of the latest kits by the lovely Raspberry Road Designs- Nostalgic Sea!

Look at these scrumptious, romance-tinged, shore-themed elements and papers:

I also love all of the clusters, quickpages and a gorgeous FREEBIE  that coordinate with the collection. 

I played with some older, pre-pandemic vacation photos for this page, and can't wait to do some more with this pretty collection. 

Thanks so much for looking! I hope you've all had a great summer, here in the Northern Hemisphere!

Lucky Charm Pages

 Hello everyone!

Bre here, sharing some photos I scrapped using the Lucky Charm collection. I don't tend to scrapbook much about St. Patrick's Day- all of my older "party" photos were tiny and grainy, and our big celebration these days is our corned beef dinner- but then I saw all the beautiful clusters and wordart that referenced being lucky for people in our life, and knew I had to jump in. 

My kiddo is getting so big, so these cute, silly photos made me yearn for the preschool days:

And the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to document my current adoration of soda bread:

 I really like how they turned out!

Now the cool thing about Raspberry Road collections is that Susan often creates quickpages of her layouts for you to enjoy. If you're not familiar with quickpages, they are completed png layouts with holes for you to pop in your photos. I saw these multi-photo layouts and new they would be perfect for some older pictures from my pre-kiddo days that didn't have much in the way of story, but were still fun and sentimental to me. By using these png files, I could pop them in quickly without spending effort on these older pictures when I have more recent stories I'd like to focus on. 

I hope these layouts show you just how much fun this collection is. Do you have some "lucky" stories to scrap? Go to the shop and pick this up, STAT!

Now, off to scrap more spring stories. See you soon!

November Chill Layouts

Hello everyone!

Bre here! You know that awesome feeling when you can take a kit and use it for something it wasn't originally intended for? Yeah, that rush of re-using supplies is one of my favorite parts of digitally scrapbooking, and I take it whereever I can. The great thing about Raspberry Road collections is that they're so easy to reuse for lots of different subjects. 

Take the November Chill collection. Taken at face value, this should be something you scrap some late fall, chilly themed pics, yes? I thought so, too, but then I decided to play around:

This was from a hot fall trip to Six Flags- no snowflakes required.

This here is actually my girl's school photos. It happened in November, but there's nothing "chilly" about November in DC :) The color coordination made me happy though, so I went with it!

   This layout is a bit more traditional in that I used it for a November favorites layout. Again, loved how the icy paper colors brought out the blues in my photo, but the flowers kept things from being too dark. 

For my last layout- I jumped on the chance to use this artsy paper in the background to document some hand-dyeing my kiddo was working on. I loved the alcohol ink look, and the metallic accents. 

Want to try out this beautiful collection? Go to the store and download the freebie HERE:

Thanks for looking! I'll be back soon with my St. Patrick's Day layouts.

Winter Serenity Collection

 Hello my scrapping friends. 

Bre, here, excited to share some new layouts I made with Susan's Winter Serenity Collection.

You might that think living south of Washington DC I wouldn't find much use for winter themed collections, but for some reason, I always find ways to use these beautiful kits. Whether I'm telling the story of an unexpected storm, a refreshing hike, or a holiday mishap, I'm so glad I have such beautiful papers and elements to work with. Here are my most recent pages:

And as a refresher, this is what the whole Winter Serenity Collection looks like: 

You can snag it half-off right now during the Valentine's Day Sale. Grab it, and the coordinating freebie while you can!

Tree Farm

 Hey Folks!
