4 Things I Love & Cherish- 12×12 Scrapbook Layout

July 11, 2016

Hi, all!  I’m back… again… (for like the 3rd time in 24 hours -LOL!) to share a layout I created using the lovely Jen Hadfield Everyday Collection.  I thought I would walk you through how I made it just in case the video I’ll link below doesn’t explain what I was doing very thoroughly.  🙂

So to begin, I printed my photos at home extra small so they would fit on the four standard size shipping tags.   I knew I wanted to put the tags into little pockets to make a fun interactive page, so let me show you how I made them.  To begin pick your papers and cut them to size:

Your paper should be cut to 5.5″ wide by 4.5″ tall.

Next, you want to score the paper to create nice lines to fold along.  First score at 1.5″.

Then score at 4″.

This is where I might have been confusing on the video- I said to turn the paper and score again at 4 inches for the bottom flap.  The reason I say to do this and not to turn 90 degrees and score at 1/2″ is because I am right handed and it is much easier for me to score at 4 inches than at 1/2″ because my left hand has more paper to hold down when I do it the way I instructed.   See what I mean?

Have I just made this more complicated than necessary??  😉  Basically, just make sure there’s a little flap at the bottom to fold up.

When you’re done, cut off the bottom edges on each side how it’s shown in the photo below, and if you have a circle punch, you can make a thumb notch by punching half a circle at the top of the paper.

Now the sides will overlap and you can just glue one side over the other to make the pocket.  🙂

As you can see, I did that to all four papers, and I also adhered my photos to the tags as well.  Next comes the decorating.

4thingsILovelayout-5192
I took a strip of vellum cut to 8.5 x 2″ and placed it on my layout to eyeball where I would put the alpha stickers if the pockets were in place.  Then I centered them on the vellum and took it to my sewing machine.

Next comes my favorite part- I pulled some doilies from my stash and also found an old book page with the number 4 on top.  I knew I could use that to write out “4 Things I Love & Cherish”…

4thingsILovelayout-5212
I used these Tim Holtz word stickers I’ve had in my stash for yeeeeeaaaars, and found the words I was looking for.

Oh how I love these ampersands…

And that’s that!  (Also, taking screenshots of funny text messages or Instagram posts are very much worth printing and documenting!)

That’s it!  Hope you enjoyed!!

Did I just throw the "softest birthday party ever? Did I just throw the "softest birthday party ever?" 🦄 Can confirm. 🤣I surprised Dana with a Letterkenny themed party this year along with his very own Bonnie McMurray (@kamillakowal) to serve him a Puppers. Did he love it? That's a Texas sized 10-4. 🥰 Anyone that watches that show would get all the references I plastered around the house. Allegedly.Happy 38th birthday, babe! I'm glad you enjoyed your day cause I couldn't think of a better way to celly, boys. Ferda. 😉@letterkennyproblems
Good morning from Cinder! 🥰😽 Good morning from Cinder! 🥰😽
I've recently begun taking a low dose SSRI for PMD I've recently begun taking a low dose SSRI for PMDD/depression, & while it's not necessarily everyones business to know this information... I mean, it's me. Open book. And spoiler alert: these medicines work. 🤣It's amazing how you can walk around under a dense cloud for years & not even become truly aware of it until one day the fog is debilitating. In the past month, I've finally admitted to myself & everyone around me that something was terribly wrong. I journal daily, & those old journal entries are painful for me to read. Thank God for doctors/nurses/NPs that listen closely & offer help to we that are hurting.As it says in my Cognitive Behavioral Therapy workbook, "PMDD is to PMS what major depression is to feeling 'depressed' when one's favorite team loses." 👏👏👏 All this to say, if you have PMDD, DO NOT IGNORE IT and don't let anyone dismiss it as PMS. Well meaning people who just wish to empathize and give me assurance that I'm not alone have pushed my legitimate pain and concerns aside for years, telling me it's "normal." Finally, I found a doctor that listened and diagnosed me with PMDD, moderate depression, panic disorder, & anxiety. And I've gotten help.In my haze, I've caused destruction. Said things I can't take back but things I can at least attempt to apologize for. I've ignored friends without becoming aware that I've done it. I felt alone for so long, even in conversations & even when my body was physically present with friends. But once the fog lifted I discovered something beautiful-- the people I love never left my side, even if I couldn't see them. The density of my depression blocked them from view, but now that I see the sun again, I see their faces smiling back.I made this art journaling page the day I took my first pill. I held it in my hand crying that I didn't want to need it. But once I took it, relief. I was proud of myself for calling it quits on the mind games I was playing with myself. The "just meditate." The "exercise more and you'll feel better." The thousands of dollars on alternative treatments just to avoid the stigma of a pill I swore I'd never take. But Prozac won. I won. And everyone else did, too. I'm back. ❤
I got this journal a while back, but it hasn't bee I got this journal a while back, but it hasn't been used because 1. The leather absolutely stunk to the point of triggering a migraine when I first unwrapped it (like what on earth chemicals did they soak this in?!)... and 2. I didn't care for the paper inside because I'm picky. 😉 But after a month or two of airing out the stank, I think I figured out how to use it. I was already planning on making a mini album using @maggiehdesign Garden Party collection to document this years gardening with the girls, and now I've got the perfect cover. Time to take this leather book apart and rebind it using the papers from the collection! I'll show ya when I'm done... whenever that may be. 😋 Anyways, happy Monday! Hope you all have a great start to the week! ❤#maggieholmesgardenparty #cratepaper #memorykeeping #minialbum
