Kiwi Lane Doodles-Scrapbooking

With a house, kids, hubby, and job, my list of "things to do" keeps growing at an incredible rate. it overwhelms me to think about everything i need to accomplish on a weekly basis- and i know that only half ( on a good week), will actually be able to crossed off my list.
...and that's why i scrapbook. it's my "me" time. i can focus all of my thoughts, creativity  time, and heart into a 12x12 piece of paper. Of course, i have a HUGE pile of semi-organized pictures and an even bigger pile of untouched cardstock and paper, but when i have the opportunity to play... i run down to my work table in the basement and unwind with a cutter in one hand and an ink pad in the other.
Here is a page i was able to create over the spare moments of the past week... my youngest, Kristen, at 9 months old. Crazy to think she'll be 18 months old next week!

Thanks Kiwi Lane for the design inspiration ( you can read about my inspiration here: http://kiwilane.com/here/2013/02/dt-doodles-2013-week-7/) . Let's hope i win the weekly challenge so i can keep making these easy yet cute pages. :)

we are not going to talk about the fact that i still have yet to scrapbook my oldest when she was this age.... i'll catch up one day.... i hope.... :) 

Julie and Winston's cootie catcher programs

Julie and Winston loved our cootie catcher programs! using the same fonts and design as the example on etsy, we were able to create a fun program full of their wedding party!

The 8x8" lavender and light purple squares will be be folded to create the fun cootie catcher shape.  The top four "squares" include the bride and groom's name, wedding date and location. the next level is full of the wedding party's titles, and the inner flaps include the names of those very important people (and dogs!)

best of luck to the happy couple!!

Tieysha and Charles Offset fold over wedding programs

Tieysha and Charles loved our scroll programs but decided they had too much information to include, so they opted for the offset program. we were able to carry the "look" of the scroll program, including the fonts and scroll flourishes from the etsy example photos,  into their fold over to make it the best of both worlds!

The front of the program includes the bride and groom's names as well as the location of the ceremony. The wedding date is printed on the inside of the program, but can be seen due to the offset folding.  The inside also includes their wedding party and ceremony information. the back of the program showcases some amazing vendors and a special thank you to their guests.

the program is made of champagne pearlescent paper and includes black and caramel/gold printing.

Congrats to the bride and groom!

Joann and Tu's modern 4 layer wedding programs

Joann and Tu loved our four layer modern program "fans". Using a soft cream cardstock to accent the  purple and gold printing. 

the first page introduces their wedding, while the remaining pages include their wedding party, ceremomy order and a sincere thank you to their guests. All four pages are connected with a bronze colored brad allowing the pages to swivel.

Congrats to the happy couple!!!

Erin and Jeremy's 4 layer wedding fans

Erin and Jeremy loved our four layer modern program "fans". Using a crisp white cardstock, the aqua/teal and brown font adds a beautiful detail for their beach themed wedding. a simplistic starfish is included on each page in addition to the dot pattern.
the first page introduces their wedding, while the remaining pages include their wedding party, ceremomy order and a sincere thank you to their guests. All four pages are connected with a bronze colored brad allowing the pages to swivel.

Congrats to the happy couple and best of luck to both of you!

Zach's 1st birthday decorations

I got an email from Rachel- Zach had a great first birthday party!

http://scrappinginnovations.blogspot.com/2012/07/zachs-1st-birthday-invites.html

She sent me some pictures of the party! We created food tags for the various cereals, and the thank you tags for her candy/plastic shovel favors :)

thanks, Rachel, for sharing! congrats to zach on the big oh-one! :)

Lisa and Michael's "landscape" programs

Lisa and Michael loved our landscape booklet, however, they had a lot of information to put into the program! By turning the orientation to a "portrait" mode, we were able to include all of their information without adding additional pages ( and cost!) to the booklets. 

The booklets were made using an old gold metallic cover and champagne metallic insert pages tied together with a chocolate brown ribbon.

congrats to the bride and groom!
