I stopped working three weeks ago. I really thought I would have more time to get myself organized and be more on top of my scrapbooking. Boy, was I wrong!!! I have been busier than ever! I keep finding so many fun things to go and do with the kids. Maybe once summer is over, I will buckle down and get some things done. For now I am just going to enjoy making the memories! 🙂
This month I am using the Prickly Pear Workshop on the Go Kit from Close to My Heart. It is super cute! I honestly didn’t know if I would like it that much when I first saw it. Once I pulled it out of the package and starting putting it together I was in love!
I decided to use this kit with some birthday party pictures I needed to do from a couple of years ago. I also had some spring pictures that I thought worked perfectly. I had so much fun with the little sequins in this kit! Here are the layouts I created.
Whew…..I made it another month with my scrapbooking challenge!!! I still think the Little Dreamer Kit is my favorite collection right now, but this one is definitely a close second. I may take next month to get pictures organized and make some cards. If you are more into cards, the Prickly Pear collection is really cute.
I used to love scrapbooking and made one for the first year of my boys lives. I totally need to get back into it. It was so relaxing!
I love it! I am in the process of doing my daughter’s first year. I need to get all the pictures organized. That is sometimes the hardest part for me.
The cactus paper is so cute! What a lovely scrapbooking kit.
It’s great to hear that you’re enjoying the Summer with your family.
Hope you find more time to scrapbook soon. 🙂

Thanks Kat! It was a fun kit! Yes, I’m sure I’ll find a little more time once school starts again.
I had the same visions of scrap booking being a stay at home mom. In the past 5 years I think it has literally happened twice! Before having kids I would spend hours upon hours scrap booking and leave my supplies layed out until the next day. But with kids this is not possible! I love the idea of the scrap booking kits, it takes all the guesswork out and still comes out looking personalized! Great post. Now I need to get back at it!
You are so right! It is way harder to have supplies out and find the time now. The kits have made it so much easier for me!
I just discovered the crafting tape and I want to get back into scrapbooking. You’re pages look fantastic!
Thank you Yolanda! Yes, crafting tape is amazing! The supplies are the best part!
Awesome tips! I’ve always wanted to get into scrapbooking! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Vanessa! If you decide to get into it and have questions, please let me know. I’d love to help! 🙂
This is #scrapbookgoals. I bought a ton of scrapbook stuff and then never did anything with it. This is giving me some inspiration!
Awesome! So glad I could inspire you!
I haven’t scrapbooked since high school – this post has made me want to try again:) Thanks so much for the inspiration!
That is great Paula! I bought my first supplies in college and was hooked ever since!
thanks for simplifying this, your work is inspiring
Thank you Jessica!
Your pages came out great! I’m a scrapbooker but I have been seriously slacking lol. I usually do 12×12 pages but I’m leaning toward trying project life.
I’ve wanted to look into project life as well. It seems like a more simple way to scrapbook and I love the look of it!
