Basic Scrapbook Sketch / 20 Feb ’12

I’ve been thinking about doing a layout like this for awhile now but I just never got around to. So this sketch was the perfect excuse (or motivation) to do it (:

Project #12: Starbucks Lovin’

Supplies: Bazzill Basics cardstock; Amy Tangerine, Studio Calico, Echo Park patterned papers (I don’t know what brand the orangey-red paper under the ribbon is though!); American Craft ribbon, bones thickers; buttons; tag; Kaiser Craft journal clear stamp; Amy Tangerine lovestruck clear stamp; heart punch; buttons; white pen

Everyone who knows me well enough knows that I love Starbucks (: But for more than just the coffee, I love Starbucks for all the fun I’ve had, all the love and warmth I’ve felt, all the moments I’ve enjoyed, all the people I’ve connected with, all the memories I’ve made over a cup of coffee at this place. I had so much fun putting this layout together!

My layout has fewer details and layers than the original. And I moved the title below the photo and moved the photo to the middle of the page.

I used the leftover punch outs from the punched hearts at the bottom of the page.

I curled the edges of the banner and didn’t glue them down for added dimension.

Oh look, no pinwheels or baker’s twine this time!

Okay, no bragging, but I love e-ver-ythinggg about this layout: from the topic at hand, to the photo, journaling, patterned papers, and everything in between. This layout clicks and resounds with me.

This makes me happy (:

I enjoyed the first half of my weekend today: spending time with my brother, lunch and catching up with my good friend, going scrapbook shopping…

But I was really bummed because Made with Love (or any of the other scrapbook stores, for that matter) was completely sold out of the Dear Lizzy goodies I’d been hoping to get (especially that roller date stamp and the jar and camera clear stamps!)

So ahhh, I’ll just have to be patient and wait for the next shipment to come in in a couple of weeks.

Enjoy every single bit of your weekend (:

  1. Hi! I’ve been following your site for awhile and your scrapbooks have been a great inspiration to try some of my own! Where do you get supplies online? Do you know of any good and reputable online retailers?

    1. Hey Amy! I’m glad that you’ve been inspired; thank you for your encouragement (: I usually get my supplies from my local scrapbook store. But I heard Two peas is pretty good if you order online! (:
