April Simple Scrapper Blog Hop + Giveaway

Welcome! Today I’m sharing layouts I created with this month’s Simple Scrapper Premium Membership templates, as well as this month’s Story Starters.

This month, I turned to memories from 2000 for my layouts using the templates. We didn’t own a digital camera in 2000, or if we did, we didn’t take many photos with it. At any rate, I have a box of film prints from that year. Periodically I’ll go through the film boxes and scan photos. The beauty of scanning is that I can then crop the photos as I see fit, which I did with these.

I also scrapped a memory from a trip to DC, which we took in April 2000 just before we moved from Boston. I’ve never scrapped any of these photos, which are now 13 years old! I have dozens of photos from the trip, but I don’t have any current plans to scrap the trip as a whole. That being said, it was fun capturing a small piece of the trip.

Finally, I used one of the Story Starters – “Reflect on a relationship today using a photo of the relationship from the past” –  to scrap my relationship with our Golden Retriever. I used colors for this layout that I don’t typically use – aqua and pink. Given that Ginger and I are the only two girls in the family, it was rewarding to create something more feminine for a change!
