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. Click on the images for supplies used.

Although I often scrap seasonally, I scrapped the this layout about a vacation we took in 1995 because I found my husband looking at the photo on his computer. I figured that if it meant that much to him, it was probably a memory worth documenting! The photo was taken with a film camera, and we have a scanned version in our photo database.

This past month, the Simple Scrapper Membership took part in a “Stash Bash.” Jennifer Wilson encouraged us to use up our supplies in the process of organizing them. I had chosen these heavily themed papers by My Mind’s Eye a couple of years ago specifically for these photos of my husband during our vacation in 2006 to Belize.

Finally, I used the Story Starter – “Combine photos from different cameras on one layout to tell a more complete event story” –  to scrap a different memory from my wedding than I have in the past. The top photo is one that I took of my reflection in a mirror. Both of these photos were originally color, but I felt that they worked better with one another as black and white photos.

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!

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 was drawn towards memories from sunny vacations! (In other words, I was not scrapping “with” the seasons as I usually do!)

I scrapped a Disney World trip from summer 2004. I have really been enjoying the combination of orange and blue of late.

I scrapped a day at the beach here in the Pacific Northwest from a few years ago. And again, used some blue and orange!

Finally, for this month’s Story Starters, I created a layout about a boat trip we made during a vacation to Guatemala a few years ago. It was quite the adventure getting into a small boat to head out across Lake Peten Itza for Flores, a city on an island.

This month I scrapped photos from December and New Year’s Day. First up is a layout about the annual trip my husband and I take to a local nursery for our holiday greenery.

I can count on one hand the photos that we took of our two sons in 2012. So as 2013 was rung in, I insisted we celebrate with a photo! We headed up to Snoqualmie Pass for a quick, and cold, photo at the base of the ski area.

For this month’s Story Starters theme – “Hopes and Dreams” – I compared the hopes and dreams for my eldest son from two different time periods. What better time to “take note” than upon a life event such as graduation. The photo on the left was taken at his college graduation in December; the photo on the right was taken when he was about nine months old.
