The Write Stuff: Leave it to Dad + The Write Stuff: Leave it to Mom

In all honestly I don't love this layout, but I am happy that I made it.  Scrapbooking has been haunting me.  I find it intimidating and yet alluring all the same.  I love seeing the beautiful layouts online and wish I had the courage to attempt making one and I did...twice this week!  Am I a master scrapbooker?  In no way, but my layouts do tell stories about people I care about, I challenged myself and I had fun.  That I believe is part of the point of scrapbooking.

I chose a story that is about my parents and yet unrelated to the actual event captured in the photograph.  I want to remember what my parents say and one of the things I love most about The Write Stuff: Leave it to Dad and The Write Stuff: Leave it to Mom is that it encourages journaling about what parents say and do. I felt it would be fun to add the speech bubbles I had stamped on patterned paper in grey ink directly on the picture.

I began the layout using the Elle's Studio patterned paper that I then sprayed with calico shine Mister Huey's by Studio Calico over a burst mask by Studio Calico.  I then shook drops of October Afternoon Sprinklers in springs and Mr. Huey's in bloomer.  Next I stamped the argyle from The Write Stuff: Leave it to Dad in grey ink.

I had stamped the argyle so it was behind the speech bubbles and wood veneer.  The speech bubbles were cut from a patterned paper and then stamped.

Now that you have seen me make a scrapbook layout, I hope you will too!  And should you make one using w&w products make sure to add it on our join in to win! page.

Have a very happy, creative {inter}National Scrapbook Day!
