Scrapbooking skills for the decor

I love the fact that because
I have so much scrapbooking
supplies and skills from being
involved with this craft for so
many years, that whenever I
get the hankering to create
something for a wall in my home,
I just go to my scrapbook room
and design away!

Falling into Fall is published!

Here is the recently published fall set for storytellers. It was my favorite one I designed to date. It is included in their October pack and I am way excited about it. Hey check out
www.storytellersclub.com and see all the great monthly packs if you are a regular scrapbooker or click on the digital side if you are into digital scrapbooking. Either or both are great.

Included is a picture of what I designed before I send it off to them, and then the finished product in the form of cardstock punchouts for pages. It is great fun for me to be involved in this designing job. I have just turned in one for December that I have been informed will be
included in the December pack as well. Yeah!

This Layout done for a contest assignment, but the contest was canceled after It was completed.

This page below, is unique indeed. My Granddaughter Afton standing at the Labyrinth at Kayenta, Utah. I would love to really know what she was thinking when she saw the labyrinth.

Our summer Trip to San Diego in July of 2007
These pictures were taken with my older Canon
film camera. I was kicking against the whole
digital movement, but now I love not having to load film
and worry about how many pictures I can take.
Love Love Love my new little digital canon.

"Sweet and Sour" Caleb eating his sour baby food. What a cute kid!

Some of the last great pictures to be taken with the
film Canon. These were all pictures I took in San Diego.

New scrapbook pages

Evelyn sitting in the fall leaves, I love these pictures.
This page was completed during the last
visit to Fairview with my scrapbooking pals.

"Peek A Boo Punkins" It looks like I have done
a lot of pages of Evelyn, but these are the only
ones I have done of her since she was born, accept one.
She is quite the subject matter

The New Leavitt Family.
What an adorable little family.
This page was also completed in Fairview in November.

This layout was done after my good friend Linda and I
went for a most fantastic hike in the mountains of Utah.
My camera was not the greatest at that time, so the pictures
were not that great. We saw so many wildflowers that day,
we could not believe our eyes, and it was a hard thing
to come down off the mountain. Our families were about to
send out the posie to look for us!

New Shadow Box with old stuff (featured in the magazine)

I got out my old Christmas decorations from when I was a child. (What little I had) and put together this vintage shadow box to forever remind me of my childhood Christmas' I am thinking of doing this eventually for all of my children. This was viewed in the article from Elan Woman Magazine which was done in Dec. 2008.

Christmas page

This page was done to showcase all the many collections we get out at Christmas time at our house.

More favorite pages

This layout is special because it talks about Kylee and her beautiful eyes. With her artificial eye looking so great, and the light you see in it that makes it look so absolutely real. It means so much to all of us that fake eyes look so wonderful nowadays.

This page was published in a Memory Makers book especially for Teen layouts in 2005. Extra photos are in the big pocket on first page.

The Desert was in full bloom this spring after a lot of rainfall in the winter months.
Our Handsome son Isaac and his beautiful Bride.

These pages are some more of my favorite layouts that I have done, only these are not the newest recently done pages. Click on the pictures to view the detail better.

Adding new scrapbook pages

This is the layout, that is 10 years worth of scrapbooking fun at Pine Valley, Utah with the gals. That is why it is so elaborate, and busy, and I had so much fun creating it!
This layout was of the newborn pictures I took of my first grandson, but the layout was just recently completed.
This is one of my all time favorite layouts. Due to the fact that the subject matter was beautiful and the pictures, taken by Debbi Leavitt were spectacular.
I did not have any paper that would go good with the little plaid shirt, so I came up with the ribbon border sewn on the side. 'So Much' of a cute baby!
Loved this paper with these pictures, taken on Christmas Eve, by Tara Askeroth Leavitt. She is a fabulous photographer.

The scrapbook pages above were more recently completed projects.

SIMPLE, CONTEMPORARY, OR ELABORATE

Being in between kid and teen is not always fun. But this layout shows that this page has left that all behind. "Tweeners no more"
This is one of my favorites and was really quite simple. Tara and Trent's engagement photos, taken by Debbi Leavitt, at the beaches of So. California were fabulous. Doing a page of them was
so cool, simply titled "By the Sea"













A simpler page that can easily hang on the wall or be put on a 12x12 clipboard.
Thought I should show a simple page verses a more elaborate detailed one.

A Special Valentine's night dinner for Todd and I,
in our own Dining Room. This one happened in 2005.

"Snowflakes" is a page I did for my oldest grandchild Cameron two years ago.
I love the feel of a winter wonderland.
B is for Bold, Blossoming, Beautiful BREYA
" I'm ready " was done when my daughter Kylee, was getting ready to go off to college.

This page was published in Memory Maker's Magazine in 2006 and hangs on my wall in a shadowbox frame.


This page was half of a layout I did in tribute to my mother. "Tell me about when you were young"
I was fortunate to have it published in Memory Makers Magazine before she passed away, so
she was able to see the tribute from me in print. I also have two that came out in 2006 in a book put out by Making Memories on "Scrapbooking for Teens."
I will do individual scrapbook pages for framing as Wall decor or two page layouts for albums or whole albums.

personalized decor

This is like a large framed scrapbook page for the wall. I take large frames and place pictures and embellishments with a title, and no glass, as to accommodate the 3 dimensional look. Clik on any of the pictures on the page to enlarge and see detail.
Would you like to welcome everyone to your home or have a giant framed scrapbook page on the wall? It can be fancy or simple, you decide!






Seen here are some of the pillows for home decoration. I also make baby burp cloths, baby blankets, crib pillows, decorative bed, or couch pillows. (all can be personalized and customized to fit any colors and decor)
