Fuss Free: Journal The Journey 3 & 4 and Free With Purchase!

Journal cards are in almost every digital kit that I purchase. I'm not a pocket scrapbooker or hybrid scrapbooker, but these cards are so cute, I want to put them all over my pages! I created Fuss Free: Journal The Journey 3 and Fuss Free: Journal The Journey 4 to help me use all those fantastic journal card supplies in my normal scrapbooking style, so you'll find loads of elements to help balance out multiple journal cards on each layout. Take the time to tell your family all about your photos ~ no detail is too small ~ so everything can be remembered later! 

Digital Scrapbooking Day is fast approaching (November 2nd). There will be so much going on at Scrap Orchard, so stay tuned for more details! I'm so excited!

Fuss Free: Last Minute 1 & 2 and FREE With Purchase!

I always have the best of intentions. I'm going to make some amazing photo books for my loved ones for Christmas (or birthdays or Father's Day or Mother's Day, etc.), but I always ~ always ~ always wait until the last minute. I stress about making layouts that are beautiful yet keep my photographs the center of attention. I created Fuss Free: Last Minute and Fuss Free: Last Minute 2 as a tool to keep me calm and collected instead of stressed and strained because I've procrastinated yet again. I'm sharing them with you as well in the hopes that they will be of use to you, especially as we are entering a particularly busy time of year. 

Here is my album I created with Fuss Free: Last Minute. This is my daughter right before her Homecoming Dance last weekend.

 

 

 

 

And here are some fantastic pages from my amazing Creative Team!

 

 

 

 

My hope is that these templates will help you create quick yet gorgeous layouts for your shelf of memory albums!

Fuss Free: Artsy Fartsy 1 & 2 and FREE With Purchase!

I love art journal pages, where I can mix a variety of media and quotes or word art to evoke emotion. Even better, I love when I can mix an art journal look with my traditional scrapbook pages of my friends and family. Fuss Free: Artsy Fartsy and Fuss Free: Artsy Fartsy 2 templates were created out of my desire to have both worlds, and they are the perfect choice for a variety of scrapbooking themes!

This weekend my daughter is going to her school's Homecoming Dance, so we have lots of preparations to do, like hair and makeup. I'll be taking lots of pictures and I can't wait to scrap with them! My hope is that you are making memories as well and that these templates help you document them with no fuss!

Fuss Free: Masquerade 7 & 8 and FREE With Purchase Offer!

I'm enamoured with the spraying, misting and masking that can be done on paper. I wanted to recreate the same look for my digital layouts, so I designed Fuss Free: Masquerade 7 & Fuss Free: Masquerade 8. The backgrounds are covered with lots of sprays and mists with graphs and clocks masked out of the spray. Clip paper to these misted masks or simply recolor to add a unique hand-crafted look to your pages.
