Pinterest is so popular, especially in the scrapbooking or design communities. I’ve been wondering, what would my toddler son pin if he could? This would be a fun way to record what he likes as a scrapbook page! It sounds like a simple concept, but I can’t imagine pulling it off in such a short ...
I’d like to share a mini tutorial how to print on journaling cards. In this case, I printed one paragraph on two journaling cards, as if using a typewriter: First, I taped two journaling cards on a piece of card stock. I cut the card stock in to an easy-to-meausre size, 5″ by 5″. I ...
Lately there have been a lot of people on 2peas forum asking what to do with 6×6 paper pads. I recently got my first 6×6 pad of My Mind’s Eye – Follow Your Heart collection, wanting to try out the smaller-scaled patterns and to reduce paper waste. I also saw this card layout from kesiArt ...
Sun rays have been hugely popular in the scrapbooking world. Some examples: I really like Laura Vegas’ page above (2nd example), and decided to try the pattern. The funny thing was I didn’t look up the examples when I was ready to create the page, I just had a vague idea from browsing this ...

I belong to a little group called Young Scrappers at Two Peas in a Bucket. They are a bunch of great, easy going girls (in their 20s & 30s), and I’m so glad to have found a place I can call home in the vast sea of scrapbook forumers. We’re doing our first blog hop ...
I’m still not sure what’s the best system for the post titles. My blog posts are not always about the title of the layout. I hope to talk more about my process and techniques (or the lack of) for the layout. How about “Title for the post content” + “title for the layout in curly ...
This is a simple and typical baby book layout, not much story behind it. It was just funny that he first stood supported on the day he turned 6 months. What’s special about this layout for me though, is I didn’t plan it! Woohoo! When I worked on the previous layout, the travel page, I ...
Over eight thousand miles before his first birthday, wow! I wanted to document how many miles he flew and how frequent the travels were, not just because it’s fun, but I wanted to document why we did it. My father was battling cancer, which we knew was terminal in the very beginning. What’s the best ...
