The Inspiration Gallery is now LIVE! But, before you head on over, I wanted to give you a little peek at one of each of the designer’s creations! It’s impossible to pick my favorite one from each gallery – because they are all amazing and really each project is awesome! But, I wanted to highlight a few that we enjoyed!
Valerie rocked our Mix & Match Vintage Numbers! Love how she made a little collage with them. She also added in our hybrid tabs!
Sheri amazed me with this mini album! She used our hybrid Seaside tags and tabs – and each page is a pocket that the tag pulls out of! Love this idea!!
Mel did such a cute job on this layout! Plus, I love how she used our “The Story” tag to journal the story behind the photo – so fun!!
Lisa used our Mix & Match Vintage Numbers to create a Top 10 list for her love of traveling… brilliant!! Love how she journaled by each one and included those little photos!
Jennifer really inspired me with this page – love how she used our Family Vintage Flashcard, Chic Note Tag and Date & Place Strip. So much fun! And, the journaling on this page is so special!
Love this color combo on Ann-Marie’s page and how she incorporated our Mix & Match Vintage Numbers, Chic Date tags and Sweetheart Flashcards! She also made an amazing mini book, too!
This little birthday card by Anne is so sweet! Love how she put it together and used our Birthday Journaling Circle Tags – simple but amazing!!
This mini album that Amy made is amazing – there is a page for each month and some month’s even have extra pages between them and she incorporated a ton of our tags, too! She put it together using our 4 x6 calendar as a base!
Each gallery is so, SO amazing – there is a TON of stuff to see, so head on over there now and check it all out!
Thank you so much, ladies, for creating such amazing and inspiring things! We are so thankful for your inspiring projects!

What is the most important thing about capturing the story? The small things. The little details. The smell of something; the emotion I felt at that time. Typically short, small phrases detailing the details. I like to capture the small things that make up the big picture.
Does every layout your create contain journaling? No. But, probably about 70% of my layouts do include some type of journaling though. As I mentioned before, I used to despise the journaling part of scrapbooking. One, because I always felt like I had to journal about that particular picture. And when I scrapped a self portrait that I had taken of myself or a picture of my dog, I felt trapped by the journaling process because what am I supposed to say about a self portrait? Oh, I took this on a Saturday in June because I was bored. Not so much. Two, I always felt like journaling had to be my own words. Also not necessary. I am a quote addict. I love them. I keep an on-going word document that I copy & paste quotes into all of the time. One day it hit me, why don’t I use one of these quotes on a layout. Well, hello! Sometimes, that’s all you need! Or song lyrics. Many times, the lyrics say exactly what needs to be said – nothing more, nothing less. And three, I always felt like I had to do the journaling in my own hand-writing. I hate my handwriting. It’s never the same. It’s ever evolving – if there is such a thing. And then one day, I saw someone online had used a typewriter to do the journaling on their layout. Before too much time had passed, I had my own typewriter. And as weird as this may sound, I enjoy journaling SO much more now that I don’t feel like I HAVE to do it in my own handwriting.
