Coffee Loving Papercrafters

Happy Tuesday my creative caffeinated crafters!

Warning – This post is photo heavy!

I was so inspired by our memory keeping guest designer Patricia Roebuck, that I dusted off my Citrus Twist Kit binders and dug out my hoarded planner stamps.

I rarely create scrap layouts, but when I do, I find it very relaxing. The great memories from all our mini trips, vacations, and family and friend get togethers come flooding back to me and I am in a great place to grab a brew and enjoy creating.

I find it fun to do a few pages of a theme, and move on to other fun things like food, or a collection of items I like so I have a fun mix of memories as well as just plain cool stuff.

And, yes, …yes – I DO bring my favorite coffee mug as well as thermos with me on vacation.

Sometimes I formulate a plan for photos. For these layouts I decided on 3 sizes for my photos. A full page, a single photo page, and a three photo page. My sizes are 4×8 2.5×2.5 & 1.5×2.5

Here is my collection of newest beverage containers. I can’t help myself when I see a lovely shade of blue.

I thought this box of donuts was a fun foodie item. There are absolutely no rules in memory keeping. Anything you want to add to your album is totally great. I prefer to add my journaling or notes later and slip them in back of the photo pages.

Every time start my projects I try very hard to contain the mess as well as make it easier to clean up. Even more so with scrap layouts. I come up with a game plan first. I decide a theme, the photo format, select and print, then place my photos in a storage bin with the coordinating papers and any embellishments that I have selected. Another bin holds the stamp sets. Does it help, yes. I still make a mess cutting and designing with paper, only more contained.

Supplies:

• American Crafts Papers: Heidi Swapp Art Walk. Paige Evans Go The Scenic Route, Pink Paislee And Many More
• Citrus Twist Kit TN (Travelers Notebook Size) Binder & Binder Filler Page Protectors
• Stamps: Studio Calico, Elle Studio, In a Creative Bubble (Digitals), Everyday Explorer Co, Kerri Bradford Studio

I hope that you found my scrap layouts bright and colorful and fun. My goal is to continue and post a memory keeping post at least once every few months. I find so much joy creating for the Coffee Loving Papercrafters Blog – hope to see you next time. In the meantime, share handmade kindness.

I’m also creating on my personal blog and you can find me here: Wienerhoneymooners and also on Instagram here: Wienerhoneymooners.
