If I'm not scrapbooking I'm thinking about scrapbooking!

Crate Paper

Every single time

April 19, 2016 By Janice Daquila-Pardo 2 Comments

Every single time is a one-photo scrapbook page using papers from Crate Paper.

Normally, this photo would be a throwaway because of Matt’s closed eyes. But when I saw it I had an inspiration to instead record for all time the phenomenon of the “Pardo first-photo blink.” That is a scientific fact in our lives. Ever single time Matt poses for a photo, he blinks for at least the first one. He’s ridiculously consistent about this, which is annoying and funny at the same time. And that seems like the right kind of everyday story to tell in my scrapbook.

Product/technique notes

For this page I used a combination of Crate Paper (the wild background pattern and the strip at the top) and the BasicGrey J’Adore 6×6 paper pad. I cut the title on my Silhouette, and sprinkled sequins about.

Here comes Peter Cottontail

March 26, 2016 By Janice Daquila-Pardo 3 Comments

Here comes Peter Cottontail is a one-photo scrapbook page with a photo taken on Easter 1971.

This Easter 1971 pic is from a series of photos my dad took of the family in our back yard after returning from Easter Sunday mass. Phil and I were 3 and 4 years old. Can you get over the cuteness of our Easter wear?

May you have a blessed and peace-filled Easter 2016!

Product/technique notes

The background papers and chipboard frames I used are from Crate Paper, and the patterned papers inside the frames are by BasicGrey. The title comes from the 1949 song best known as recorded by Gene Autry.

Season’s greetings

December 28, 2015 By Janice Daquila-Pardo 8 Comments

This one-photo scrapbook page uses patterned paper from Crate Paper's Bundled Up collection.

At the start of the Christmas season in 1977, we got it into our heads to paint a holiday scene on our house’s big front window. Mom and Dad helped us get all set up with tempera paints and brushes, and we all brainstormed what the image should be. Once we settled on a snow couple, Phil and I set to work painting together. What a great project for an almost-10- and 11-year-old!

I think it took a couple days to finish because we were painting on all the little panes of glass, but once it was completed we were all thrilled with the results.

We enjoyed this project so much that we painted a different scene each year after that, mostly recreating images from Christmas cards we had received. After our first year, Dad added to our curb appeal by setting up spotlights in the front yard to shine on our artwork.

It was a special Daquila-family Christmas tradition, and I treasure the memory of how excited I felt each year to create the new design.

Product/technique notes

I followed the Scrap Much December sketch below and used papers from the Crate Paper Bundle Up collection. The three bling snowflakes are by The Paper Studio.

Kewl

November 22, 2015 By Janice Daquila-Pardo Leave a Comment

Kewl is a one-photo scrapbook page created using Crate Paper patterns.

Matt and I met a friend at the Fredericksburg Oktoberfest this year, and although I took lots of fun photos of our day there, I liked this one the best. Just two guys looking kewl.

Product/technique notes

The background paper I used is from KI Memories, and the rest of the patterns are from a Crate Paper Boys Rule 6×6 paper pad.

Texas Book Festival

October 31, 2015 By Janice Daquila-Pardo 7 Comments

Texas Book Festival 2015 is a two-photo scrapbook page I created using papers from Crate Paper's Notes & Things and BasicGrey's Fiction collections.

Because I am participating in National Novel Writing Month for the first time this November, Matt and I attended the Texas Book Festival in downtown Austin. It was the 20th anniversary of the festival this October, and we spent a lovely day down at the Capitol among book lovers and enjoying beautiful weather.

Product/technique notes

I am participating in the ScraptoberFest challenges, and with this page I have created a layout combining all (4) challenges on one layout for a chance to win the BONUS prize! I created it using papers from Crate Paper’s Notes & Things and BasicGrey’s Fiction collections. The flair is from BasicGrey’s Aurora collection. The washi tapes are both from Studio G. The frame is from another Crate Paper collection. And I designed the title to look like the Texas Book Festival logo and cut it on my Silhouette.
