If I'm not scrapbooking I'm thinking about scrapbooking!
Phil brought home a virtual reality headset and we all “swam with the sharks.” It was a cool, immersive experience. The really fun part was watching each other’s reactions to the images.
Papers and die cuts from Jillibean Soup’s Spicy Social Soup collection were perfect for these photos. I designed and cut the title with my Cricut.
This was the last of our traditional first-day-of-school photo shoots—Phil and me at the start of our senior year in the fall of 1984.
This sketch is made for either three photos or one center photo and some surrounding patterned paper or journaling cards. If you make a layout based on this sketch, please link it up at the end of this post; I would just love to see what you’ve made with it.
I created this page with products from the Glitz Design Yours Truly collection and designed/cut the title with my Silhouette.

Mom, Phil, and I loved driving out to the Patterson Fruit Farm in Chesterland, Ohio, to pick strawberries. We would head out early on a summer morning and pick way too many, then take them home and turn most of them into freezer jam to enjoy for the rest of the year. We also piled them on cereal and shortcake and anything else we could think of. It was such a sweet way to spend a summer day.
The background paper I used is from an old My Mind’s Eye collection called Good Day Sunshine. The rest of the patterns are from the Mulberry American Crafts 6×6 paper pad. The chipboard embellishments are from the same collection. I cut the title on my Silhouette Cameo.

My hubby turned 50 in early December, and I grabbed some shots of him opening gifts. You have to commemorate the big five-o, right?
I used product from an older Simple Stories birthday collection called Happy Day with some Jillibean Soup diecuts that coordinated well with the color scheme and theme. The circle is made of red crochet thread.

My husband’s mom was raising her family of five (aged 3-14) in Detroit in the 1970s. Sick of the poverty and danger surrounding them, she decided that she wanted to give them a better life. So she packed up their belongings and started driving toward Atlanta.
While traveling through the mountains of North Carolina, they stopped at a campground to stay the night. But when they arose the next morning, their car wouldn’t start. Matt clearly remembers living out of their car for a couple of weeks while their mom found a waitressing job so she could make the money to have the car fixed.
While all this was happening, she fell in love with the area and decided not to move on to Georgia after all! Instead, she bought a house in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains and stayed there quite happily for the rest of her life.
In these circa 1979 photos, she and the kids were planting their first round of tomatoes in their new yard.
The patterned papers are from the Simple Stories Bloom and Grow collection. I designed and cut the title on my Silhouette.
