Old Layout 7

Hello!

In this post I'll be showing the last three oldies I completed this week.  As I told you in my previous post, they are very old, I had them finish and waiting for photos for a few years, now I'm trying to take some time every week to finish a few of them since I have hundreds of layout in the same situation.

Together! Layout

This layout was made with papers from Crate Paper, I can't remember the name of the collection.  The tittle, border and cream flowers were cut with the Cricut, the rolled flowers with the Silhouette and the leaves are from a Sizzix die.  Photos are from 2016.

Old Layouts 6

Hi!

Yesterday I had some time available and used it to add photos to six of the old layouts I have waiting for photos.  This one was made a few years ago with one of Simple Stories' firsts collection. I still consider this collection very cute, the papers have a lot of beautiful designs one can fuzzy cut to use as embellishments and the colors are very happy.  I just added photos to finish it, the photos are from a road trip to Bosque Seco in Guánica, Puerto Rico.  This place is really peaceful and beautiful.

Oh, Happy Day Layout

Hugs & Kisses Layout

Hello!

Yesterday I finished a layout I made with the Simple Stories Romance Collection and a Page Maps March 2018 sketch, as I told you I'll be working with this collection until I finish it but I don't know if can fulfill this challenge because I'm getting tired of the same colors, let's see what happens.  I still have a few more papers of this collection so I'll be working on a double layout soon and then, maybe I change to another collection.

Hello!

Hope you are doing great!  Today I'm sharing with you three old layouts I had from a few years ago without photos and since I ordered a lot of prints from 2016 I used some of them to finish these layouts.  I can't remember who made the cutting files, sorry.  They are really pretty and I love how nice they look.

Noviembre 2016 Layout

This layout was designed by my friend Yamil Pérez, she did an amazing work with those Basic Grey papers, cutting all the flowers and arranging them.  I made a few changes now but they were minor, I added the rhinestones, a few more flowers and the chipboard flourish.

XOXO Layout

Hi!

Today I’m sharing with you a layout I just finished using a sketch from Page Maps March 2016 and the Simple Stories Romance Collection.  The photos were taken 6 days before our baby girl arrived, I was 38 weeks pregnant. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed the shooting time at Jobos Beach in Isabela, Puerto Rico.  The photographer was my husband’s friend, Christian Rivera.

Hi!

Continuing with the old layouts, here are a few more I completed.  Below each one is a short description of the changes I made to them.

Sweetest Love Layout

 This layout suffer some modifications.  The background papers, some Glimmer Mist paint, the paper behind the photos and tittle were all added to pair with the photos and makes it look more up to date.

Hello!

Now some layouts I completed last week, as I told you before, they are old, only photos were needed but since they look old I made some minor changes to most of them.  Soon I'll be sharing a few more, I still have some Christmas layouts waiting for photos and I want to empty the basket where they are stored but first I'll be working again with the Simple Stories Romance Collection, I need to finish this collection to start working with another one.

Baby Girl Layout

 Originally this was a baby boy layout, to make it look girly a changed the background paper, tittle, stickers, buttons, mats...  well, it's easiest to tell only the patterned paper pieces (excluding the background) remain from the original. 

Old Layouts 2

Hello!

As in my last post, last week I was adding photos to many old layouts I have, so continuing with them here are five more:

Happy Holidays Layout

Only photos were added to this layout, I love how cute it looks with the photos.

Old Layouts 1

Hi!

After moving to our home and organizing my scrapbook stuff I found a lot of layouts, more than a 100, without photos.  This is something I need to finish because there is a lot of time and money spent so I must complete those layouts.  Last week I took some time to start working with them, adding photos that pair and the journaling to a few of them.  They are very old, some are from 2009 so I made a few changes to make them look a little more up to date but since I have so many I can't spend too much time in each one, the changes are minor so I can complete the largest amount in the time I have available.

As I told you, they are so old that I can't remember where I bought the cutting files for some of the paper piecing, neither I remember the name of all the company who made the products, sadly some of them are no longer in the market.  My goal is to complete at least one per week and post it, I know finishing all of them will take a lot of time but I'll be doing it while creating new ones.

Here are the first five I finished last week.

Reyes Layout

(Three Kings Layout)

  In Puerto Rico we celebrate Three Kings Day in January 6. It is part of our culture so every year we take photos of this celebration, which is a beautiful activity we share with our daughters.

You Are Loved Layout

Hi!

Last weekend I was able to sit down for a while, so I continued working with the Simple Stories Romance Collection because I already had them on my desk and I challenged myself to use the collections as much as possible to finish them and thus not have to re-store them because my paper storage space is practically full.  Let's see if I succeed in this goal.

When I ordered the Romance Collection, I did it several weeks after its release and it has been so popular that where I bought it the embellishments were sold out, only the 12" x 12" stickers and the sticker book which are quite small were available.  But since the papers are so beautiful, I ordered two of each sheet.  Something I like about the Simple Stories papers is that they bring beautiful designs in various sizes that allow one to cut and use them to embellish and that's what I did. Since I don't have much free time, first I cut out all I can from the papers.  For this layout I used some of the cut outs and still have a lot of them to create more projects soon.

For this layout I used a photo of a week before our baby was born, she is a very loved and desired child by us, it is a blessing for our family and a prayer answered by God, we are very happy to have her with us.  Now I have to make many layouts with all the photos we have take and also continue making layouts for our big daughter because I love taking pictures of both of them, they are my inspiration and life engine.
