Well with this month’s Papertrey Ink release was SO much was revealed during the countdown, and boy was it fun!! You can scroll on down through the last week to see everything else I had to share 😀 There was a TON!!!
Boy was I hopping busy! Add that to no email due to the Verizon takeover, a new computer (had to transfer files) and the arrival of my niece, and all I can say is TAILSPIN 😀
My most favorite project for the release was this “framed art” piece (Lauren’s version of scrapbooking!)
I have to say Im proud of this one
If you know “me:, you know, I DON’T scrap!! But I was quite inspired by Heather’s new set, and decided to challenge myself! I love stepping out of that comfort zone. Keeps it fresh. I felt like I would use this challenge to capture this moment in my life. A moment I want to always remember-my children at these ages.
I looked at this challenge to myself NOT as a scrapbook page, but a framed piece of art for my home 😀 Much easier when the “scrapbook” term isn’t at me to be a GREAT scrapper artist! It’s just not me.
So I just thought ALTERED ITEM, ART! Not scrapbook page.
Remember framed art
Remember 10 things-photo close up
I love the swirly leaf pattern! I used some bridal confetti flowers, and some vellum butterflies, I punched and glitterized 😀
Look at those faces! I still see my babies. Not so baby anymore.
I made this page for my bedroom, so I could frame it. My children are at the BEST ages right now Alexa 9, Noah 6 and Amber almost 5. Amazing time to be their mom.
Where does the time go? I’m just in awe of how big they are, how much they have changed, and how fast it has flown by!
I know it sounds so cliche, but it is SO true. Holding my little niece reminds me of when each of my babies was that small. Seems like only a few weeks ago, let along years!
Its funny when they are born you think you couldn’t love them a smidgen more, but every day that passes and the older they get, you love them just that much more everyday. WAY more than ever imaginable. The older they get, the more they develop into little people with personalities. There is more to love, more memories, more amazingess than you ever imagined possible.
This is a close up of some of the things I want to remember (and want my children to live daily)
Remember
It is 10 thing I want my children to always remember about themselves, as they grow.
1. You are one of a kind
2. Find happiness in every day
3. Listen to your heart
4. Love unconditionally
5. Be Kind to others
6. Always be honest
7. Trust in God
8. Know you are loved
9. Be thankful
10. Smile-always
Love you-mom

Using a rock -n-roll technique
I created a simple tri-fold card for some added “elegance”

Seriously Handbag
I made this fun patterned “purse”, using my Rounded Wrap Up! template and stamps listed in supply list! Like using stamped patterned paper.
I just had too much fun with it. In case you didn’t notice. The seriously sentiment reminds me of a teen or tween girl!
The flower actually covers the oval “clasp” which inserts into a slot to keep the template closed.

hi I jusr bought your rounded wrap up template and I love all you templates by the way I have all of them But the rounned wrap up I’m having a problem with it isn’t printing all the template on one paper the end is not printing it is cutting it off. What am I doing wrong I’ve never had a problem before
Awesome projects Lauren! I’m not a scrapbooker either but I like how you made it a framed project….fabulous girl!
These are all super fab! I dont know that i’ve ever seen a scrapbook layout come out of ya! Love it!!!
I can’t wait to see what you have new each day. Your e-mail is the first open.
I couldn’t believe that you were out of the box with scrapbooking with all your great talent.
Keep up the good work
I love the way you look at your little scrapbooking page as just framed art. That is a perfect way to see it!
Love, love, LOVE your projects! The scrapbook page layout is just breathtaking. Definitely “hang on the wall” art!
I can’t believe how grown up they’ve gotten too. I still remember that cute picture of little Amber asleep on the stairs. She was what, like three then?
Hugs!
Awesome projects! Love your “altered” piece! But can I tell you? YOU MUST START SCRAPPING! C’mon girl, you will have amazing albums created! LOL!
Good stuff!
LOVE ur projects! I love the framed art the most then the tri-fold card! Thanks for sharing your creations!
Angie
Loved your framed art piece…Beautiful!!
Fantastic Pictures 🙂
They grow so fast….
You are such a wonderful person! You appreciate all that you have, and are such a great mom too. Your children are so lucky! I love visiting your blog and the fact that it’s updated daily… Keep up the wonderful work! 😉
LOVE the framed art piece! What beautiful reminders you’ve posted too. It’s definitely something you and the kids will cherish over the years.
Your other projects are FAB too. Love that purse!
Both projects are just beautiful. You will cherish that layout more as the years pass. I really loved your choice of colors on the card. the rock and roll technique really gave it that added edge. I totally love everything you do!
As always, your stuff makes me want it all! You’re one of my idols, Lauren. I’m not sure I understand the flower closure on the handbag, but it’s so pretty! Congrats to your brother & sis-in-law! What a cutie! Maybe a little rest now for you?
I have just LOVED the last 2 weeks.. Thank you for all the BEAUTIFUL inspiration!
Your framed artwork 🙂 is BEAUTIFUL and will look wonderful framed!!!
I just printed out your basket template I bought and am gonna visit blogs and then make it up! I cant wait!
Oh, Lauren theses are so amazing!! I just love your frame of your kids. You would never know that you didn’t like to scrap. Maybe it was the inspiration of your beautiful children that helped you with it.
I love the rock and roll technique that you used with the Damask Designs. The colors are so regal and the entire card is beautiful! I really like the idea of the framed page. That has inspired me!
You say altered art, I say scrapbooking… 🙂 hee hee Great work as always Lauren. The purple card with the damask centerpiece is luscious. That set is on it’s way to me and I can’t wait to try your technique with it!
Your “framed art” is absolutely gorgeous and your children are too! What a lovely project!
Lauren,
I just love your framed art piece….can you imagine what a lovely gift this would make! I plan on borrowing your idea….Thanks for the inspiration!
Hugs,
Marge
Lauren: What an inspiration you are for me. I just loved the idea of “framed art”….this IS the idea I needed for an up coming party. You have helped me so many times with ideas, thank you. BTW: YOU are the best Mom……..your kids will remember all the fun they have/had with you as kids, no doubt. Keep the ideas flowing and sharing….we ALL appreciate you!

Hi Lauren, here’s just one of my little treasure boxes I made. This one is for my dd. She gets a real kick out of your boxes and can’t believe her ‘art challenged’ made it all by herself (with your help that is). Keep ’em comin’, but don’t stay up too late.
