Paperclipping 73 – Flexible Templates

We’re entering the busiest time of the year, so I thought a free episode on an idea for some faster scrapbooking was in order for today’s episode of Paperclipping.

You can watch the video here.

For a closer look at the layouts from the tutorial, I’ve posted them below…

Love Us Together

8.5×11 Layout
Album: People We Love album (in the “Keim Time” section)

Journaling reads: I love the stories * the tangents * the tangents * the high’s and the low’s * the many changes * the raw honest * the hysterical moments * the exploration * the differences * the sameness * the loyalty * the admiration * the joking * the memories * the freedom * the time together.

Supplies: Cardstock (Bazzill Basics Paper) * Patterned paper (Basic Grey, Daisy D’s, 7 Gypsies, other unknown) * Wordstrips (7 Gypsies) * Word + Letter stickers (7 Gypsies, Foof*A*La) * Ribbon (Basic Grey) * Transparency (My Mind’s Eye).

Favorite Things From Thanksgiving 2006

8.5×11 Layout
Album: Things We Do
(in the holiday section with the Thanksgiving layouts, which will hopefully become its own album).

Journaling written to my kids reads: Handmade turkeys on the fridge/lists of gratitudes * Running + walking around the school over and over with you-Trin + Blake * Racing and being loud, young, and active.

Supplies: Cardstock (Bazzill Basics Paper) * Patterned paper (Basic Grey, My Mind’s Eye, s.e.i.) * Stickers (Paper Salon, 7 Gypsies) * Letter stickers (Creative Memories) * Chipboard letters (American Crafts) * Journal strip (Creative Cafe with Creative Imaginations).

Remember

8.5×11 Layout
Album: This Is Us, Together

Journaling to my kids reads: I don’t know when it changed, but your interactions with each other have somehow matured. They’re different now and I’m always noticing it. Like this day–your last day of school. As soon as you got home you sat down with the new yearbook and looked through it page by page, laughing and pointing things out, and reminiscing together. There is a maturity about the way you two do this now that surprises me. I just love that you’re growing up to be good friends.

Supplies: Cardstock (Bazzill Basics Paper) * Apoxy sticker (Creative Cafe for Creative Imaginations) * Rub-on’s (Art Warehouse) * Ink (Stampin’ Up) * Other sources unknown (button, ribbon).

I hope this template idea helps you to continue scrapbooking during the busy holidays. If you use the template, please post it to our flickr page and let me know!

  • Gabrielle
    Noelle, I'm really happy to see a free episode again! Awesome tips on putting together quick layouts with sketches
  • Thank you, Gabrielle!
  • Noell, I deem you a scrapbooking visionary. ;)
    Seriously, I *love* your insights. Thanks so much for this great episode.
    blessings,
    ~Toni~
  • Visionary? Methinks you flatter too much. =)
  • Noell loved this tips, I will try something like this
    I have a question, what white pen do you use on your black layout?
    Thanks
  • Jana, that was actually a gold-ish-orange slightly glittery jel-type pen by Creative Memories. It's made for dark paper and it's called Precious Elements. I love that pen.

    This was a great episode! I love the idea of having an easy template to use in a pinch!
  • Sandy - AussieQ
    I love this idea Noell! I'm generally a slow scrapbooker,and do enjoy using sketches to kick me off at times. I'm looking forward to using this technique on my future layouts! I think this allows so much more creativity than actual sketches, as you still have to think/create but as you said, the hard work is done for you.
  • Wonderful! Thanks, Sandy. If there is time I may do another one with more photos in December. I'll just have to see how many projects/weeks there are.
