In no time, a massive crowd had spilled into the streets, exceeding the limits allowed by the city. Kendrick Lamar fans didn’t know what to expect when the “Swimming Pools” rapper tweeted that he would be performing a secret show on the corners of 12th and Figueroa in downtown Los Angeles – directly across the street from the Staples Center, home court for the Los Angeles Lakers. The enthusiasm for the rapper was made even more clear at a recent concert in his hometown of Los Angeles just one day before his album dropped. His first single off the album “Swimming Pools” is a smash hit, and Kendrick’s fan base continues to expand as many can appreciate the young rapper’s lyrics of substance over dope beats. It’s a simple, clean way to add journaling to pages.Los Angeles’ new rap sensation Kendrick Lamar is enjoying the success of his current album, “good kid, m.A.A.d city,” his debut album on TDE/Aftermath/Interscope. After I was satisfied with the placement, I tacked down key areas with Mini Glue Dots to ensure they stayed put.įor the journaling, I simply typed lines in Word, printed them out on Whisper White cardstock and cut strips. I love Snail because it’s easy to reposition elements in order to get them just right. After stamping on Whisper White cardstock, I used an Aqua Painter to give them a quick blend.įor these pages, I simply used Snail Adhesive to attach my dies and flowers. Afterwards, I added some shading with a Sponge Dauber. To create the tropical flowers, I inked up the stamp with Gray Granite and then stamped off once. So on the second page, I created a vertical title and used Layering Squares Framelits Dies in coordinating colors behind the Lined Alphabet Letters. On a double-page spread, I like to keep certain elements the same, but change up the layout a little. Then, I used the same stamp to create little banner embellishments. The Tropical Chic stamp set has a great border stamp for scrapbooking! I created a long line on both pages by using my Stamparatus for perfect placement. Plus, I love everything tropical!!! This bundle was my number one pick from the new catalog. Since my daughter goes to college in Los Angeles close to the beach, I thought those were perfect. I used the Tropical Chic stamp set and coordinating Tropical Thinlits Dies for the background and embellishments. On these pages, I used Gray Granite and Crumb Cake for the background elements.

The photos should draw the eye, so I love using neutrals in the background that don’t detract. I’ve learned to be careful with color placement. For these pages, I selected university colors for the titles that also coordinated with the photos.
I nice line or grouping of no more than three is max to ensure the page isn’t too busy. While I love squeezing as many photos on the page as possible, I’ve learned less is more. I crop and place them on the 12″ x 12″ cardstock to design the layout. When I scrapbook, I always start with the photos. When I adhered my letters, I placed them slightly askew to show the colored cardstock behind. However, it’s super easy to use the stamped image as guidew to trim off the small sections that remain. The edgelits don’t cut out the letters entirely, because they are designed to cut the diagonal layering shapes. The first one is pictured below, where I spelled out LMU using the edgelits as designed with the colored paper (Night of Navy, Gray Granite, and Cherry Cobbler.) Then, I stamped the Lined Letters with Night of Navy ink on Whisper White cardstock and used the edgelits to cut them out. I designed a double-page spread, both with Lined Alphabet titles. I thought they would be PERFET for scrapbooking, especially a couple cheer pages. They were literally calling to me to scrapbook!Īnother motivation to scrapbook these photos happened when I was glancing through the new Annual Catalog and saw the Lined Alphabet stamp set and coordinating Layering Alphabet Edgelits Dies. I had these great pictures of my daughter from Game Day during the Loyola Marymount University Family Weekend from earlier this year.
I really need to get back into it, because it’s so fun and rewarding.
#ISCRAPBOOK SHUTTING DOWN FREE#
I LOVED it! But time got the best of me, and in the last few years, I’ve concentrated most of my precious free time on cards. When my kids were younger and I didn’t work full-time, I use to scrapbook every week. I have a confession … I haven’t scrapbooked in a really long time.
