So glad to met Cooper! What a sweet fur baby he is. To me, clean and simple layouts are so the most elegant! A timeless style which I hope you embrace, without apology, with all your heart! Hugs Sweet Friend!
Good for you!!! I also always struggle with "I should try this" and "this is a cool trend" but I just scrap whatever I want. I am not on a design team, I just scrap for my family and myself. Congrats on the new, super cute puppy and you nailed this layout. It immediately caught my eye
OMGoodness Vija!!!! What a totally sweet lo you've created here!!! Your design is so "up my alley" as I so relate to you on the "basic's & simplicity"!!! This is a perfect example on what scrapping is really what it's all about! KUDO'S to you GF!
Super cute puppy, design, embells & a sweet story. I'm hope this little fellow has found a fond place in your heart, and Riley's. Heartwarming and cute LO.
This just makes me smile, Vija!I'm so glad Cooper is settling in and I've been loving your photos of him with Riley! Your LO is adorable, and I know what you mean about scrapping in your own style-whole I have embraced some of the new techniques and mediums, some are just not "me" and there's no sense stressing about it! Love everything about this, my friend!
I find it exciting to view Vija, just love it...so heartwarming and definately cuteness factor!! glad your two are getting along just fine and glad you have another little heart to love....ps I can't do artsy either...as much as I think it is beautiful!!
Vija, I can't tell you how much I love this layout!!! The photo of Cooper is absolutely adorable and you scrapped it beautifully! I love your style and I would not ever change a thing about it! (The little paw prints add such a wonderful whimsical touch here, too!)
An adorable darling pup,so happy for you.He looks so cuddly no wonder he's stolen Riley's heart. Love the delightful page ,colours ,pps,layers and the gorgeous banner.
First off your new puppy is adorable and what a wonderful gift from your family. Your layout is beautiful and I love that heart banner. Secondly..your 2nd paragraph completely echoes how I feel about all the new techniques and I'm so glad to hear someone whose work I so greatly admire admit it. I have so many pastes and paints and stencils and inks and I try to use them but just make a bit of a mess. Keep plugging away though..I'm sure you can do it.
I think your layout is great! Very artistic! I too like the look of the complicated layouts but the simple layouts are easier for me to focus on. Congrats on the new puppy, he is adorable.
oh Vija, this warms my heart and seems to reach in and bring sunshine to the deepest part of my soul!! The warm colors, the sweet touches -all perfect for your dear sweet Cooper. I LOVE everything you've done here. (I think we need to start a scrapbook movement - "be comfortable, be you and LOVE what you do".) thanks for sharing and daring to scrap what makes you comfortable. HUGS, Vickie
Awww... he is too cute! Look at that face! Just want to cuddle him! Love your layers, heart banner and little paw prints! We all should stick to what we like and not what's "inn" right now. Beautiful LO!
oh my there my dear friend your cooper is just a darling and you have scrapped the page magnificently, and the papers and details all truly cute as, and am so glad you decided to get a playmate for Riley...hope we don't have too many episodes of stair chewing and doggy bed wrecking lol..I must make the effort to come meet the lil guy.....xo
So glad you're back - I've missed your beautiful LO's - love your adorable photo - Cooper is just darling - this LO is precious - love your design with the layering and your banner - FAVE for me ~
Oh Vija! Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this! I LOVE your new little guy! This page is absolutely adorable and, to me, it is exciting to view in the gallery. After all, isn't it all about the photo? Your darling touches have showcased this photo beautifully! Also thank you for your comments. I can so relate. I actually stopped scrapping for awhile because I was trying too hard to "keep up"and it just wasn't fun anymore. The techniques don't come naturally to me either and I finally started enjoying scrapbooking when I decided to return to my "grade school chic" style! LOL Big hugs to you and extra treats and pats for Riley and Cooper! :o)
For various reasons I haven't uploaded any pages in over four months but I just had to share my latest. Please meet our newest addition to the family…nine week old Cooper. He was my birthday present from my family and whilst I wasn't sure I was ready for another puppy, he has been an absolute joy in his first week with us. Riley, our other Golden Retriever, and him have been getting on really well too, so that is a huge plus!
I used October Afternoon papers and used the scraps to cover the chipboard hearts. I scrapped this in a very simple style as I had been struggling with trying to be 'artistic' with all the techniques out there and have come to the conclusion that whilst I am a great admirer of these techniques and styles, it just doesn't come naturally to me and I have gone back to basics and simplicity, which is more me, even if not exciting to view in a gallery.
Thanks for looking, your comments are appreciated.
