Scrap Simple giveaway--Day 2

It’s the second day of our book giveaway for our latest release, Scrap Simple by Hillary Heidelberg. I found inspiration in a layout Hillary created in which she used a photo from when she was a little girl playing on some rocks on the coast of Japan.

I liked the idea of scrapping a photo from childhood days when my blissful, pink-and-purple world was filled with hearts, flowers, rainbows and all things girly. Flipping through my photo box I came across this little gem of me sitting on my parent’s bed, dressed in pink and donning my dad’s policeman sunglasses. (He’s not a real policeman—I guess back in 1980 he just wanted to look like one...and apparently I did, too!)

This simple page looks like it has a lot going on but was actually really easy to create. The patterned paper has a garden of flowers at the bottom that I easily adorned with a few silk flowers with brad and button centers for a little dimension. I secured the photo with four brads and the remaining embellishments are simply stickers I found in my stash. It couldn’t have been easier! And the thing I love the most is that the photo matched this piece of patterned paper that reminds me of the colors and warmth of spring (I like to keep little reminders close by so I can get through the chill of these next few months).

The simple handwritten journaling reads: Me at 3 years old dressed in Strawberry Shortcake p.j.’s and Daddy’s sunglasses.

Check out Scrap Simple for more ideas on ways to create amazing pages in a flash. Hillary offers a wealth of pages in almost every topic imaginable—from kids to wedding to travel to all-about-me pages. You’ll love her clean, unencumbered look and fresh color schemes. To learn more about Hillary, click here for an interview in which she shares a little insight into her personality and inspirations. And to learn more about her on a regular basis, check out her blog.

So go ahead and scrap simple! You'll be glad you did!
