You know those photos you have that you have been holding onto for YEARS because you just haven’t found the right paper to use for the layout? I have a small (maybe not so small) pile of these photos. I pulled them out the other day when I was crafting expecting that yet again I would end up putting them back in my organizer until next time I had new papers.  BUT… instead I found that I had the RIGHT PAPER!!! I was so excited!!!

The first layout is of my son at his very first Monster Jam event- ironically the day I did this he was away at another Monster jam.  The two events were six years apart though- so these took a while to scrapbook! Our Urban paper and complements were the perfect fit for these photos. I also used some of our Fundamental stickers to help with the smaller titles.

Layout number two brings us to my son’s First Communion.  A wonderful day that I was excited to scrapbook but just didn’t have the right paper. I wanted a soft feel- one that fit the occasion.  Charlotte paper and complements to the rescue here- this event was only four years ago (a bit better) and I am now happy to have the memory and the day cherished in my albums. (On this one I also added some stamping using our Springtime wishes stamp set and thin cuts).

What kind of events are you holding onto waiting for your right paper? Tell me about them 🙂

Until we craft again, The Brae-er
