Scrapbooking Sketches Using 6x4 Photos

I love using 6x4 photos in layouts because all you have to do is lay down you pictures. There is no cropping involved and you don't even have to mat the photos so you can put together pages quickly.

Here are a few sketches that I found on the web that I liked (You can see more sketches on my Pinterest Page). Also see my etsy shop for premade mats like the ones below :)

In my opinion some of the best sketches that are also easy to implement are by Becky Higgins. She also has a new system called Project Life that makes it even easier to use your 6x4 photos as you just slip them into protective covers, journal using journaling cards and viola you have a great page in no time!

Sisters Scrapbooking Pages

Ahhh sisters. I don't have any (at least not biologically) but as far as I am concerned my godsisters, sister-in-laws, friends and close female cousins are my sisters :).

I have recently created some too cute pages that are perfect for celebrating that sisterly love. (They are all available to buy now on my eBay page).

Came across this cute book that combines pictures of animals with quotes about sister :)

5 Amazing Lampshade DIY Tutorials

I am in desperate need of some lamp shades but I also need to get some on a budget :). I saw some in my local discount store but they look rather like they came from a discount store so I didn't purchase any at the time. I figured that there had to be some great DIY ideas that were quick and easy. Here are my top 5 choices. (Links at end)

I love Mark Montano's tutorials. They are always easy to understand. This idea came from his Big Ass Book of Home Decor. Watch it below.



I love this Anthro inspired lampshade here. And can you believe it was made for less that $3.00!!!  

Really cute shades here and I love the addition of the flowers. 

These flowers on this lamp is made with coffee filters! Inexpensive idea that looks very elegant.

 This would be perfect for a living room. Great way to get some of those pictures out of the scrapbook and put them on display.
