Decades Minibook

Don't you just love it, when you have an idea in your head and you get so excited about it?! And then you actually sit down and do it. 

For me, the ideas come quick and fast. So many ideas and not enough time is my consistent problem. I get really excited about something and some times start (or not even start) and then I lose my momentum. I think this is why I'm so proud of this mini book. I made a whole friggin MINI BOOK on a Sunday!

I'm calling it the Decades mini book. It's all about me, my mom, my aunt and my cousin. Four ladies, all related, all roughly 10 years apart in age. We have 50, 40, 30 and 20's represented here. To any marketing overlords, if you're interested in product testing for a diverse age range of Hispanic women, we're your girls! ;)

I blogged about this mini over on the Scrapbook Circle blog. I even included a slideshow to show you how this came together, how I worked on it bit by bit and page by page.

Enriquez Thanksgiving

Heyo! Happy Saturday y'all =) I've had the most productive day already and I'm keeping it going. Just have a quick share of a Thanksgiving page. I really love that I got to use some colder tones with these photos as opposed to the warmer oranges and browns. This is based off a sketch from Simple Scrappers. It meant I got to use all of these great sequins and enamel shapes!

cheers & besos,

TBT: Eighteenth Birthday

Well good evening :) It's not very often I post this late so forgive my tardiness.

It's also Throw Back Thursday! For this week's post I thought I'd share an old page of mine. One that hasn't yet met this blog or you, dear blog readers. 

This layout is circa 2004! It's of course a page about my 18th birthday (2002), but it was only a bit ago that I realized, "holy cow that was 10 years ago!!" Which I think make it's even more perfect for today's post.

Some people hate looking back at their old layouts, since their style has changed so much. Nearly 10 years later, I still really like the look of this page. I like the contrasting colors and even think the red photo mats look sweet.

I had fun with an entire Jolee's (remember those) package of little Japanese things. And I included ephemera on the page: the business card of the restaurant (that I'm not even sure is still open) and a pair of clean chopsticks from that night.

What about you? Has your style changed evolved the longer you've scrapbooked? I'd love to know!

cheers & besos,
