Scrapbooking Process: Never Grow Up iNSD

Happy International Scrapbooking Day!
This is a Layout which I created using the Hip Kit from April. Layout took 2 hours to complete and used 2 4X6 Photos. This was designed for the INSD Bingo Challenge over at Mercy Tiara’s 27-Day Challenge Facebook Group (link below)

Dearest Tracy, happy interNational Scrapbook Day!!! Great page layout!!!

[@brydiesgrandma]

Gorgeous. Great layout

[@suellenkelly8264]

Awesome layout. I love the buttons. Peter Pan is such a wonderful play and I so understand your feelings. Wonderful and yet hard to see our children grow up.

[@tracyzook857]

Love all the bits and buttons! Oh, the benefits of being in charge. Mess up and just change the rules. Would have liked a square for scraps. Need to encourage everyone to use these:)

[@dianamcmahon51510]

I loooooove this layout!

[@irisburelli5028]

Great layout!

[@vickielee2433]

This layout is awesome! So meaningful.

[@carmenmarshall7538]

It doesn't get easier .. I take comfort knowing I raised 2 happy boys who are living their dream ... Layout is layered and layered and layered and b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l.

[@leahsanterre6128]

loved this layout. beautiful. I feel like your vellum was scraps so you are good either way!

[@annearbo2569]

I had to work this weekend and missed iNSD activities. However, watching your videos kept me connected!

[@AsokaScrapper]

Your layout is beautiful Tracy, but you touched me right in the heart with that story about your daughter! It's so hard, but beautiful to see them growing up (my daughter is 18yo and my "baby boy" is 13!)

[@arelys1228]

Luv the dipped gold font. Im loving the grow up font

[@Teufelzkoch]

I nearly startet crying too. My daugther is only ten, but we allready have the beginning Problems of Puberty.... Espacally when i scrap older Pictures of her (and her little Brother of course) it makes me feel like "dont grow up"! Love your Page!!

[@Valeriearts2]

Great layout. Happy nsd.

[@MoiraOReilly]

Such a lovely layout Tracy! My great niece (Joey's daughter) is very involved in theatre and musicals with her school as well ... it is always so bittersweet watching them be "so grown up" on stage .. and then the subject of this one is all the more :) :) ... yay free spaces !!! (I booboo'd on mine as well LOL)

[@dottiepennington5513]

Really like this LO, especially since you used 6X4 photos. I have used buttons but never thought to use them like you did on this LO. I will have to try your technique. Thanks for the hint on sewing the buttons. I usually thread them and then lay them down. Never thought to do it the other way around. Love this video Thanks.

[@whatjenren]

Aw. Beautiful LO! My sons going to junior high next year too 😢

[@zynzane9680]

Dang it, I told myself I wasn't gonna cry...it kind of brings back that 12 year old self to me although I don't have kids. Thanks for sharing your process! You gave me a whole new perspective about a layout for my childhood photos.

[@mercytiara]

+Chelsea Donovan aw! I'm so glad it inspired you!

[@yvonnem1919]

Great tip with the buttons.. I always have trouble with them when I am trying to sew them down..

[@marygiuliano1891]

Well this is a first for me. A scrapbooking video that made me cry. Totally love the layout and totally understand your feelings behind the page...my guy turns 12 next month and wow i find myself too wishing for fairy dust for us all 💦😥❤️

[@gerryglowacki340]

I'm not a fan of buttons, but I just might have to give this a try! Fabulous layout and love the story.

[@susanferris]

Is Olivia going away to college soon? I remember anticipating my daughter's departure a year before she left and as I was making the 10 hour drive back home I realized that I hadn't shed a tear when I said good-bye. I patted myself on the back for being such an evolved mom.🙃 Four years later when she graduated college, I fell apart. 😢 I hadn't anticipated how sad I'd feel knowing she'd never be home for Fall or Spring break again. I love being a mom - she's 28 and I continue to grow . It is so cool hearing how you are experiencing your daughters as they grow up... and even cooler to see u scrap those experiences. Happy I SBD. Susan

"Never Grow Up" is also a song title. It is a song in the musical version of Peter Pan.

[@ChelleBeeby]

oh I feel your pain, they grow up so fast.... Larissa is 26 this birthday, and she's complaining that she's getting old 😲 Its like, ok sweets... how do you think I feel? LOL love the LO, TFS 💜💜 (I am so annoyed I missed the fun, maybe next year?)

[@gialicegarcia]

OMG! I totally understand your feeling. I have just one kid and she is 21, and every time I look at her I feel the same way... Bless your heart!

[@libbyd3533]

Your process videos are just the best! I love how you have a theme without being so literal. Maybe one of my favorite layouts!

[@zynzane9680]

I clicked through your link to scrapbook.com, trying to find those stickers that had the books on it. As far as I could tell they are American Crafts and you said Good Life, and it looks like it says thickers. Can you clarify what those are called? I really love them and could not find them. Thank you!

[@mercytiara]

Hi, they don't look like they are in stock at SB.com, but SSS has them. They are called Good Life Thickers (they are made by American Crafts under the Pink Paislee label). There is an affiliate link in the info section for this video- if you put "Good Life Thicker" in the search bar on the SSS website, they will come up for you. I hope that helps!

[@zynzane9680]

Thank you so much!
