31 Pages in 31 Days: 8/1/14

Welcome to Song of My Heart Stampers' annual blog series, 31 Pages In 31 Days! Every day during the month of August, I'll be posting a single or double page scrapbook layout for your inspiration. I am running a Scrapbooking Summer School on four consecutive Thursday nights in August, and I've issued them a challenge--complete thirty-one pages in just thirty-one days, and they'll receive a bonus pack of Designer Series Papers at the end of the month!

YOU CAN PLAY ALONG with us by challenging yourself to complete thirty-one pages, too, and posting your progress here or chime in on Song of My Heart Stampers on Facebook. I also have set up a 31 Pages in 31 Days Facebook group, where you can even post pictures of your pages to inspire and encourage others who are taking the challenge, too!

Each of the five Fridays in August we will have SCRAPPER'S BLOG CANDY given away to one lucky winner from the previous week's comments here at the Song of My Heart blog. You can comment once on each entry with that has the cute little "31 Pages in 31 Days" logo above, that I created with My Digital Studio. There will be 31 entries by the end, so you have lots of chances to win!

So, without further, ado, here's some inspiration to kick us off! Here is the first page for 31 Pages in 31 Days 2014!

This single-page "Starstruck" layout is perfect for scrapbooking photos of your little one who is destined for a career on the stage or screen!

I started with a 12x12 sheet of Whisper White and added a bold mat of Hello Honey yellow, layering on color with washi tape, punches, star-shaped Framelit die-cuts, and self-adhesive alphabet stickers and fun little embellishments from the Everyday Adventure Project Life by Stampin' Up accessory pack. You'll be seeing quite a bit of Project Life by Stampin' Up around these parts this month!

 I hope you LOVE what you see during August, and I REALLY hope it inspires you to get back to scrappin'. Life is short and you have to carve out time for the things you love. If you don't scrap yet and you've wanted to get started, what is stopping you from fulfilling that creative dream? Don't hesitate to ask--I would love to help you get started!

See you tomorrow for Day Two of the 31 Pages in 31 Days series!

I'm really excited about this - I absolutely LOVE to scrapbook and stamp, and I'm just a few months behind on both of my kids' scrapbooks, so this will help boost my motivation to just get caught up! Love this layout!

[Doreen J]

I'm looking forward to being inspired and motivated!!

[Cheryl Tumbarello]

So excited this is starting again. Loved it last year and plan to have as much, if not more fun! This is awesome, Lyssa.

I took your challenge last year...and boy it paid off, personally especially! I can't wait to jump in this year!!

[Sue B]

Hope this inspires me to get busy scrapping again

[Deb Sumption]

Very nice. Love the stars.

[Cheryl Charland]

I usually don't like to scrapbook with the 12x12 sheet being white,but this one really works. Can't wait for this to start up again!

[Denise Heredia]

Love the Star stuck page! Nice and Clean!

[Terry Duncan]

Hi Lyssa,
I am excited to get started on my pages! I make so many cards, it's hard to find time for scrapbooking. I'm hoping I'll get some pages done as I follow along with you!

[Carole Doody]

I so appreciate your daily scrapbook inspiration. It will jump start me again on my boy's scrapbook pages I'm sure.

I struggle with pages for vertical photos since I don't take a lot. This page is great inspiration for them or could also be easily tip unread ninety degrees and used in horizontal mode! Thanks!
