Winter Layout Inspiration

I wanted to be able to show you winter in both colder and warmer climates, but would you believe I couldn’t find any layouts from warm-weather climates!! If you live (or spend your winter) where it’s warmer and have created winter layouts using my products, I’d love for you to share them in my Oscraps Gallery!  I might just feature them on this post!

    Hi Vicky –

    Thanks for sharing your inspirational thoughts. I love your work. As a retired graphic artist, I find myself very unfocused lately and darting around from one idea to another. I’ve joked lately that I’m better at making ‘things to do’ lists, than actually completing the tasks on the lists. I don’t have children, so I’m not flush with family memories, but more so of pets, hikes, travels and tons of photos from those events/activities. I decided recently that I would like to create memory pages along the lines of ‘These Are a Few of My Favorite Things’ — Favorite memories, Favorite Places, Hikes, Vacations, Nature and My Pets of course. So, now I just need to be productive and not let all of those photos and memories fade away.

    Sometimes I’d like to bounce things off of another creative. Someone like you, but my stuff may or may not have elements of your collections in them, so I understand if you’re too busy to collaborate. I also like to make banners and clusters and ready-made or quick page frames and I’m happy to share them. Do you have any interest or maybe a suggestion for where I can post work for input?

    I am also in CA — over in Novato. I’ve corresponded with you previously, but cannot remember what it was about. Hopefully it’s just because it was a while ago, and NOT that I’m losing my mind. Hopefully.

    Thanks again,
    Nan in Novato, or ‘Sgt. Scrapper’s Lonely Arts Club Brand’ (just a silly name the popped into my head yesterday)

      Hi Nan! Thank so much for your kind words! I know what you mean about being better at making lists than actually checking things off! Lol! I love that you’re thinking about ways to use your creative talents! And yes, we’ve communicated several times! Feel free to email me any time — you can just reply to one of my newsletter emails. I’d love to know more about what you’re doing and what you have in mind! And I LOVE that silly name!
