The Imaginant: August 2012
http://theimaginant.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 8, 2012. All in the Design. This might be one of my favorites pages of all time. It mimics a sleek photo-book but has the 3D elements of traditional scrapbooking. My illustration of simplicity: LOADS of pictures on a page with little product and no journaling and delighfully lovely. Materials: picnic basket/PB&J paper by Basic Gray, American Crafts Thickers, scrap paper from my stash for the flag. Posted by Julie Aldridge. Monday, August 6, 2012. Simple Scrapper August Blog Hop! It's a ...

The Imaginant: December 2011
http://theimaginant.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 30, 2011. A Year In Review. A friend of mine is participating in the Year in Review blog hop. So I thought I'd join too. What a great way to look back over the year, highlight some of my favorite projects, and summarize what I've been up to. I'm going to break this up into types: some favorite single cards, some lovely sets of cards, some of my favorites scrapbook pages, flat/graphic cards I made this year, things I've been learning. Some of my favorite single cards:. Of plaid was my hig...

The Imaginant: March 2012
http://theimaginant.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 22, 2012. With warmer weather, visitors are starting to arrive again, yet for some reason, I am taking them North. Go figure. My dad visited us the other weekend, and we ventured into the colder weather. This layout is of us at my favorite lobster roll place before we headed up to Maine. And some happy detail:.

I Wanna Tell You: April 2012
http://iwannatellyoujh.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
I Wanna Tell You. Ernest Hemingway and one of his cats :). Thursday, April 26, 2012. This song - Whole Wide World by Wreckless Eric - came on my ipod today while I was driving and it put a big ol' smile on my face. It always reminds me of this scene from Stranger Than Fiction, which is a favorite movie of mine. Hope it makes you smile, too. Friday, April 20, 2012. The opening few paragraphs of this book. Patti Smith on Robert Maplethorpe. I love the way she writes about her relationship with Robert.

The Imaginant: Why hello there
http://theimaginant.blogspot.com/2013/05/why-hello-there.html
Saturday, May 25, 2013. In lieu of scrapbooking, I've been attempting to decorate an adorable cape cod. Mr. Handsome and I moved recently into an honest-to-goodnes house, and what began as frustration (having little furniture does that) turned into excitement as I started getting ideas and putting them into action. Action 1: painting the living room. Action 2: painting the kitchen. So much dark red beadboard and trim. Action 3: making artwork. And then I went for the black. Eek It may look fine on here, ...

The Imaginant: May 2012
http://theimaginant.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 30, 2012. Fall Layout: 2 pictures. Fall 2008 was amazing. Perhaps it's because grad school was over. Perhaps it was the newness of moving to a new city. Or being closer to Mr. Handsome. Or having friends visit. This layout was inspired by one of Susan Weinroth's layouts. That I found on Pinterest. My page wasn't going to be nearly as awesome as hers, but I tried anyway. I stuck to neutrals and added a little deep turquoise. Posted by Julie Aldridge. Tuesday, May 29, 2012. Turns out I was w...

Friday, May 31, 2013. Sweet, simple baby cards. I haven't done much crafting this spring, but it's certainly baby season! One friend has {finally} announced that she's pregnant, and another friend recently gave birth to her second child (who is a total cutie, by the way). These are the two cards I made for them. Sorry, no supplies listed.). Posted by Julie Aldridge. June 14, 2013 at 11:49 AM. LOVE you, Julie! August 26, 2013 at 11:53 AM. What sweet adorable cards! Im sure they will love it!

The Imaginant: February 2012
http://theimaginant.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 27, 2012. Simple Scrapper designs for March. I made 2 pages this month with the March Simple Scrapper Layouts. For the Switzerland page, I replaced all the 2x2 boxes from the template with one long strip of paper. I had cut up lots of 2x2 squares of paper and laid them out to use, but this take on it felt right with these pictures. Simple Scrapper Premium Membership. In the last detail picture above, the balcony looks like it's coming off the paper. I think that's neat. Paper is Basic Gr...

I Wanna Tell You: November 2011
http://iwannatellyoujh.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
I Wanna Tell You. Friday, November 25, 2011. Keep on keepin' on. Is an invitation into a consistent, long-standing relationship between you, the practitioner, and “it,” the thing to which you are committing. The concept of practice can be challenging for Western minds. Being linear and goal-orientated, we often focus on perfection and completion, which do not lend themselves to an attempted lifestyle change or spiritual development. 8211;–Aruni Nan Futuronsky, Senior Life Coach, Kripalu.
