Scrapbook Layout: New York Scrapbook, Broadway Show

Posted on November 26, 2013 by Nat

The Story: When we went to see The Producers on Broadway. I’m telling you, this vacation has everything that’s ubiquitously New York.

The Layout: Very very simple here. I just worked the tickets around the Playbill.

No Pictures: Nope, none at all. I of course couldn’t take pictures during the show. I’m not bothered by there being no pictures.

Playbills: I always include Playbills whole when I have them. See them previously here and here.

Earlier: Title Page, Central Park, Yankee Game, Museums, Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island, Times Square, Ground Zero, National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Font: Bebas | Tools: Epson Stylus R2000 (photos), Silhouette SD (headline) | Supplies: Neighborhood Stripe by Reminisce (patterned paper) | Ephemera Included: Playbill and tickets.

Scrapbook Layout: Vegas Trip with No Pictures

How about an all keepsakes, zero photo page? Pretty neat, huh?

I’m not that talented. I actually made this page on scrapbook autopilot and didn’t realize that it was zero photos and all keepsakes until I started writing this post. Sometimes I surprise myself.

The keepsakes make it difficult to get any real unifying color or design. It’s basically a loose collage. I just moved stuff around the page until the pieces fit together like a puzzle.

The colors of the cardstocks I used are pulled from the patterned paper. It still kinda looks like the color is going all over the place, but I like it.

Really? No pictures from a weekend trip? I know. This trip was very very last minute and was after a very busy time at work so we relaxed and I didn’t take any pictures (this was before real camera phones, you know).

Fonts: Japan (small font), Governor (large font) | Tools: Silhouette SD (headline) | Supplies: Crate Paper On Trend Swanky (patterned paper) | Keepsakes Included: Eiffel Tower Ticket, Boarding Passes, Room Key.

Scrapbook Layout: Seeing Shows

Posted on June 25, 2013 by Nat

I love it when I can bring together a ton of random keepsakes that I’ve saved. This page has theater programs,* concert tickets, movie tickets, and items from another show.

I don’t save movie tickets as a rule, but sometimes they end up in the box. Since I love context in scrapbooks, I included them here.

No photos in this layout, but I did use my photo printer. To make the page more interesting, I printed thumbnails for each movie to go next to the movie tickets. Google Images scores again!

I’m still working on mixing fonts like I did with the earlier football layout. I’m pretty pleased with this!

*Yes, I did a theater layout earlier in this same scrapbook, but that layout is for a particular weekend I spent with my sister-in-law, so I decided that needed a separate layout.

Fonts: Wisdom Script, Tandelle | Tools: Silhouette SD (headlines), Epson Stylus R2000 (thumbnail posters) | Supplies: Epson Semigloss Photo Paper (thumbnail posters) | Keepsakes Included: Programs, tickets.

Theatre Scrapbook Layout

All keepsakes, not much imagination here? You might think that but rest assured I labored over every detail.

This layout shows a weekend I spent in San Francisco seeing shows with my future sister-in-law. And I didn’t take any pictures. It’s so weird to see how my habits have changed!

I still kept keepsakes for my scrapbook back then and I love saving Playbills in particular. Playbills are huge though and it’s tough to work them into a layout.

I really considered cutting them up. But in previous scrapbooks I always included the entire Playbill. I struggled over this a bit but decided to keep them. You can add Playbills to the same category as National Park Service maps.

For the headline, I decided to try mixing fonts. Not bad for a first try, I think!

What would you do with the Playbills? Would you cut them up?
