NEW! Scrapbook Process Video: Daily Burn 365 (I Messed Up the Title!)

1 Comment

Today, I’m sharing a brand new scrapbook layout called Daily Burn 365 using the Paige Evans Wonders Collection by American Crafts. To be honest, this layout took me forever and a day to complete! I blame my talent for overthinking the design process and seeking perfection. Is it my favorite layout? Nope. But, it is done and that’s all that matters!

Check it out!

Since 2016, I have subscribed to an online fitness program called Daily Burn 365. As the name suggests, subscribers can stream a new workout daily (365) that can be completed at anytime. There are a variety of workouts available to include cardio, yoga, and strength training.

Over the past year, I have decided to do the Daily Burn workouts at least 5-6 days a week as a way of managing my anxiety; a little something I discovered in 2020 (I’m not sure why, hmmm….😀).

I absolutely love this program because all of the workouts are under 30 minutes and they are designed for all skill levels. So, I decided to create a layout to document my fitness journey and how this program has helped me to stay active, right from comfort of my own home.

Now, you may have noticed something…the title on the layout says Daily Burn 356, not Daily Burn 365. Well, I flubbed and messed up the title! And I didn’t notice my error until AFTER I finished filming the process video for this layout.

Good grief!

I guess this layout will say 356 forever because I’m too lazy to change it! LOL!

I could use Un-Do Adhesive Remover to fix the title. But…I think the error gives this layout a little charm, don’t you think? 😀

Be sure to visit the Victoria Marie YouTube Channel to see this layout come together. Also, if you are a Victoria Marie Patron, you get exclusive access to the Daily Burn 365 Bonus Video, now available on the Victoria Marie Patreon site. In this video, I deep dive into the creative process behind this project.

Hello friends! Today on the Victoria Marie YouTube Channel and Blog, I am sharing my Top 10 Scrapbook Layouts of 2021, plus a little extra! Click on the video below to see my top picks! Then scroll down to see photos of my selected layouts.

At the end of the year, I like to take a moment to pour through my completed layouts. I enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that I have albums full of stories that I can look back on. This is one of the many reasons why I enjoy scrapbooking!

For me, it’s not enough to just make a layout, then put it away sight unseen. I want to cherish all of my layouts for many years to come! And I hope you will take a moment to do this same!

December Daily Story #2: Noelle and Waffles

Leave a comment
Merry Christmas and welcome to the Victoria Marie Blog! Today, I am sharing Story #2 of my December Daily 2021 album called Noelle and Waffles.

About two years ago, my daughter and I started a new holiday tradition – we watch Noelle on Disney Plus while eating delicious waffles, bacon, and hot chocolate. When this movie first premiered, we watched it over 25 times during the month of December! Since then, it has become one of our favorite holiday movies.

I kept this spread simple – the journaling is typed on a 3×8 inch pocket card from an older December Daily kit. I created a text box in Photoshop, printed a test copy, then adhered the 3×8 pocket card over the test copy and ran it through my printer.

Next, I resized and printed the Noelle movie posted (Google images) and added photos of my daughter and I enjoying our special Noelle breakfast.

On the outside of the 6×8 inch page protector, I adhered two chipboard stickers and a wood veneer label that says, “This makes my heart happy” – the perfect sentiment for this story.

On the back, I added a pocket card from the December Daily 2020 kit along with additional photos (3×4 inch and 4×6 inch).

As my daughter gets older, I am noticing that her interests are changing. The little preschooler that was once super excited for Santa to come has been replaced with a tween who prefers to stay in her room (most days of the week). It is a bittersweet transition. However, I am comforted by the fact that there are some traditions that we can enjoy together…without tween angst!

To see this spread come together, check out the video below! Happy Holidays friends!

The Victoria Marie Facebook Group is BACK!

Leave a comment

Exciting news! The Victoria Marie Facebook Group is BACK!

Here’s the backstory…

A few months ago, I moved the Victoria Marie Facebook Group community to a platform called the Might Network. At the time, I thought that this platform would be a good fit for this community and enable us to increase engagement. 

However, after using this platform for a few months, I have learned that it is not a good fit, both for our community and for me as a content creator. 

Also, the Mighty Network platform can be really difficult to navigate, especially from a backend standpoint – it’s just too complicated to manage. 

So, I made the decision to return our community back to our old stomping grounds…the Victoria Marie Designs Facebook Group!

To join or rejoin the Victoria Marie Designs Facebook Group, click HERE. The group as been reopened so head on over! 


READ! UPCOMING CHANGES:

Here are a few of changes that I will be making in October as we transition from the Mighty Network back to Facebook. More details will be provided soon. 

  • Victoria Marie Designs Online Virtual Crops:  Starting in November 2021, I will be hosting my monthly Online Virtual Crops in a private Facebook Group. More details will be shared at a later date so stay tuned. NOTE: The October 2021 Seasons of Change Online Virtual Crop will remain on the Mighty Network Platform until winners are announced on October 12th. 
  • The Project DONE: A Year-Long Scrapbooking Journey online class will be moved to the Victoria Marie Designs Online Classroom, hosted on Thinkific, starting in November 2021. I will provide specific details about this process in a couple of weeks. Meanwhile, the class will remain on the Victoria Marie Mighty Network until the transition is complete. 
  • The Victoria Marie Mighty Network site will close on November 1, 2021. 

To join or rejoin the Victoria Marie Designs Facebook Group, click HERE. 

Thanks so much for your continued support! As an entrepreneur, I am constantly evaluating my systems, platforms, and processes in order to provide a great experience to this community. 

I am glad that we are going back to where it all started in 2014!
