More layouts done at the crop

I had made this layout a few years ago and finally found the perfect pictures for it. I had also purchased my first set of clear stamps at this crop - the journaling blocks with lines. I used it on this layout for the journaling. I didn't use a mounting block as I didn't buy one yet so it's not as clean but I think it's adds a little character to the layout. I now have a clear mounting block for the clear stamps for future projects and plan to buy more clear stamps as I really like them.

This is Marisa at gymnastics at the Little Gym. The layout idea and materials were actually from a page kit but the title they used was "Cutie" so I changed that and some other things to make the page my own. I obviously still have to journal on the horizontal strips.

So those were layouts of Marisa's 5th Birthday party and this layout is of professional family photos taken. They will go in my "All About Us" album.

Layouts done from 7 hour crop

I finally got to go to an all day crop at the local scrapbook store where I had 7 hours and all the scrap space to myself. No one else was there for the crop so I was in pure bliss. Cropping with no distractions or interruptions. I actually completed 10 pages. Here they are.

What I've been working on

Well, I recently finished the layouts in my 8X8 New Year's Eve album for 2007 & 2008 so I have posted them above. There are 11 completed pages in all. It wasn't really about creativity on these but more of just documenting the different parties we had and who was a part of them. I still have to print the photos from 2009 and do the layouts for those but have decided to take a break from this album and work on the rest of my 2008 layouts. At least by posting this it helps me see that I've been doing something...and that's always better than nothing. :) I'm excited to get back to 12X12 layouts and hope to have something new to share soon.
