This Boy...

This boy - makes me feel every emotion: Happy, Tired, Wonderful, Sad, Blessed, Joy, Overwhelmed & Love. This is so true and I was glad to be real and capture all this in a layout.I actually spritzed on the background (my first time to do so) with my terracotta shimmer mist spray, the "This Boy" and star paper are from the Rough & Tough line of Fancy Pants.

Yummy Mess

This is how Alton use to eat his ice cream cones - face first. This layout was inspired by the challenges taking place on Scrapbook Deals 4 U. I created this layout in 2 hours using a sketch for inspiration.

Oh, The Hats


This is a layout I had done before the retreat but never had a chance to post.

Bobby Flay - added touch

I thought something was missing from this layout and so I added the letters to spell "Bobby Flay" around the picture and I think it adds that missing touch and sort of acts like a title for the page. Just wanted to show it off....

SIFE Trips Album - Title Page

I completed an entire 9x9 album of my SIFE trips at the Scrapbook Generation Retreat and had only this title page left to finish. I quickly pulled this together so I could show off the finished product at work. I used chipboard for the letters in "trips" and covered them with patterned papers. "SIFE" was made by my cricut. I have grown to LOVE my cricut during the retreat as I found many ways to use it in this album.

Problem Solved - Now a 2 pager

Well, I had created a one page layout of Halloween (left side only) and by doing so it threw off the whole flow of my "Holidays we Celebrate" album. So with Kim's advice I found some more pictures and turned my one pager into a 2-pager. Is it just me or does it seem like it should've been like this from the start? Glad it worked out and I even managed to create a title for the layout. Glad this was an easy fix. Thanks Kim!

No Hate, No Hate - Just Love Love Love

Another layout using the Scrapbook Generation's sketch book. I love these papers that came in my KOTM club kit and love these pictures of the kids.

Project 365 has now become Project 12


I gave it a good try - taking a picture every day for a year but at about May I really started falling behind. So I decided to summarize each month instead. I'm still behind but this is much less overwhelming and easier to catch up on. Over the last few weeks I have completed March, April & May. This is just a sampling to show what I've been working on.
