Our school book!

Each one of our kids has their own "school book". With the school pics and activities and awards etc. But THIS book is for the PARENTS! I have 2 pages with ALL their school portraits for each child. There there are the first day of school pictures. I can't believe how fast this book is getting filled. And sadly almost done being filled. :( Hard to believe David will graduate high school in 6 years. And yes! I do take first day of school pics even when they go to college if they are still living at home :D

Never pass up the opportunity to Scrapbook!

Last night I had a group of ladies from church over to work on projects. We had a great variety of projects: making cards, hemming pants, creating art, and of course, SCRAPBOOKING :D

Here's what I finished last night.

Another Circle Journal

We're almost getting to the point that our own circle journals will be making it home. I can't wait!! I think we only have 2 more to go. Here's the latest one I did. We're to tell about our home. In any way we want. I talked about my city and what I love about my home. It's mostly about the memories :D I found I just plain ran out of room.

Still doing the circle journals

I think there are only 2 or 3 left and then our books come home to us.

This one is called A Message to My Younger Self

Another Sketch

I LOVE scrapbooking by using a sketch for inspiration. Here's the latest one:

A few things I've been doing

So over on Scrap Jammies mb we wanted to do an ATC (Artist Trading Card) exchange. So about 6 of us brave souls said yes. I've NEVER done this before. It is a bit challenging to have such a small scrapping canvas. But boy! I LOVE how they came out. We picked our our topic for others to do.

Here's the ones I've done for others.

Your favorite scrapbooking technique. Mine is distressing and sanding

Shabby Chic - Something completely out of my comfort zone. It's very pretty just not my style. here's what I came up with.

What inspires you? My family and music

Your favorite holiday? Christmas!!

Your favorite pet? My dog Dutchess

My topic was Where's your happy place? I haven't done one of my own yet. I need to get to that. :D Here's how I display the ones that were sent to me.

We're also having an online crop this week. And here's what I've done so far.

More summer fun scrapping

I'm loving this summer. Between having wonderful sunshine and warm weather, I'm getting some scrapping done. You'd think I'd get caught up at this rate. Nope! I take too many pictures for that to happen.

Scrap Jammies kit - In the Zone

I'm also in a circle journal with some friends across the United States. We all pick a topic/theme and our book literally travels from place to place. Each person does a layout and mails it to the next person on the list. I'm always mailing to the same person. It's very organized and we have deadlines~every 2 weeks (which we're ahead of right now). So here's mine ~

THEE Wedding Album

So now that Tabitha & Josh officially have their book and I can now post the photos of the MARVELOUS, BEAUTIFUL, AMAZING work that Cassie did. Not only in the photography but in the way she put together the book. It's truly a family keepsake to be passed down through the generations. Please overlook my photography of the book. It truly doesn't do the book justice.

Love this summertime scrapping!

Pop in a movie and I take out my scrapping. I'm getting a lot done but I'm sure not even close to getting caught up.

These seriously are the LAST Disneyland 2007 layouts. I can't fit any more inside the book.

This is my favorite layout right now. I just LOVE how it looks. Not to mention it's about 2 of my kidletts. I loved how I happened to connect that I had all these pictures of Amber and David together. I added the rub-ons for the title.

Summertime Scrapping

Another Wedding layout

The minute I saw this kit was in the ScrapJammies kit for June I knew exactly what pictures I was going to put on them. The photo on the left was taken by our photographer Cassie and the ones on the right were taken simultaniously by our friend Kim. I loved being able to use these pictures together. I'm very pleased with the way it turned out.
