Scrapbooking

Yes I am still alive... just busy.  I found some time last night to do a quick page.  I used my Studio Calico January kit.  AND I am now officially done with my 2010 scrapping.  Now I need to spend some time sorting through 2011 photos and getting them uploaded to print.  Once I have them in hand I hope to get a good start on last year!

P.S. Susan I used your Xmas gift to make all the stitches!

Scrapbooking

A quick one I did last week... just now getting to post it.  I watched a Glitter Girl (Shimelle) video about layering on Two Peas and made this great layout.

Ashley and Riley

The hardest part of our move for Ashely STILL is leaving her best friend Riley.  She still misses Riley and is constantly asking to visit her.  I had to scrap this cute picture of the two on their last day of pre-school.  We miss you Riley!

My mission is to get 2010 in the books... here is one towards that mission.  My baby was only two days old, she looks so little!

Scrap-a-Palooza

I spent almost all day Saturday (9AM -7:30 PM) at a huge crop.  There were 275 croppers!   I finished my December Daily all the way to day 31!.  I got a good start on Allison first year album (about 15 pages) and I did a hand full of layouts.  I am still trying to finish out 2010 so I can start into 2011.  I got close but darn it I still have a few 2010 layouts to do.

 

 We got a My Minds Eye kit with our admission and it was Christmas papers, which was great because I had all my 2010 Christmas photos to do.  Just a quick layout about Ashley's 4 wheeler from Santa.  The trees came from a layout by Nicole Samuels on Basic Grays blog around Christmas time, I think they turned out really cute!

 

 Another layout with my MME kit and more 2010 Christmas photos!

 Another layout with my MME kit, I got my worth out of it!

 

This one is a hodge podge of what I had on hand.  The "let it snow" was a card front that I received from Davinie when I won a prize on her blog years ago.  It was so cute and I didn't want to waste it so I made a layout around the card colors.

This is just a small sampling of what I got accomplished!  I wish I could do this once a month and then I would get caught up!

Scrapbooking

It has been forever since I made a layout.  We got this great picture of David and Susan recently from their Aunt Donna and it matched my January Studio Calico kit perfectly.  I used this layout by Layle Koncar as inspiration (read scraplift).  I need to add some journal strips but I was going to consult with David to see if he remembers anything in particular about this day/horse/etc. (Susan how about you?).

I am preparing for Scrap-a-Palooza this weekend!  It is a lot of hard work to make sure you have everything you might think you need for a long crop.  I have lots of photos printed and hope to finish Allison's 1st year album!
