Jump

I am so glad it's the weekend. I had my gran daughter spend the night last night. I love having her over. She brings a new life to my house. I need to take her somewhere today to take more pictures so I can scrapbook them. Maybe the park would be a good place but if the temps are in the 90's you can forget that idea. I may just have to find some place inside. I'll have to think about this for a little bit and check the outside temp. 

It seems some of my more simple layouts I love the most. I just love this layout. It was created using the June Juicy Sweet Peach Crop Shop kit. I love the banner and the clouds.



Have a good weekend!

Camping Trip

Here are a few layouts using some photos I took while on a camping trip. I tore a slit in the paper and sewed an X over the folded back piece. My journaling is tucked away in a pocket that I had in my stash for years. I love to look through my stash and find stuff I still like from purchases made years ago. I have to confess most items I bought from years ago I don't like. I ended up giving so much of it away so it's nice when I find things I like as much now as I did then. It's even nicer when I can find the perfect place to use them.




Here is another one from a camping trip. My son Wesley showing his daughter how to fish. I love photos that show interaction between people. I used some stickers on this one. Yes, I used stickers but I think they worked. Most everything on this layout was from my old stash. I am trying to use some of that stuff I bought so long ago that I thought I couldn't live without at the time. I made the tags from office supply tags and cut the title from my Cricut.

Play Hard / No Limits

 Here are two layouts I added to the Sweet Peach Crop Shop blog Friday. I love the papers and colors in the July kit and they worked so good with these photos. The two layouts were not intended to be a double page layout even though the papers are exactly the same. I Love my two nieces and enjoyed taking these pictures as much as I enjoyed making the layouts. My last year has been so busy I didn't even get to one of their games. I will make an effort next year to slow down and enjoy them more. After all they will be grown soon.

My son bought his first house in August of 2007. I was so proud of him. These pictures are from his house warming party in Sept.

You are not seeing double. These are duplicate pictures. I ended up with a lot of extra pictures after making a Birthday poster for Aubrey's big #3 so I had to scrapbook them. Besides, I will put some of these layouts in a book for her to keep at home. Aren't these great pictures?  This layout is really nothing to brag about just added the pictures and a few embellies. The pictures were so big and over powering not much else to do.

Here is the July Sketch #1 for Sweet Peach Crop Shop. The July kit is so awesome. The layout I did is about Aubrey's eye surgery. I wanted to try paper rolling on the edges. It didn't turn out exactly like I wanted but it will do. The rain drops didn't come out at all like I had hoped. I was going to start all over just because of this one item. I decided to keep the rain drops because they reminded me of how bad Aubrey's eyes would tear. The tears would run down her checks and it would look as if she were crying but it was just those nasty styes. They continue to treat her eyes but the styes are returning. I hope this time the medicine will remove them without more surgery. 






Another layout from a Sweet Peach kit. This one is from the April kit. Their kits are great.

This layout was created for Sweet Peach Crop Shop with their May kit. The colors fit perfectly with this picture.

Here is a double layout with pictures I took in my front yard one beautiful day. I used some Webster's Pages paper and flowers from some floral stems I picked up somewhere. I hope you enjoy.

I took these photos of my neice Kaitlyn and April and wanted to scrapbook them. I was really happy with how they turned out.

We just returned from a camping trip to Desoto Falls State Park in AL with some friends. We had a really good time but very hot. I only took about five pictures the entire weekend so I'm a bit bummed about that. I must get better about taking pictures. How can I scrapbook if I keep forgetting my camera? Do you ever do that?

This is a layout of my niece and grand daughter. It was taken at my mother-in-laws house just after Aubrey started walking good. I love how my niece Stephanie was coaching her along. There were no fancy techniques here just a very simple quick layout I did in a few minutes.
