The organized scrapper

Finally!
I've been trying to get 2 more crop n style filer cube's for over a year and they FINALLY had them at Robert's. I used my trusty 50% off coupon and voila.
ALL my kits and pages are organized.
I have printed out ALL the photos for each kid and the family, including Hobbs, to be scrapped and now I am raring to go.
I love being organized.
I was starting to feel a bit guilty as so many visitors comment on all my scrapbooks because I knew that most of them have a couple of years to catch up. I know, wah wah. It's not as bad as 20 years but I actually have an entire drawer full of kits, already put together, just needing the pictures.


I see a new book shelf in my future:)

Trading Pages.

My scrap buddies play this game where we trade photos with each other and scrap each others pages.
It's fun to see what you get back.

I love how Trudie used metal washers and leather letters. She knows how to do big boy pages.


My 2 oldest are almost ready to fly the coop and these memories mean so much to me.
Roni captured Jordan in this layout with a title of "That Boy!" and phrases like "here to live out loud"
Thanks ladies.

My latest swap

I'm in a group that swaps layout kits.
We design a 2 page layout, it must be generic and include up to date good quality embellishments. We take a picture and then make kits with all the parts to make the page.


The fun part is getting together to swap. You end up with all different kits and spend the evening putting them together.

Curt's Graduation announcements.

I made a fold out and used Velcro to seal it.
I included some action shots including what would've been his freshman year.
It seems a bit more personal and lets face it, people already knew he was graduating so it's fun to reflect on the 4 years.

Simply Summer.

This warm weathers got me thinking a dip in the lake would be nice



I liked this simple layout. I got all 4 pages out of 3 sheets of colored paper.
I used excess water photos to cut the title from.
This is how I get allot of big pics in without crowding.
I used brads rub ons and ribbon.

Doing Disney, Different

Disney pictures are so fun to take but when you get home you realize you have albums full and surely you don't want to scrap them all in primary colors with fairy stickers so here is my latest Disney pages.
Click on the image to enlarge.

I used a swap by Patty for this one.

This is an original

This was a swap from Ronie

This was a page kit from My Scrapbook Zone.

Cool Quotes.




This paper actually inspired me to take pictures of my "BIG" boys. It is sometimes hard to capture them, they joke, they prank, they make my life...challenging.
But these quotes really say well what boys mean to me. No puppy tails or trains.



Supplies- I'll get back to ya on that. I added white ribbon and stickers.
