I get there eventually

Poor Carine, she came over on Friday night to scrap, wanting to get me out of my recent scrapbooking funk. I'm sure she thought it was going to be a big flog since I must have stared at this layout for a good 2 hours. But then it started to come together and I managed to finish it before we went to bed. Yay! She wanted to get 3 layouts done but had to settle for two. Too much chattin' going on to make it to 3! Thanks for coming babe, always a good time! :)

Here's mine:

New Layout, Old Photos

I finished this layout last night. I was about to put the date on it, as '08, when I started to have a weird feeling these photos were actually from the summer before. Sure enough, I checked the photo file and they are indeed from 2007. Yikes!



Used various rub-ons from my stash for this, which made me happy to be using stuff up.

The journaling is quite small and cramped so in case you're interested, it says:
I love days with just the two of you, when you only have each other to play with. You look out for Breanna, like you did on this scary ride, and you share special moments. You guys found this little frog and enjoyed him so much that you tried to bring him home. Too bad he croaked!

If the story sounds familiar it's because I made a page with photos of this for Breanna's album. :)

Couple of Alex Layouts

I’ve been fairly productive this past week, managed to get 3 layouts done. I hope they’ll show bigger if you click on them. First time and all... ;) Here are the 2 I made for Alex' album:


This first one had something bizarre happen to the photos during the scan. Very odd. The photos don't have weird streaky, splotchy stuff going on IRL...



When Alex got his latest pair of glasses (after losing the first pair and breaking the second), he was being his usual uncooperative self about letting me take a picture. So I used Jack as my excuse, because he doesn't often say no to pictures with Jack.

He was so excited to get this pair of glasses. He purposely chose a funkier pair this time, inspired by his latest American Idol fave - Danny Gokey. Cute!!! By the end of the season he had become an Adam fan though, but I'm glad he looked up to someone with glasses for at least a little while. It's so different than when I was a kid and glasses automatically made you a nerd. Now they're actually a desired accessory. Go figure!
