True Love

Another Valentine's inspired page. Daughter and BF at Disneyland in November. But the Christmas planting in the background screamed out for more flowers!

Sweethearts

Son and his GF at Disneyland. Makes a perfect Valentine's Day type scrapbook page.

Background

I found a great website that was super simple to use to change my background! I am so excited. Check the spot at top left and check it out. What fun. Maybe one of these days I'll even be able to make my own background.

January Jumpstart

Yesterday was the annual January Jumpstart for scrapbooking that my Creative Memories consultant holds. I realized this year that all my friends go to different churches now so the only time we get to catch up is at scrapbook events. I think I did more talking than working! However, I did get several pages done. Here are a few of my favorites.

Disneyland is always our favorite vacation spot. It's more fun with the kids and their BF/GF's.

Computer illiterate

I've been trying for two days to figure out how to customize my blog. I cannot figure out how to get from downloading from a website to uploading to flikr or photobucket. For some reason it downloads, but then I can't retrieve. Oh well. I will have to find someone to do it for me.

Mini File Folder Travel Journal

I made this travel journal using Christy Miller's template that she posted on the Memory Makers Magazine blog. It came out really cute. At first I was going to give it to my Husband for his next trip overseas, to save receipts etc in. However, I think I will donate it instead to a fundraiser that includes a silent auction. The fundraiser will raise the final support for the two ladies from our church who are going on the next mission trip with my husband. It is hard to raise money around here so fundraisers dinners are absolutely necessary.

I also made another of these file folder minis using bright papers and a "love" theme. It has more ribbon and less of the travel feel. Still cute. However, I love the collage look and the layered old world feel.

Enjoy.

Scrapbook

For some reason I have a hard time figuring out what to post on my blog. I've been wanting to post this scrapbook page for a while but my camera went to Jordan and Egypt with Husband so I haven't gotten around to it.


I made some pages to enter the Memory Maker's Magazine Masters contest. I really wanted to use this one but couldn't get all the needed model release forms signed in time. That's the problem with adult/college age kids. The pictures often include their friends who are from different towns. They always have to sign for themselves as they are over 18. So I thought I'd post here.

I loved the pictures of Son and Daughter with their dates. We took the kids to Disneyland in April and had a great time. Son and GF had taken swing dancing all semester at college and found the swing dancing at the Carnation Plaza a lot of fun. Daughter and BF are walking down the queueing line at the Indiana Jones ride. Sorry the journaling didn't show. I used Olive ink on olive paper. doesn't show in the photo.
