No Power, Yes Scrapbooking

Well, What else can you do when a bad storm takes away your power, internet and water.  SCRAPBOOK!!
Here are some pages that I got done yesterday during the hours of daylight.  No way could I ever do it with candlelight.  Mind you, I didn't have my cricut to work with so I just used what I had including stamps. 

Christmas Scrapbook Page 1999

Here's a page that I just made starring my oldest daughter Hayley.  She was 15 month old and back then we didn't have digital cameras so we would have to take a whole roll of film just to make sure that we got at least 1 good picture for her Christmas card.  Boy have times changed.  She was so cute though and I can't believe that she's 12 now.  I Love hopping around with my scrapbooking and not really going in order.  I think that it's more fun that way. 

Anniversary Scrapbook pages

I finally did some scrapbooking.  It was from last October (2009).  We went to Morton's Steak house in Boston with 3 other couples to celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary.  We had a great time and even got a serenade by the 1 and only chef at the end of our meal.  He sounded like an opera singer.  It was fantastic!  Well here it goes...Hope you like it.

Sharing Some Pages

Hi All,
I thought I would share some scrapbook pages that my friend Rhonda sent to me a few days ago.  It's nice to know that other people got back into scrapping as well.  Rhonda has had this hobby for a number of years now and loves it just as much as I do.  She only wishes that she had more time to spend doing it (don't we all).   These pages came out great!

Finally started scrapbooking again!

I hope that I can keep going on these scrapbook pages this time.  It seems that everytime I get back into my groove with the scrapping, I end up having a card to make.  Not that I'm complaining.  I scrapped Halloween 2008 and coloring easter eggs 2009.  I know that I'm jumping around but my pictures are not in order and it's kind of fun and not so structured doing different dates in a mixed up kind of order.  I still add them to my books in order according to month and year.  As you can see, I usually try to do a left and right page that coordinate.  Sometimes I have an odd page like the halloween page.  There were a lot of pictures and I can't just do some and not others.  Enjoy!

I am having so much trouble trying to upload my photos to my blog tonight so I will try and upload the easter photos in a new post.  Click directly onto my blog to see the rest of the pictures.  Sorry.

Scrapbooking again

It's been a very long time since I have scrapbooked. Once I started making cards and other paper crafts, I got very behind on my scrapbooking. I enjoyed doing it again but, when I started to pick out paper I started to think that I forgot how to do it. It slowly came back to me. I try to create a left and right page of the same theme. I think that it looks alot nicer in an album. This 2 page set is from my daughter Hayley's 2nd dance recital in 2004. I cut out the Dance letters from my cricut using the George basic cartridge and did all my journalling inside of them. I used some silver stickles to match the silver crown on her head. I'm not the kind of person that will put 1 or 2 pictures on a page. I fit 11 pictures on this 2 page layout.
