I'm in a mood. I couldn't really tell you why, I'm just in a mood, pick your reason. So, I went up to my happy place — the scrap/office and took pictures of some of my fave layouts from a couple of years ago that I came across while trying to organize. The key word there is trying. I think I need a big giant scanner for my scrapbook pages. The scrap/office is almost complete, I need to hang a few more things and organize, but I thought you might enjoy a pic of the "in progress" stage.
This is a really simple layout I did for Molly's 6th birthday. The photos were grainy, but I liked the look. I filled one of the Heidi Swapp hearts with beads and liked the way it turned out.
Katie is our middle child. She is moody, serious, funny, wacky, sweet, and mean and I have no idea where all that comes from. One day at McDonalds all those facets came out and I photographed her. The paper I used is from Basic Grey's Blush line.
I'm only putting this one up to show y'all the cat that ran away. This layout pretty much sucks — I've never liked it because it's themey and I hate themey scrapbooking, but whatev. Tinkerbell was Molly's cat we adopted when Andrew was born and the cat was full-on crazy. Her favorite thing to do was to jump out and bite you when you turned a corner. Seriously. Tinkerbell was psycho. I had two really great cats prior to getting this one, so I was not prepared for the cat from hell. One day about 6 months ago, she jumped out and bit Molly and I threw the cat outside, like I had done a dozen times. She always meowed for a while and I'd let her back in, well this time, she hit the road, never to be seen again. I'm sure some poor family took her in and she's terrorizing them now.
This is a layout I did at least two years ago, before the doodling thing in scrapbooking really took off. I've always been a pioneer (in my own mind). The flower stems are some of the lyrics to "My, How You've Grown" by 10,000 Maniacs.
"'My, how you've grown.' I remember that phrase from my childhood days
too. 'Just wait and see.' I remember those words and how they chided
me, when patient was the hardest thing to be. Because we can't make up
for the time that we've lost, I must let these memories provide.
I should have known. At your age, in a string of days the year is
gone. But in that space of time, it takes so long."
More scrapbooky stuff to come, as it's uncovered in due time.
